Curiously, do you think that's right? I get JC is an annoying crybaby and also extremely in need of some mental help. But it was till his idea, and to parade it as your own seems idk weird? And in someway most exe designs always harken back to the og Sonic.exe design... I find that so interesting.

[@Top10Dylan]

@@Top10Dylan I'm sorry, but that's insane. And it kinda overlooks the question I asked. Setting the precedent of taking others' ideas isn't really right. I agree there can be circumstances. But Sonic.exe clearly inspired his many spinoffs. My personal insane take, is that I wish SEGA would just destroy all forms of Sonic horror content off the face of the Earth, but yeah that's not happening. All in all, it may not have been his, but he put the biggest spotlight on it, and to take ownership, you have to be given ownership. Don't get me wrong I despise JC for making this nonsense popular, but even then, I don't think it's right to steal others' ideas. It's comparable to stealing an OC.

@@pufflord_gamesonicsoloesyo2365 yeah well I don't care lol. If something is made by a deplorable person I'm absolutely fine with the ownership going to someone else.

You can't just pick and choose what's ok, either everything's ok or nothing's ok.

@@Top10Dylan How am I picking and choosing? I never said that I liked the content, I flat out said I prefer it didn't exist at all. But again, it's this kinda stuff that makes sense in the now, and then when it comes back to bite you or others... well yeah. Aside from the fact that the whole situation got blown to unreasonable proportions. He's also a crybaby, so I don't care what his fate is. My point is that it doesn't make sense nor does it feel right to take ownership of something that isn't yours or even the person who originally created it. Like literally, in my selfish utopia, horror variants would be destroyed the second they were found. I despise Sonic.exe, it's lame, the community is lame, the people are lame, list goes on. My point is purely from an absolute perspective, does taking ideas from people end well? Especially if it never stops. There are some other examples where the outcome isn't good at all. I discussed this with another commenter, and they were able to make me understand, but even still, being joyful about idea stealing is weird to me. Honestly, to each their own, just my take.

[@mosaicarts828]

Heya, creator of Sonic 1 Prototype here, a funny thing about that game is that I specifically made it so that I could submit something to Luigikid's first exe challenge on a whim.

The thing about Tails' name of "Alan" being the name of a victim of exe's is correct. Knuckles' name also changes to Dave and Robotnik's changes to Paul. X happily stuffs the souls of his victims into the game to torment them further, and just eventually noms the soul right out of the Sonic character shaped body when he finally gets bored, which is what he did to Robotnik/Paul. Alan is also the name of Tails in Sonic PC Port, which since it's also a project of JoeDoughBoi, is probably a good indicator if it being the same character.

[@chocomelo454]

Dave is such a white name this is hilarious to me bc Knuckles is very clearly meant to be indigenous and from somewhere in Africa

The MARIO inspiration for Green Mountain is very apparent, but I appreciate that the latter has a more focused direction with a short but eerie background story. I remember having my mind blown when the official sequels to MARIO were uncovered, only for the plot to diverge from the story of a murderer to something about a mysterious disease because the adolescent creator was just throwing darts on a board all along. I’m not sure if the creator of Green Mountain has more planned in store, but the story seems to be complete in a way that leaves you with questions that’ll haunt you, which I like.

[@chocomelo454]

Yeah that was ny thought especially with the user being named greenmou_sonic Albeit mayhe missing thr part of MARIO where it was reuploaded by a regulsr user after a mysterious account uploaded it durijg the night before randomly deleting itself.

​​​@@brawler5760As someone that finished Time Twisted, the game is actually pretty solid and in my opinion pretty GOOD. One thing I can say about the fangame is the fact it has some of THE BEST music any Sonic fangame has. Just listen to Attraction Attack (Past), Frigid Fortress (Future) and Sunken Saucer (Both parts) and you'll see what I mean. As for what the thing is horror game, I'm still surprised but I guess it has to do with the ending with Galactnik, a parody of Galactus from Marvel, having Super Sonic going through his face and stomach in a pretty unexpected (And quite unecessary, which is by far one of the only negative thing I can say about the game) and bloody fashion before exploding with his limbs being left.

Thanks for playing childhood.cue, it really means a lot, i have some things to say here. the sprite animation look it's on purpose, also a lot of this game was rushed because of deadline, i had 10 days to make the actual game (the 3d part), the 2d part looks a lot more polished because it wasn't really rushed, but i really didn't have the time to make everything i wanted. the game was going to be a lot more like silent hill, with inventory and objectives. it has an actual lore, where there is a "good entity" that helps you to survive (yes, he's the glitchy square that follows you), a lot of people missed that you can lose limbs, and get metal ones after a few seconds, so you don't bleed to death, so that's something that the good entity can do, i won't say a lot more, because i want to save it for a complete version with an actual plot, i thought there wasn't going to be anymore exe challenges, but maybe i'm wrong, if there is, i'm 100% going to make the complete version for that challenge, so expect more of childhood.cue, i guess. also some notes about the lore, childhood has an actual entity that can spawn enemies by seeking through the "memory card", that's why the thumbnail has Crash Bandicoot on the background, this is going to be a lot more bigger than it is now, i hope i can show the lore sometime soon

Green Mountain is such a fascinating game. This is probably the closest this fanbase has to a M A R I O or a Coronation Day. Just something that isn't explicitly gorey or in your face with acknowledging you or evil Sonic, but is just confusing and probably unanswerable. That's something I kinda wish these games would move more towards. If not making something that's more unnervingly unanswerable, at least dial back the blood and gore aspect cause like... yeah, even if it's not scary to begin with, it's getting old. It's great we're getting some fangames that are at least getting out of that mold a bit.

With Sonic.OMT, all of the characters have multiple secret routes and deaths, but I think 2 that changes the scene except I think Eggman who has 1. You can also find other creepypasta Sonics in the game as well, such as Lord X (Eggman, also has a cutscene), Sonic.EYX (Tails, jumpscares you), Fatal Error (Knuckles, f*cking kills you), Sonic.RIBS (Knuckles, vibing) and a few others. The 2 places Tails can go is to Lava Reef Zone, where Sonic is such a kind soul by helping Tails wash his face with a lavabath. While you explore the area, you can find Eggman's corpse in his drill car behind a destructible wall. You get to this zone by escaping Sonic in the hide and seek section, which you can do with a correctly placed spindash. Tails can also go to Labyrinth Zone, which also has a lot of death scenes that can each be considered the most disturbing in the game. You get here by breaking a destructible wall, but I don't remember where or when. The death scenes in this feature Sonic becoming an animorph and turning into a spooder with a chase scene where if he catches you you get a nice acupuncture treatment, and if you get a way, Sonic gets you a nice refreshing drink that you could sip on the beach if you wanted. Oops, read that wrong, HE turns YOU into a drink for him to enjoy on the beach. From the looks of things, he turns you into Kool-Aid. You also can get fake out drowned, but I don't remember the other death scenes in Labyrinth. I don't remember how to get to Knuckles' other secret, but I'm pretty sure it takes you to Sandopolis. There, Sonic gives you a free sticky hand... By turning your arm into one, so you can't really use it. Oh, he also makes you crawl everywhere. After gliding over a couple of arm fetish pits, you come across a trail of hanging bars above a very long arm fetish pit, and you need to quickly get across this pit because Sonic is behind you with his cosplay of the Basilisk from Harry Potter, and he's getting impatient of waiting in the line to get into the convention. It's possible to escape, you just need to do it 2 or 3 times, and a bit after you escape you can come across I think 2 endings. One ending (unless I'm thinking of another place in this game) takes Knuckles to Hidden Palace after going an alternate route where he tries to get to his rock collection. Sonic's there too, and really likes the rock collection. However, Sonic is such a clumsy goofy goober that he crushes Knuckles' green rock in his hand. Then I think what happens is that Sonic forgot his lunchbox at home, so he asks Knuckles if he can share some of his as he doesn't have any lunch money. Knuckles says that he had already eaten his lunch so it would be in his stomach, which is good enough for Sonic. For what I think is another ending, I can't remember what happens.

Green mountain's heavy contrast looks like the old Sonic tokyo toy show beta screenshots, and the emptiness of the level fits the empty hills in the images. Bot to mention the fake sonic uses abilities and sprites that are seen in early beta's and concept art. The sonic does a jump move that was used in early beta's to show sonic celebrating after completing an act. The way sonic doesn't roll into a ball while jumping is also an early move, and most likely its the same for the sprite of sonic punching the wall while pushing at the screen. Its all probably madw to feel like its an incomplete sonic beta thats haunted in some way.

[@eljaminlatour6633]

Also, the Tails secret in Sonic 2011. If you manage to beat the level section or let time run out, Sonic.exe will appear and take Tails away, you're taken to a black screen that says "Now N- Don't be shy!" After that, Tails is taken to Angel Island Zone/Hide and Seek, as if it never happened. In the secret Knuckles section, doing so will make Sonic appear, and he'll fight you directly, without the need of taking you to the end of Scrap Brain Zone/You can't run. If you step on any set of stairs and let time run out in "...", the stairs will turn into a steep slope causing you to fall down to a flat surface so that Sonic.exe can kill Eggman.

If i wrote the "Hyper-Realistic" thing, i would say "Too detailed for the Genesis's 16-bit capabilities"

[@Wizardjones69]

better not give any details, it feels like the creepypasta was made just to have fangames, thats why the over top descriptions, not give details makes alot of re-interpretations, not just the same one

The ending gave me a big smile, thanks 😊

As it was foretold, so it shall be. Snoic has re-entered the Toadbup Cinematic Universe.

Unnecessary meta horror is real. It used to be cool, what, a decade ago to see a creepypasta or just horror-related game 4th wall break and communicate with the player / mess with their PC. It was something never seen or thought of before, it made the game feel real and alive, almost sentient. But when every indie horror title started doing this, it just got annoying and repetitive. "Oh no, the name of my PC is in the game? Aaaaaah" or "the game forcefully crashed and wants me to re-open it? So scary!" In reality it's all been done before now to death, and unless it does something really talented and outside of the box with this concept, it's just annoying to see Sonic once again crash my PC with his ugly mug.

[@RedSpade37]

Yeah, I agree 100%, and also wish that the meta-elements could see some kind of deconstruction/reconstruction of some kind, because it's a neat idea, but it's always the same 3 tropes, over and over. While not a creepypasta game, The Hex had some interesting and inventive "meta" elements, and it might be neat to see something more explicitly horror try things like that.

[@DoIIy]

I actually hope it stays that way. I'm not looking to be doxxed by a sonic game nor ha e them download some random malwear anytime soon

[@dudeguy8553]

The idea of a "haunted game" in general is just completely overdone by now.

[@SmokeyOwOs]

Makes me appreciate the small 4th wall breaks like when Spec ops the line pulls up your gamertag for the special guest part of the credits

[@FormerlyIvorMinecraftStoryMode]

Meta Horror is only good when it's done like IMSCARED, un-intrusive, actually interesting, has good gameplay integration, etc, etc, it has to be good.

[@MythicMachina]

The thing I like about the One Last Round series is how far it pushes Sonic's design. It takes what is normally a innocent mascot character and shows how shockingly well this character's design can be scary if you're creative enough. Also, for the topic of 4th wall break going too far, I do feel like you're onto something. There's a video called "The ethicies of developer trolling" that talk about this exact topic. There's more I can say but this comment is already long enough.

[@corven03]

your reviews of each game were greatly enjoyable and i appreciate the amount of research you did going into these, looking forward to maybe a part two if more games come out sooner or later. i will say i would recommend looking into one last round, the remake of one more time. I think it starts to raise some of the problems that are apparent with Mr. Pixel's line of games, as you can see Sonic.exe "wanting to spice things up" but the deaths just grow repetitive and it never changes the outcome or contributes to any sort of larger narrative. the game also gets overbearingly halloween-y with its aesthetics and kind of lack any sense of restraint. Still worth checking out.

[@K3N0PSIA]

yeaaa OLR is like "ohh guys look at these deaths ohh aren't they so SCARY? ohhh look at them AGAIN but changed up somewhat ooo!!!". i think it Could be scary but it becomes a snoozefest really fast. (thats just my take, though. i tend to stay away from gamejolt .exe games sometimes because 50/50 they're either ok at best or downright malware. with a secret % being genuinely good.)

[@K3N0PSIA]

Yeaaa thats why i dont like omt/olr...it feels like "lets spice things up!! 😈😈😈 (literally almost the exact same stuff but with more gore and such" lol. Feels kinda overhyped tbh. (I swear i thought i replied to this BEFORE but its not showing up for me.)

I like how some games make it seem like sonic destroying your computer is worse than him leaving the digital realm and destroying the entire earth

[@N4t-.]

7:22 So, about Tails, Alan is on of X’s victims (yes, that’s his real name) and it’s the same for Dave (Knuckles) and Paul (Eggman) By the way, Sonic.exe in One More Time and his sequel isn’t called like that, his real name is Sonic.OMT or OMT to be shorter (OMT stand for One More Time)

[@chris08crimson08]

My take on exe is that he disgustingly starts to mutate into a stick figure with horns and appendages coming out from ''sonic's'' eyes. Pretty much the demon's face will be close up when all 7 spooky sonics are slayed, painfully carving an entire sentence with his nails ''I am in control of this world, i am myself in this world, i will always be myself and never EVER CHANGE''

[@SSPGwemlin]

Been a sonic fan for 13 years and I’ve loved the horror side of sonic for years.

[@gamerowl9934]

Nice video! I was hoping and really looking forward to Green Mountain, that is my favorite Sonic Creepypasta right next to the remake of the original Sonic.exe. There is something about Green Mountain that really creeps me out, the way it tells it's story is very unsettling to me and that one picture of the Demonic Sonic corpse laying on the ground gave me nightmares. I wonder what else was found about the story and see people's interpretation of Corpse Sonic.

[@destinygalearies7382]

Your video editing/sense of humor is awesome as always, thanks for uploading again!

[@Uncertified_Legend]

In Sonic.exe 2011 The reason why Tails is Named Alan (and Knuckles being named Dave and Robotnik being named Paul) Is because They are fictional humans in the Game Universe who's soul were put into Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik (highly alluded to)

[@Ame-chan143]

I love your videos honestly this is some of the times when i dont get mad when i wait 1000 years for 1 video

[@NightMareSethZ1]

green mountain actually is theorized to lead you to a real body buried in a mountain. You should also play the cancelled version of last round cause theres some really good pixel art

[@P5dfsf64g36]

0:21 someone tagged Omens and Time Twisted as horror game 💀, tbh Omens kinda deserved 24:02 i've tried pillow shading and smooth shading for pixel art before, and they never turned good results so I'm ended up grown to be intolerant towards pillow shader artist 25:04 literally the ending screen from Doom 1 26:59 stardust speedway 💀

[@smackyamama457]

yknow when i think of sonic i suddenly get flashbacks to either sonic.exe or sonic the werehog

[@zerostudioszx3227]

Fun fact: I once tried playing Vanilla.EXE, but because of the coding it has to bluescreen your PC at the end, Malwarebytes identified it as a threat to my PC and had me immediately delete it.

[@isolated_illust]

Some stuff I had on my mind while watching this: 1:59 surprised to know that Revie owns a portion of Sonic.exe as iirc, like the og Sonic.exe owner, they were also under fire for some heinous acts a few years ago (specifically when the fnf mod for Sonic.exe was in its prime. Yeah, I know, I mentioned fnf, cringe) so yeah, just smth I remembered and I wonder if they still have their third of Sonic.exe ownership.. Probably obvious knowledge, but I like the idea of Green Mountain being basically a loop, where the deterioration of the world is the game's version of the world ending until it's booted up again (as well as the no-face Sonics) Also that when you beat no-face sonic and they try to escape, they seem to be banging on the side of the screen with their fist. Pretty interesting.. I kinda agree with you on Childhood.cue's sprite animations but I don't think they're horrible and would love to see a sprite animation video in that style, honestly Not every Sonic.exe fangame has to be a stadium rave lmao And poor Tails Ngl I'm still baffled that Sally.exe was just a rip of another sonic creepypasta, but ig I should've known from how different it was compared to Sonic.exe. This does leave the question of the og sonic creepypasta that Sally.exe took and why it was made, but who knows? Oh well, that's enough yapping lol, great vid as always, congrats on surviving another run-through with the spooky blue guinea pig.

[@K3N0PSIA]

iirc the entire revie stuff was confirmed to be a BIG nothingburger awhile back. same w/ most of the people behind it being outed as actual pieces of shit. its kinda hard to explain as i can't remember right (nor do i want to stick my arm into the fnf .exe toxic wasteland) but theres videos out there that explain it better then i can lol

[@isolated_illust]

​@@K3N0PSIA Yeah, that's understandable, but thanks for your recap tho

[@EripmavsDYraid]

Aight, here me out here: A Sonic.EXE game, but instead of him wanting to kill you and be a deity, he's actually pretty chill. All of the violence and murder and bloodshed got too boring for X, so instead, he just decides to chat with the player (and occasionally, his victims). I can imagine it playing like a date sim, but without the date part. More just a slice-of-life Sonic.EXE game.

[@furrychicken448]

Oh boy, I LOVE listening to my favorite laugh from FF6!

[@gamerduck329]

yes, there are tons of sonic exe games, and most of them are actually scary and interesting (the last game i remember is sonic.exe nightmare beginning) oh and also in sonic 2011 every character has changed names, knuckles is dave and eggman is paul, no idea why (im terrified of sonic.png)

[@lotion5238]

4:27 I actually can't decide whether or not gore or the quick neck snap is more effective. The neck snap is a serious "HOLY SHIT" moment compared to the drawn out and gorey silly kill animations. He just kills him, no fuss.

[@SmokeTheHorsehog]

Let me bring you up to speed on the Sonic.exe owner situation. Astra no longer owns the chaarcter; only JoeDoughBoi and Revie own the official Sonic.exe series, now. Astra got understandably tired of the drama-filled rat race full of false accusations -- both Revie and JoeDoughBoi have been falsely accused of heinous shit in the past, and it was pretty bad for poor Revie -- and legitimately heinous individuals on the level of J.C. himself... So she just left Twitter altogether, scrapped her plans for Xenophanes, and handed over the rights. And also, while Revie and JoeDoughBoi got the rights to Sonic.exe -- 2011 X is both of their takes on the character, while Lord X is exclusively Joe's take, and EXE and 2017 X are exclusively Revie's takes -- Astra seems to have originally gotten the rights handed over to her because she was a fan, if not a friend of J.C. and his girlfriend, until she found out about J.C.'s problematic history. I found evidence supporting that in J.C.'s DeviantArt gallery, prior to him losing those rights.

[@Lonk2976]

My favorite EXE remake (if you can even call it that given how far it deviates from the original story) is Sonic.EXE Spirits of Hell, and it's sequel, Whisper of Soul. Both it and Nightmare Beginning are oldies, but goodies. They take such a new and fresh approach to the Sonic horror genre by, get this, having endings where the characters can actually survive. Yeah, these games actually have good endings, and they both completely redesign the character of Sonic.EXE. I like Spirits of Hell more than Nightmare Beginning, but honestly, both games are good. While they lack the stunning visuals of the more modern remakes, they definitely keep that sense of horror, especially Spirits of Hell. Having EXE games where the characters can actually fight back is just such a nice change of pace from the, while still good and capable of being expanded upon, undeniably formulaic gameplay of most EXE games that is "walk/explore until you die"

[@joshuam-vn9rd]

It's kinda funny how people were fighting over rights to Sonic.exe when he's literally a copy of a copy. A copy of another creepypasta which is a copy of Sonic The Hedgehog

[@Plotoe]

7:15 I think it’s a reference to a sonic.exe analog horror called needlemouse

[@MJ-yt5pl]

No it’s not it actually originated from lord X’s pc port game and to get a little deep into the lore, lord X chose 3 humans as his victims and the original names were, Alan, /which is tails/ Dave, /Which is knuckles./ and Paul. /which is dr eggman/ and whoever plays the game gets to watch them suffer and with every time that happens, lord x gets to play more, and if he has no more souls to play with /or if you are the last person to play with him,/ he turns into the Godfather of the exes and it is shown in a find mod showing a picture of him in the Godfather form, but aside from that, I hope I patched things up for that.
