Big Bad Duumvirate: X and Eggman in An Ordinary Sonic 1 ROM Hack.Big Bad: X is the demon taking the form of Sonic that, in-game, kills Sonic and his friends, and outside the game kills people in the real world.Outside the game, X has claimed many victims thanks to Shannon Goldman and the Cult of X distributing the game, and will go after anyone else next. In Derek's playthrough, he's killed Shadow and Sally, though Derek refuses to finish the game as Rouge. The Bad Guy Wins: In-game, X succeeds in killing Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman in Tom's playthrough.Psychotic, sadistic, and totally devoid of human compassion. Apocalyptic Log: The letter written by Kyle that comes with the package, as well as Derek's diary.And I Must Scream: According to the backstory for the titular character, this is the fate of all Sonic.exe's victims due to him simply taking their souls and placing them in bodies that look like Sonic the Hedgehog characters just so that he could "make them his slaves", as well as killing their "bodies" in gruesome manners.Once you enter the goal area in the normal world or defeat Eggman in the third act, the game won't switch to the Dark World in order to prevent a Kaizo Trap from occuring.There are also more monitors in general in the hack compared to the original Sonic 1, including in the fights with Eggman, because the author said that the game would've been Unwinnable by Design otherwise, but he also stated that the additional amount that was put in wouldn't end up making the hack "too easy". The reason for this is so that Sonic will always have a way to temporarily return his world to normal and prevent Sonic.exe from killing him. An Ordinary Sonic 1 ROM Hack allows monitors to respawn.All There in the Manual: At one point, the author to the original Creepypasta revealed X's official Backstory which, amongst other things, explains his nature, his personality, why he resembles Sonic in the first place, how he's able to steal his victims' souls, and what he actually does to his victims.A God Am I: One of the messages that X leaves on the screen is "I AM GOD".If you wish to look at the tropes of the Sonic.exe remake, click here.
