I DON'T CONSIDER MY CREEPYPASTA GOOD

stan's words.

a website that was called as kolt's store, sold the Sonic cartridge together with the Sega Genesis console for only 6 dollars.

After giving my credit card information, the purchase was successful. The order would arrive in a few days.

weeks later, upon arriving home, I had accidentally stepped on something that was very hard, and when I looked down at my feet, there was the cartridge, next to the console.

the strange cover of the cartridge was no longer the blue hedgehog, but a few words written, dark cartridge,

once the console was plugged in, the game started up.

It brought back a lot of memories to see Sonic again on my old TV waving his finger, and that motivated me to play it.

Green Hill Act 1.

I managed to collect more than 50 rings, and there was the giant ring.

I appeared in the first special stage, and I had run into a strange icon of Sonic, that, when I jumped on it, I automatically gained an extra life. I assumed it was a modification made

by the creators of the kolt store, but something could mean this, there will be more new stuff the further I advance... I had no idea whether to keep playing, or ask for a refund of this modified cartridge, because this was not what I was looking for.

Green Hill Act 2.

the intelligence of the badniks, was a bit easier than they were originally, you could say they were slower, and they were stupid to want to do me some damage with their attacks.

The little animals that ran away from the badniks' bodies rarely came out corrupted.

I found rare rings located at the top of the screen, which were impossible to reach if I wanted to get them legally. I don't know what to think about it.

when entering the special stage, there were only several words that formed a sentence. i like to see people die.

Green Hill Act 3.

Those long 3 minutes passed, and i decided to find one last monitor and go to the boss area. i found a monitor that was half hidden among the giant palm trees. i jumped on the monitor and to my surprise,

When I destroyed it, my television screen was instantly absorbed by a dark background. 5 seconds passed, and a dialogue appears.

If your curiosity is too great, let yourself go, you've already freed me, just go on with your game, there's nothing you can do.

The dialogue faded away along with the black background behind. Sonic was in his waiting sprait.

And so I quickly went to the boss area to finish this level once and for all. The battle was totally easy, and there was nothing to get in my way while I was fighting.

Before the next zone appeared on the screen, I thought about sending this first part to the employees of the kolt site. i thought twice and sent it with a message i had written.

If you are going to sell modified products to your customers, write it in the title or at least in the description, don't be stupid, you have to realize about it yourselves, or at least check that all

is correct before selling it.

HAPPY HILL

sending that, I grabbed my controller again to see on the screen the introduction of a level, happy hill.

I was surprised to see a new level, but I preferred the game to take me to this.

the act 1

In the background it was all about boring colors, with the ground belonging to that of green hill, but its green color had been changed to a light blue color. the platforms were not an obstacle, but it was noticeable how it was made in very vague ways.

were not an obstacle, but you could tell it was done in a very vague way. as he crossed the finish line, Sonic started to go to the right, and slowly the camera went to where Sonic was looking,

and it was a Sonic impersonator, with a gray bag, crying in a corner. i went to him, and i wanted to greet him in a good way. the game gave me a message.

Do you want to help me get out of here? i gave it to him like this, and he turned to look at Sonic. He thanked me, and flew off to the left, waving goodbye to me.

Act 2 of happy hill was different from act 1, because now the background was just simple mountains, similar to the ones in marble zone, as well as the ground.

There was nothing interesting, so I skipped to act 3.

I didn't like the name of act 3, which was called by. carries a bag like everyone else here.

it was at that point, that I had figured out where this was all going.

The mountains were consumed by a black background, as was everything around the level, only the flat ground was noticeable, so I had no choice but to just run.

I stopped to see that Sonic with a bag in the corner, but he was staring at Sonic, and he gave me a message. come closer, Sonic. automatically, my character started to approach slowly towards him. when they were both close.

When they were both close, he shook Sonic's hand, and together they gave each other a hug. it was so adorable to see that, but everything was interrupted in the blink of an eye.

out of his bag, a flash of his eyes came out. Sonic started to get scared as I was hugging him, and there was a tremor as he flashed the phrases. do you want a bag just like me?

I soon discovered that he had mocked my innocence and managed to trick me into being his “friend”. i jumped up, and went towards the road without wasting a second. i got as far away from him as i could, but he appeared towards me slowly.

i got as far away from him as i could, but he appeared towards me slowly. what got my adrenaline pumping was that he changed direction, and appeared on the right, waiting for me to get close to him.

he was able to control the player character, which annoyed me, because it made sonic move closer towards him, but he managed to beat me.

when they were very close, he blurted out these words.

i promise you we're both going to have fun.

after reading that, my phone alerted me to an email for me. it was the kolt employees.

you have weird stuff in your purchases, go here to report it and demand a refund.

it was a link to google maps, which was weird.

after finishing the level, i was shocked by what i had just seen, and all the screenshots i had taken during my walkthrough, i posted them to kolt's forum, but after that i didn't care anymore.

I didn't care to play where this was taking me, so I decided to leave it here.

I unplugged my console, and went with my car to the address where the kolt employees had told me to ask for a refund.

It was a small house made of bricks.

Stan proceeds to say the following. ok, i will ask for my refund here, i hope my dollars will come back to me.

-Isaac's words.

I searched for reliable sites, but it seemed that none of them were cheap. On Amazon I found a special offer for only 6 dollars, which included the console along with the Sonic cartridge.

When I bought it, the order would arrive tomorrow night.

When the order arrived I was surprised that the cover had nothing to do with Sonic. The name had a dark cartridge.

Still, I wanted to play it for a simple reason. If it really was about Sonic.

When I connected it to my TV

I appeared in the marble zone.

Everything was normal as I thought during the first 2 acts, but the strange thing began in the special stage

A modified level, but I didn't expect to find objects, much less a mini boss. In context, I was wandering around the area to find

the chaos emerald, but a boss in the middle of the road was covering the emerald. At that moment the camera stopped moving in a random direction

because thanks to that I was able to easily beat it. His abilities weren't that great, rather, they were recycled from the Spring Yard Zone boss. Upon defeating him, Eggman had gone to the top of the screen

and I managed to get the chaos emerald. Apparently someone else had already played this cartridge, as there were 2 emeralds on the screen.

After finishing Marble Zone, I took all the interesting screenshots.

Spring Yard Zone Act 1.

I just found out that there are now several glitched sprites in random places in the level.

Normally, they would appear in the middle of the path you were crossing,

and make it impossible to continue advancing along it. This became a pain if the glitches reached paths where the goal was, and if we add to this that there is no other path, there is no other way to overcome the act, and the only way out would be to die. Well, that happened to me, and because of that, I now have 1 life. The few rings I collected were 50, so I carefully went to the goal to access the special stage. I prayed to God that those glitches wouldn't come back, and miraculously they didn't.

But there were several words above that said. Do not touch. Why?

I took a chance, and lo and behold. The damn game sent me back to the beginning of Act 1, and of course I got mad. I know, I was warned not to cross the finish line, but I wasn't warned that I would be back to the beginning of the level.

When I had gone through the 3 spring yard acts, the same thing happened.

If it's not there, then where is it? I thought it was hidden among the surfaces of the level, and it was. I found a hole that took me to an area that didn't exist.

I was carrying a bag like the others.

The background was some mountains belonging to Marble Zone, contaminated by the black color. I had never seen a level like this in Sonic, and I took a screenshot.

As the minutes passed, a loud sound began to emit from the left speaker, and what I saw was something that left me in shock.

It was too fast, and you could tell more than Sonic himself. The background started showing me various words that were saying to me. You are doomed before me.

The bag character got angry seeing that chasing me wasn't working for him, so he stood still on the flat path. I celebrated, but the being changed direction to the right, and managed to attack me from behind.

His hand went through Sonic's body, and I couldn't believe it. It was the first time I had encountered something like that in a children's game, and I felt good that I had tried the game first before giving it to my brother.

The bag being started laughing at me, as the game over screen appeared.

I turned off the console, to put it aside.

It was more than clear that I was going to report this to Amazon to have them remove the kind of horrible game I had posted.

I reported it as a fraudulent product, and a few hours later, they had already removed it from the store.

I took the console and the cartridge to a friend's house to tell him about my experience. He thought it was all a joke, but still, I wanted to dig deeper into the game.

He grabbed the cartridge to turn on his TV and said to me.

Let's see, if everything you say is real, prove it to me here.

I said. Well, he'll make us a cartridge anyway, haha.

We both got ready to play, but apparently my progress had been saved, and I was starting at Spring Yard Zone Act 2. I collected over 150 rings, which was enough to access the next special stage. When I remembered the little secrets contained in many monitors and shield rings, I went there, but what I found were not monitors, but motionless little animals. I came out of there with over 200 rings, not forgetting to access the special. I never remembered anything like that.

A maze, in a special? Despite how weird and stupid it was the cartridge at the time, I had fun looking for the emerald in a maze, although it was not easy at all, as there were long alleys that confused you if you were really taking the right path, and led you back to the beginning.

After a long time of being lost, I succeeded, I found the fourth emerald.

The title of Act 3, surprisingly, had a proper name, it was called Find Me.

When that happened, someone had knocked on the door of my friend's house. He went to open it while I was playing the strange level again.

I ran and ran in search of the goal, but they only led me to dead ends. And now what am I going to do? Apparently I had to find someone, as the name of the area itself told me. I wandered around the flat and empty paths of the place, thinking that I would not find anything, or so I thought at the time. Behind me, the same being from the bag appeared.

I called my friend to come check this out, but he didn't answer. I had paused the game, to see where he was, but I saw him there, in the entrance of his house, beaten and thrown to the ground.

I yelled at him several times, but behind me, several guys with masks came out and started hitting me many times repeating. Why did you make the damn report.

They beat me, until they threw me to the ground and started kicking me. When it was finally over, I saw how those guys stole my console and cartridge.

I thought it was all over there, and I had said the following.

It's a good thing those guys didn't kill me. Soon I started smelling smoke. Then I started seeing fire around the house.

Damn.

Kevin's words.

When the order came I did everything I could to make the game convertible to a binary file and luckily everything went perfectly.

I looked at the external files and managed to see a strange grey Sonic with a bag over his head. I deleted the character from the game but noticed that when I tried to save the hack rom, it gave me an error.

It seems that the game doesn't work without the character.

Anyway, I set out to play the cartridge.

It started at Labyrinth Zone act 1. Apparently someone else had played this but I just had to play the hardest level in the game.

A large hole that was flooded with water was the only way to keep going. I didn't know what went down there, I found several basic traps of the game but it wasn't something that would make me lose rings. At one point, there were 2 options to choose from. the left or right direction. I didn't know which to choose and which could be the right path, and without thinking about it, I went in the right direction. There were no things that surprised me, but when the drowning countdown started, I hadn't even seen any air bubbles at that instant. However, my character had drowned after 5 seconds. Being a little irritated, I went back down to go to the left direction, and luckily, this was the right path.

Labyrinth Act 2. I called this area, the creatures of the colored masks.

I was surprised that the structures of the level had changed to a light blue color.

Labyrinth Act 3. The colors of the labyrinth area had changed to a reddish color. There were no platforms or enemies, until, for a few seconds, the game told me the following. Find the lost animals.

After wandering around several places, I found 5 of the lost animals, and they followed me in a row behind me. It wasn't as difficult as I expected, as they were in corners of dead ends.

When I had collected more than 10 animals, I thought there was nothing more to look for, so I went to find the exit of this level. It seemed like everything was going in the right direction, I was wrong.

I ran into a creature carrying that bag, which was preventing me from moving towards the goal. I wanted to confront it, but I didn't have enough strength to defeat it, and after walking little by little towards it, it quickly let out a big smile, and, within seconds, the screen went dark. I could only see the letters and score rings, and hear Sonic jumping, or moving, but I felt confused, and thought it was all over there. After 15 seconds, the screen had focused back on Sonic, and I wanted to see what was around me and I only saw the corpses of the animals I had collected during my journey, on the ground, but I didn't know how to react at that moment. The corpses didn't seem to have been killed, as they didn't have any scratches anywhere on their body, but what had happened during such a few seconds? It's something I was wondering at that moment. Until again, the same words appeared.

Thank you for the souls, now you'll be next. Call me slow, but since then I realized what happened to the little animals. I did what anyone would do in moments like this, and ran to the right. Back there, he was slowly walking towards me. The bag had changed to a happy expression, while I was in an expression of fear, but also anger.

The journey had ended in a large pool of water, and everything seemed lost. He was slowly getting closer little by little, and I decided to jump on him.

As I did, he teleported behind me, but I managed to give him another jump that made me push him into the water.

I got out of there as fast as I could. I found the goal, and finally, Labyrinth Zone had been finished.

The next area, that's what it was called. Carry a bag like the others. The dark mountains, with the flat path, led me up, or down.

I went down first, but I had heard that it was flooded by water, so I headed up instead and luckily, I found the goal of the level.

I hadn't been confident that this was going to be very easy, and as soon as I thought, the goal had been destroyed into 2 pieces.

The same creature had appeared on the right walking towards me, I ran to give it a jump on its head, but before Sonic crashed into it, it quickly teleported behind me, and instantly took my life.

It started laughing in my face, while holding Sonic's neck. It told me the following.

Another new soul, I'm happy.

When the game over screen disappeared, the game had frozen.

I hit the console, but as I saw that it didn't give any result, I decided to restart the game, but every time which I did, the console didn't recognize the cartridge.

I was more than angry, and I started to take it out on the kolt employees with negative comments, so that they would give me a refund for this nonsense.

after a few minutes, they responded with the following.

we will refund you the money, tomorrow morning.

the next morning, someone started knocking on my door. oh, I think it's the kolt employees, I'll go check.

words from alex.

i bought games like, mega bomberman, vectorman, streets of rage, ristar, and sonic.

when i got the order, they left me a box, with their classic covers, but the one that caught my attention the most, was that there was no sonic cartridge, and it only had the name dark cartridge.

first i had put things aside a bit, and when i connected the console and the dark cartridge, i realized it was sonic 1.

it had started in, star light zone act 1.

wasn't it supposed to start in green hill?.

just by looking at this, i knew it was modified, but i wouldn't give up, so i just followed where it all ended.

when i heard the calm song of star light zone,

i wanted to see how this all ended, or was it just the same scene we all knew from the end. after thinking about it twice, i decided. i restarted the game, to access the level selection screen.

After watching a tutorial on how to open it, I was surprised to find that all the areas and acts had the same words, kill yourself. When I restarted my console twice, the game had frozen, with Sonic in the giant ring in the center.

I hit it several times to get the console to react, but there was nothing I could do at that point. I felt disappointed and a little irritated at the same time, because I would never know the end of the game. I unplugged my console, and the Dark Cartridge, I had thrown it in the trash, so that I would never touch something like that again. I posted all the screenshots to the forum.

I tried to look for more messages about this strange Dark Cartridge event, but there was nothing.

After doing all that, I went to bed.

I heard several sounds coming from my patio, but when the back door was heard opening, I went with a broom, the only defense that could perhaps save me from murder.

There was nothing but my living room. I went outside, the weather was very cold at 2am, so I had everything equipped to find out who did this. I went around my entire house. Nothing.

I went back to go to bed again, but I had a feeling that I was still feeling watched. The next day, after waking up, the responses to my message were many, so I just decided to read some with eye-catching names.

The first response was from a user named fred.

Hi. I would like to discuss this topic here, but due to the rules, I can't do it.

This is my email.

I sent an email to the user fred, and in a few minutes he responded with the following.

Okay, first I want you to understand, if you continue with the course of publishing all your anecdotes to the forum, you will only manage to attract the attention of the moderators, and they will give you a sanction for it, or perhaps something worse, as happened

to the user stan 43. I will give you a summary of what the hell happened to him. In mid-2006, a user shared some screenshots of a Sonic game, very identical to the

game you have in your hands. You see, when he did that, weeks later, he was inactive, as were the users who had found out about it. Some have the theory that they simply stopped talking there, but perhaps the most

sounded one among the users of the kolt store, was that they had all died on the same day, because when we had seen their profiles, their last connection to the server was the same, or it could be a coincidence, I don't know.

Nobody knows who or who killed the users, but until now, that has no real answer, and years later, nothing. Anyway, that's all.

It's just a warning of what that cartridge is capable of, but you decide.

When I read that, I had suspicions that the kolt employees are the culprits of this horrible case. Why was it necessary to kill them? I couldn't just delete their profiles, or give them a permanent ban?

I didn't even have time to answer my questions, and I went to work. When I was driving back to my house in the cold night, my car lights shone on someone, who I assumed was the same guy who was at my house the night before.

I ran towards him, but luckily, he didn't take anything of mine. I had left my car keys inside because I wanted to catch that guy, and when I thought he was gone, I found him, along with several others, wearing several

white masks, with a neutral expression, and they drove off together with my car. I was furious and worried, but I wouldn't let this go as if nothing had happened.

I went inside to confirm that nothing had moved from its place, and to my surprise, the television was on, with the cartridge in the console, again.

I didn't have time for games, so I unplugged it, and in the cold, I went to the police station to report this case. Nobody believed me when I named the case that happened at Kolt's store, but I didn't care much.

All night long, fear was with me, but I couldn't take it anymore. I went to my friend Tom's house to spend the night there.

I told him everything, and when he heard my story, he thought it was a joke, but when I grabbed my laptop and showed the screenshots and videos. he didn't know what to say.

Tom says. Oh well, maybe a stupid cartridge can do amazing things that even we wouldn't have known it was capable of if it weren't for kolt users. But could you help me investigate all this?

We both looked at each other for a while, but in my head, I knew I didn't want to put my best friend at risk, in something he had nothing to do with. At first I said no, but he asked me several times, until I told him.

Well, but I'll just tell you to watch while I play, without saying anything. He said okay. We both fell asleep for the next day. It was the only time I had slept well during that night.

I said goodbye to my friend Tom, but I remembered that I didn't have my car. Damn. I asked Tom to drive us both to work. As a good friend, he said yes.

We passed by my house, and when I went to the window to see him again, there was no one, and not even a policeman around the area. I thought that was strange, but I would answer my questions later.

After finishing work, I went home, alone, and when I arrived, I went to the same police station where he had contacted me for the first time.

It was closed, which was strange, because it was always open 24 hours, but why now? There was no choice but to just go back to my house, because I couldn't stay in the house for a long time.

The console, as well as the cartridge, were nowhere to be found, which made me feel good. I slept for a while, until I could smell smoke? Smoke? What the hell was going on? From the top floor, the first floor was on fire.

I grabbed a bucket that was in my bathroom, and threw water in it, but nothing happened. I called the fire department as quickly as I could, but it would take about 20 minutes for them to arrive. The fire was engulfing my house, and from my window,

I saw him again. He was wearing the same mask, covering himself with a black blanket, but he was very tall. He did nothing but just look at my House on fire.

I wanted to kill him. I jumped into my yard, because the fire had invaded the 2nd floor, and I escaped from there, but. I forgot my laptop. God, the evidence, the information, and everything related to Dark Cartridge was gone.

Apparently his plan had worked. He didn't just want to set my house on fire, but also the evidence, so that no one else would know my story. I knew he was part of all this, I made myself run, but from his blanket

the same console and cartridge fell. That was a distraction, and he managed to escape from me. I screamed at him, but nothing. I only saw downstairs, that cartridge, which made my life worse completely.

I wanted all this to end, but at that moment the firefighters arrived to help me. When my house was in ruins, I went to rent a temporary house, and I notified Tom of this.

He was in shock, and had gone to my house, to motivate me and make me have a good time with him. We both had fun that day.

Tom went to his home, and I was the only one left.

I heard the footsteps outside again. I was not stupid, so I hid behind the kitchen door. I saw him, and he did it again. He took the cartridge out of his blanket, next to that console, but before he left, I ran towards him, and jumped on that strange guy.

I hit him and said to him. Why are you doing this? When his mask started to crack, he defended himself by hitting me in the leg several times, and he ran off into the woods.

I took a knife to defend myself, and I went towards him. When I focused on the woods, I shined the flashlight, and I found a house made of bricks.

I ventured out only to find corpses surrounded by flies. I was disgusted, and let's not even talk about the horrible smell. The corpses were with various papers, but among them, it was the strangest of all of them.

stan 43. i called the police when i saw this, but from the shadows, that same strange mask guy appeared. he managed to grab me from behind, but what he did to me was terrible.

he stabbed me in the shoulder, and with the little strength i had, i pushed him away. he ran away as far as he could when he managed to hear the police siren getting closer and closer.

i had woken up in a hospital, and had the wound bandaged. The days passed, and when i returned home, on my television screen, a paper appeared with the following written on it.

you won't get out of this. i sat on the couch, to think about everything. the corpses were the same users of that email that fred had told me about? everything seemed strange.

i went to a library where there were computers, and when i had access to one, i went to kolt's store.

on the forums, the first one was perhaps the saddest of all. fred has died. there wasn't much information about all that, but i felt sorry for it.

I got home and decided to play that cartridge again.

When the cartridge was turned on, the screen was no longer frozen like before! I felt tired of having to go back to my progress, since I had to go through almost the entire game to get to Star Light Zone.

I don't know how it happened, but miraculously that hadn't happened. I appeared in a kind of marble zone, but the color palette had been changed to a blue color, like the same thing that happened with Labyrinth Zone, but it wasn't something that surprised me.

appears at the beginning of the blue marble zone. I wanted to see if anything had changed, but nothing seemed to have moved from its place, or so I thought. As I wandered around the places, I came across a being very identical to Sonic.

His arms were absent, and his size, along with his color palette, were altered. Many of these, most of them were in corners of the area, but they were harmless, and if I tried to jump on them, Sonic would go through them as if they were part of the background.

I didn't find it worrying, but it was strange to see them, because I was staring at my character. When I walked along a flat path, I came across those same strange Sonics in the corners.

They didn't have any walking or jumping sprite, because they always had the immobility sprite. When I dared to turn around, these ones in a row, went to the left to avoid being killed. I went behind them, but at that moment they were out of the player's visibility.

I didn't want to think about it any more, so I continued on my way. I don't know how it happened, but they started following me again, right behind Sonic, and little by little, they got closer to me. I jumped to get more speed, but it was in vain, because it didn't matter. If you somehow went faster than normal, they would be right behind you, like a stalker. I found the end of the road, and everything seemed lost. Without thinking, I jumped down, and luckily, I found solid ground, and a little while later, I found the goal of the level, and the strange level of altered colors finally ended. When the results screen disappeared, the level had not faded out to load the next area. Some letters appeared that had told me again

kill yourself

The phrase was repeated over and over again, until everything was completely white. The television illuminated my house in the darkness that there was at that moment, but as quickly as the seconds passed, that blank screen. It quickly changed to various colors, which flashed every millisecond, but when I saw that, I quickly left there and quickly went to the bathroom. I passed all my evidence to the forum, but I noticed that my old forum messages had been deleted by an administrator, and in the reply box, I found the following message. You leaked part of the content of our game; now the consequences will fall on you. What consequences? I had quite a few questions at that moment, and each one did not have a concrete answer.

Supposedly, I don't know how I could feel at that moment. I felt really scared. How many victims have been part of cases like this?

I don't know how I could feel at that moment. I was really scared.

The next area to load was Star Light Zone.

The path was flat, and I found several ring monitors, and it was then that I realized that the game wanted to take me to a special stage, because there were 5 ring monitors.

It wasn't something I wanted to miss, so I barely destroyed the 5 monitors, and out of nowhere the giant ring appeared floating in the corner of the path.

Being in the special stage, at the top of the screen it indicated time limit, which was 2 minutes, and I hadn't wasted a second when I was just entering the special stage in search of the chaos emerald.

If you thought I was alone there, well you are seriously wrong. That same being with the bag on its head appeared behind me, and it floated slowly towards me. Shit, at that moment I was really panicking, because if I

died somehow, it wouldn't be good, and much worse would be being killed by that creature. The camera that moved the special stage was against me during the entire special stage, and a black background with a dialogue warned me of this.

I control my universe. I soon understood that he himself was the one who altered the game's camera so that I would be killed against him. I tried several times not to fall into his trap, but little by little, time was running out, and he was close to me.

In a moment that I never understood, the chaos emerald was there, floating next to a Sonic icon, which was an extra life. I jumped towards him, but the being in the bag had let out a loud scream before the results screen appeared. His message left me very scared.

Not even your friend will be able to save you.

His anger at not having managed to kill me was noticeable, but I was happy not to be killed by him, and I said to the screen. Do you think you will kill me? Not even with your tricks could you do anything to me, loser.

I didn't have to say that. From the results screen, the letters had formed a dialogue that told me the following. We'll see.

As for Acts 2 and 3,

there's nothing to say about it; it may have been the only act that wasn't completely modified in the game.

I let out a big sigh to emerge victorious once again in the Dark Mountains level.

The level was called, You Can't Escape, without any act.

When the level started, the goal was in Sonic's view, but he was blocked by a platform that blocked the way, and he clearly had to find the switch so that the platform would give way and end the level.

A question monitor appeared in the path before I encountered the being in the bag. Do you want a life?

I hit yes, but there was a flicker, and the button I had chosen had changed to no. When that happened, a text bubble appeared above the monitor. If you want that, leave it, good luck with it.

When the text bubble disappeared, the screen went black, and with letters that told me the following

I won't let you advance so easily, this is as far as you go.

There was a big tremor after that disappeared, and I quickly ran in search of the switch without wasting a second.

Behind me he appeared walking slowly towards me, but he himself took advantage of the power he had in his hands, and teleported to the left. I jumped off my couch when that happened, and quickly went to the right.

I had found a hiding place that was inside the walls, and when I crouched down to see what happened below, I only saw him, walking slowly to the right. At one point, he told me the following.

I know where you are. When I read that, I got out of there, and took advantage of the fact that it was nowhere to be found on the road. After several minutes, I found it. I had just found the switch, and when I pressed it, a platform was heard opening in the background.

Everything seemed won, but going back now would be the problem, since I didn't even know the paths I had taken. I carefully went back, but the same creature appeared behind me again. I didn't dare jump on it, because I knew I wouldn't defeat it, much less do any damage.

Paths that were previously flat, now became platforms with gaps that you might never get out of.

I was like that for about 3 minutes, and after holding down the left button for so long. I found the beginning of the level, and at one point, the being in the bag tried to jump to avoid touching the goal, but it was useless.

Once again, another level passed.

Scrap Brain Zone Act 1.

Here we are, the area where the traps will be a double-edged sword, and you won't get out of here without losing some lives or rings.

I lost several lives in this level, and I only have 1 life left. I went carefully, but the traps were much more than I thought.

The game over screen appears. After the screen faded, I still had my continues that I had collected in the special stages. I was excited, and I hit start before the seconds indicator reached 9.

Suddenly, a notification from the Kolt employees came to my phone. It said the following.

Do you have problems with your order? Go to the following link to receive your refund.

The link belonged to Google Maps, and the area was far from the city, so it seemed strange to me.

Once again, being at the beginning of Scrap Brain, I found, surprisingly, water in Scrap Brain, and that was the only way to advance.

When I went down, I found several Badniks that I had seen before, and others that were new, a Badnik shark with the ability to throw projectiles at the player, and on several occasions, I managed to see it devour other Badniks, which must have been the reason why there were not so many Badniks.

I was wandering for more than 20 seconds underwater, and the drowning countdown had not even appeared. When I returned to land, I was greatly surprised to find that Eggman's presence was near me, and before I could do anything, he took a control out of his hands, so that I could then press the only button there was, and the ground had been destroyed.

I loaded the next area, and it was Scrap Brain Zone Act 2.

I appeared in the Scrap Brain Labyrinth Act 3, but something wasn't right. The bottom was with those same dark mountains, and nothing was the same as I thought. The only way out of here was to jump into the water, and when I fell, I reached the bottom of the level, but nothing happened.

I won't be fooled by you again, I know you'll appear, I had said to the television. Seconds and minutes passed, and nothing happened, but I didn't expect what I would find. Eggman? What the hell was he doing here? When he saw my presence, he fired several projectiles at me, the only way to kill me. It was useless for him to do that, so he decided to make his next attack. He called several piranha enemies, and they managed to take 5 rings from me, but it wasn't something I was worried about. Seconds passed, but it seemed I hadn't taken any damage from him. When Eggman didn't know what else to do, he ran away with his ship to the right to avoid being defeated in the stupidest way, but I wouldn't let him go without seeing his ship explode as it always did.

When I was close to him and held the jump button, something destroyed his ship, but it wasn't me. Behind him, the same being from the bag appeared, floating in the water, and had killed Eggman. He let out some words that were directed at Eggman. Useless, you're useless, now I'll have to do everything myself.

Eggman had let out a scream when that happened, but I couldn't do anything to save him. I got out of there, but the water that was purple had changed to a red color, which, after minutes, I managed to understand that it was red, since Eggman's blood had spread throughout the water.

Behind me, he appeared. Again, I felt sorry to see Eggman die, since, although

He is the antagonist, he was part of my childhood, and I also had a certain affection for him. When I finished act 2, there was no cutscene, and I only loaded the final act.

Scrap Brain Zone. Act 3.

Again, act 3 was another of the levels that were not modified, and at that time, when I went for the red trampolines that took me to the final zone, and oh god.

it was not the final zone.

the damn game took me, incredibly, to emerald hill zone. when I loaded the soundtrack, it was just pure nostalgia.

Obviously I took a screenshot of this, and when I finished act 1, a message appeared.

Congratulations, a new companion will accompany you on your adventure!

I thought it would be the 2-tailed fox, but it wasn't, if not, it would have been the hedgehog from Sonic 2!

When the results screen was gone, a character selector appeared on the screen.

Here I'll leave a screenshot so you can understand a little more about what this is like.

I chose to go with the Sonic 2 character, just to remember old times.

When I loaded the level, it wasn't Emerald Hill Zone, but Green Hill.

I was confused, but Green Hill Zone had an error loading its content, leaving it a mess.

Sonic's spray was scattered across different parts of his body, but the spindash was usable on it.

Some objects, like spikes, were floating in the air, and the badniks, were from Sonic 2.

When I reached the finish line, I didn't think that Act 2 would be even worse than the previous one. Glitches had taken over part of the area, and I didn't even know where I was going anymore.

I used the spindash to get there as fast as I could, but the game had frozen. After several hits to my console, the game managed to react, and Act 2 had been fortunately finished.

Now I only had Act 3 left. The glitches had formed limbs on several enemies, but what made this reach its limit, was that the badniks, thanks to their glitches, managed to experiment with new abilities.

Despite everything, they managed to get some rings from me, but they didn't manage to get a life from me. When I got to the boss area, it was a mass of accumulated glitches

In a single body. The only thing I managed to rescue was a fire ability that shot out of his hands.

The next area called itself, distorted mind.

This was a nightmare. There were new enemies, such as a human body with missing legs, a wolf head, and hands with claws.

It was easy to defeat them, since just with a spin dash they died. There were times when, when you approached them while sliding, they used their claws to their advantage, and scratched Sonic. The level style had few moments to run, since it was a Super Mario Bros style level, which, running was not something that benefited you as in other areas.

At the end of the platforms, now not only the minibosses could appear in act 3, now you can also find them in act 1.

The appearance was horrible. It had 3 heads, and its neck was surrounded by hands, and its body, were robotic parts, forming a kind of horse body, and if that's all, then it wasn't. With its large tail, it threw projectiles towards the player. For more than anything, the boss was extremely difficult.

Just by getting close to it, it used several of its hands, and you were thrown into the corner of the screen. The most annoying and irritating attack of all, was that it could steal rings from you to swallow them and increase its health. I used the spindash several times to destroy the robotic parts, but when he noticed my tactics, he started kicking me when I got close to his legs, sending me back into the corner.

I tried everything to get some damage out of him, but to no avail. Nothing seemed to work, until I only had one ring left, and I couldn't even get some damage out of the boss.

I tried losing my ring, and with the little invincibility Sonic had from losing rings, I had put myself inside his body, and by hitting him, I got some damage out of him, and I had understood.

When I repeated that for about 8 hits on his tail, and now he couldn't shoot projectiles at me, and when I destroyed the body that was covered by hands, soon the mini boss would notice my technique, and at that time, when he had the invincibility, he quickly changed direction to the left.

Now every time I did my tactic, it would change direction until my invisibility ended, so it was best not to do that again during the fight. I had run out of ideas for anything, until suddenly, an idea came to my mind.

When I had my invisibility, I quickly grabbed my ring, to jump towards the robotic body, and thus I managed to see its other weak point. Perhaps it was the most resistant part of the boss's body, because it resisted up to 16 hits, but when it exploded, only the head remained, and it began to bounce in different directions.

With a single jump, it had exploded, and finally, the first act of the nightmare level had been finished. I wished the level would end there, but as the seconds passed, it loaded act 2.

The first act was disturbing, now I can't imagine the second

distorted mind act 2.

Nothing seemed to be going normal with this. When I first started, I could only hear a really calm, but mysterious melody in the background, and several whispers.

The whole path was flat, until some words formed the following. Do you want to know the truth behind all this? Cross the finish line and you will see the cruel reality.

Obviously my curiosity would not let this go as if nothing happened, and I went towards the finish line.

distorted mind, final act. I appeared in a kind of house, and I saw that my information screen had disappeared, and it was only Sonic, with the house in the background.

the same being from the bag had given me a message. He previously lived here.

When that disappeared, I was teleported to another scene, and from here I will say what the being in the bag had told me.

In that same house, I suffered serious abuse from my mother and father, and that happened for the next 8 years.

It was not the big happy family that everyone thought, their parents formed a group of things that were not good for the human being, ehm.

There were several times that they hit me and mistreated me with a bag, and at one point they tried to suffocate me with it.

During the nights, it was a total hell, I could not sleep, the cold dominated my small room, and I did not even have warm clothes.

It was hard, really, to live my childhood like that. Years later, I decided to escape from there, and work for a group of assassins.

Some time later, I went straight to kill my parents.

I had soon been part of a crime.

When the final paragraph came, I did not know how to react. Did he really deserve all this?

Did you think that was the end of the level? Quite the opposite.

destroy the last monitor that was at the end, the last dialogue was this.

you came, to ruin my universe, you freed my slaves the more you advance the levels, and now, for that, you will be killed by him, somehow.

from that moment, the background began to burn in fire, and I did several spindashs to not be killed, nothing made me prepare for what came next. he found himself running towards me, but it was an incredible speed that not even Sonic had on his feet. I did many spin dashes to avoid being killed, and a giant ring had saved my life.

when distorted mind had finished, in the character selector, the next area to approach was called, chemical plant.

I had decided to go with the first sonic, who from now on I will call him, sonic A.

the first act began, and when I barely saw the introductory screen of the level, there was a freeze, but the background music was still playing.

I thought it would take a while for the content to load, so I started thinking about something that had to do with the distorted mind area.

Why am I to blame for everything? What were the reasons why he was abused by his parents?

After a long time, the chemical plant level had finally loaded part of its content.

I found a floating ring, but its color palette had changed to a gray color. When I entered, this had nothing to do with the special stages.

It was a hallway that contained several monitors with the sign of an eye, and when you destroyed them, the screen became completely white for a few seconds, and teleported you to

hallways with simple platforms. The few rings I found led to large doors that needed a certain amount of rings to advance.

I left there, and again returned to chemical plant act 1. But it didn't take long for me to notice the absence of music, enemies, and rings.

The next area to load was a kind of street, totally abandoned. The melody was simple, there were just some drums that got faster every so often.

There was nothing for 3 minutes, until Sonic started to approach a kind of modern building. When he had entered, a door blocked the exit forward, and the only way to unlock it would be to find the 3 missing keys for each lock on the door. The stairs pointed me to the second floor and that's what I did. On the second floor, I could see that, among the fire, there were several burned bodies,

and the enemies were very creepy when they appeared. When I got to the end of the hallway, I found a key, and when I got it, the game gave me 1500 points for it.

I returned to the exit door, and a lock had been unlocked. I headed to the third floor, to the roof of this building.

The camera stopped focusing on Sonic, to be focused to the left, and see the mini boss that was approaching right now. Eggman?, again?, or was it a fake Eggman?.

He had a flamethrower connected to his ship, but before the battle It will begin, Eggman told me this.

Please free me from this torture, please do it for all of us. What was that he had just told me about? I didn't even say anything about it, and just focused and prepared for the fight to come.

His attacks were to throw fire from a distance in a corner towards Sonic, or to turn around several times with the flamethrower on and head in another direction. The most irritating attack was that he would go to the top of the screen, and then throw fire towards Sonic. When he was done with him, his flamethrower failed in an attempt to throw fire towards Sonic, he exploded, and Eggman's body caught fire. Another message appeared on the screen from him. No, not again please.

Again a message appeared on the screen. You are useless. You will suffer the true punishment, Eggman. I couldn't resist feeling sorry for Eggman, but I picked up the last missing key, and when the last lock was unlocked,

the long level was over.

Being in the character selector, I was still in Aquatic Ruin. I chose to go with Sonic A.

Aquatic Ruin was the most affected by the color scheme, but what struck me the most was that instead of being another aquatic level as the name said, it was contaminated with more lava.

What turned out to be a colorful level with striking colors, turned out to be hell itself. The background looked a bit familiar to me from Angel Island, when everything was set on fire by the first mini boss of Sonic 3. There were several centaurs as enemies,

whose resistance was incredible, they could stay alive for up to 24 jumps, and when they were destroyed, their disguise burned, and it turned out that these were Badniks.

They used the same tactic as the previous mini boss, but they weren't difficult to avoid. From that moment on, I had encountered an invincibility monitor, it was the first time I saw this in levels like this.

Jumping on it, I went as fast as Sonic could, no matter what, while the classic invincibility song played. When the invincibility ended, I found myself on another flat path.

There was a tremor on the screen, and from the ground, a large worm covered in lava came out, and on its head was Eggman, controlling it. I soon discovered that it would be a mini boss.

The mini boss spit some fireballs that spread on the ground, and sank into the lava, to come out through a random side. It was a combination of the Marble and Spring Yard boss, but I liked that boss idea.

When I entered the special stage, I didn't expect the following.

Instead of being in a special stage, I was in a room, but what disturbed me the most was that in parts of the floor and in the background, there were quite a few bodies of Eggman, killed and tortured...

It was really the most disturbing thing in the whole game. The level was accompanied by an extremely strange whistling sound, and I managed to hear several cries of regret at a very low volume, but as I advanced, I managed to hear it louder and louder.

There were no enemies, rings, nothing. I ran, and the background made me more and more uneasy, because they did all kinds of torture to Eggman. Every time I remember them, it gives me

a feeling of insecurity. When I got to the end of the hallway, there was a cinematic, in which it said that Sonic had helped Eggman, to get out of that electric chair that he was about to die from.

I felt very happy when I read the message that was given on the screen. Thank you, Sonic, I am really very grateful, I don't know how I could repay you for this, but somehow I will. I was severely

tortured for a long time. I was forced to fight you, but when I failed and was defeated, I was tortured in this place, and before I was killed, my soul was transferred

to another body of myself, to repeat the process over and over again. Good luck on your journey; have confidence in yourself.

Now I understood everything, now I know the reason why there were so many corpses in the background, and Eggman's words made me feel happy for him, and motivated me to have confidence in myself to finish off the person responsible for all this. The joy lasted a while, because after the message, Eggman said goodbye to Sonic, but before he left the screen, there was a black screen,

but only after 5 seconds, I found Eggman on the ground, bleeding. By art of the game, the bodies began to burn each one, as well as the background, and on the left he appeared again.

The same being from the bag that I was afraid of and furious with throughout the game. He answered me with the following. Now it's just you and me. I realized that it would be another level of chasing. I ran to the right, and again the walking appeared.

When that happened for a while, finally the level I was done, but he wouldn't give up there. I had altered the goal of the level, and now the level became much longer. Platforms appeared suspended in the air, but I passed them without any problem.

There was a moment when the being in the bag opened several portals to hell on the ground, but they were easy to avoid. When he finally gave up, and let me escape, he only looked down, and warned me the following. From here, your only way out will be to die.

I didn't know how I was going to respond to his threat, but it scared and worried me about it.

Casino Night Zone Act 1.

From this point, my head started to hurt, but I had to hold on to get to the end of the level.

The other area was called the Dead Forest Zone.

I had gone with Sonic B. There were leafless trees, but in their branches, hung several simple dead corpses rotting away. There was a screeching, with furious drums heard in the background.

Now that's going too far, really. I just had to watch that, but all these bodies, they started to reincarnate.

and they all started to chase me. Even if I spindash, they would jump towards me, and leave me immobilized for a while. To escape from them, you have to press the jump button many times.

When I reached the end of the level, I had become very stressed, because I still had about 5 levels left. I knew it when the next area was hill top, but oh well, what else is there. I chose sonic B for the area.

oh well. What else is there? another modification to the level. As you can see, the trees were leafless.

there was nothing interesting, in fact, it was just that!

In act 2, the background had been replaced by just a dark background, as it happens in most levels. I was jumping floating platforms in the air, until, for a moment, a badnik fell from the sky.

it became very strange, but then, this would repeat itself constantly. I wouldn't leave my doubt unanswered, so I went to see what was causing that. The platforms took me to a kind of machine, which was driven by another being, to show mecha sonic.

The real battle had begun, but what the hell was he doing here? He used the same techniques from the original game, which felt entertaining at the time. It was the first time I saw an original enemy from sonic 2, that didn't explode as usual.

It simply stopped, and floated upwards, which I speculated was heading towards death egg. I freed the badniks, and they didn't attack me, rather, they thanked me for their daily tortures.

Even though the other badniks had been killed by mecha sonic, they can rest in peace, but I wasn't sure about that. They simply left the player's visibility, and left.

I felt like a hero for doing that, because I had saved many souls that are perhaps trapped in different bodies, like eggman. I soon found the goal, and it turned out to be the end of the road.

The next act, was called by, souls, in its translation, souls.

Upon entering, there were 3 monitors with the letters. k. i. and s.

I destroyed the monitor k, and the act was over, to transport me to a different level, called Kevin.

There were phrases of laments and help at the bottom, with strange fantasy creatures. The path ended with an empty precipice below.

Upon falling, I found the following phrases. Please, I want to get out of here. I have been trying to escape from it for years, but I can't.

I didn't understand anything about who Kevin was in the game, but why is he trapped here? When I found the goal, now it was the turn of the monitor, i.

The level was called by Isaac.

The bottom was now the being in the bag, moving his eyes in a small loop. The path continued vertically, and I found several words that said this.

I regret buying that game. Free me, I want to rest in peace. You are the only hope.

Finally, the monitor s was missing.

The level was called. Stan.

It can't be, it's the same Stan 43. When I went there, Stan's words were.

They haven't returned my money. Why are you doing this? I'm sick of you doing the same thing to all of us. Someday I will find you and make you go through the same thing.

At that moment, I had the crazy idea of ​​talking to the screen, saying. How did you end up there, Stan?

The level had changed brutally, and the floor had exploded. Sonic was falling into the void, until I ended up in a hallway, and the level answered me with the following.

Those fools have killed me and transferred my soul to this game, where I will never be able to rest in peace. I still had doubts, but I left there, since at that moment I began to think how it was possible that the game could answer my question.

The next area was Mystic Cave.

His name was replaced by a simpler one, just called, cave.

He had gone with Sonic A, in order to get an extra life, or at least a decent amount to access the special stages and get an extra continue.

This was perhaps

It was the first level where Sonic couldn't use his speed, and this was because he could only walk, but couldn't even do a small spindash.

The background was affected by letters suspended on different sides that said various phrases. Go away.

A boss battle began, but this time, I was unable to get close to him. A head. That's right. A floating red head.

You think it was just easy to defeat him, right? Nothing was easy during this moment of concentration and seriousness on the matter. When you got close, 2 different things could come out of his mouth.

A very fleshy tentacle, with several heads that would bite anyone who jumped on it. Another main attack: several living bodies would come out that would try to grab the player if they were near his mouth.

So far, those were only his primary attacks, but I had no idea how to defeat him. I used the same tactic I used during the battle with the beast with the body of a robotic horse, but it didn't work.

I jumped on its head, but it just dragged me to the left again. There was no way to defeat it, it seemed like it would all end here, and I only had to test if my last attack worked, and then turn off my sega genesis.

The boss released its tentacle. I jumped towards the small heads surrounding that tentacle, and bingo. The head left a small explosion, and the face changed its expression to one of pain.

I repeated that, until there were no more heads to cover it. I jumped on the tentacle once more, and it disintegrated. This didn't end here, and now I had to defeat phase 2.

The floating head began to vomit the creatures it contained in its mouth, in order to distract the player and take a large hand out of its 2 eyes.

All of its attacks were chilling, but fear couldn't invade me at a time like this. The gray creatures, which the head vomited, had an attitude very similar to that of a zombie.

They were slow, dumb, and their bodies melted when they were killed. I was able to force the boss to change to its 3rd form, and this was definitely the hardest one so far.

From its ears came little demons with whips, which made Sonic slower in doing something, but the most annoying thing about them was that they were on top of Sonic's head, and even if you

jumped, did spindash or something else, these bastards wouldn't stop following you. The boss took advantage of this, and grabbed Sonic, and let the demons do their job.

When they hit Sonic with each of their whips, they took away my rings, and that horrible scene lasted about 20 seconds. When they finished part of their rings, the big hand released Sonic.

But it wouldn't let him go that easily. From its mouth, it again pulled out another tentacle, and managed to catch me. A screech could be heard in the background, which made me turn down the volume on my TV, because it was too loud.

I just watched as Sonic was getting closer to that strange being's mouth, to see how my other friend who accompanied me during my adventure would die here. But it wasn't like that.

An epic entrance made my sadness turn into happiness. It was Eggman. He had a flamethrower, and with that he managed to burn the floating head. He let out screams of pain every time the fire invaded his head more, and his tentacle released me,

and I quickly ran towards Eggman. He told me the following. When I said that I would reward you with something, this is what I was referring to. This was very crazy to see, and at the same time weird, but Eggman and Sonic, from the beginning, one wanted to kill the other, but now

it turned out that they would work together, to finish off the evil villain of this game once and for all.

In the character selector, the Eggman icon appeared with 3 lives left. It was amazing that it was the first time I controlled Eggman in a Sonic game, since in all the games, Eggman always turned out to be the antagonist

of all the games, but here, that was not the case.

I wanted to choose him for the next level, called Oil Ocean.

As it happened with the same character in Sonic B, he had been taken to Green Hill again.

Here we are, where it all began. It was very curious to see Eggman's abilities, but, although they were not many, I liked them. He could do a certain combination of buttons, and form an ability that not even Sonic had!

Like, for example, if you pressed the down button, and at the same time pressed the B button, you jumped to a very high height. If you pressed the A + up button, Eggman would take out of his hands one of his crazy inventions, a kind of jetpack that allowed the player to fly through the air without any limitations.

This was the most useful thing about Eggman, since I did not have to worry about obstacles or platforms that were difficult to complete. green hill was dead.

the green color that was the hills, now they were just a sad gray color. The background was night, there was no water, vegetation, palm trees, rocks, monitors, checkpoints, badniks,

absolutely nothing.

I thought that green hill had finally died, and that I was the only one here. the three acts were like that, which calmed the nerves I had at that moment a little, and put my thoughts in order a little.

when green hill had been finished. not again. a chase level. I used my jetpack to fly, but eggman couldn't use any of his abilities at that moment, because I guess the being

in the bag blocked using special abilities in one of his levels. when he saw eggman, he just stayed floating, and eggman did the same. a conversation started that, honestly, I didn't understand much, but I'll leave you the screenshots of the discussion that took place between the two of them.

I got tired of you, I want to be free, I never wanted to work for you, you yourself forced me!

that's not my fault, it's your fault.

why?

don't you realize? You're a simple useless object.

now I'm just going to finish this once and for all.

I didn't understand what the two were saying, but he just floated, moving quickly towards Eggman, but he was much angrier than before. He appeared floating in different directions,

but they were easy to dodge. When he saw that it wasn't working for him, he used his intelligence to make one of the most deceptive tactics in the entire game.

I saw that there was a goal, and it would finally end this, but it didn't. When I touched him, the goal quickly changed shape, and had become the same being from the bag.

When I saw that, I jumped to dodge his deadly attacks, and kept running. Eggman had a scared expression, while the being had a hateful expression.

I had put several holes in the ground, but it was useless again, and I got out of there without taking any damage. There was no result screen, or any cutscene, just the being looking down, without any expression.

I appeared in the character selector, and the next area was Oil Ocean. I used eggman so I wouldn't have to worry about the platforms, since this level was a pain to beat.

oil ocean was getting dark, and as I said, I used the jetpack a lot, but there were also enemies hovering in the air, and eggman couldn't attack them while floating.

oil ocean zone act 2.

I flew through the air to avoid being killed by them, but if I had gone with sonic, I might have died a few times, since there were so many of them.

After act 2, the next zone hadn't been metropolis, which made me feel relieved, because I hated that zone, simply because it had 3 acts of pure cheats, like scrap brain zone.

it had been sky chase.

I chose to go with sonic A, but when the level started, I was disappointed to see that

tails wasn't there. Instead, Sonic was driving the plane, but it was really fun to use it, since he could shoot some kind of projectiles at the enemies, but everything good has its bad, right? Well,

the plane was too slow, and I had to wait about 10 seconds for the projectiles to charge to 100%, and shoot without caring about anything.

There was a scene where the plane had a failure in its projectiles, and they exploded inside, and then it began to fall downwards. I reacted at the right moment, and arrived at Eggman's fortress, called.

wing fortress. Apparently, sky chase and wing fortress were connected in a single zone, which I thought was cool. It reminded me a bit of the same thing that happened in sonic 3, but it was just a coincidence.

I was walking around the beautiful place, and relaxing for a while listening to his music, but I wondered who would replace Eggman in the big robot, who was in the final battle? I had doubts about it

but Mecha Sonic had interrupted my only relaxing moment. He jumped on Sonic, and managed to take all my rings, when he did that, he fled the scene, but I wouldn't let him escape that easily.

Mecha Sonic had left the screen, and appeared with Eggman's ship, with the wrecking ball, which was the first boss of Sonic 1. It was nothing, and in just 30 seconds I had defeated him.

He ran away again, and then I had faced the boss of Marble Zone. I understood. I had to face all the bosses of the original game, to finish the last zone of the game.

I faced the boss of Spring Yard. Star Light Zone. Emerald Hill. and other levels of sonic 2. when it exploded, he had no choice but to call a fake eggman, so that he would confront me with the boss of scrap brain zone.

it was easy, I hadn't even lost any rings during all this, and when it exploded, the fake eggman ran and ran, until he reached his only exit to escape from me. sonic held on as always, and the scene appeared where

sonic reached death egg. i didn't know how to be at this moment. i had come so far to end up here. i couldn't leave this as if nothing had happened, i had to defeat him.

in the In the character selector, I chose to go with Sonic A, but the death egg surprisingly had acts. I didn't remember any of that, but I didn't care. When the level started, there was a colorless emerald.

When I picked it up, there was a phrase that said the following. Sonic can now transform into Super Sonic. Or God. This had to be a blessing from heaven. How was this possible? The game gifted me

Super Sonic out of nowhere, but I wasn't going to waste it and as quickly as I could, I started looking for rings, and having control of Super Sonic. When I got all 50 rings and did my double jump, it was incredible.

Super Sonic was so fast than anything else, and maybe not even the being in the bag could catch up with me just by walking. When I finished the 2 acts, the definitive moment had arrived.

Death Egg, Act 3.

I wasn't sure if this was the real final area, but this wasn't the time to lose, I could only rely on my reflexes that I learned throughout my adventure.

I went towards the battle against Mecha Sonic. Eggman wasn't in the center like he usually was, but it didn't bother me much, and I focused more on Mecha Sonic.

Honestly, this wasn't a problem, since I had faced him before, and when he exploded, it was time. The fake Eggman ran towards his robot, and when he made his appearance, the boss music from Sonic 1 started to play,

but it was really weird, because the final boss music was supposed to play but I didn't think much about it. I trusted myself, but at this point, I was really nervous, and my hands started to sweat when he launched his first attack.

He started shooting projectiles from his chest, which exploded after a while. After dealing some damage, the fake Eggman started to glitch, but thanks to that, he was able to build new skills.

He managed to shoot out heat rays from his eyes, and you had to escape from them, if you didn't want to die. A fire breath, which he used very few times, but it wasn't that deadly.

When he ran out of skills, the fake Eggman tried his little bombs, but it was useless, because I managed to jump towards him before he used that.

After the explosion, there was no final scene, just the score screen, and I was given 3 lives for it.

That's called a reward. But what the fuck? This isn't over yet.

In the character selector, there was no zone name, the number of lives disappeared, there were only the icons of Sonic A, B, and also Eggman.

I didn't want to know the true last encounter against the being in the bag, but, what I had seen in the chase levels, maybe his attacks could defeat me just by touching me.

And lose everything here. Before I fought him, I gathered my thoughts again.

and thought that I was actually prepared for a level like this? I would face someone who wants me dead, and turn me into

another one of his slaves, but how was it possible for souls to get into the game? It was practically impossible.

and that it wasn't in those weird stories that could somehow harm the player, without any explanation, or something.

In Sonic 1 there was no cheat when you were in normal mode, so I figured that wasn't the answer.

I thought of everything that has to do with cheats, and what made my lightbulb turn on was the key to defeating him. That's right, the GAME GENIE.

I remember that in my teenage years I had bought one of them to have a good time using cheats in my favorite games, and I only remember that I had kept it in my basement after moving to a new neighborhood.

I went to the boxes full of dust, and very excited, I had found it. I went up, and quickly connected it to my sega genesis. When the console recognized it, the Game Genie had loaded.

On a piece of paper I wrote down all the codes needed to finish the last chase, and then I chose sonic B, to finish this.

My blood ran cold when I saw the introduction of the final area, and when I entered, there was only that background of the chases, but then I figured that I couldn't run to the right, because that's where the path ends, just like the left.

Everything went downhill, when the being in the bag appeared. He told me the following. Did you learn that you are to blame here?

YOU ARE AN IDIOT. DID YOU NOT JUST REALIZE THAT THE MORE YOU ADVANCE, THE GAME WILL START GENERATING ALL THE WORLDS?

If only you had stayed until GREEN HILL, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU, BUT YOU PREFERRED TO WASTE YOUR TIME IN MY UNIVERSE AND FREEING SOULS

They did the same as you, and now YOU WILL JUST BE ONE MORE OF THE PILE OF MY ETERNAL SLAVES. THE WINNER WILL LIVE, THE LOSER WILL BE TRAPPED HERE, let fate choose.

Shit. This wasn't a chase level; it was the final battle against the being that tormented me throughout the game. The final boss song from Sonic 1 started playing.

it was thank God I thought this battle didn't depend on the rings, since the game gave me 50 lives, but the being in the bag didn't have a name. He had 100 lives, which all depended on my reflexes.

We got closer to give each other the first attack.

I jumped on his head, and I managed to take a life from him. The being in the bag teleported behind me, but I managed to dodge him by jumping towards his head.

The bag's expression changed to one of anger, and he used his hands to scratch Sonic's chest. That took away 5 lives from me.

I jumped on him many times towards his head, and I managed to take away at least 10 lives from him.

When he saw my tactic, he teleported towards me, and managed to dig his claws into me behind Sonic. His hit was critical, and he took away 15 lives from me.

Sonic had remained motionless for 3 seconds, but that was enough for the being to manage to give me another attack. Several hands came out of his body.

They managed to catch Sonic, and when that happened, he took advantage of this, and threw several needles at Sonic's head, and my life count was reduced to only 10. Damn, this really was impossible, but I had remembered the

game genie. I put in the invincibility code, and stars started to appear around Sonic. The being started to scream, and was unable to take any damage from me. I took about 20 lives from him,

But he made the final blow. His gloves transformed into a large hand, and grabbed Sonic. After 5 seconds, the hand grabbed Sonic tighter and tighter, until it finally crushed him. His gloves were stained by Sonic's blood,

and I was very scared of that. The being changed to a happy expression, and started to laugh. He said the following to me. Do you think you will defeat me?

I didn't lose my hope in defeating him, so this time, I entered with Eggman, and when the fight started, I entered the code for infinite lives, and also for invincibility.

I used that for 2 minutes, and he just did his attacks, but since he saw that nothing was working for him, he disappeared from the screen. I thought that the being had escaped, so I made my character celebrate, jumping around the area.

But behind me, the being transformed its nails into much sharper ones, and cut Eggman into 2. He only had 5 lives left, but when Eggman died, not even the infinite lives effect could save him.

He told me this. Did you think I wouldn't notice that you're using cheats? . This is as far as you go, if you use cheats, then I will do the same too.

What would I do now? He used his tricks, as did I, but before I entered into perhaps Sonic's death, I put the infinite lives and invincibility back on.

When I entered, I went all out at him, and, I had succeeded. When the being ran out of lives, he lay on the ground, and Sonic had become happy, as was I.

Finally, all the souls would be released, and I would be out of here. I thought so, but unfortunately that didn't happen. He got up again, to float, and now he had 150 lives.

Did you think this would be that easy? He had torn his bag apart, and there was a blank screen for about 10 seconds. The real

battle was about to begin, and the music, it was really scary.

There was a message that the being gave me. I am KOLT. He looked at the camera, but now he would unleash his true power on me.

I had quickly put in the infinite rings code, and I double jumped. It was the moment of truth. I would face Kolt, in his true form,

and like me, he would use Super Sonic at my side. I would do it for everyone, and I jumped at him many times. I managed to dodge his big tongue with several sharp spikes.

When he saw that, he used one of his tricks, and managed to teleport behind me, but he wouldn't let his big claws pierce me again. He had become even more frustrated.

and his hands transformed into big blades, which tried to kill me. But Sonic's strength was incredible, and he managed to break his blades into 2.

When I jumped on him, a mask had protected Kolt, but with a few jumps the mask was shattered. Kolt had only 70 lives left, and he hadn't even taken anything from me.

Kolt soon realized, and paused the entire game. Even if he pressed start, nothing happened. The screen had gone black, and after 10 seconds the screen reacted again.

But I was down to 50 lives, just like Kolt, and he soon explained that to me. We have to be even, you know? I looked at my ring count, and it was slowly decreasing.

I had 100 rings, and I had to get all of his lives before all the rings ran out. My adrenaline was pumping at that moment, and I was very focused on the screen, still watching Sonic.

Kolt summoned a portal to cover himself, and different hands came out of it, decreasing the amount of rings and lives. Kolt changed his form, and gave Sonic a big punch in the head.

Sonic stood still for a bit, and Kolt would use the needles against me, but I would easily dodge it, to jump on his back. When Kolt and I had 10 lives left,

It was the right time to jump on him 10 times. Kolt started teleporting over and over again, until I got distracted trying to hit him, but he managed to teleport

and had dug his claws into me behind Sonic. I only had one life left, and 10 rings, but Kolt made his last attack. He grabbed Sonic by the neck, and choked him to death. The game over appeared, and when it disappeared, Kolt started laughing while looking at me.

It all seemed to end there, but it didn't. I had remembered that I still had my last one left, and it had made me extremely very excited.

And when I reappeared in the final area, Kolt says. You again? He quickly took out a bag from his back, and aggressively went for me.

Even if I jumped, or dodged, it wasn't worth it. Sonic was carrying the bag, and soon lost consciousness. His blue spikes disintegrated, only to see Sonic completely grey.

The game over screen appeared, again. Kolt's horrible face was all over the screen, but apparently, something seemed to be bothering him. Some yellow letters appeared.

Help us kill him once and for all. Kolt's face deformed, and soon I knew who was helping me. It was Kevin, Stan and Isaac to get revenge. Kolt started screaming,

But I was the only one missing to finish Kolt off once and for all. I pressed all the buttons on the controller, but nothing happened. Kolt soon started laughing, and he had swallowed Stan's soul.

Kevin released a sign on the screen. Quick, help us before he kills us all! I did everything to help them, but as nothing reacted, I got angry, and threw my controller at the console.

Kolt started screaming, and I understood. His weak point was the console itself. I started hitting him repeatedly, and I just watched the screen, as Kolt suffered the great pain that we transmitted to him

. I repeated it and repeated it, until I ran out of strength. Kolt was very deformed, and I had to do the final blow. I stepped on the console, and Kolt had finally been defeated, and also, Stan's soul had managed to escape Kolt's body. Kevin, Stan and Issac, finally

Successfully carried out their revenge. The screen showed several glitches, and the 3 souls told me the following. Thank you, we really don't know how to thank you, because thanks to you, we can rest in peace.

Kevin had told me the following. You know? I'll tell you a little secret, the modified levels, were the thoughts of each one of us. Kolt tortured us countless times,

and twisted our thoughts, to turn them into nightmares. Now that he was finally defeated, our thoughts will return to normal.

Before they left, Isaac told me the following. Unfortunately we can't revive other characters, but with the little power we have, we will free a friend of yours.

Sonic appeared on the screen, and Isaac proceeded to tear the bag into pieces. sonic moved his head left and right, and then left the screen.

The 3 souls were gone, saying goodbye to me. A little while later, the classic scene appeared where we appear running in green hills.

There were several badniks and little animals in the background, and they all jumped for joy.

The hedgehog began to look towards the clouds, and saw the silhouettes of Eggman, and Sonic B.

Soon the camera focused on Sonic again, and he said goodbye to the player, thus ending the game.

It was all over. I unplugged my console and the cartridge. I put them aside, to check the Gmail contacts for Kolt employees again.

There was the address to find the employees, and I would go there right now, to get an explanation of everything.

I walked through the darkness with my flashlight, and I came to a small building made of bricks.

I went to the first floor, and I found several dark rooms, but there was one room lit by light, so I took out my knife. I slowly went there, and

I found a person sitting in a chair, with his head directly at the monitor. I asked him.

Are you an employee of Kolt? He answered me in a cold way, yes. I asked him. Why did you make this shitty game? I took the cartridge out of my pocket, and moved his chair so he could see the cartridge.

When he saw it, he grabbed it desperately, and threw it on the floor, opening it. I slapped him in the face to calm him down, and said. Why did you do that? I grabbed him by the shoulder and yelled at him.

I want answers! He punched me in the stomach, and tried to run away from me, but I managed to stab him in the back with the knife. Out of curiosity, I looked at what he was doing on the computer, and saw the following.

In a forum exclusive to kolt moderators, he was talking to another kolt moderator who said the following. Please, I want out of this damn job, friend, I'm sick of following Jack's

Orders. You can't, or else Jack will kill us. I don't care, today I will leave this job and escape the country, so I won't be found.

I sent him a message asking the following. What is dark cartridge? He replied with the following. Ask Jack.

I went to the second floor, and found the bathrooms. Nothing interesting. Until I went to the top floor. There was a door, and after knocking on it several times, Jack had opened the door for me.

He greeted me, thinking I was a new employee, and took me to his office. Jack had seen the dark cartridge, and quickly took it out of my hands, and pulled out a gun, pointing it at my head.

He said to me the following. Where did you get it? I told him I bought it from the official kolt website, and he lowered the gun. He said to me this. like this. The kolt website. Well, you know, the cartridge belongs to me, everything that has the cartridge belongs to me.

I yelled at him the following. Why did you kill Kevin, Stan and Isaac? His expression changed to angry, and he replied. Look, you idiot, you better not have posted any of this to the web, because if you do, you'll have to deal with me.

I said, no, no, no. But he saw that I was a little nervous, and he approached me, staring at me. He thought I was cheating on him, so he went to his computer, and started browsing the messages deleted by the moderators.

I knew he was going to see my dark cartridge posts, so I pulled out my knife, and hid it behind my back. I would peek out to check my computer, but when he saw my posts, he exploded. He jumped on top of me, and started hitting me several times in the head.

I kept repeating this to myself. You're a motherfucker, because you tried to trick me. I stabbed him in the leg with my knife, and he screamed in pain. I got out of there, but he managed to shoot me in my foot.

I jumped at him and hit him, the same way he did with me, asking and yelling at him, why did you kill Kevin, Stan, and Isaac? Give me a fucking answer, you bastard.

Jack shot me in my other foot, and yelled at me. Society made me become the shitty person I am. I stopped hitting him in the face, and he explained everything to me.

Look, your name is Alex right? Society put me through the worst part of my life, everyone rejected me, and my mother told me that I was a mistake in being born, since she was 17 years old, and I was only 5. We did not live in a very good economic stability, and my father had abandoned me.

After a while I found out that it was an unwanted pregnancy, and everyone made fun of it at the school I went to. Years later, I met Kolt, well, his real name is Nick. I was his friend for years.

We both created a website that everyone knows as Kolt's website. Nick worked for a group of assassins, because he had not finished high school.

Nick had gotten into a crime, and they killed him on the spot. When I found out that Nick had died, I wanted to kill all the people, now not only because they rejected me, but also because

They killed my best friend who was with me for years. After several rituals, I managed to transfer Nick's soul to my jack rum. When I contacted him, he told me the following. Those bastards killed me, if you are a good friend, kill society for everything they did to you,

Everything they put you through, everything that tormented you, finish them, don't put limits or barriers to your goal, fulfill it.

I kept his word, and now I am as I am. That's why I do all this. I want Nick to be happy with me, I like to see people suffer, like We had been through the same thing.

People deserve all this, and I will destroy society, but in my own style.

I understood his words, and I told him.

Look Jack, I understand that you want to kill people, but you have to know that there are people out there, who have nothing to do with this, there are innocent people, who do not deserve to die, as you did with Kevin, Isaac and Stan.

Those people only wanted the Sonic game, and speaking of Sonic, why did you think it was a good idea to put your friend's soul in a cartridge?

Jack says the following.

About the cartridge, I made it to take advantage of the image of the hedgehog and that worked, because I had managed to steal 5,000 dollars thanks to this.

I used this mechanic, for years, and nobody realized this. Nobody was able to kill Nick, and it was the only place where he could be alive without anyone bothering him. During all those years, Nick started creating his own levels, because I communicated with him

on my television, and he showed me everything he had created.

Right now, I'm going to go talk to Nick, come on, do you want to see how I can contact him?

I answered him with a yes.

When he connected the cartridge, Jack started talking to the screen, repeating. Hello, Nick. Nick?, niiick, nick, I'm talking to you.

When he saw that Nick didn't respond, he started to go to the level selector, and went to the final area, but he saw the worst thing of his life.

I was kolt. But killed by me. Jack started to cry and scream in anger. How was it possible that you killed my only friend.

You reached the end of my game, I'm going to kill you, and now you will be the soul that receives the most torture for the rest of time.

Oh no. Jack got angry. He knew that I had killed Nick in the final area.

The shot was aimed at me, but I dodged it, and hid behind a table. I stabbed him in the feet with my knife, and he fell back to the floor.

I beat him mercilessly, until he was completely unconscious. I went to the phone in his office, and called the police. After a few minutes, he woke up, but the police arrested him. His last words to me were these.

You'll see that I'll be back. Alex, you're not going to get out of this alive, did you hear me? I stood in the office, and started looking through all the drawers. They contained games like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3, but it was better not to take each one of these games,

Because I knew that each one of these has a disturbing story behind it. From that moment on, my feet started to hurt more and more, and I asked the police if they could call a doctor, since the pain was getting stronger.

days later.

I went to the police station to confess all of Jack's incidents, I showed them proof of all of them, and even some of the website's employees came out to confess everything that Jack intended to do for years. Some employees had taken some screenshots of various conversations about the project, and the officers had arrested Jack for all the crimes he committed, and he will be behind bars for some long years.

The few surviving employees thanked me, because they were manipulated to work there for hours, or were threatened with death if they tried to escape from there. They all looked at each other with a big smile, and they left together towards their homes.

When I got home, I was totally exhausted. I knew that Jack will return one day. I was afraid of his threat, what if some unexpected moment he returns?

I went to my room, and destroyed the cartridge with a hammer, and now the console was missing. When I managed to break the front, I was shocked by what it contained.

A recorder, a microphone, along with a tracker to find out where the console was. I couldn't believe it. I quickly destroyed them with all the strength I had, and threw them in the trash.

Perhaps I shouldn't talk too much in this blog. Some screenshots were saved, while others were simply torn to pieces thanks to the fire that that strange guy with a mask caused me.

Anyway. I've made everyone happy now.

I'll give you a piece of advice. If you're going to buy an item in Kolt's store, keep in mind what I'm going to tell you. These are not cursed games. There are no ghosts. Throughout the game, they are a warning and a representation of what Jack is capable of doing to the player.
