The many fanmade horror legends of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise have all gathered together in Vs Sonic.exe. And most of them (barring a few others) have one goal in common: kill the famous Boyfriend.

General Tropes
- Animalistic Abomination: Aside from the ones that are just horrifying versions of the classic Sonic characters, most of these guys are hiding their real forms in the shape of anthropomorphic animals.
- Black Eyes of Evil / Red Eyes, Take Warning: As classic staples of the original creepypasta, many of the enemies faced in this mod tend to have either red or black eyes, if not outright combining them.
- Evil Is Bigger: Quite a number of characters are either naturally bigger than Boyfriend or can change into much larger forms.
- Funny Animals: Most of these guys are based on Sonic the Hedgehog, a series known for its anthropomorphic characters.
- Obviously Evil: The vast majority of the opponents are either deranged, undergoing Body Horror of some kind, or generally just have something wrong with them. Most of them are also trying to kill Boyfriend.

Boyfriend
HMP YEAH HAHA!!
Bop Beep Be Be Skdoo Bep
The spunky blue-haired rapper himself, who's now up against the many horrors (And similar entities) of the Sonic universe.- Adaptational Species Change: Boyfriend is portrayed as a Mobian rabbit in the mod's Encore Mode and "Forestall Desire". For the latter, this is to comply with the Anthropic Principle mentioned in Requital's bio.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While for the majority of the mod Boyfriend is his usual Fearless Fool self, his demeanor in "Fatality" is the opposite of that, as he spends the whole song glaring at Fatal Error. The reason for him taking Fatal Error seriously unlike the rest of the mod's opponents seems to be that Fatal Error took Girlfriend from him and turned her into another one of his puppets.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Hey Red Head! Might wanna repair your toys!
Man, you really like scrambling your own plans, don’t’cha-
Origin: Vs. Sonic.EXE, created by DumbieDumbie
The Blue Blur himself, not some demon that’s possessing him or taking his form to trick his comrades for once. He is the protagonist of the song "Prey", where he faces off with a modified Mecha Sonic and his arch-nemesis driven mad by his hunger for wildlife and Mobians. Unfortunately for him, this would be his last duel with the doctor...- And Now for Someone Completely Different: Sonic is completely disconnected from the events of this mod that Boyfriend goes through.
- Art Shift: The entirety of "Prey" plays out in a Genesis/CD styled format, with Sonic, Furnace and Starved all rendered in the console's limitations. The health bar is also offcenter to make room for the song's unique HUD, based on the Genesis games' HUD.
- Demoted to Extra: Other than his Superpowered Evil Side being fought in "Chaos" and originally the player character in "Prey", Sonic himself rarely gets any screen time. He's rarely mentioned in the backstory of most of the EXEs, and if he is, it's usually because he's their victim.
- Killed Mid-Sentence: Let's just say that quote above ends suddenly for a reason.
- The Nicknamer: Just like modern Sonic games, Sonic loves giving mocking nicknames to Eggman, though this time he chooses the nickname "Red Head" due to Starved's red skin. The 2.0 version of "Prey" also has him use the classic "Robuttnik" nickname from Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM).
- Oh, Crap!: His expression noticeably changes when Starved reveals his true face - and not for the better.
- Pursued Protagonist: The entirety of "Prey" is this to Sonic, and he doesn't survive.
- Promoted to Playable: As mentioned, Sonic was going to be this for "Prey".
- The Hero Dies: He's killed by Furnace at the very end of the song, then presumably cooked and served to Starved.
Miles "Tails" Prower
he wishes he could fly high again
Origin: Vs. Sonic.EXE, created by DumbieDumbie
An alternate version of Tails who is a lone survivor of Starved's One-Track-Minded Hunger, he has been on the run for a while, and only recently has he got the courage to confront the doctor to put a stop to his plan of using the Time Stones to create an endless feast, especially since he was invited for dinner...- An Arm and a Leg: Starved had already managed to eat one of his namesakes by "Fight Or Flight".
- All for Nothing: Implied, near the end of "Fight or Flight", it becomes near impossible to regenerate health due to the fear meter being maxed out, causing massive health drain. Tails' losing icon is him being horribly maimed, likely implying he doesn't stop Starved.
- And Now for Someone Completely Different: The confrontation between Tails and Starved has no connection to the events of the mod Boyfriend goes through.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Should Tails' fear meter get too high at any point in the song, he'll become Starved's next meal. It's as horrible to behold as you'd expect, so much that the game has to censor the gruesome sight.
- Promoted to Playable: Tails takes Boyfriend's place for "Fight or Flight", facing Starved himself.
- Sanity Meter: At least a form of one as a fear meter at the right of the screen during "Fight or Flight". It slowly climbs up during the song, and can only be held down through successful note hits. Getting misses, or rather "sacrifices", as the game refers to them in this case, raises it higher.
- "Looks like your fun was limited!"
