    Soul Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/exe_souls_idle.png
SO MANY SOULS TO PLAY WITH - SO LITTLE TIME. WOULD YOU AGREE?
Origin: Sonic.exe by Jack Cranely
The two close friends of the fastest thing alive and his arch-enemy, who were claimed as Sonic.exe's victims. All three of them were brought back from the dead for Triple Trouble... but it turns out that they aren't really willing to serve Sonic.exe as he would like them to be.
  • Adaptational Badass: In the original creepypasta, Robotnik was the least able to put up a fight of the three due to being a completely normal human. In the mod, his segment of "Triple Trouble" is generally regarded as the hardest due to its increased BPM, sudden flip in perspective, and his segment lasting the longest of the characters involved next to Sonic.exe himself. It's even hinted by the fact that his segment starts in the middle of Boyfriend's turn and that red static appears before being dissipated during his segment that he's outright stealing Sonic.exe's turn.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Tails and Knuckles both have one of their arms torn off, while Robotnik is missing both of his hands.
  • Back from the Dead: They were all killed by Sonic.EXE throughout the original game, but now they're back! It's certainly not pretty, though, as they retain all of Sonic.exe's defilements to their bodies.
  • Bloodless Carnage: Outside of Tails' Tears of Blood, the trio are surprisingly clean for reanimated corpses.
  • Body Horror: Not hard to assume considering they're all dead. Robotnik takes the cake though; he looks like his corpse was simply reanimated, with his brain visible from inside his eye sockets.
  • Cyclops: Tails' down animation has both his eye holes merge into one, showing only one pupil. Oh, and he's staring right at you.
  • Demoted to Dragon: In a sense, Robotnik's often the Big Bad of the mainline Sonic games, but in Triple Trouble, he is used as an undead lackey for Xenophanes in the song alongside Tails and Knuckles.
  • Empty Shell: Implied with Knuckles; his vocals are more subdued compared to Tails and Robotnik, and it's taken literally since there's absolutely nothing inside his mouth and eyeholes.
  • Evil Laugh: Robotnik does this at the end of his first segment (and several times after) after realizing that not even Xenophanes can stand a chance against Boyfriend.
  • Eye Scream: All three are missing their eyes. Tails in particular looks like he had his eyes messily torn out.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Tails stares at the player during his down pose and in his losing icon.
  • Ghostly Gape: Knuckles' mouth always hangs open, showing a black abyss devoid of detail.
  • Gross-Up Close-Up: Early in Tails' segment and at the start of Knuckles' and Eggman's segments, there are minor jumpscares with very detailed drawings of each corpse's face.
  • My Brain Is Big: Befitting his original Mad Scientist status, Eggman's defining Body Horror feature is his large exposed brain, protruding through his eyeholes and the crack in the middle of his head.
  • Personality Remnant: Compared to Tails and Knuckles, who are little more than shells of their former selves, Robotnik retains much of his bombastic and hammy personality, shown through his expressive poses and tendency to let out a laugh at the end of his verses.
  • The Quiet One: Knuckles' part is quieter and more mellow than Tails and Robotnik's.
  • Undead Child: Tails was killed at only 8 years old.

    Tails Doll 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tails_doll_idle.png
Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?
Click here to see him in Soulless
You are coming with me... Forever.
Origin: Sonic R conspiracy theories, fanmade Sonic.EXE media

The cursed doll made by Dr. Eggman in the image of Sonic's best friend and brother figure. Often portrayed in fan media as Sonic.exe's ally, but sometimes his enemy. As the entity who curses players of Sonic R under certain conditions, it challenges Boyfriend to a rap battle... but with horrific consequences should he lose.


  • Adaptational Badass: Zigzagged Trope. It's stronger than the canon Tails Doll, who couldn't even speak and could barely float, but it's weaker than most incarnations of the creepypasta (which turn it into a slasher-level killer) and way below the version seen in official Archie comics (where it is a straight-up eldritch monster). Its look is more akin to its more popular creepypasta variation during "Soulless", however.
  • Art Shift: As opposed to all the other songs, Tails Doll's battle is rendered entirely in Sega Saturn-style low-poly 3D models. He returns to a 2D artstyle for "Soulless," albeit one with much more detail than the rest of the mod, so as to show off its bloody claws and teeth.
  • Creepy Doll: He's an evil floating doll that hangs people to death and is very unsettling to look at. "Soulless" gives him a bloodier appearance with visible claws and teeth, and has him pulled around by puppet strings.
  • Hanging Around: If Boyfriend loses, Tails Doll does... something that ends with Boyfriend hanging from a noose so fast that he's still holding onto his microphone by the time he dies (though it still drops to the ground anyways).
  • Non-Standard Character Design: Unlike nearly every other opponent, who is either drawn in the normal FNF style or 32-bit sprites, Tails Doll is a 3D model, something foreign in the FNF modding community itself and especially the rest of the mod. It’s unused sprites in Soulless also line up with this, having a more detailed and sketchy appearance than everyone else in the mod.
  • Perverse Puppet: It has puppet strings connected to its body in "Soulless," alongside a much bloodier, creepier look.
  • Power Floats: Just like in its home game, Tails Doll is always floating above the ground.

    Fleetway Super Sonic 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fleetway_super_sonic_idle.png
Free! Free at last! Now I will have my revenge... and destroy everything!
HAH! Hahaha! Let's see how fast you can really go!
Origin: Sonic the Comic by SEGA and Fleetway Comic Publishings

Sonic the Comic Originating from a British comic adaptation of the Sonic series, this unhinged entity is perhaps the darkest variant of the most iconic empowered form for the Blue Blur.


  • Big "WHAT?!": Lets one out once Boyfriend gets a Super Form of his own, signaling the start of his Villainous Breakdown.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": Near the end of the song, he yells this at Boyfriend.
    "Ghh! Shut up!"
  • Boss Banter: Super tends to shout insults and threats at Boyfriend as his song progresses.
  • Evil Brit: Subverted, as even though he originates from a British adaption of Sonic, he trained himself to have an American accent out of shame.
  • Evil Is Hammy: Is Sonic's Superpowered Evil Side, and is by far the loudest and most talkative of all the opponents of the mod.
  • Eye Beams: During one part of "Chaos", he tries to blast Boyfriend with one of these, which will One-Hit Kill Boyfriend if it's not dodged. Also, if Boyfriend loses the song, Super Sonic will kill him with one of these, reducing him to ashes and his blue balls.
  • Flipping the Bird: He does this in his right pose.
  • Game-Over Man: He loves flinging insults whenever you lose. In fact, he even takes some shots towards the other characters of the mod and the stories each of them comes from.
    "What does hyper-realistic even mean?"
  • Golden Super Mode: A given, since he's a variant of Super Sonic.
  • Jerkass: Being aggressive, rude, murderous, and a Smug Super, he's not the most amazing person to be around.
  • Laughably Evil: He won’t shut up during his song, going from snarking to trying to outdo Boyfriend out of spite.
  • Out of Focus: In the 3.0 build released by MarStarBro. Other than Lord X, he's the only returning 2.0 opponent to not have a new song or any form of overhaul, outside of getting borders for the beginning cutscene of "Chaos" and new icons. A redesign was planned, along with new songs titled "Heroes & Villains" and "Running Wild", but the build doesn't feature any of them.
  • Pop-Cultured Badass: He's well aware of memes, not only the ones surrounding Sonic.EXE or Sonic the Hedgehog as a whole, but outside of those circles as well.
    "That was a nice argument. Unfortunately, you were burnt to a crisp by my laser eyes!"
  • Smug Super: Pun aside, Super is just as powerful (if not even more so) than the form is in the games, and just as cocky as Sonic himself is. Seeing Boyfriend survive for so long and even turn super himself pisses him off as a result.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: Basically. Subverted in the comics for a while, but here he's at his prime.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Once Boyfriend undertakes a Super Form of his own, Fleetway goes from taunting him to angrily growling at him.

    Sunky 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sunky_4.png
INSERT SONIC QUOTE THAT BECAME AN OUTDATED MEME HERE

I OCCASIONALLY SUNK.
Origin: Sunky: The Game by LooneyDude, Sunky.MPEG by LooneyDude, Sunky's Schoolhouse by Bimbus Bobus and LooneyDude
Originating from a trilogy of fan games (all lighthearted parodies of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic's Schoolhouse and Sonic.EXE respectively), this little guy holds no ill will towards anyone and just wants to have a fun time with Boyfriend... by dancing with him for eternity.
  • Art Evolution: Subverted, but then played straight. Unlike the other characters who existed before 2.0, Sunky didn't get a visual overhaul, instead, getting better camera work. This is very likely due to his Stylistic Suck qualities. He got a proper visual overhaul in the 2.5 build, making him look less detailed and strangely proportioned. He also lacks his glowing red eyes, which were the only indicator of his status as a Sonic.exe parody as opposed to being a parody of Sonic himself.
  • Lethal Joke Character: Despite his nature as a joke character, the first version of his song has a really tight note density. And according to Word of God, he's the most powerful of the mod's opponents, including Fleetway Super Sonic himself! (Of course, this is assuming it wasn't a joke).
  • Lighter and Softer: Sunky is the only opponent who doesn't want to kill you, simply wanting you to sing and dance with him.
  • Nice Guy: Just like in his home series, Sunky has no intention of bringing Boyfriend to harm, and simply makes him dance with him should he lose.
  • Secret Character: He isn't unlocked via sound test or the story mode, and is instead unlocked by pressing Up, Down, Left, and Right on the title screen.
  • Stylistic Suck: His art style is very low quality, calling back to his game of origin having a simple art style. The cancelled build redoes his sprites to make them look nicer and more toony, but now comes with the addition of "e" and "a" next to his poses, written in Comic Sans.
  • Token Good Teammate: Unlike most opponents (and that's saying something), Sunky has absolutely no malicious intentions whatsoever; he just wants to sing and dance with Boyfriend.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Inverted: the 2.0 version of the mod had Sunky.MPEG, his universe's version of Sonic.exe, while the cancelled build has the regular Sunky. Word of God says that the two are indeed separate characters. invoked
    • This even applies to his songs as well, as the remastered version of "Milk" is much slower and less note dense than its original counterpart.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Milk and Cereal, which he holds in his left pose.

    Sanic.exe 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sanic_idle.png
CUMON STEP IT UP!!!!!

We must embrace pain, and burn it as fuel for our journey.
Origin: Various internet artworks, Sonic Forces (Canon Appearance)
Gotta go fest! Everyone's favorite obnoxiously loud and hilariously drawn Sonic illustration is here too, and he's been given a spooky alternate counterpart to fit the mod just a little bit more.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: Don't let his low quality fool you; his song is extremely fast.
  • Denser and Wackier: Considering him being based on a meme, this is to be expected. While the others (except Sunky) are implied to kill Boyfriend horrifically or make him endure a Fate Worse than Death, Sanic.exe just bulldozes him. In a low-quality GMod cutscene, no less! The 3.0 build changes this to shooting him to death... although still in GMod, and with Freddy and the gang as his audience.
    • Somehow, Sanic himself went through this, as his song was changed between 2.0 and the 3.0 build from a straight cover of Green Hill Zone (with a little bit of note spam) to an MLG meme-filled cover, with Sanic himself telling you to "Cumon, step it up!!!!"
  • Gun Nut: He's the only character in the mod shown with guns other than Pico, holding a scattergun in his right pose and shooting Boyfriend to death in his new game over.
  • Laughably Evil: Despite being his usual meme self, he's just as evil as the other Sonics, as he brutally kills Boyfriend if he loses "Too Fest".
  • Lethal Joke Character: He has one of the fastest and hardest songs in the mod.
  • Memetic Mutation: He's based on the Sanic meme mixed with Sonic.exe, which isn't even an entirely new idea in and of itself. His song is also based on the meme of Green Hill Zone's theme but with immense base boosting to the point of earrape. The 3.0 version ramps this up tenfold, littering his song with MLG-related memes towards the latter half such as airhorns, trap music and "Oh, baby, a triple!"
  • Stylistic Suck: Of course, this applies. Sanic was born from a rushed, poorly drawn MS Paint picture of Sonic. Sanic.exe is largely the same, but with his eyes a different color and bloody tears scribbled under his eyes. His voice sounds in "Too Fest's" overhauled version also applies, being extremely low quality both in his chromatic and his voice lines.
  • Suddenly Speaking: He speaks (albeit in low quality voice clips) in 3.0's version of "Too Fest".
  • Super-Strength: In the original game over cutscene, he kills Boyfriend by bulldozing him, causing him to explode into blood. A surprising feat of strength for a character like him.

Removed/Scrapped:

    Faker/EXE 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/faker_idle.png
YOU'RE too… YOU’RE too… YOU’RE too… YOU’RE too… YOU’RE TOO- YOU'RE TOO— YOU’RE TOO SLOW! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! GRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Origin: Vs. Sonic.EXE, created by Revie_03
A brand new variation of the famous hedgehog demon, this incarnation disguises himself as a near-perfect replica of the Blue Blur to lure his prey in... before exposing himself as the massive monster that he actually is.

Originally released as part of the Round 2 update, Faker and all content associated with him aside from his sprites in a gallery were made inaccessible following false allegations against his creator and former director of the mod, Revie_03, going around at the time, which eventually led to the former artist, KubiCorg, getting removed from the team.


  • Black Eyes of Evil: As per usual for Sonic.exe, but this version's eyes are entirely black in his true form. However, in actuality, these aren't pupils, but rather something merely echoing that effect; according to the one who created this version of Sonic.exe in a tweet, the "pupils" are actually holes. When they appear to dilate, what's actually happening is that his eyes melt inwards.
  • Canon Foreigner: While everyone else is taken from various Sonic creepypastas, urban legends, and media, Faker is unique as he is an Original Character; to be more specific, he is a new interpretation of Sonic.exe (based on the original) debuting in this mod. He wasn't created for the mod, though, as he simply hadn't had his story finished or released by the time he was added to the modnote .
  • Clothing Appendage: His true form reveals that his gloves and shoes are just as much a part of him as the rest of his body, as they blend "melt" into his skin.
  • Death Glare: His idle pose in "Faker" is Sonic's usual determined, furrowed brow, but taken just far enough to suggest active malice behind the eyes rather than a relatively neutral expression. It's highlighted especially by a moment where he just lets Boyfriend have a solo to himself, as if he's getting bored with the facade.
  • Expy: As confirmed by Revie_03, he is based off of X from Sonic.exe Remake, sharing many aspects in both their disguised forms such as their blue arms and darker fur.
  • I Have Many Names: Out of the mod, EXE is also seen with the name "Faker" as reference to his first song, which he's often dubbed as. He is officially stated to use both names, though titles mean little to him.
  • Imposter Forgot One Detail: While Faker's mimicry is incredibly similar to the real deal, there are a few details that make him intentionally look... off, such as his blue arms and unconjoined eyes.
  • Knight of Cerebus: Once he drops his somewhat goofy-looking disguise, absolutely nothing is Played for Laughs about him. There are no goofy aspects, just straight-faced horror.
  • Official Couple: Initially was this with Sarah/Needlem0use, but the ship sank following the false allegations of Revie.
  • Original Generation: This Sonic is the former lead artist's interpretation of the classic creepypasta villain, rather than being taken from an existing version.
  • Orwellian Retcon: He is slated to be almost completely removed from the mod due to controversy that resulted in his creator being booted from the mod team. An unused song called "GOD SPEED" only refers to Faker as the "forbidden character" in its SoundCloud description, making him an Unperson to the mod as well. While his sprites were planned to be included in a gallery in tribute to his artist, Divide, this wasn't implemented before the mod was cancelled, and everything about him is completely absent from the unfinished build.
  • One-Winged Angel: His true form comes with the power to passively drain your health and prevent you from healing.
  • Playing with Fire: He killed Tails by burning him alive with his powers, which is why Tails' charred corpse is seen in the background of "Black Sun".
  • Power Makes Your Voice Deep: His voice is relatively high-pitched during "Faker", but drops several octaves once he reveals his true power in "Black Sun".
  • Shapeshifter Baggage: His true form is much taller than his fake form.
  • Unperson: Any mention of Faker was scoured clean from the mod beyond the art Divide made; all future songs for him were canceled, and he's never mentioned by name by the remaining developers, usually only being referred to as the "forbidden character" or variations thereof. As far as the developers are concerned, Faker never existed beyond the Divide art, and mentioning attempts to bring him back will be met with ire.
  • The Voiceless: Faker is this once he transforms into his true form. While he does monologue in his faker form, he's a man of little words once his true colours show.
  • Voice of the Legion: During his transformation sequence, he attempts to copy Sonic's famous "You're too slow" line. "Attempt" being the keyword here, as he repeatedly stutters "You're too-" in a deep, distorted, and layered voice as his true form begins to emerge, before finally completing the line, cackling, and roaring in a similarly twisted way.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: He's capable of turning into a near-perfect copy of Sonic.
