when looking at some of the big players in each of the comms
i love how the 'poser' type all have their own way of tainting their original hero's legacy - indirectly or directly.
gonna nerd out a bit in the thread lol

lost brother/TOOLATE.nes
-
Lost Mario ;
A variant of Mario who lost his brother - and was consumed by loss.
Unable to let go, he wanders the world, desperate to be alone, haunted by a manifestation of his own guilt.

Hey guys! This is my new EXE, his name is Error_SONIC!
Error_SONIC is a EXE that was created when Sonic was killed by X in one of the many EXE universes. He was reborn due to a fatal error - making him into an EXE himself.
Lore in thread! 🧵

2017x has very little but from what can be inferred so far - he believes he is Sonic, and will only begin to act out to those who don't believe he's Sonic.
He picks out victims using their false sense of security around a clear imposter, using the hero's likeness as a flytrap.
And Dreamwalker takes this concept far more literally, an aspect unseen from the hero - taking him over from the inside.
Kirby's forced to watch through eyes that no longer belong to him, as Dreamwalker destroys the world he fought to keep safe USING Kirby to do so.
All-father wants to give the world what he believes is a BETTER Mario, taking his likeness, his name - and using his power to make his own story, a BETTER story. To bring something brand new to the table. All while disgracing the good plumber's nature and morals.
A better Mario.
Ok being serious here.
Revival, retake, new mod entirely
There are so many EXE FNF mods and NONE star Mephiles.
Despite the fact he’s the CLOSEST CANON CHARACTER TO AN EXE
Why??

from a distance, all three of these heroes look normal.
maybe a touch darker but nothing out of the ordinary, until you're too close to break away.
yet all three execute disgracing and impersonating their heroes in appropriate and imo brilliant ways based on their characters.
all the 2017X songs I’ve seen are with like tails or cream
Break the cycle
Break the formula
He’s a Sonic 06 pasta.
2017X vs Mephiles song, make it happen.
looking at design
2017x imo has clear canon inspirations noted from mephiles. the ashy appearance, the distorted features - like with mephiles, both reflect the characters theyre impersonating but only to an extent.
it's finished its FINALLLLYYYY FINISHED AHA
2 days of work WORTH it.
anyway. HI! this isn't a rom hack. so sorry if anyone wanted to play it.
this is TOO LATE.nes, and i'mma talk about it here 🧵
shadow's mouth being gone from mephiles worked due to shadow's stoic nature - with sonic, his smile is a defining feature, while his hands and feet due to speed could be a blur.
even if coincidental i love the comparisons between both designs.
all-father takes direct inspirations not only from mario's earliest palette incarnations, but from other villainous forces in the universe
as the mario universe's embodiment of evil, of course visual links to bowser would be present - the jawline, bulkier, sharper appearance...
he uses design conventions from the series villians to better convey his darkness, compared to mario's far cleaner, rounder appearance.
direct contrast to him, drawing parallels from his nemesis.
and dreamwalker has draws to the likes of zero and dark matter with the eye lurking around in his maw
not only due to both kirby and dm's link to void termina, but as a visual representation of the darkness taking over kirby from the inside.
ive made two savestates for where we are now, just coz someone suggested something and i wanna come back to it once we've dug as deep as we can w what we're doing now.
the whiskers and desaturated palette call back to kirby's earlier days, indicating the character's roots
kirby's creator didn't like him having whiskers, using them in the design further shows how much of a bastardisation of kirby's legacy he is - spitting from a meta standpoint
oh. a
a letter. something's happened ig?
there's a story to this weird rom hack, fuckin sweet.
i'mma keep messing with it. i'll let you know my findings :]
so notes so far;
- no luigi????????????where is my BOY
- only 1 player
- very fuckin like minimalistic
tho the game isn't in the right aspect ratio, idk if thats just the emulator i'm running it on or sumn.
so more interesting shit i've compiled
1. the overworld is fucked. idk what this is supposed to be really. 1 level rom, cool ig.
except that the level is just. empty. theres
theres nothing here LOL
all the blocks are used, like
tf
yeah i love t hese 3 they're so fucking awesome and i think like
could have some awesome interactions with each other once their stories begin to get more public releases.
thread over thanks for reading if you read this far reply to the tweet saying blingo :))
so me n silvery were messing around with some like
messy stuff
used some guides i dont fuck around w roms on this level normally
moved mario ONTO the goal and it still triggers a time out.
idk if the goal even HAS a trigger its weird.
also luigi is just.
there.
(i didn't actually do dreamwalker's current design - @/KuamoRedreamed did it, so i'm praising their subtle design shit from my og concept which was kinda ASS lookin back lol)
okay, ran through a few more times
we're at death count 21 - new letter.
starting to get a rough picture of what's happened i think, will cover in my next update while i do some more runs.
final update for now, i'm on loop 34
bg has changed hue again and some of the bushes i think are gone??
idk other than the lava the level feels more empty.
update;
so after the peach cutscene the level changed a bit. more lava and i think the bg changed a bit?
let me know if i missed any other changes i aint got the best eye for small things
so i think something's happened to luigi.
his absense from the title screen is the most telling to that i think.
not sure if the level is supposed to be some kinda purgatory for mario since it keeps repeating and theres not much there.
maybe mario did something to him idk???
not much to report atm. just sorta. getting the same result.
i play, i get to the end, i time out.
timer seems to accelerate at certain thresholds on the level. imma keep messing around to see if i can get any closer to the goal
average rerun cycle
- nayu is a terrible person
- it hits Twitter after a bit
- rerun devs jump the tweet in their defense
- ‘why is nayu still on rerun’ tweets
- everyone goes back to meat riding like nothing happened once topsmokeandstrangerloader v200 drops
you've said that i should "off myself in a vc", wouldn't hop off my dick for a whole ass year, and constantly shit talked me behind my back to the rerun dev server, all over me leaving the mod and not letting you use my song a year ago. i'm not the one looking for attention dawg.
i'm just purposely hitting the lava now on a lotta runs, it seems to count to the same death counter
but while i do a few more runs here's my theory on what all this is atm
so glad i caught that jfc
like he was only there for a second
shame its only screenshots i can manage atm idk if this has happened before and ive missed it dang!
im pretty sure this level has a like cloud secret area like
coz you're supposed to be able to get the tanooki, imma keep messing around to see if i can access it - might give us more idk
lost brother vs skid and pump oneshot mod (i like to think that pump being affected by the eyes, and them both being fans of spooky shit, could count as a second sense for them to see Immoluigi.)
fnaf 3 good ending typa beat thanks razz
but uhhhhh i think thats it
dont think there was anything else i could've done but im open to suggestions
hope yall enjoyed this deep dive.
there’s like so many bowser horror things you can pull from, even like ink bowser fuckin
please
get me some turtle soup the level of Italian is killing my cholesterol
so footnotes, gonna show some new footage
1. overworld is fucked. luigi is virtually always about
2. the world is twisting to more resemble luigi too
like visually things are just weird as shit
further loops in the meantime.
the mushroom from the L block appears to be permanent?
well i get it at the start of each loop, auto applies
also i swear
some bg elements are just different now? loogie's more present too
alright, back on and did another loop.
colours appear to be getting darker atm? but same outcome as of rn, keep dying right at the end of the level before the goal.
will show off more changes as i progress.
now yes I’ve joked about it prior
but please do not use this as an excuse to demean or insult mr pixel’s own too late.exe
these are 2 very different stories made my 2 very different people
and one wouldn’t have come about without the other
please be respectful.
I really do think that separated from JC enough that 2017 could be the perfect modern reimagining of Sonic.EXE
As long as everyone’s able to let go of what was made in the past and make him something completely original and new
