SonicAllStars.exe

SonicAllStars.EXE (also known as Sonic.EXE All-Stars) is a complete remaster of Sonic.EXE, Sally.EXE and Rouge.EXE respectively. It was well-received by many Sonic.EXE fans, and is currently one of the few games that Devy has managed to complete.

## Development History

The first version of the game included the stages for Tails, Knuckles, Eggman, Amy and Cream. Upon finishing Cream's stage, the game fake-crashes before the Game Over screen, similar to Rouge.EXE.

Version 2 added the Black Rings to be collected. To ease time, Devy made different spawn points for the Black Ring Stage warps, and each character had to find their respective Black Rings to discover the secret ending of the game. From this version onwards, Sally, Rouge and Shadow's stages were added to the game, and unique screams were added for Tails and Knuckles. Voice-acting was added for the first time in this version, with Jordangaming101 voicing Sonic.EXE (SonicClone) and Andrastae voicing Sally.EXE in the game.

Version 3 introduced the Dark Red Rings for characters to collect. Knuckles, Cream and Shadow could each locate them by backtracking after getting so far in their respective stages, at the cost of an alternative death sequence. Finding all 3 would trigger an ending with a secret Japanese message.

Version 4 is currently the final major update to the game, adding features such as title cards for all the stages, a few Easter Eggs, as well as an update to the hidden Japanese message. This version of the game cannot be completed through normal means, due to a bug in You Can't Run warping the player to the wrong place. Also, after the Level Select was implemented, a secret anti-cheat system was implemented to prevent those using the Level Select from accessing the hidden endings. A third and final secret ending is added to this version onwards, accessible by obtaining all the Black Rings, but only two Dark Red Rings, within the levels. Updated screams were added for Eggman, Amy and Cream, while minor voice-acting was supplied with help from Ashlyn Wallace and Oldum77.

Version 4.2 added a Warning screen, a small menu, as well as a couple of new Easter eggs and a fix to a game-breaking bug.

## Reception

The game overall has been well-received by many fans of the creepypasta, with YouTuber SunFIRE seeing the game as "nostalgic" and an "awesome fangame". Even Mastered UI Kostas, a YouTuber who barely ever played Devy's .EXE games, began to play the game from Version 4 onwards. The Level Select code is a tribute towards YouTuber Luigikid Gaming, who played the entire game and discovered two of the three secret endings. Information about the third one was disclosed to him via email, but no video yet exists of him getting the final ending.

The game has also led to several fan-stories about the game, including a canon sidestory, and an official, yet incomplete, DLC for the game. A movie was even planned, but the script for said movie is incomplete and no animator has been found to help with making the movie.

However, the game has been criticized by some individuals, for the game just being a complete remake of 3 classics without any Good Ending. However, Good Endings weren't intended for the game, yet one of the secret endings would have carried over into the scrapped sequel.

Many fans, particularly those who are fans of Sonic.EXE Nightmare Beginning, criticized the game's true antagonist's design for being "too similar" to Chaos Hunter's duo-look within one of Continued Nightmare Eye of Three's secrets. However, this design was intentional, considering the backstory of said character.

An official remake by Nickbear (or SonicFan50002, as he's also known), who helped out in the game's development from Version 4 onwards, is currently in the works, aiming to make the game feel more like Sonic, and will also include all the hidden stages from the original Sonic.EXE, which Devy couldn't create, due to time constraints. This remake is also being worked on with Devy, which has been confirmed to use Sonic Mania's sprite style for the game.

## SonicAllStars2.EXE

SonicAllStars2.exe was a cancelled sequel that aimed to remake of Silver.EXE, Mighty.EXE and Whiskas.EXE. It revolved around a completely different demon and contained more lore than the first game. It was ultimately scrapped after Devy decided to leave the Sonic.EXE fanbase, being replaced by Sonic: Dark Abyss.

The game may be continued and reworked in the future.
