Tysm for recognizing LongestSoloEver's sonic.exe song, i barely see anyone talk about it. u don't know how happy i was when i recognized it when playing msm on my phone while playing this song in the bg
I like how Sonic.exe ends up losing not because of some random plot armor stuff, but because of an actual oversight, and eggman outsmarting him with his plan
i dont know if this was intentional or not, but the fact that eggman thinks of metal sonic as soon as the word "son" floats by in the background is such a nice little thing
@@omegaflowey9932Metal Sonic is treated as a son because Eggman becomes very fond of that robot. Because otherwise it is the case Eggman would have left Metal Sonic in Little Planet
It was likely that EXE didn't account for Metal Sonic since he, by technicality, didn't possess a soul. This allowed Eggman to plan an ambush tactic with Metal Sonic, who possessed the single strongest attack in the Classic Era: The Maximum Overdrive, which could burn through any material including the unbreakable spikes. Either way, well done on the thematic theme of the steel-plated Faker being the key to distract the blood-crying Faker.
Is Metal Sonic TRULY Evil, Because All it's doing is obeying it's creator, for all we know, it could be thinking it's doing the right thing by obeying eggman
fun fact: at 4:51 thats a character called glitch. hes suppossed to be an error with the pallete in sonic 3. (he was an character mod from sonic 3 air btw.)
I really love how after EXE was weakened/removed from Sonic, his design references an actual Sonic 3 glitch that messed up Sonic's pallette and made him look like Sonic.exe. That's some great attention to detail! Overall, this remix was incredible! Your music just in general is very good.
It's either based off of Sonic's messed up pallette in the Sonic 3 prototype before the SEGA text, or a glitch that can happen if you use debug mode after Sonic's victory pose in Launch Base zone.
After eggman died his eggmobile can be seen going back into background to probably get metal. Jus proves how smart Eggman really is and how much he trusts his tech to get the job done in time.
@@grassmechanics8581 I know where mecha came from. Mecha isn't as known thanks to not being used and as such it's thought that mecha was scraped and not to mention metal doesn't need the master emerald to be incredibly powerful. As much as I love mecha it makes more sense or metal because metal has more reasons to be in there.
A few bits I love 3:17 I love how somber and hopeless the music feels here, you feel like Tails and everyone's doom is imminent and there's nothing that can stop the darkness closing in around them But then you get a sudden shift in tone at 4:40 when Metal Sonic's eyes flash from within' the darkness and the melody becomes hopeful and triumphant again, you actually feel like they managed to pull through at the very last moment and everyone is saved. It's a very clever choice to use "What I'm made of" from Sonic Heroes here because it takes on a completely new meaning. It's no longer a song played for a boss you're fighting it's become a song about how you've broken free from your shackles and can't be toyed around with any longer, they're no longer bound by X's rules and are going to escape.
I know, right, kupo? "What I'm Made Of" in this feels like Metal saying to Sonic.exe, "I may not have a soul; but I am still a threat. You have power over souls. You have no power over me. You look like Sonic. You are not Sonic. I look like Sonic. I am not Sonic. I AM METAL SONIC! And now, it is time!" I mean, he's probably thinking it, kupo. After all, Eggman did punish him for what happened in Sonic Heroes, kupo. -Semas Boreal, Human/Moogle Alchemist
Also, I need to add (JJ: I don't need to but I wanna add) that Metal Sonic more than likely still has his own thoughts but he's still grounded, kupo. Or if this is Classic Metal Sonic, Classic Egghead probably heard what Modern Metal Sonic did in the future and future-proofed Classic Metal Sonic, kupo.
People usually underestimate Metal Sonic in .exe scenarios. He was created to be the definitive counter to Sonic himself by matching his speed, power and maybe even more in durability. Theoretically, X can torture all the other characters because they had souls, however Metal Sonic does not so he decided to not bother with him. He over looked Metal Sonic and that ultimately is what made him lose. He didn't account for how powerful Metal Sonic would be.
Most interpretations usually have Metal Sonic be this one time use get out of jail free card for Eggman to escape so to see him be used in a way that solves the conflict is interesting.
@@bsod8773Why are you mentioning that? It's not like it matters. Besides, Xenophanes isn't from fnf. Fnf was the first game to include Xenophanes, sure, but Xenophanes and fnf aren't completely connected.
I love the implication that the plan only worked because Eggman knew X would purposefully try to slowly kill Tails and make a show out of it, which would allow Metal plenty of time to arrive.
was rewatching this and noticed that at 4:59, eggman’s sprite actually changes a split second before it disappears, showing him shocked that metal sonic got hit, love that little detail!
I’d like to imagine eggman appearance is him monologuing that metal is the perfect machine and blah blah blah but cuts off the moment metal is hurt snd immediately retrieves him
i absolutely adore the way knuckles, eggman and metal were basically escorting tails up to when Sonic joined in, it really shows that when their world is at risk they will stick together as an army. Tails was never alone in this fight.
@@xJaaku How exactly can you disagree when the ending literally shows Metal Sonic PUSHING exe into the stratosphere to give Tails and the others a chance to escape? Learn to see with your eyes, not with your mouth.
@@fleshdadbot6852tbf while tails was running away, metal sonic was probably hot on X’s tail, and had caught up to him just moments before tails wouldve died
I absolutely ADORE the shift in the tone of the music at 2:35. It's like you can FEEL the fear and the need to run in the music and the more intense tone makes me think "oh, this is all they have left. He's the last one and all he can do now is SURVIVE."
Metal Sonic literally takes the W for this one. He is SO underrated in the EXE series, and I'm actually so happy he got acknowledged. This video is probably the BEST, if not, ONE of the best videos in the EXE fandom. Props to you for making this!
This is an awesome take on Final Escape. A very rare instance of Sonic.exe related material that not only respects the sonic universe as a whole but also gives it a fair and canon reason as to how X could be defeated even with all that power. Amazing work!
Yeah, it fits with the actual reason most EXE's lose: they let their power go to their head, and think they're invincible. Meaning that people can take advantage of this.
Strongly agree. Good to see that characters from canon classic Sonic era are being used (Vector, Mighty, Classic Amy and Espio) instead of ones that are sort of anachronistic or not from this canon (Modern/Fleetway Amy, Cream and Sally Acorn).
This is one of, if not the best rendition of final escape, the triumphant feeling the last minute has combined with the stunning art gave me chills, amazing job!!!!!!!!!!
Oh please, it's not a hero if you consider fighting, killing kidnaping and stuff, not because of 1 time he EXECUTED ORDERS eggman program in his soft ware it makes him a hero, more like a weapon or defend his creator thing which are still orders
@@SanonixFastTimeeggman did change his mind in this au and probably repurposed metal to save them. Maybe eggman wasn’t a bad dude after all? Everyone made it out alive cause of eggman making metal saving them
@@Jupiterwupiter nah not really as we all know it, eggman just take the benefit of helping sonic in major stuff, and then go back to what he usually do, it's for his own skin... heck even IDW tells you how this egghead is
@@Brendan-kx8iy I actually am making my own exe world now and it actually has blaze be one of the few still alive as her, sliver, charmy, and espio are hiding in the sol dimension
I love how he uses classic characters instead of Sally and Cream, they look better, as well as using the classic design of Amy. He understood what a sonic.exe game should have, no doubt a great job. Edit: i LOVE the reference to "Play With Me"
Yeah I never understood why some people used them when there's plenty of canon classic characters to use instead of some cartoon OC and a modern character.
DUDDEEEEEE. DUDE. THis is the first ever EXE take that I have ever seen besdies my own friend's exe that actually pays respect to the source material AND DOES SOMETHING ORIGINAL WITH IT. I cannot decribe how happy iw as to see how Metal stepped in and how everyone were not victims to X. This is so fucking cool
Dunno why it took me so long to find this. But it's absolutely sublime! Lowkey feels like how a sort of "canon" version of sonic.exe would be handled. Playing into the horror a bit but not going super over the top with it. I especially loved all the little motifs you threw in there (especially so with the play with me part) Keep up the great work!
This was a whole experience, but the "What I made of..." bit killed me, because it's my favourite boss theme in the whole franchise..... That's right here is the BEST "Final Escape" in my personal opinion. Even the official one is lacking in comparison
@@NeclirGo I do agree this is my new favorite version of final escape My favorite FNF one tho has to be anjer's metal remix cuz I LOVE their take on fnf vocals
@@pixelate609i like the oficial full version because shows how xeno tries to play a last game with him before killing him , but it gets out of his hands and there's nothing he can do
The whole thing is magnificent. Having the characters each be taken down in ways similar to how they were in the game, having Knuckles turn around when running and attacking the mirages, the Blue Spheres easter egg screen with X and Tails being the only two alive, Then the climax with Metal and all of them fighting back to stop him. The best part had to be at 4:00 with Tails falling in place around the souls of his lost friends and the box closing on him like it did Sally in the game. Such a masterpiece.
1 year later, and this is STILL the best take of "Final Escape" that has ever been made. Where do I even begin? First off, I love how you put in the effort to make it seem like an actual in-game battle! Most takes don't show full sprite animation throughout the entire video, I absolutely love it! For Eggman's part, I love how he plans Metal Sonic's appearance since the very start. Eggman knew he wasn't gonna survive, so he sent Metal Sonic to ambush when X was caught off guard towards the end. I also love that when Knuckles' part starts, the eggmobile falls into the abyss in the background. It's a neat detail. For Knuckles' part, I admittedly think it's a little too boring. I like how Knuckles fights X, but I feel like there isn't much life to how Knuckles just walks into him. Knuckles should have punched X before he fades away, and I feel there should have been more going on like Eggman looking into the distance and Tails seeing X imitate Sonic in their parts. It's still good, though. For Tails' part, I kinda wanted to see Tails fly in some way. Even just to dodge X, or anything like a little few seconds lasting detail. Also, in the part when Tails is seen with X and all the dead characters, I don't think I saw Amy there. Knuckles, Eggman, Mighty, Vector, and Espio can be seen, but not Amy. It's just a slight oversight, but other than that, flawless! I love it! Now for the final part: Metal Sonic. Holy christ, Metal Sonic was used PERFECTLY here! I genuinely love how you gave the characters a canonical and sensible way to defeat X by using Metal Sonic as an ambush! X doesn't account for Metal Sonic because he doesn't have a soul, which ends up being the one mistake ending in his demise. Perfectly set up, perfectly used, perfectly ended. I also love how Metal Sonic isn't "overpowered" in this take. He's not able to kill X, but catch him off guard and knock Sonic's soul out of X, setting the other souls free, and giving everyone time to make a run towards the end, being the red ring. I love how even Sonic ends up surviving all of this, making a beeline for the end with his friends. The final thing I'd like to note is that this genuinely makes this all feel canon. This feels like if the characters were actually in this scenario in the Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles era of the games, this is what would happen! Eggman saving and helping Sonic and his friends in this video feels really canonical given this scenario. I just genuinely love the thought and detail put into this video! Also, I think it goes without saying the music itself is faithful to the original classic Sonic games, which is why I haven't mentioned it. It's perfect, I have literally no criticism on the music and sounds part of this video! Outstanding job! Oh, and just a fun fact: This was uploaded on June 22nd. My birthday is June 21st. It's just kinda funny to me, LOL!
there's something about seeing the main cast actually win and survive, including sonic himself, that got me so hyped to the point of getting emotional. Not a single piece of EXE media has ever come close to making me feel hyped like this one has. Outstanding job, genuinely < 3
More sonic.exe media needs to do stuff like this honestly. It's all just "ooo character dies ooooo spooky did u piss urself yet oooo" It's mid. It has no actual SUBSTANCE. But THIS? This is good.
@@joshuaculler717i think we need some sort of Sonic.exe fangame that has Sonic.exe be an ACTUAL Sonic villain in that world, no bloody gory stuff, no killing characters, just showing off the sheer power that X could have over the world of Sonic and how much of a tough situation that would be for the main characters, think of it like if Sonic Team made a Sonic game with their own version of Sonic.exe in it, how would that go? how would the zones be structured? there is so much to be done with that concept
@@kaxcommentssomethingREAL I was gonna make a story like that: it's kind of a Spot moment, where Sonic's "nemesis" is a joke villain, but he gets a hyper form that's super powerful, and now all classic characters have to unite to defeat him.
@@kaxcommentssomethingREALSo, a villain that: -Enjoys terrorizing other characters -Matches/Surpasses the heroes in power -Has the ability to alter reality to its whim Sorry to disappoint but, that's just Infinite my guy.
i love how instead of cream and sally, its the chaotix, it makes so SO much more sense to add them instead because they're actually part of the classic games
@@handlename88if you ever played Knuckles Chaotix you would know that Charmy is the fastest being alive on the classic games due to them torpedo-ing around the levels with ease without the need to go down to the ground like Tails, so if anything Charmy is just getting out of the stratosphere as the whole exe thingy happens
@@Uhhhhpenguinray barely existed in the classic games besides segasonic, so he probably doesn’t even exist in this universe. However if i were to take a guess then X probably overlooked ray and forgot about him which lead to ray being able to escape.
It was Sonic that told Metal "You may know everything I'm going to do, but that's not gonna help you since I know everything you're going to do!" Some demon obviously wouldn't be exempt from that clause.
Ok so I absolutely love this animation so I wanna take a few minutes to talk about how good this is. First, the level of detail. There are little touches to this I loved like Sonic exe using the insta shield to break eggman's eggmobile, The lives being the character's First letter like Mania's encore, Tails icon flashing as he's the "final life", the fact the score is not just blank and actually has a amount to it, the timer being broken, and the game being called "Sonic.exe" when the game seems to crash. Also I love that the Sonic exe separated form has the sonic 3 ending palette glitch. Great touch. Second thing, I like that the way Tails and the other's won made sense. Having Metal Sonic ambush Sonic exe while he's distracted and basically make him "lose a life" to separate him from Sonic's body was not only a smart idea but also makes sense game wise, as it would make sense that if Sonic was being controlled by Sonic exe that making sonic exe "lose a life" would separate him from sonic's body. Much like how you lose a powerup after dying. Lastly I gotta give props to the animation itself, while yes most of the sprites were used from official sprite sheets and not made just for this video they were used smartly and done in a way that made it feel natural. Not once while watching then I feel like something was off or shouldn't have been there. And plus the way it was animated really made it feel like a sonic game. The way they moved jumped and turned during the animation felt as it should and never felt floaty or uncanny. Overall, amazing animation. This is a great video and I can't wait to see if you'll do more animations in the future.
@@Rodri117technically people can do whatever they want so you technically can't stop them if they remixed this and made their own version and you can't stop them 😂
holy shit, the amount of motifs in this song honestly blows me away, the song, pixel art and animation are all GORGEOUS, the story as well in this was super sick idk how you made an fnf song into a non-fnf song and make it work SO WELL, but i applaud you for it, cause this is sick this might be the best sonic.exe thing ive seen in a while also 3:38 OH MY GOD PLAY WITH ME THERE'S NO WAY LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love this take on the song, and there are A LOT of reasons why. I'm not gonna list them here, since it may be a bit long. Though, I also like the tribute to Sonic.exe and Sonic as a whole here, and I love how the last form is based off of that one Sonic 3 color palette glitch. I mean, it does look very similar to Sonic.exe, after all.
@@LadyCorthon It'd most likely be a long list and I'd have to break down the entire thing to see what I like lmao, even if I already have stuff that I like from this
Bonus points is that he's a robot, so technically he doesn't have a soul to begin with. Exe also barely knowledged his existence and the fact exe overestimated his abilities due to his sheer amounts of ego in which metal took advantage of is just the cherry on the top.
Also he even referenced heroes at 5:00 *”TRY TO REACH INSIDE OF ME, TRY TO TAKE ME ENERGY, LET ME SHOW YOU JUST WHAT I’M MADE OF. SIMPLE CURIOSITY, TRIES TO TAKE A BITE OF ME, LET ME SHOW YOU JUST WHAT I’M MADE OF NOWWWWWWWWWW”*
@@ultimatemonkey5886 Yeah, ain't nobody tryna here a random fucking autistic 4 year old making random noises into a microphone for the duration of the songs.
0:01 SEGA 0:51 Eggman chase 1:11 Sonic.exe disappears 1:30 Knuckle chase 1:50 Knuckles banging 2:10 No way? No way! 2:34 Tails chase 2:54 Sonic.exe reappears 3:14 FATAL ERROR 3:39 PLAY WITH ME 4:38 Metal Sonic appears 4:59 Everyone escapes
I love how like how he might have tried to mod the game cause it’s tag team sonic instead of regular and every time one gets caught a symbol disappears like when it switches to knuckles at 1:34 there’s no eggman
@@tiaragutierrez5655it is a thing that sucks yeah, mecha has a lot of potential If you want spooky content featuring mecha i highly recommend Scrapnik Island for that
absolutely love how x's original form here is the glitched big arms sonic color palette, and the final motif used when everyone is getting away is 'what im made of' from sonic heroes, as a way to point out that if it wasnt for metal sonic everyone wouldve been screwed incredible stuff all around! absolutely loving the new wave of non-fnf sonic exe redos, so much creativity by sonic fans for sonic fans
Okay, I absolutely adore this take on Sonic.EXE- As a matter of fact, I adore the presentation of it all. The intro makes this feel like a legitimate it takes place in a Sonic game. Like- if this were a game, I'd want to play it just from vibes alone.
One, live the chiptune rendition of final escape, but I also love that Metal Sonic was the one to distract Exe long enough for everyone else to escape. No plot armor, no bullshit, just pure Eggman genius.
That finale was fantastic. The key change coupled with V. Overdrive suddenly boring into Exe's chest was an excellent use of Chekov's gun - gave me chills. I loved the use of the TMNT brass, harkening back to the use of the orchestra hit that's been there from the start, helping to tie it all together. I saw the post on Twitter when you were first teasing this, and was totally hooked by that intro. It was great having the finished product be recommended to me.
Tradução em Português:você quer brincar comigo?... um jogo simples de esconde-esconde?... feche os olhos e conte até três... mantenha isso interessante para MIM...

I always adored this song. The familiar tones of a sonic track, some you can idfioety turned into a struggle. EXE is dominating most of the track, a desperate dash that you arnt even sure you'll make it to the end until the end where it turns triumphant, a light rendition of a ever powerful sonic track, What Im Made of. The music leading you onto to the final escape.
This went from being one of the worst creepy pastas of all time to having millions of fans, an entire community and knockoff plushies. This fandom has come so far, and it keeps expanding every day. That’s why I love this community. The lore, the fans, and everyone who works on it Edit: hey Rodri? What did you use to edit this
I still hate the concept, im bitter to its existence considering its origins was some shit even its creator and how much it had to scare me shitless as a kid. Looking at a community entirely based around it feels wrong to me.
@@Whatever-pb2dymain reason why it has an entire community surrounding it I think is because sonic.exe has potential to actually be good, like you see in this video, and people see the potential it has and start to become fascinated with it and try to make it better. I mean just look at all the shit in the community it’s mostly OC’s and shit mostly because people want to make this terrible excuse of a story into something good.
@handlename88 yeah, the creator did bad stuff and the story sucks but people want to try to fix it and I swear I can’t see a problem with it,unless you want it to remain bad forever,people trying to fix it up making pretty interesting concepts with it is awesome (Sonic Pc port,EYX,and Needlemouse are good examples of this) (also has anyone ever heard the term *separating the art from the artist* although to be fair the original art wasn’t originally good in the first place but we also want to make it good)
I love this a lot, honestly. Everything feels just right; the vibe, the anti-piracy screen at the beginning with its transition to EXE on it (side note, why does the beginning of Final Escape feel like an anti-piracy theme), and everything in between.
I was going into this expecting another random Final Escape cover I was just gonna forget about but I was so wrong this legitimately blew me away, I would’ve never expected actual animation and story, and the music was just absolutely beautiful in so many ways. I’m actually glad it wasn’t FNF related (as in no vocals), I think that really just sells the entire animation for it to be just pure instrumental genuinely fantastic work, you’ve earned my sub immediately Edit: (also the fact this is all in Sony Vegas is actually fucking insane, bravo on that part as well)
The remix, animation and how it doesn't go through the common "decrepit burning world of unbeatable eldritch demon" or having any direct connection to FNF is one thing, but What I'm Made Of kicking off at the very end *and sounding like that was the cherry on top of everything*. You really deserve all the traction you getting from this :)
@@sashawaybright2698or better yet. They should obey themselves (aka decide what THEY want to do) instead of obeying fans and doing something they don't want to do.
So wait, you're telling me that what I just saw WASN'T the ENCORE?! That's the good ending there!!! But really, great job man, not with just the song, but the spritework too! I loved every moment of this! This is going in my watch later forever!
Ok, this is an amazing remix and it sounds like something out of the actual genesis era- but the VISUALS! It looks authentic like it's a recording of a game, and it's just to showcase a song! I absolutely adore the incorporation of Encore Mode mechanics from Sonic Mania, and all the visual references to past Sonic games with the twisted Sonic.EXE spin on them is really cool to see, the "Play With Me" reference gave me nostalgia I didn't even know I had, and the Sally.EXE reference... ohh, that takes me back. The ending featuring the ENTIRE cast of the classic games (with sprites, anyhow) is something I've never seen anything Sonic.EXE related do, so even if it's just a series of cameos it's still a first for this fandom to my knowledge, and EXE's last appearance being Sonic 3's sprites with Sonic 2's palette is a deep cut I was not ready for. There's just so much to admire, I wish there were more animations like this one.
I have been coming back to this every few days since it released, watching it multiple times every time (i did the same thing with confronting yourself, which correct me if i'm wrong, but i assume is the prologue to this?), and it blows me away every time. The entire composition and pacing of the song, the storytelling both in the presentation AND in the meaning of the melodies and leitmotifs you chose?? Absolutely phenomenal. Hands down one of my favorite sonic.exe anythings. I also have my theories for why metal was able to catch X off guard (im not sure if this is xenophanes or just sonic.exe 2011 so i'll just call him X), but it sounds a bit silly to write down lmao. I'll just say it is refreshing to see them like..actually win for once? I understand the hopelessness is the point in sonic.exe, but it gets a bit rote when it comes to an actual narrative. Its why Spirits of Hell/Sally.exe is still one of my favorite versions of the story, simply bc u know..they can fight back. So its good to see the "final escape" concept applied to the souls and not just boyfriend!! Anyway, great job, cannot wait till your next release, whatevwr that may be. Ps. The fact this was all sprite editing in sony vegas blows my goddamn mind. You're getting leaps and bounds better too with each animation!!
@@fleshdadbot6852 hmm i think its relatively simple? Metal isnt alive, and therefore he has no soul. While X was distractrd with his games, it gave metal enough time to get fixed up and to knock his ass out.
Loved how you put so much detail and references to the video. But overall, I’m surprised of how you mixed other musics together in such a creative way. You’re crazy man, shout-out to everyone who worked on this!!
I love the small motifs in here, some of “His World” and what I assume to be a hint of “Sonic 2 8-bit’s Bad Ending Theme” during the Tails segment all were really well placed, and don’t get me started on the “What I’m Made Of” segment after Metal attacks Sonic and we get to see the Chaotix and Amy run by goes so hard.
This is actually peak. The fact that you used the glitched pallete from Sonic 3 to represent X when he's not possessing Sonic is incredibly creative. AND the song is SO good. And the section at 3:58 OH MY GOD Absolutely awesome, 10/10
@@handlename88 I know it's like that in the original lore, but it's implied here by Sonic dropping down when X glitches that he was possessing Sonic in *this* lore.
i love that sonic.exe in the knuckles part isnt just that pose of him standing menancily and that there is him taunting knuckles and doing the same pose as knuckles like he is ready to fight its a nice detail
I just wanna say, I fucking love everything about this. From the storyline and Metal's big moment, to the motifs used throughout the song, to the incredible spritework... Every piece of this was meticulously crafted, and it shows. Amazing work, thank you for this bliss to the eyes.
Well, I know what I’m gonna have on repeat for the next few days. I love how this looks and sounds, especially with the little stylistic flourishes (in particular eggman’s dialogue and final cut-in and the use of the “No Way? No Way!” screen). All that _and_ a good story, to boot? I think this turned out phenomenally. Well done!
@@whybother5741 Alright. Hedgehogs are the “special” ones. They’re just always end up with more abilities than the others. That’s right. “We’re Sonic Racism!” - Sonic Heroes
the fact that eggman was the one who ran the most being a callback to how he was faster than sonic in the classic games actually made me love this video
I have a theory, a few actually. 1. Eggman and knuckles died around the same time, when sonic.exe dissapeared from eggman, he probably went to fight knuckles, and when knuckles punches him, they are flashing grey which means they could be clones. This may hint towards them being clones and sonic.exe finishing eggman, then killing knuckles. 2. There is a slight chance that tails could have been the first vicitim, but sonic.exe wanted to play with him a little more so he collected the other souls, which is why it could have taken so long, also it looks like the victims are in order. 3. The figures at the bottom of the souls seem to be might and amy, hinting that these could be the next victims, which may be obvious but it also could be saying that sonic.exe is attacking them currently. 4. When metal fights sonic.exe, knuckles and eggman may be reviving or exe may be losing control of them, and when sonics soul is released so is eggmans and knuckles, which means they are in control again or revived. This may be why eggman was watching metal, but this could also say that went eggman thought of metal, he may of also been communicating his plan to metal. 5. The characters that ran past tails could have been future victims, and we do see mighty and amy, that or they are their for fun. Thank you for reading, also don’t take it like this is the true lore, it’s just a theory, not a game theory but a youtube theory! (Goodbye matpat 😢)

WHERES THE BALDI BASICS SONG
Tysm for recognizing LongestSoloEver's sonic.exe song, i barely see anyone talk about it. u don't know how happy i was when i recognized it when playing msm on my phone while playing this song in the bg
i felt more fear acting like i was playing it more than watching it like actually pressing keybinds but with the keyboard desconnected obviusly
I like how Sonic.exe ends up losing not because of some random plot armor stuff, but because of an actual oversight, and eggman outsmarting him with his plan
I’m a bit confused… what was the oversight exactly? Was metal sonic stronger than exe or something?
@@AstraSilverhornhe didn’t expect Metal sonic to even BE there
@@AstraSilverhorn exe probably discounted Metal completely and it was less he was stronger and more was able to take exe off guard
If Sonic.exe is the God of his realm, any survival is either his game plan or plot armor.
@@imfullofsandwichesandimcom2301 ...Gods are not Omnipotent. Plus, each version of Sonic.exe varies in power
i dont know if this was intentional or not, but the fact that eggman thinks of metal sonic as soon as the word "son" floats by in the background is such a nice little thing
it wasn't intentional
but that's cool
Eggman also makes a surprised look when X hits Metal Sonic before catching him.
Or it could be the word hedgehog
Because eggman created metal sonic making metal sonic the son of eggman
@@omegaflowey9932Metal Sonic is treated as a son because Eggman becomes very fond of that robot.
Because otherwise it is the case

It was likely that EXE didn't account for Metal Sonic since he, by technicality, didn't possess a soul. This allowed Eggman to plan an ambush tactic with Metal Sonic, who possessed the single strongest attack in the Classic Era: The Maximum Overdrive, which could burn through any material including the unbreakable spikes.
Either way, well done on the thematic theme of the steel-plated Faker being the key to distract the blood-crying Faker.

Luckily, there was no need for a turbo this time.

did anyone else notice that in 4:50 X loses sonic's soul and vessel which is why he looks like a glitch?(which is also why sonic appears at the end)
Whoa
Wow, i didn't even notice that. I was wondering why sonic was there
fun fact: at 4:51 thats a character called glitch. hes suppossed to be an error with the pallete in sonic 3. (he was an character mod from sonic 3 air btw.)
I actually noticed it on my second watch of the video.
I noticed after some watches myself
I really love how after EXE was weakened/removed from Sonic, his design references an actual Sonic 3 glitch that messed up Sonic's pallette and made him look like Sonic.exe. That's some great attention to detail!
Overall, this remix was incredible! Your music just in general is very good.
It's either based off of Sonic's messed up pallette in the Sonic 3 prototype before the SEGA text, or a glitch that can happen if you use debug mode after Sonic's victory pose in Launch Base zone.
Which glitch

After eggman died his eggmobile can be seen going back into background to probably get metal. Jus proves how smart Eggman really is and how much he trusts his tech to get the job done in time.
Bro fr got that emergency protocol ready.

@@grassmechanics8581 may you explain better? Are you talking over metal sonic or the eggmobile?
@@Chroma-lk2ip I mean, Mecha sonic MK2 because of the art style. It’s mostly Sonic three-ish by the way Mark two came from sonic three and knuckles.
@@grassmechanics8581 I know where mecha came from. Mecha isn't as known thanks to not being used and as such it's thought that mecha was scraped and not to mention metal doesn't need the master emerald to be incredibly powerful. As much as I love mecha it makes more sense or metal because metal has more reasons to be in there.
A few bits I love
3:17 I love how somber and hopeless the music feels here, you feel like Tails and everyone's doom is imminent and there's nothing that can stop the darkness closing in around them
But then you get a sudden shift in tone at 4:40 when Metal Sonic's eyes flash from within' the darkness and the melody becomes hopeful and triumphant again, you actually feel like they managed to pull through at the very last moment and everyone is saved.
It's a very clever choice to use "What I'm made of" from Sonic Heroes here because it takes on a completely new meaning. It's no longer a song played for a boss you're fighting it's become a song about how you've broken free from your shackles and can't be toyed around with any longer, they're no longer bound by X's rules and are going to escape.
I know, right, kupo? "What I'm Made Of" in this feels like Metal saying to Sonic.exe, "I may not have a soul; but I am still a threat. You have power over souls. You have no power over me. You look like Sonic. You are not Sonic. I look like Sonic. I am not Sonic. I AM METAL SONIC! And now, it is time!" I mean, he's probably thinking it, kupo. After all, Eggman did punish him for what happened in Sonic Heroes, kupo.
-Semas Boreal, Human/Moogle Alchemist
i mentioned 4:40 in my comment so i like it too
4:50 YEAH! It's WORKING!
4:59 "OH SHOOT GOTTA GRAB METAL"
Also, I need to add (JJ: I don't need to but I wanna add) that Metal Sonic more than likely still has his own thoughts but he's still grounded, kupo. Or if this is Classic Metal Sonic, Classic Egghead probably heard what Modern Metal Sonic did in the future and future-proofed Classic Metal Sonic, kupo.
People usually underestimate Metal Sonic in .exe scenarios. He was created to be the definitive counter to Sonic himself by matching his speed, power and maybe even more in durability.
Theoretically, X can torture all the other characters because they had souls, however Metal Sonic does not so he decided to not bother with him. He over looked Metal Sonic and that ultimately is what made him lose. He didn't account for how powerful Metal Sonic would be.
Most interpretations usually have Metal Sonic be this one time use get out of jail free card for Eggman to escape so to see him be used in a way that solves the conflict is interesting.

@@spacecatalienbin2553 it actually is final escape if fnf song and demon in this song is xenophanes
I love the implication that the plan only worked because Eggman knew X would purposefully try to slowly kill Tails and make a show out of it, which would allow Metal plenty of time to arrive.
Not only that, but also a bit of confidence that Tails and Knuckles would take a while to actually be caught by him, buying more time
Demon or not, he's still Sonic
Dude lost to metal because he wasn’t thinking about him coming even tho he has Sonic,s speed bro failed at his job
I agree
was rewatching this and noticed that at 4:59, eggman’s sprite actually changes a split second before it disappears, showing him shocked that metal sonic got hit, love that little detail!
Yeah same
I’d like to imagine eggman appearance is him monologuing that metal is the perfect machine and blah blah blah but cuts off the moment metal is hurt snd immediately retrieves him
i absolutely adore the way knuckles, eggman and metal were basically escorting tails up to when Sonic joined in, it really shows that when their world is at risk they will stick together as an army. Tails was never alone in this fight.
Disagree on the last sentence.

@@xJaaku How exactly can you disagree when the ending literally shows Metal Sonic PUSHING exe into the stratosphere to give Tails and the others a chance to escape? Learn to see with your eyes, not with your mouth.
Gonna play devil's advocate here, maybe they mean the part where miles is running away from X alone before metal sonic appears
@@fleshdadbot6852tbf while tails was running away, metal sonic was probably hot on X’s tail, and had caught up to him just moments before tails wouldve died
I absolutely ADORE the shift in the tone of the music at 2:35.
It's like you can FEEL the fear and the need to run in the music and the more intense tone makes me think "oh, this is all they have left. He's the last one and all he can do now is SURVIVE."
Metal Sonic literally takes the W for this one. He is SO underrated in the EXE series, and I'm actually so happy he got acknowledged. This video is probably the BEST, if not, ONE of the best videos in the EXE fandom. Props to you for making this!
I do kinda like how Metal didn't beat X, but mealy knocked Sonic's soul free. It's a great way to weaken X without making Metal overpowered.

Strongly agree. Good to see that characters from canon classic Sonic era are being used (Vector, Mighty, Classic Amy and Espio) instead of ones that are sort of anachronistic or not from this canon (Modern/Fleetway Amy, Cream and Sally Acorn).

@@pixelate609i like the oficial full version because shows how xeno tries to play a last game with him before killing him , but it gets out of his hands and there's nothing he can do
The whole thing is magnificent. Having the characters each be taken down in ways similar to how they were in the game, having Knuckles turn around when running and attacking the mirages, the Blue Spheres easter egg screen with X and Tails being the only two alive, Then the climax with Metal and all of them fighting back to stop him. The best part had to be at 4:00 with Tails falling in place around the souls of his lost friends and the box closing on him like it did Sally in the game. Such a masterpiece.
As it should be. Fuck that Archie comic shyte
1 year later, and this is STILL the best take of "Final Escape" that has ever been made.
Where do I even begin? First off, I love how you put in the effort to make it seem like an actual in-game battle! Most takes don't show full sprite animation throughout the entire video, I absolutely love it!
For Eggman's part, I love how he plans Metal Sonic's appearance since the very start. Eggman knew he wasn't gonna survive, so he sent Metal Sonic to ambush when X was caught off guard towards the end. I also love that when Knuckles' part starts, the eggmobile falls into the abyss in the background. It's a neat detail.
For Knuckles' part, I admittedly think it's a little too boring. I like how Knuckles fights X, but I feel like there isn't much life to how Knuckles just walks into him. Knuckles should have punched X before he fades away, and I feel there should have been more going on like Eggman looking into the distance and Tails seeing X imitate Sonic in their parts. It's still good, though.
For Tails' part, I kinda wanted to see Tails fly in some way. Even just to dodge X, or anything like a little few seconds lasting detail. Also, in the part when Tails is seen with X and all the dead characters, I don't think I saw Amy there. Knuckles, Eggman, Mighty, Vector, and Espio can be seen, but not Amy. It's just a slight oversight, but other than that, flawless! I love it!
Now for the final part: Metal Sonic. Holy christ, Metal Sonic was used PERFECTLY here! I genuinely love how you gave the characters a canonical and sensible way to defeat X by using Metal Sonic as an ambush! X doesn't account for Metal Sonic because he doesn't have a soul, which ends up being the one mistake ending in his demise. Perfectly set up, perfectly used, perfectly ended. I also love how Metal Sonic isn't "overpowered" in this take. He's not able to kill X, but catch him off guard and knock Sonic's soul out of X, setting the other souls free, and giving everyone time to make a run towards the end, being the red ring. I love how even Sonic ends up surviving all of this, making a beeline for the end with his friends.
The final thing I'd like to note is that this genuinely makes this all feel canon. This feels like if the characters were actually in this scenario in the Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles era of the games, this is what would happen! Eggman saving and helping Sonic and his friends in this video feels really canonical given this scenario. I just genuinely love the thought and detail put into this video!
Also, I think it goes without saying the music itself is faithful to the original classic Sonic games, which is why I haven't mentioned it. It's perfect, I have literally no criticism on the music and sounds part of this video! Outstanding job!
Oh, and just a fun fact: This was uploaded on June 22nd. My birthday is June 21st. It's just kinda funny to me, LOL!
Y know Amy is there right? You’re talking about the longest solo ever seen right?
Bottom right
It’s kinda hard to make out
there's something about seeing the main cast actually win and survive, including sonic himself, that got me so hyped to the point of getting emotional. Not a single piece of EXE media has ever come close to making me feel hyped like this one has. Outstanding job, genuinely < 3

It was Sonic that told Metal "You may know everything I'm going to do, but that's not gonna help you since I know everything you're going to do!"
Some demon obviously wouldn't be exempt from that clause.
Ok so I absolutely love this animation so I wanna take a few minutes to talk about how good this is.
First, the level of detail. There are little touches to this I loved like Sonic exe using the insta shield to break eggman's eggmobile, The lives being the character's First letter like Mania's encore, Tails icon flashing as he's the "final life", the fact the score is not just blank and actually has a amount to it, the timer being broken, and the game being called "Sonic.exe" when the game seems to crash. Also I love that the Sonic exe separated form has the sonic 3 ending palette glitch. Great touch.
Second thing, I like that the way Tails and the other's won made sense. Having Metal Sonic ambush Sonic exe while he's distracted and basically make him "lose a life" to separate him from Sonic's body was not only a smart idea but also makes sense game wise, as it would make sense that if Sonic was being controlled by Sonic exe that making sonic exe "lose a life" would separate him from sonic's body. Much like how you lose a powerup after dying.
Lastly I gotta give props to the animation itself, while yes most of the sprites were used from official sprite sheets and not made just for this video they were used smartly and done in a way that made it feel natural. Not once while watching then I feel like something was off or shouldn't have been there. And plus the way it was animated really made it feel like a sonic game. The way they moved jumped and turned during the animation felt as it should and never felt floaty or uncanny.
Overall, amazing animation. This is a great video and I can't wait to see if you'll do more animations in the future.
I wish i could pin this
The only thing I think could use some tweaks is the scene where .exe's taunting Knuckles.

yez
This is fire! Literally too! An ending to a canon Sonic.exe story could be made similiar to this masterpiece :)
I absolutely loved the sprite work! Loved the detail that was put into all of this :D

00:31 bro started vibing to his own music💀
Bro was not vibing he was just matching the beat of the song as if they were in fnf in their own pose
Nah, he's just enjoying it
@@sonictheblockhog5780 i know,just a meme
@@EvanAnimatioons but the music is really good,we all have to agree on this
I dont blame him
I would do the same
I always adored this song. The familiar tones of a sonic track, some you can idfioety turned into a struggle. EXE is dominating most of the track, a desperate dash that you arnt even sure you'll make it to the end until the end where it turns triumphant, a light rendition of a ever powerful sonic track, What Im Made of. The music leading you onto to the final escape.
3:15 the definition of saved by the bell
Nah, that would be 4:38
No no you both have a point
i loved the part where sonic.exe said "im gonna exe" and exe'd on everyone. truly the exe of all time
I think the real Sonic.EXE was the friends we made along the way
@@MushroomyPlayzYT lol
metal says "nuh uh"
I love when metal sonic is portrayed as the last resort in most exe content
This went from being one of the worst creepy pastas of all time to having millions of fans, an entire community and knockoff plushies.
This fandom has come so far, and it keeps expanding every day. That’s why I love this community. The lore, the fans, and everyone who works on it
Edit: hey Rodri? What did you use to edit this
and the knockoff plushies
I still hate the concept, im bitter to its existence considering its origins was some shit even its creator and how much it had to scare me shitless as a kid.
Looking at a community entirely based around it feels wrong to me.
@@Whatever-pb2dymain reason why it has an entire community surrounding it I think is because sonic.exe has potential to actually be good, like you see in this video, and people see the potential it has and start to become fascinated with it and try to make it better. I mean just look at all the shit in the community it’s mostly OC’s and shit mostly because people want to make this terrible excuse of a story into something good.
@handlename88 yeah, the creator did bad stuff and the story sucks but people want to try to fix it and I swear I can’t see a problem with it,unless you want it to remain bad forever,people trying to fix it up making pretty interesting concepts with it is awesome (Sonic Pc port,EYX,and Needlemouse are good examples of this) (also has anyone ever heard the term *separating the art from the artist* although to be fair the original art wasn’t originally good in the first place but we also want to make it good)
@@Whatever-pb2dyBut it lead to amazing things such as the sonic.exe nightmare version series of games, the spirits of hell games and Sonic PC
I love this a lot, honestly. Everything feels just right; the vibe, the anti-piracy screen at the beginning with its transition to EXE on it (side note, why does the beginning of Final Escape feel like an anti-piracy theme), and everything in between.
I was going into this expecting another random Final Escape cover I was just gonna forget about but I was so wrong
this legitimately blew me away, I would’ve never expected actual animation and story, and the music was just absolutely beautiful in so many ways. I’m actually glad it wasn’t FNF related (as in no vocals), I think that really just sells the entire animation for it to be just pure instrumental
genuinely fantastic work, you’ve earned my sub immediately
Edit: (also the fact this is all in Sony Vegas is actually fucking insane, bravo on that part as well)
i didnt really understand the plot
@@adiaphorous1733 bloodthirsty demon manchild wanna kill fictional characters
@@adiaphorous1733my first time watching it and I understood perfectly.
The remix, animation and how it doesn't go through the common "decrepit burning world of unbeatable eldritch demon" or having any direct connection to FNF is one thing, but What I'm Made Of kicking off at the very end *and sounding like that was the cherry on top of everything*. You really deserve all the traction you getting from this :)
I think something a lot of people ignore or just don’t talk about is the thumbnail. It’s so fucking cool just like this whole video.
THIS IS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL. AND THAT ENDING!!!! DAMMM!!!!!

@@thatshyfox9480is that an undertale undyne refrence!!??? real!!!!??
So wait, you're telling me that what I just saw WASN'T the ENCORE?! That's the good ending there!!!
But really, great job man, not with just the song, but the spritework too! I loved every moment of this! This is going in my watch later forever!
Ok, this is an amazing remix and it sounds like something out of the actual genesis era- but the VISUALS! It looks authentic like it's a recording of a game, and it's just to showcase a song! I absolutely adore the incorporation of Encore Mode mechanics from Sonic Mania, and all the visual references to past Sonic games with the twisted Sonic.EXE spin on them is really cool to see, the "Play With Me" reference gave me nostalgia I didn't even know I had, and the Sally.EXE reference... ohh, that takes me back. The ending featuring the ENTIRE cast of the classic games (with sprites, anyhow) is something I've never seen anything Sonic.EXE related do, so even if it's just a series of cameos it's still a first for this fandom to my knowledge, and EXE's last appearance being Sonic 3's sprites with Sonic 2's palette is a deep cut I was not ready for. There's just so much to admire, I wish there were more animations like this one.
I have been coming back to this every few days since it released, watching it multiple times every time (i did the same thing with confronting yourself, which correct me if i'm wrong, but i assume is the prologue to this?), and it blows me away every time.
The entire composition and pacing of the song, the storytelling both in the presentation AND in the meaning of the melodies and leitmotifs you chose?? Absolutely phenomenal. Hands down one of my favorite sonic.exe anythings.
I also have my theories for why metal was able to catch X off guard (im not sure if this is xenophanes or just sonic.exe 2011 so i'll just call him X), but it sounds a bit silly to write down lmao. I'll just say it is refreshing to see them like..actually win for once? I understand the hopelessness is the point in sonic.exe, but it gets a bit rote when it comes to an actual narrative. Its why Spirits of Hell/Sally.exe is still one of my favorite versions of the story, simply bc u know..they can fight back. So its good to see the "final escape" concept applied to the souls and not just boyfriend!!
Anyway, great job, cannot wait till your next release, whatevwr that may be.
Ps. The fact this was all sprite editing in sony vegas blows my goddamn mind. You're getting leaps and bounds better too with each animation!!
cof and fe are their own thing
@@Rodri117 okay! Thank u, i wasnt sure so its good to know!
Hm, what are your theories as to why he caught X off guard?
@@fleshdadbot6852 hmm i think its relatively simple? Metal isnt alive, and therefore he has no soul. While X was distractrd with his games, it gave metal enough time to get fixed up and to knock his ass out.
5:06 "LET ME SHOW WHAT I AM MADE OF!"
Dude this is amazing, I had no idea people liked my take on the song.
Thank you so much for inspiring yourself enough to make this, it's amazing.
Loved how you put so much detail and references to the video. But overall, I’m surprised of how you mixed other musics together in such a creative way.
You’re crazy man, shout-out to everyone who worked on this!!
Robotnik and Metal Sonic stay goated in any universe
I love the small motifs in here, some of “His World” and what I assume to be a hint of “Sonic 2 8-bit’s Bad Ending Theme” during the Tails segment all were really well placed, and don’t get me started on the “What I’m Made Of” segment after Metal attacks Sonic and we get to see the Chaotix and Amy run by goes so hard.
@5:17 "how could you...of all THINGS...can understand this pain..." [ *an error was made* ]

3:14 Sonic sus
This is actually peak. The fact that you used the glitched pallete from Sonic 3 to represent X when he's not possessing Sonic is incredibly creative. AND the song is SO good. And the section at 3:58 OH MY GOD
Absolutely awesome, 10/10
X never was possessing sonic to begin with, he just took the form of him.
@@handlename88 I know it's like that in the original lore, but it's implied here by Sonic dropping down when X glitches that he was possessing Sonic in *this* lore.
@@boyman8981 oh shit I didn’t realize that lmao
@@boyman8981the part you were praising at 3:58 is from a sonic.exe song called “play with me”
i love that sonic.exe in the knuckles part isnt just that pose of him standing menancily and that there is him taunting knuckles and doing the same pose as knuckles like he is ready to fight its a nice detail
0:31 I like how sonic is vibing like he’s in FNF
Fun fact: that part of the song is from FNF
@@raihangibleloverFun fact: This is much better than Triple Trouble
@@raihangibleloverfun fact:it didn’t originate on fnf and was never part of fnf to begin with
I just wanna say, I fucking love everything about this. From the storyline and Metal's big moment, to the motifs used throughout the song, to the incredible spritework... Every piece of this was meticulously crafted, and it shows.
Amazing work, thank you for this bliss to the eyes.
Well, I know what I’m gonna have on repeat for the next few days. I love how this looks and sounds, especially with the little stylistic flourishes (in particular eggman’s dialogue and final cut-in and the use of the “No Way? No Way!” screen). All that _and_ a good story, to boot? I think this turned out phenomenally. Well done!
Other sprites clashing makes perfect sense here as the other characters from Sonic 2 and 3 make appearances in a corrupted version of Sonic 1.
I do appreciate that Eggman and Knuckles ran with tails instead of running past him in the end, not leaving him behind.
5:06 "Hey I'm Alive!"
Amy canonically faster than Tails confirmed.
@@whybother5741makes sense. She is a hedgehog after all.

Que peluches?
True
the fact that eggman was the one who ran the most being a callback to how he was faster than sonic in the classic games actually made me love this video
this is legitimately my favorite cover of final escape, it's straight up a final boss theme now
also METAL SONIC MVP
I find it cool that his world is played when we go from knuckles to tails as he becomes the last hope of the sonic world
Finally! A sonic fan creation where metal isn't underestimated!
Here comes METAL SONIC 4:30
I have a theory, a few actually.
1. Eggman and knuckles died around the same time, when sonic.exe dissapeared from eggman, he probably went to fight knuckles, and when knuckles punches him, they are flashing grey which means they could be clones. This may hint towards them being clones and sonic.exe finishing eggman, then killing knuckles.
2. There is a slight chance that tails could have been the first vicitim, but sonic.exe wanted to play with him a little more so he collected the other souls, which is why it could have taken so long, also it looks like the victims are in order.
3. The figures at the bottom of the souls seem to be might and amy, hinting that these could be the next victims, which may be obvious but it also could be saying that sonic.exe is attacking them currently.
4. When metal fights sonic.exe, knuckles and eggman may be reviving or exe may be losing control of them, and when sonics soul is released so is eggmans and knuckles, which means they are in control again or revived. This may be why eggman was watching metal, but this could also say that went eggman thought of metal, he may of also been communicating his plan to metal.
5. The characters that ran past tails could have been future victims, and we do see mighty and amy, that or they are their for fun.
Thank you for reading, also don’t take it like this is the true lore, it’s just a theory, not a game theory but a youtube theory! (Goodbye matpat 😢)
