** Trinity primarily features fan favorites Majin, Xenophanes, and Lord X, with Rewrite nowhere to be seen, as though pandering to the audience with known characters.

* StylisticSuck: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], but subtly present. Overall, the mod likes to give off the initial impression of being yet another cheesy Sonic.exe spinoff that ''tries'' to be scary but is too simple and cliche to inspire any fear; The creator has indicated this is intentional when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzPY0WFSJD4&lc=UgwjtBV1WD3-gifI0s54AaABAg.9nDFPB5Es6m9nDSe8zyCws replying]] to a comment on [=YouTube=].
** Rewrite's appearance is [[UncannyValley uncanny]], but he looks almost entirely like a normal Sonic, and his rubber hose animations and melodic voice can make him seem more laughable than threatening.
** Thriller Gen's plodding, goofy horn synth helps the above, making it hard to take Rewrite seriously as a villain.
** The "I AM GOD" quote-drop in Thriller Gen is also spoken in such a robotic monotone that it's hard to take seriously, and the fact that it gets dropped at all comes off as an overplayed cliche.
** Trinity primarily features fan favorites Majin, Xenophanes, and Lord X, with Rewrite nowhere to be seen, as though pandering to the audience with known characters.
** [[spoiler:Of course, in reality, Rewrite's whole shtick is his meta-awareness; By [[ObfuscatingStupidity acting like he's trying to be scary and failing]], he [[KansasCityShuffle lulls the player into a false sense of security]] to keep them playing.]]

* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Rewrite's voice is a high, childlike text-to-speech voice, which adds to his unsettling demeanor.



* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: The main lore is that Rewrite is the original Sonic.EXE that became more self-aware than before, rewriting the game with every playthrough and adapting to the player's mind.

Developed by ''[=SpringlessEcho=]'', '''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/417560 VS Rewrite]]''' is a mod serving as a crossover between ''Friday Night Funkin''' and ''Sonic.EXE'', featuring a unique take on the character known as Rewrite.

The mod contains two songs separated into two weeks; "Thriller-Gen" and "Trinity".
----

!!This mod contains the following tropes:
* ArtShift: In contrast to base FNF, the whole mod[[spoiler:, aside from the pixel section at the end of "Trinity",]] is in a 3D art style mixed with the SEGA Genesis's colour palette limits.
* BreatherEpisode: "Thriller-Gen", even with its more difficult charting near the end, is fairly easy to get through compared to "Trinity", due to its slower pace overall.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: [[spoiler:After disposing of Boyfriend, Rewrite takes the rest of the song against you, the player, aiming to claim your soul and add it to his growing collection.]]
* MarathonLevel: "Trinity" delivers this in spades, throwing in around 6 minutes of challenge to the table.
* ParanoiaFuel: [[spoiler:With the reveal that Rewrite is capable of shapeshifting into anyone he wants, it can leave players scared as to who else he may choose to take the form of outside of his Sonic form.]]
* PromotedToPlayable: [[spoiler:In the homestretch of "Trinity", it's the player themselves that go up against Rewrite.]]
* WolfpackBoss: Trinity serves as this, with the player pit against the original ''VideoGame/VsSonicExe'' trio before facing Rewrite. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed they were never there to begin with.]]
