Speedduo64
is a series of Found Footage-style videos by the artist ShutUpJojo of Needlem0use fame, serving as an alternate take for the Sonic.exe mythos and is the first installment of Love's Crafts.
The story tells about a Sonic fangame from 2002 called "Sonic Chaos Incarnate". While at first seems like a typical early fangame from that era, but with each footage, there's something hidden in this fangame in the form of souls tortured by a being called SONIC.
Episodes so far:
Canon:
- Sonic Chaos Incarnate intro (2002 sonic fan game)

This series provides examples of:
- Adapted Out: Sarah Henderson is completely absent from the series.
- Ambiguous Situation: It is unknown if SONIC is a vengeful human torturing their friends like in the original Needlem0use or if it's an entity that hijacked the fangame and captured the developers' souls.
- Bait-and-Switch: During the first video, when it seems like SONIC would say the iconic "I Am God" text from the original creepypasta, they instead spells out "I Am Me" instead.
- Big Bad: The main villain from the series is a being called SONIC who tortures the souls inside the characters from the fangame and is possibly responsible for Kyle's deaths.
- Continuity Reboot: This series is meant to be a reboot of Needlem0use after the artist's disillusionment with the series, without the elements know about it shown in the end of Season 1 and the entirety of Season 2.
- Sapient Eat Sapient: During the third video, after catching up Michelle/Knuckles when she was exploring a level and running from them, SONIC starts to slowly eat up her body, even making some eating sounds before it was shown.
- Stylistic Suck: The in-universe fangame "Sonic Chaos Incarnate" that the story tells about has bad grammar and clunky assets to feel like an early 2000's fangame.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: If what Martin/Eggman said in the second video is true, the person playing the fangame ended up waking the tortured souls inside the fangame, making SONIC continue the tortures.
