Copying
Pixels
Note: this involves a hard technique that is hard to describe.
If you’re having trouble, I would suggest looking for a background with
fewer pixels involved.
Now it’s back to Screen 1. See Sonic’s name? We need to remove
Sonic’s name and still remain a background. To do this, zoom in to
800% and observe the area that is behind Sonic’s name. Then move around
the screenshot and look for the same set of pixels. Sonic games usually
have repeating backgrounds, so it is possible to find the exact same pixels
in a different area of the screenshot.
I’ve located a similar set of pixels, as seen below.
I then copied this and then pasted it over Sonic’s name.
You may notice that the S has been left in the screenshot. This is
because the E will overlap the S without having any of the S showing.
I’ve now copied the word EGG to the document and lined up the E over the S
to produce the following:
Now the hoax is complete!
The flame that is by the E may look a little strange, so if you like you
can go back and add a few more pixels. Just remember what the flame
looked like before the S in Sonic was removed. (A lot of the flames
are straight on one side.)
