Sonikku is a 17 year old hacker from a small town in Southern California. His real name is Andrew, and tends to dislike being called as such, though he actually prefers it to the nickname Drew that he has received by his family at a young age. He is best known for his ability in custom spriting and overall ASM; even though nothing he makes is complicated at all. He tends to work on a hack and nearly finish a demo and freeze all progress on it to work on another, only for it to happen again and again. He has released 2 demos of his hacks but has never finished a full version, and likely never will. He is fairly active on the IRC channels such as #serioushax, #smwc, #lolmusic, and so on. Sonikku tends to be fairly secretive about many aspects regarding him; from many parts of his life to the stuff he works on in his hack. It is very unlikely he will ever unveil a full release of any of his hacks.

Hacking
Sonikku has started 3 hacks total, but has canceled one and works on the others on 6-12 month shifts these days.
Welcome Back To Super Mario World
One hack he started was called "Welcome back to Super Mario World," though never saw the light of day outside of a Sonic/Tails fan forum back in early 2007. No storyline was ever made. It used the SMB2 Music Patch in its original .ips form. A video on this hack can be found here.
Super Sonikku World
Another was his second hack, "Super Sonikku World," a hack where you play as a ghost in a brown cloak (The ghost part is an excuse to not have to think of what is actually UNDER the cloak), who is Sonikku's character. There is no storyline for it yet, but Sonikku has basically said "Okay Sonikku decides he wants to be in a video game LETS GO ON AN ADVENTURE THROUGH STUFF THAT MAKES NO SENSE." Its the only hack Sonikku has worked on much. In the most recent version; with various .ips files lying around across the internet, it is full of new ASM unseen to the world of SMW before. The hack features many characters in the form of bosses or enemies who resemble the character designs of Sonikku's friends from the old forum, Pixeltendo. Other characters were random ideas or cameos of characters from other games.
Super Blooper
The last hack he has created was simply called "Super Blooper." You played as a young blooper who has lost his way home. The main attraction of this hack was the fact that it took advantage of an Water Meter. You had a limited amount of time to be on land before you would lose a life. If you get into water, the air meter rises back up again. In the most recent version, v1.4 (Unreleased), it uses a lot of ASM throughout the course of the hack, in the form of custom blocks, custom sprites, patches, etc.
Trivia and other useless stuff
- Sonikku's official phrase is "I BREAK MOUNTAINS WITH MY FACE," which has introduced a few visuals of such activities throughout the internet.
- Has 5 cats, 2 parakeets, a parrot, a dog, and in his brothers room about 20 frogs.
- Sonikku is the youngest person in his family.
- Is about as smart as most people make him out to me (aka not very smart at all).
- Has created the ever-so-dead channel, #twix, which spawned from a conversation in which Smallhacker was wondering which candy to buy one day. Currently does not exist anymore.
- Many people find him annoying, (especially Computerprogrammer1) and does try to fix that aspect but never can.
