If you thought Chris's voice acting in the OP was bad, turns out it is far, far worse if you try to actually play the game using his mods, because the characters are talking constantly and Chris's long voice clips make it much more aggravating. I took the time to download Sonic World and install Chris's mods, which also led me to discover a few more things about them in the process. The game itself is pretty wonky on its own (and this is coming from someone who's played a good chunk of actual Sonic games), but I'm going to focus solely on Chris's stuff.
Here's a quick video I made of the Sonichus in "team" mode, where you can pick three characters and switch between them at will (like Sonic Heroes)
According to Sonic World's modding system, each custom character needs to include a character.xml file that includes a biography and a few stats you can adjust. For the sake of comparison, Sonic the Hedgehog has his "Max Speed" value set at 6 and his "Jump Strength" at 7, and the original Sonichu mod set them to 6 and 5, respectively. Meanwhile, Chris made his version of Sonichu have 6 Speed and 7 Jump so that it matches Sonic's stats perfectly.
Chris-Chan Sonichu and Magi-chan on the other hand both get an 8 for Jump Strength, which puts their jumping among the best in the game (aside from characters that can fly like Tails). Chris also gave his self-insert a "drown secs" value of 110 compared to Sonichu's 40, meaning he can keep his character underwater 3 times longer before drowning in water hazards. Magi-Chan inexplicably gets a -1 for the same value (this presumably gives him infinite air).
Finally, Chris wrote a short biography for each character in their character.xml file. I've copied them directly from the files, bad grammar and spelling intact:

Sonichu
Formerly a wild Pikachu who transformed with Chaos Energy, Sonichu (Prime) was raised to be the most epic of heroes. Pokedex Number 982, this Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon is big on attitude with a big heart to match. Like the wind, he is on the move for his friends and family. Living a life of excitement and adventure, cool, enjoys relaxing at times, and firmly stands for freedom; never the one to rest or run away in the face of injustice and evil. He is always ready to Zap It Up to the Extreme for his hometown of Cwcville, Virginia, and his Mama Chris Chan Sonichu. *Personally Updated by Sonichu Prime of Dimension C-197 on November 16, 2020*
Shiny Sonichu
Shiny Pokemon Pokedex: #982 Sonichu. Luminescent and vibrant with the purest of white fur, but still zaps and runs at mach speeds like the common yellow Sonichu. In the blur they run, male and female, the Shiny Sonichu can potentially blind others with its trail. But Mega Evolved, a lovely shade of primrose brightens the paths of themselves, and even the trainer behind them. Sonichus and Rosechus bring chaotic good luck, and the Shiny varients do so and then some."
Magi-Chan Sonichu
Hatched from a very special egg in the mountains of Cerulean City's cave in 1948, Magi-Chan mastered his immense psychic powers with the help of his mentor, Mewtwo. He has and continues to traverse throughout time, space and all other dimensions and timelines. He is the guardian over the Sonichu and Rosechu species, as well as our Goddess, and his wife, Chris Chan Sonichu. His psychic powers are the strongest in this and any other universe or dimension. This is a power he shares only with the OG Chris Chan Sonichu of our OG dimensions 1218 and C-197. He knows everything there is to know of the past, present and future. Indeed so.
Chris Chan Sonichu
The one-and-only Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu from the creator dimension of 1218 and the OC/FC dimension of C-197. A literal Goddess of both dimensions, Chris Chan works diligently and very tough for and with everyone to help against all enemies and disruptions upon the peace of the people of both Earths alongside all of the other OP superheroes and deities. She is one who delights in meeting and hanging out with other people, sharing a delightful conversation and lending a supportive ear and kind heart. Her caring for all peoples astounds everyone, but she is not blind to haters.
