About

Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog brings the Ultimate Lifeform to South Island to put a stop to Dr. Robotnik's Evil Plans! He must skate across 7 perilous zones to free the animals he's trapped in his robots and collect the 6 Chaos Emeralds! Shadow's journey however isn't the same as that blue rodent, as he has the ability to use rings to fuel his rocket shoes for a boost! However the shoes use 5 Rings per boost so use them wisely! Shadow also brings the Light Speed Dash to the table working just like how it did back when he was the talk of the town! Simply hit A near a trail of rings to dash through them at light speed! Oh and did I mention that thanks to Shadow practicing his Chaos Abilities so much, he no longer needs the 7th emerald to go Super?
