Shadow the Hedgehog is a prominent anti-hero and the rival of Sonic the Hedgehog in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was created to be the "ultimate life-form" by Dr. Eggman's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. Shadow does whatever is necessary to achieve his goals, and because of this he has fought both alongside and against Sonic the Hedgehog. The rivalry between Sonic and Shadow mirrors the rivalry between Mario and Wario, as well as Kirby and Meta Knight. Shadow's primary abilities are his supersonic speed, his ability to use Chaos Control to manipulate time and space, and his other Chaos based attacks.

He was voiced by Jason Griffith, along with Sonic the Hedgehog and Jet the Hawk, in his first three Mario crossover appearances, and is currently voiced by Kirk Thornton in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.

History

Mario & Sonic series

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii): Luigi and Shadow the Hedgehog jump hurtles in the introduction movie.
Shadow and Luigi competing in the 110m Hurdles event.

Shadow is a playable character in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. He's on Sonic's team. His character type is Speed, equaling him with Sonic but he has higher stats than Sonic in other events. In Dream Fencing, his special move is to glow gold and charge forward with multiple stabs of his epéé. His Dream Table Tennis move is to glow gold, jump up and twirl vertically, land, suck in thousand of gold lines and fire the ball super fast at the opponent. Shadow has the lowest level stamina among all the characters.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Shadow also appeared in the sequel, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. He appeared as a speed character, like in the predecessor. However, unlike with the previous game, Shadow is slightly slower than Sonic, but he has the strongest acceleration abilities in the game.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

Shadow is playable again in the fourth game of the Mario & Sonic series; Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Like previous games in the series, he is classified as a Speed type character.
