'''Shadow the Hedgehog''' is a prominent anti-hero and rival of [[Sonic]] in the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise. He was created to be the "ultimate life form" by [[Dr. Eggman]]'s grandfather, [[sonicretro:Professor Gerald Robotnik|Professor Gerald Robotnik]]. Shadow does whatever is necessary to achieve his goals, and because of this he has fought both alongside and against [[Sonic]]; Shadow and Sonic have somewhat of a frenemy relationship and rivalry. Shadow often fights alongside [[Omega]] and [[Rouge]], who became his closest allies. While Shadow typically shares most of Sonic's abilities, Shadow primarily uses a variety of chaos energy to battle enemies, most notably [[sonicretro:Chaos Control|Chaos Control]], a power that allows him to distort time and space. The only games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that Shadow has appeared in is every installment of the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]].
 
'''[[SonicRetro:Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow the Hedgehog]]''' is a prominent anti-hero in the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series of video games like [[Wario]] from the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. He was created to be the ultimate life-form by [[Dr. Eggman]]'s grandfather, [[sonicretro:Gerald Robotnik|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]]. Shadow's primary abilities are his supersonic speed and ability to use Chaos Emeralds to manipulate time and space. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Jason Anthony Griffith|Jason Anthony Griffith]], who also voices Sonic.


He was voiced by [[sonicretro:Jason Griffith|Jason Griffith]], along with [[Sonic]] and [[Jet (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Jet]], in the first three ''Mario & Sonic'' games, and is currently voiced by [[sonicretro:Kirk Thornton|Kirk Thornton]] since ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''.
==History==
==History==
===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
Shadow is a playable character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', where he is on Sonic's team. His character type is Speed, tieing him with Sonic. He is set to reappear in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''.  
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
[[File:MaSatOG Luigi Shadow intro.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shadow and Luigi competing in the [[110m Hurdles (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|110m Hurdles]] event]]
Shadow is a playable character on Sonic's team in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. His character type is Speed, and he is tied with Sonic for the fastest character in the game. They also share the same power, though Shadow has the worst stamina out of any character in the game in exchange for better skill. In [[Dream Fencing (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Fencing]], his special move is transforming into [[Sonic#Super Sonic|Super Shadow]] and charge forward with multiple stabs of his epée. In [[Dream Table Tennis (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Table Tennis]] for his Special Shot, he jumps up, twirls vertically, lands, inhales and then fires the ball super fast at the opponent.
 
====''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 London 2012 Olympic Games''====
[[File:M&SATLOG Shadow Running artwork.png|thumb|200px|Official artwork of Shadow from ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'']]
Shadow returns as a Speed type playable character in the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', where he appears in the opening with all of the other athletes as well as later competing in [[Football (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Wii)|Football]] and [[Track Cycling - Team Pursuit]]. A Mii outfit based on Shadow also appears in the game, and Shadow appears as a character in London Party that can be spoken to in order to play certain minigames and earn stickers.
 
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]], Shadow is included in the Challengers group, meaning that he is only playable in certain [[Event]]s. In the Story Mode, Shadow first appears asking Sonic, [[Tails]] and [[Yoshi]] to share the information they know about the [[Phantasmal Fog]] and [[imposter]]s after he had defeated some with [[Silver]], and later helps the group chase down Jet, eventually being the one who challenges him to an event. With Jet's help, the group find the [[fog machine]], and after defeating [[Bowser Jr.]], shadow destroys it, clearing the fog from the area. Shadow also appears to offer support to [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Sonic and Tails when they confront [[Bowser]] and Dr. Eggman, later appearing at the opening ceremony. Shadow also appears in the Challengers Bonus episodes, as Bowser Jr. heads to [[London]] to find him when he hears that he and Silver are defeating Dr. Eggman's robots, and accepts Shadow and Silver's challenge when he arrives and manages to take care of the robots himself. After they are defeated, Shadow and Silver pretend to be upset, but later wish Bowser Jr. good luck for the games before heading off. A [[List of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|badge]] of Shadow can also be obtained from the badge machine.
 
====''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.
 
====''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''====
Shadow is a default playable character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. In the Nintendo 3DS version, he is only available to play with in the [[Football (Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Football]] and [[100m (Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|100m]] events. He is available in all events in the Wii U version. If the player's Mii avatar interacts with Shadow, the latter will get irritated at the avatar mixing him up with Sonic and demand he not put him on the same boat as him, referring to Sonic as an "inferior half-wit."
 
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020''====
Shadow is again playable in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', where, like many other characters, he wears appropriate sporting clothing depending on the event.  


He also appears in [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition|the arcade version]], where he is a Speed-type character. Here, he has excellent speed, above average power, and low technique.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Shadow appears as an unlockable [[Assist Trophy]] character, using his ''Chaos Control'' to slow down time. He is unlocked by simply unlocking Sonic himself.

==Official Profiles and Statistics==
{{quote|Chaos CONTROL!|[[Shadow (character)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]}}
===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games===
[[File:Shadow the Hedgehog Brawl.jpg|thumb|left|Shadow in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'']]
In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', Shadow is a Speed character. 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 appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Shadow is an unlockable Assist Trophy, unlocked after the player unlocks Sonic, though in the later installments, as with every other Assist Trophy, he is available from the start. Shadow uses Chaos Control to temporarily slow down time around opponents (having the same effect as the [[Timer (item)|Timer]]). In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Shadow is seen holding up a Chaos Emerald, and before the move ends, all opponents freeze for a short period of time.


In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'', like several other characters, Shadow is voiced by a different voice actor in different languages (e.g. he has his French voice in the French version).
====Profile====
{{br}}
''Like [[Sonic]], Shadow is an extremely fast hedgehog that can give his more famous blue rival a run for his money in most Speed events. Additionally, his accuracy will help give him a leg up in the events like the [[Archery|archery]] and [[Fencing|fencing]].''


===''Super Mario-kun''===
====Stats====
Shadow briefly appears in the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' crossover for ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', where Luigi, Yoshi, and Bowser are worried they will be replaced by Shadow, Tails, and Knuckles if the manga gets rebranded into a ''Sonic'' version.

==Trivia==
{{NIWA|SmashWiki=1}}
*Shadow is left-handed, as shown in the game, ''[http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_the_Hedgehog_%28Video_Game%29 Shadow the Hedgehog]''.  However, in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', he uses an ep&#233;e with his right hand.  This is likely because the Wii controls for that game were designed for right-handed players. (Of course, he very well may be ambidextrous.)
