It’s that black hedgehog that shares the all too familiar silhouette
of Sonic... he’s
Some 50 years ago, this “
army’s secret research. With no records of what transpired, his true
character is shrouded in darkness and even his own memory cannot
serve as a key to unlock the mystery; there is only emptiness...
“Who am I... and why can’t I remember anything?”
One day as Shadow sat trying to remember anything, he was suddenly shrouded in darkness. Out of the skies came the black creatures, calling themselves the
power, they left a path of destruction in their quest to overtake the
world.
As Shadow looked on, the cities were engulfed in fire and explosions as the Black Arms tattooed their presence in red... From the
ashes arose their leader,
“Shadow... As you can see, the day of reckoning will soon
be here. Find the SEVEN Chaos Emeralds and bring them to
me as promised.”
Perplexed by the dark figure who somehow knew him by name,
Shadow was left wondering what clues Black Doom holds to his
past and what was meant by “
moment of silence, Shadow’s puzzled expression quickly changed
into that uncanny sneer... as he realized what he must do to recover his past.
“If he says he knows the truth about who I am... then like
it or not, I have to believe him. The only way I’m going to get
the secrets to my past is to get those Chaos Emeralds!”

The black hedgehog who resembles Sonic. With his powerful
body, he can easily rival Sonic’s
world class speed. Shadow was
created as the Ultimate Life form
in a secret lab by Professor
Gerald Robotnik. Everything else
about Shadow’s past is a mystery.
After risking his life to save the
planet with Sonic, he suffers
from amnesia, having no memories of his past.
The world’s fastest hedgehog
whose supersonic speed is second to none. He strives to live
according to his own rules rather
than for the sake of heroism or
duty. Until now, he’s been busy
stopping Dr. Eggman’s preposterous ambitions, but this time, he
is motivated more than ever to
take on the alien invaders, Black
Arms.
Thus, the adventure of Shadow to uncover the mysteries of his
forgotten past unfolds. Once again, the chase for the
Emeralds
including that mad genius,
intertwines with the full cast of Sonic and his friends,
Dr. Eggman.

Black Arms, the mysterious alien
army that suddenly appeared in
the sky bringing darkness and
destruction to the world.
Black Doom is the leader
who is in total control of the
alien army; while Doom’s Eye is
Black Doom’s third eye that helps
guide Shadow to the Chaos
Emeralds. Where are they from?
And why are they searching for
the Chaos Emeralds? More
importantly, how do they know
Shadow? Their dark purpose will
be revealed as Shadow discovers
his true identity.
Dr. Eggman is an evil scientist
with an IQ of 300. As usual, he
is plotting to take over the world
and his plans for the ultimate
utopia, Eggmanland, are in full
swing. He considers the Black
Arms, who rely on massive
destruction to intimidate the
world, a prime threat that could
interrupt his master plans.
Professor Gerald is a renowned
scientist, regarded as the most
intelligently-gifted researcher of
all time. Maria is the professor’s
lovely granddaughter. Fifty
years ago, his top-secret government project to create the
Ultimate Life form was
deemed too dangerous and a
threat to mankind, and as a
result, they eliminated everything related to the project,
including the staff. Even
Maria, who was like a sister
to Shadow, fell victim to this
conspiracy.
