SAFETY INFORMATION
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have
an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss
of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or
striking nearby objects.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit
room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.

PROLOGUE
PROLOGUE
It’s that black hedgehog that shares the all too familiar silhouette
of Sonic... he’s Shadow the Hedgehog.
Some 50 years ago, this “Ultimate Life form” was the result of the
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 Black Arms. By their sheer numbers and
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, Black Doom...
“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 “the day of reckoning.” After a
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!”
Thus, the adventure of Shadow to uncover the mysteries of his
forgotten past unfolds. Once again, the chase for the Chaos
Emeralds intertwines with the full cast of Sonic and his friends,
including that mad genius, Dr. Eggman.

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.

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.

attacks the planet under his
watch. For reasons known only
to him, he harbors a deep hatred
of Shadow. He is one of the few
who knows the secret of
Shadow’s past.
