history

Shadow's design history, like his life experience, has been shrouded in fog, and there is still controversy about whether his designer is Uekawa Yuji or Takashi Iizuka. Originally defined as a villain, the inspiration of its design is not clear, but in terms of temperament, Shadow is somewhat similar to the villain Vegeta in Dragon Ball.

Shadow first appeared in the DC game Adventures of Sonik 2, as an opponent of Sonik and others. But when he found himself being used, he immediately sided with Sonik and others. The shadow disappeared at the end of the game, and many people thought the role was over.

However, the shadow reappeared in the cross-platform game Hero of Sonik in 2003. This time, he lost all his memories, and his goal was to find them, but at the end of the game, the production team still kept the suspense-is the shadow in the game the original shadow or the clone machine made by the villain Dokuta Egguman "Dr. Egg Man"?

In 2005, Shadow had its own game of the same name "Shadow the Hedgehog", in which all the mysteries about the shadow's life experience were uncovered. At the end of the story, the shadow found the memory, but he left it behind and continued his lonely journey. ...

Shadow is the product of the secret plan of the government 50 years ago. This project is called "Project:Shadow", and Professor Gerald Robotnik is appointed by the government to take full charge. The plan aims to create artificial life with super powers. Professor Gerard didn't intend to accept this task, but because his beloved granddaughter Maria Robotnik was terminally ill with drugs, his love for her forced Dr. Gerard to finally agree to carry out this plan. Dr Gerald came to the ark, a space colony built in outer space, and began his research.

In the study of "chaotic emeralds", the researchers copied a substance called "chaos drive", which can connect the power of chaotic emeralds with artificial life, and the researchers made a life sample from it, which they called "the ultimate life form". This kind of life has the ability of rebirth and reproduction, which makes researchers very excited. They seem to see the dawn of artificial life. However, things suddenly deteriorated, and researchers found that the power to study life was too strong to suppress its energy with existing means. Finally, the government handed over the plan to GUN (National Guard).

Professor Gerald was only halfway through his research, so he begged the Ministry of National Defense to let him continue his research. However, after learning of the threat of research-grade life forms, senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense decided to secretly terminate the program, close all research facilities on the Ark, and get rid of all people involved in the program. The Ministry of National Defense announced the "shadow plan" and claimed that the death of researchers and the closure of facilities were caused by the sudden loss of control of research life, and the Ministry of National Defense knew nothing about it. Public opinion pointed the finger at Professor Gerald, and at this time, the Ministry of National Defense quickly sent troops to block the "Ark" and sealed the samples of research-grade life in the depths of the "Ark".

However, the Ministry of National Defense did not expect that Professor Gerald had secretly completed the research on advanced life. The professor used the data of advanced life to create another life, and he named this project "Shadow". But the professor couldn't make this life have human-like thoughts and emotions, so he turned to an alien race that called itself "black arm". The head of the team, Black Doom, asked the professor to exchange chaotic jadeite in order to implant his DNA into the shadow. Finally, the shadow was born.

The secret was quickly discovered by the spies sent by the Ministry of National Defense to the Ark. The Ministry of National Defense decided to destroy all the researchers and residents on the Ark and all the research facilities at all costs. When the army arrived, the professor's granddaughter Maria fled with a shadow. The professor entrusts the two men to tell the truth to the public, but when they are about to board the safety cabin that fled to the earth, Maria is shot, but she still fires at the safety cabin where the shadow is riding with her last breath.
