PROLOGUEPROLOGUE CHARACTERSCHARACTERS

It’s that black hedgehog that shares the all too familiar silhouetteof Sonic... he’s Shadow the Hedgehog.

Some 50 years ago, this “Ultimate Life form” was the result of thearmy’s secret research. With no records of what transpired, his truecharacter is shrouded in darkness and even his own memory cannotserve 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 sud-denly shrouded in darkness. Out of the skies came the black crea-tures, calling themselves the Black Arms. By their sheer numbers andpower, they left a path of destruction in their quest to overtake theworld.

As Shadow looked on, the cities were engulfed in fire and explo-sions as the Black Arms tattooed their presence in red... From theashes arose their leader, Black Doom...

“Shadow... As you can see, the day of reckoning will soonbe here. Find the SEVEN Chaos Emeralds and bring them tome as promised.”

Perplexed by the dark figure who somehow knew him by name,Shadow was left wondering what clues Black Doom holds to hispast and what was meant by “the day of reckoning.” After amoment of silence, Shadow’s puzzled expression quickly changedinto that uncanny sneer... as he realized what he must do to recov-er his past.

“If he says he knows the truth about who I am... then likeit or not, I have to believe him. The only way I’m going to getthe secrets to my past is to get those Chaos Emeralds!”

Thus, the adventure of Shadow to uncover the mysteries of hisforgotten past unfolds. Once again, the chase for the ChaosEmeralds intertwines with the full cast of Sonic and his friends,including that mad genius, Dr. Eggman.

The black hedgehog who resem-bles Sonic. With his powerfulbody, he can easily rival Sonic’sworld class speed. Shadow wascreated as the Ultimate Life formin a secret lab by ProfessorGerald Robotnik. Everything elseabout Shadow’s past is a mystery.After risking his life to save theplanet with Sonic, he suffersfrom amnesia, having no memo-ries of his past.

The world’s fastest hedgehogwhose supersonic speed is sec-ond to none. He strives to liveaccording to his own rules ratherthan for the sake of heroism orduty. Until now, he’s been busystopping Dr. Eggman’s preposter-ous ambitions, but this time, heis motivated more than ever totake on the alien invaders, BlackArms.
