Shadow the Hedgehog is a prominent anti-hero and the rival of Sonic the Hedgehog in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was created to be the "ultimate life-form" by Dr. Eggman's grandfather, 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. Sonic and Shadow's rivalry mirrors Mario and Wario and Kirby and Meta Knight's rivalries. Shadow's primary abilities are his supersonic speed, his ability to use Chaos Control to manipulate time and space, and his other Chaos based attacks.

He was voiced by Jason Griffith, along with Sonic the Hedgehog and Jet the Hawk, in his first three Mario crossover appearances, and is currently voiced by Kirk Thornton in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
