'''Shadow the Hedgehog''' is a prominent anti-hero and rival of [[Sonic]] in the ''{{wp|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' franchise. He was created to be the "ultimate life form" by [[Dr. Eggman]]'s grandfather, [[sonicretro:Professor Gerald Robotnik|Professor Gerald Robotnik]]. Shadow does whatever is necessary to achieve his goals, and because of this he has fought both alongside and against [[Sonic]]; Shadow and Sonic have somewhat of a frenemy relationship and rivalry. Shadow often fights alongside [[Omega]] and [[Rouge]], who became his closest allies. While Shadow typically shares most of Sonic's abilities, Shadow primarily uses a variety of chaos energy to battle enemies, most notably [[sonicretro:Chaos Control|Chaos Control]], a power that allows him to distort time and space. The only games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] that Shadow has appeared in is every installment of the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]].

Shadow appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Shadow is an unlockable Assist Trophy, unlocked after the player unlocks Sonic, though in the later installments, as with every other Assist Trophy, he is available from the start. Shadow uses Chaos Control to temporarily slow down time around opponents (having the same effect as the [[Timer (item)|Timer]]). In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Shadow is seen holding up a Chaos Emerald, and before the move ends, all opponents freeze for a short period of time.
