Shadow in Sonic
About the Game
Come join us to play this latest game of Sonic the Hedgehog, here you will play the role of a Shadow the Hedgehog! Like most Sonic games, your task is to complete all the levels and collect all golden rings as well! This is a fan-made ROM hack that comes with new programming, sprites, codes and much more. Like the main character, you will see other characters looking similar as well, like crabmeats, grey springs and others.
The hack keeps most of the original game's structure intact. You still travel through the classic zones of South Island, collect rings, and battle Doctor Eggman, but you do so as Shadow instead of Sonic.

The story remains largely unchanged from Sega's original release.
๐๏ธ Travel Across South Island
You will explore all of the well-known zones from Sonic the Hedgehog, including:
- Green Hill Zone

- Spring Yard Zone

These levels helped establish the foundation of the Sonic franchise.
โก Shadow in a Genesis Adventure
One reason fans enjoy this hack is the unusual combination of characters and eras.
Shadow first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2, which was released a decade after the original Sonic the Hedgehog. This ROM hack adapts Shadow's appearance to fit within the 16-bit style of the Genesis game.
Depending on the version, the hack may focus mainly on visual changes or include additional character-specific modifications.
๐ Search for the Chaos Emeralds
The Chaos Emeralds remain an important part of the adventure.
By collecting enough rings and reaching the giant rings hidden throughout stages, you can enter Special Stages and work toward the game's best ending.
Many fans enjoy revisiting these stages while playing as Shadow.
