Fifty years later, Dr. Eggman reawakens Shadow in order to reactivate the Eclipse Cannon, a weapon of mass destruction built into the ARK. Shadow agrees to help, but only to achieve his goal of exacting revenge on humanity for killing Maria. Sonic and his friends attempt to stop this plan, but both parties are eventually forced to work together to prevent the ARK from crashing into Earth. With the help of Amy Rose, Shadow realizes that Maria's wish was not to destroy humanity, but rather to "give them a chance to be happy". When the Biolizard, the prototype Ultimate Lifeform, fuses together with the ARK to become the Finalhazard, Shadow partners with Sonic and uses the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Shadow, fighting to stop the new threat. The final battle results in Shadow sacrificing himself and falling to the planet from orbit, presumably killing him. | Fifty years later, Dr. Eggman reawakens Shadow in order to reactivate the Eclipse Cannon, a weapon of mass destruction built into the ARK.

He has no memories of his previous life, which leads both others and himself to question how he survived. He also encounters E-123 Omega, a creation of Eggman who rebelled and now seeks revenge on the doctor. The three decide to join forces in pursuit of Eggman, with Shadow hoping to find answers about his identity. Along the way, the group finds a collection of androids that look exactly like Shadow, sealed in similar chambers. This raises the question of whether this Shadow is the original being, or an android replicant. | ||
The plot points from ''Heroes'' are further explored in ''Shadow the Hedgehog''. Still missing most of his memories, Shadow is approached by the Black Doom, who promises answers in exchange for following his orders in the name of world domination. There are ten possible endings depending on the choices made in the game, with Shadow either coming to the conclusion that he is the original or an android. However, there is a "true" ending where Shadow realizes that it does not matter who he was, but rather who he currently is. This "true" ending clarifies how Shadow survived, regardless; Eggman confesses that he found Shadow's lifeless body and rescued him, confirming that he is the same Ultimate Lifeform that Gerald Robotnik created. After the conclusion reached in this game, Shadow would continue to play roles in future games, mostly as a supporting character with a few playable appearances. | The plot points from ''Heroes'' are further explored in ''Shadow the Hedgehog''.
