Shadow the Hedgehog (シャドウ・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Shadō za Hejjihoggu) is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series who, like Knuckles, has a bit of a rivalry with Sonic. He is known as the "Ultimate Lifeform." He has his own game that mainly features him, the self-titled Shadow the Hedgehog, which was released in 2005 for all three sixth-generation consoles. Since his debut, he consistently holds second place as the most popular character in the franchise, trailing the eponymous character. Unlike his heroic counterpart, Shadow is a much more darker and developed character, he is willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goals. However in the recent games, he has become a somewhat lighter, anti-hero character

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Shadow appears as an unlockable Assist Trophy and uses his Chaos Control ability to slow down everyone except the summoner (Similar to the Timer or Luigi's Negative Zone, though with a shorter duration). Shadow's AT is unlocked when the player unlocks Sonic. He also appears as a regular Trophy.

Trophy Description

Trivia

• On x1.5, Shadow will say "Chaos 'Rol!", cutting off the cont bit of control.
• Considering that he has a shadow in the official art, Shadow actually has no shadow after you use the assist trophy that releases him.
