Hmph. What difference would it make if we save her, when this entire dimension will still be in jeopardy? Mecha Sonic is a shameless coward who would stop at nothing to carry out his objectives. You'd willingly sacrifice the lives of millions for just one individual? Forget about her and let's get back to more important things like getting the Emeralds and destroying Mecha Sonic!
~ Shadow, opposing saving Princess Peach and insisting to Sonic to keep going on their main goals.

Shadow the Hedgehog, often referred to as simply Shadow, is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Luigi) of the 2006 flash animation series Super Mario Bros. Z.

He is a wrath-filled vengeful hedgehog seeking revenge on Turbo Mecha Sonic, who killed Shadow's friends back in Mobius. Shadow, alongside Sonic, seeks to recover the Chaos Emeralds from the Mushroom Kingdom where he warps them into for preventing Mecha Sonic to collect them in Mobius, and defeat the killer robot for good.

Much like his original counterpart, his voice clips were provided by David Humphrey and Jason Griffith

His Good Ranking[]

What Makes Him Admirable?[]

  • Sonic mentioned that Shadow fought in Space Colony ARK not out of pride or amusement, but for the people he cares about, such as Maria.
  • While he is portrayed as a wrathful, vengeful rogue with the feeling of deep hatred towards Mecha Sonic, this is for the latter murdering Shadow's close friends Rouge and E-123 Omega, whom Shadow cares about.
  • When Turbo Mecha Sonic destroyed Mobius, killed Sonic's friends, defeated Sonic and was about to collect the seven Chaos Emeralds to gain his ultimate form Metallix, Shadow intervened and warped the Emeralds away to the Mushroom Kingdom with Chaos Control, to prevent the omnicidal Mecha Sonic from collecting them and abusing the power.
  • Alongside Sonic, he helps Mario defeat Bowser by crashing their capsule into the Metal Bowser after teleportation, causing him to lose his metal powers and enabling Mario to defeat him.
  • Alongside Sonic, he defeats Kamek when the latter takes Peach hostage to make Mario surrender, saving her in the process.
  • After Mecha Sonic teleported himself into the Mushroom Kingdom, Shadow and Sonic chase him and inform Princess Peach about the incident, to search and collect the emeralds before the Mecha and stop him from destroying the Mushroom Kingdom.
  • While reluctantly, he accepts working with Mario, Luigi and Yoshi to stop the Mecha Sonic.
  • Alongside his teammates, he runs for Yoshi when he is about to be killed by Mecha Sonic, saving him.
  • When Koopa Bros steal one of the emeralds, Shadow chases them to recover the emerald from them. Later, he, alongside his teammates, fights them.
  • Alongside his teammates, he frees the Yoshis enslaved by Axem Rangers in the Yoshi Island.
  • During the fight with Koopa Bros and Axem Rangers, he saves Yoshi and Luigi from Axem Black and Green's special axe attack, with Chaos Control.
  • During the fight with Semi-Super Mecha Sonic, he saves his teammates from the Mecha's multiple attacks.
  • Evacuates his teammates and the Yoshi tribe from the near-destroyed island with Chaos Control empowered with emerald, saving dozens of lives.
  • Saves Goombella and Kolorado's lives from Mecha Sonic in the Minus World.
  • Assists Mario, Sonic and Yoshi during the fight with Mecha Sonic, and prevents the latter when he prepares for an attack during the escape of Minus World.
  • Saves his teammates', Goombella's, Kolorado's and Stuffwell's lives with Chaos Control when Mecha Sonic attacks them with a blast attack.
  • Although he furiously objects Sonic and Mario's team to save Peach and calls her a "pathetic damsel", he subverts it after Sonic's speech and admits that they should help Peach.
  • While he does not help Sonic saving Peach, it was for searching for Mecha Sonic, whom Shadow considers a more evil threat.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]

  • He is wrathful for the worst purposes at time, such as furiously yelling at Princess Peach who only tries to bandage his wounds and beating Sonic up several times for poor reasons, such as Sonic warning him for not being polite.
  • He has a superiority and narcissistic complex, constantly stating that he is powerful and has a reputation of being the Ultimate Life Form, and wanting get things done his way than work as a team with anyone. He even did not want Mario's help at first, but reluctantly accepts after Sonic's insists.
    • His complex also makes him lethal in some cases, as he comes close to killing Sonic just for mentioning that he would ditch everything for the Emeralds, including one of his close friends, Maria.
    • While he works with Mario's team and Sonic, he sometimes acts rogue. These include trying to fight Koopa Bros single-handedly, and provoking fight towards Yoshi Tribe. He even attacks his own teammates during some fights.
