Sonic The Hedgehog fans are currently enjoying a cute, miniature version of Shadow The Hedgehog that was recently added to KartRider Rush+. Sonic and his colorful cast of friends and rivals have made many crossover appearances in games like Minecraft and Super Smash Bros. over the years, and publisher Nexon’s free-to-play mobile-based kart racer is the latest to join that list earlier this week on the heels of the worldwide release of the live-action Sonic The Hedgehog 2. This DLC content consists of micro-sized versions of Sonic, Miles “Tails” Prower, Knuckles The Echidna, Dr. Eggman, and Shadow The Hedgehog.
The last name on this list should be readily familiar to longtime Sonic fans, as Shadow The Hedgehog was first introduced to the world of SEGA’s hyper-fast mascot in 2001’s Sonic Adventure 2 as a dark rival to the Blue Blur. Created by esteemed scientist Professor Gerald Robotnik (Dr. Eggman’s grandfather) aboard the Space Colony Ark, Shadow was awakened by Eggman during Sonic Adventure 2 to help defeat Sonic and conquer the world. Initially seeking revenge on humanity for the tragic death of his best friend Maria, Shadow eventually realized that he was meant to help protect the world and became a valuable (albeit uneasy) ally to Sonic and his friends. Since his original debut, Shadow has become a fan favorite and has made several appearances in later Sonic The Hedgehog games.
