Shadow In Sonic Racing Animation
I will be discussing the trailer for Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, so spoilers ahead. The idea of Shadow beating Sonic in the racing game was a great idea. I know the game is named after the protagonist, and Sonic is known as the fastest thing alive. But the fact that Shadow won makes perfect sense. Because, if you recall, in both the film and video game, Shadow always has his own way of getting from place to place, either by running thanks to his air shoes or a motorcycle, also known as the Dark Rider, or in this case, a custom-made racing car. Shadow has some disadvantages in speed because, according to gaming lore, Shadow is a genetically engineered bio-merge hedgehog, thanks to the engineering of Dr. Eggman (also known as Gerold Robotnik) and the DNA of Black Doom, who is Shadow's biological father. Talk about an awkward Father's Day. However, Shadow has to limit his energy, unlike Sonic, who has unlimited energy, and Sonic was born alive. Shadow was not, in fact, he doesn't even have a mom, unless you count a test tube, which sounds messed up.
