Super Shadow

Super Shadow is the form Shadow the Hedgehog takes when he uses the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Granting him near invincibility, super sonic flight, enhanced control over his Chaos powers, and causes his quills to shine bright gold. This form first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2. Shadow can release even more power in this form by taking off the rings on his wrist. The only time this occurred nearly cost Shadow his life and left him with amnesia. Fans have estimated the power released by Super Shadow removing his rings is nearly or is equal to that of Hyper Sonic.
