Super Shadow

super shadow is the Super State of Shadow the Hedgehog when he harnesses the power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds. While transformed, all his powers and abilities are enhanced up to their full limit. Super Shadow made his first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2, and just like Super Sonic, he requires rings in order to stay transformed, otherwise he will be forced to power down and return to normal.

Super Shadow can run faster than before, fly, and is invincible. Super Shadow does not need to use a Chaos Emerald to perform Chaos Control, because the power of the Emeralds appears to have been transferred into him, much as with Super Sonic. Super Shadow's quills turn lemon-cream but his white chest fur retains its color, as do his red stripes.

Super Shadow is the second most frequently used Super State, next to Super Sonic.

Since Super Shadow's arrival in Sonic Adventure 2, found in the last story, fans of Sonic and Shadow started using the name Hyper Shadow instead of the accurate name, Super Shadow. Fans also sometimes get the body color of Super Shadow mixed up, calling it 'silver'. However, Super Shadow's skin appears that way because of the engine used to render the graphics of Sonic Adventure 2.Shadow hasn't been around nearly as long as Sonic, but he's already gotten three transformations under his belt.

And if you think his Chaos Control is impressive now, it can open holes into other zones in his "super state!"
