2:08 to explain it properly, mephilis is half of solaris created through a failed experimentation of time travel, which split solaris in half, Mephilis the Dark, which would be the mind and power of time, and Iblis the flames of disaster, which is the body and (possibly) the power of space, due to sonic, Shadow, and silver defeating Solaris, Elise blew out its flame erasing it from existence forever, due to Black Doom’s meddling he accidentally revived Mephilis, and his only hope is to defeat Shadow to restore himself (as he says at the start of the boss) and during banter mephilis says “I owe you much shadow.” Shadow says “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Clearly stating he doesn’t know who mephilis is, confirming Sonic 06 is Canon to the series, all he wants to exsist, but even if he won, he can never be Solaris again due to Ibilis being non-existent. Trust me the entire story can be confusing you should watch a hand maid movie on Sonic 06 for the full in order story, since everything happens at the same time.

Mephilis returning to Shadow Generations was something I wasn't expecting but I was hyped
Hm, maybe you should do the Two Mephiles Boss Themes from the Original 06 at some point?
Which Sonic Game Soundtracks have you covered at this point?
we have gone over a lot of music from sonic from all over the place. mostly lyrical songs.
