Imagine being a man of science and be confronted by a talking animal who acts edgy and uses fire guns just for the sake of it. Eggman mood in this game is absolutely fitting
One weird thing about this game is Shadow has amnesia since SA2 and doesn’t know who he is and that’s driving the whole plot. But all the other characters who were in SA2 know exactly who he was and could easily just tell him but are content just watching him have this existential crisis right in front of them while they go on their merry adventure. It’s…odd
Well no. Yes the other Characters know Shadow... However! It was never revealed in Heroes if he was the real Shadow or a copy created by Robotnik. Sure Omega said something about an original must exist. But again it wasn't clear.
@@Hariburger To quickly get some distance? I can see how that was the easiest option since he was still kneeled on the ground at least (it's better than taking time to stand all the way up and turning around).

shadows cutscenes with sonic are so funny, cos sonics constant upbeatness gives the impression that this is completely fuckin normal while shadow is having seven breakdowns at once
Even the game knows that Sonic is utterly annoying in this game given that Shadow has enough of Sonic's nonsense is the reason for the "Dark" final fight in Final Haunt.
But why did the glass sound like a vase was broken and not glass. Also from what I've heard the scene where he takes that Chaos Emerald is the hero path.
I remember laughing my butt off at these cutscenes because of how stupidly edgy they actually are literally everything in this game is stupidly edgy and honestly that’s what makes it even funnier

Funnily enough, some of the hilariously edgy lines weren't in or altered from the original Japanese script, I kid you not. For example, Shadow says "Where's the fourth Chaos Emerald?" instead of "Where's that damn FOURTH Chaos Emerald?" Also, rather than saying "This is like taking candy from a baby" he instead calls Sonic and Tails fools for exposing the emerald to him. Regardless, I can't help but love the dumb edgier lines in the English version, they never fail to put a smile on my face

I think everyone should come to realization and acknowledge how much sin (wrongdoing) they've done towards God, but suicide is the dumbest thing to do, if anything, your just throwing yourself into Hell. Instead they should be humbled to repentance (grief and godly sorrow) for their sin and fear God. Suicide is something people do when they don't want to give up their pride.
1:26 I love this whole exchange of two goofy-looking cartoon animals next to an edgy-looking demon-thing. The super generic "You are part of me." line is followed by seconds of awkward silence just to be broken by Vector's dumb voice, and Shadow is standing there not registering anything.

Robotnik's "What?" At 1:10 sounds so genuinely confused, it's almost as if it was an outtake. EDIT: I cant believe that people are still fighting in the replies. Hop down there for free entertainment.
@@ElainaMaruyama His name has been Dr. Eggman since Sonic 1, but the weirdo American canon changed it among many, many other things about Sonic in the 90s for really dumb reasons. But the Japanese canon is the real one and always has been, so when SA1 was made with spoken dialogue, Sonic Team finally got the chance to shut down the American canon in the games and just called him his real name in English for once so it was consistent and their stories and characters couldn't be altered anymore. So that scene where they use Eggman as an insult in SA1 is only in the dub as to not confuse English audiences with the transition, in Japanese it doesn't happen because they've always known him as Eggman, and events in the games contradict it being a recent nickname so it's essentially not canon. Eggman is obviously canonically a name Eggman calls himself willingly and is proud of it, he names all his robots and machines after it since the classics, he even has a door in his Final Egg base that opens when you spell out the word "EGGMAN" in big letters, if it was an insult why would he put it there lol. Only in SA2 did the Robotnik name become legitimately canon as an acknowledgement by Sonic Team to the western attachment to that name. They made it his canon family name, but his chosen moniker is Dr. Eggman and he goes by that exclusively and always has as far as the games are concerned.
1:10 I love that "what??" Eggman just sounds like he's in a play and Shadow just ad-libbed and is like "dude shadow, that's not part of the script, what are you doing!"
I know this is where people say sonic went downhill, but I don’t care. I love this game for how bad it is. It’s like an interactive shitpost. If Sega made a game with this exact tone but self aware it would be funniest game in the series
This is when Shadows character started to go downhill, I wouldn't say the games until a bit later but this is the first instance of Shadow being edgy the hegy. I love this game tho for how ridiculous it is.
Not really, this Shadow doesn't remember anything, he's not Shadow, to put it in some way, he's just an empty shell, in the middle of a war, in which he doesn't know who to support, at the end of the game the guy matures and develops much, as a character, he becomes a better Shadow, whose personality, is seen perfectly in Sonic 2006, more focused, more serious, but kind and respectful, with others, the truth is the growth and evolution of his character during, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the hedgehog, Sonic Battle and Sonic 2006, is perfectly carried, you can feel, how his person changes for the better.
What I like about this game's story is how campy and overdramatic it is, from the movements to the goofy dialogue to the fact that Shadow is having a million different mental breakdowns at once while Sonic's over in the corner doing air guitar or some shit. The whole game just oozes cheese and, seeing as I'm the registered Cheese Man, I can safely say that this cheese is Fresher than the Prince of Bel-Air
Ironically, the scene at 1:13 is the intro cutscene for a level its only really possible to reach if you've either completed the hero mission on every level since ethe first level, or completed the first level as neutral and the following 2 as hero. Either way you've had to do a bunch of missions as a hero and are now on the "full hero" path, yet you have this hilarious cut scene depicting Shadow as a Saturday morning cartoon moustache twirling villain who steals candy from babies.
I see it that way: as he is referring to babys and not kids it Is actually a good thing to take candy away from baby’s who don’t have the capability to eat (or even digest) candy and could easily choke on it.
Sorry, but I just can't get over how unnecessarily close he gets to Shadow's face when he says "You up for this Shadow?" And then just hops away like a total goof 😆
I know this was just cutscenes, but I feel like P2 Maria deserves an honorable mention as the dumbest thing in the game. She may be slowly dying, but that won’t stop her from barreling through objects at super speed and bitch slapping Artificial Chaos.
The absolute funniest part of the "taking candy from a baby" line is that you get it by going through the hero route and then taking an evil route right near the end. Which has Shadow being a morally good character fighting to help the world, just to suddenly give that line when he finds the Chaos Emerald onboard their ship. Lol
@@yohhh6715 dude has the balls to roast babies without fear of looking like a coward. True sigma, sonic is a beta in comparison who would consider how others feel, but not shadow. XD I'm joking btw, i don't actually think being cruel to babies is ok at all, unless they fall over, then I'm laughing. :)
@@RealAGuy Yea you’re not wrong. I think one of his worst moments has to be in sonic boom where he tells sonic he’s pathetic for hanging out with his friends, whilst his backstory is basically just about his sister like friend dying and him being upset about it. Sonic teams writing is 💩
@@EmmaxoOCE Sonic team as a whole can’t write anything good and completely forgot the appeal of sonic as a franchise, hell the only reason people like 2000s sonic writing these days either has nostalgia or likes the stories because sonic and his orbit of friends are present. I could go on about it but I won’t.
Well that's no way to talk about us, considering you all use, watch, have, hear, all things we have here & made. Everyone all over the world thinks their country is the best, but is far from it lol. Even Brad Pitt is more popular then all other Countries combined 😂🤣 Sad lol.
3:37 The way he said “Doctor” in such a soft spoken manner plus the sheer exasperation in Eggman’s “What?” right after makes it feel like they’re having marital issues
Sonic and shadow never fail to make me wheeze. Shadow could be in a life changing event and reflecting on his past and sonic could make a joke at the worst possible time. I know they are rivals (sort of) but they are one of the best duos for sure (You know I have issues when they are my comfort duo)

I don't care what anyone says, I will always love Shadow the Hedgehog. The edge, the campiness, the legitimate moments where Shadow questions his own existence and purpose amidst the manipulation of those who want to take advantage of his amnesiac vulnerability, to the ultimate resolution of Shadow letting go of the past and making way to the amazing character that was graced in 06...all packaged in a game where Shadow is definitely fine with taking candy from a baby lol ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶a̶d̶d̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶i̶e̶n̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶e̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶1̶0̶0̶c̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶t̶h̶r̶o̶p̶o̶m̶o̶r̶p̶h̶i̶c̶ ̶h̶e̶d̶g̶e̶h̶o̶g̶ ̶l̶m̶a̶o̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶i̶g̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶. It's a flawed game but for all it's faults, I will unironically love this game as it distracted me in my tough times in highschool right before the pandemic started.
It's hilarious when you contrast this to Metal Gear Rising as a spinoff where that game is supposed to be more mature, but allows itself to go hammy with itself and Raiden. Whereas SEGA really took this so seriously that you wonder if the storyboard writers really lack this much self awareness.
I wonder if the orginal creator for Shadow helped write him in this or not, cause he takes a huge shift in his character. Like I wanna know if they stuck a bunch of new people who've never worked on any Sonic games.
@@Olivia-dg4fb Well this game was written by Takashi Iizuka who is the second most important person in creating Shadow's character as director of SA2 right after SA2's writer Shiro Maekawa. But to be entirely fair here a lot of the seeming shift in Shadow's game is down to the translation team decided to increase the edge level of the game by a lot. Like there added to many damns and similar changes that Shadow ends up way edgier than intended.
@@rynobehnke8289 yeah I keep like can't see them going from SA2 writing of Shadow to this version, I will definitely take a look at what the game is like before the translation team did its thing. I have been getting back into Sonic and SA2 was a game I loved as a kid, and I only have played the English dub. So learning about how lines had be changed and the meaning behind them was a lot. I just can't imagine the original creator for Shadow making him the edge lord he is in this game.
I honestly don't mind this characterization. When he's happy he is snarky and enjoys just playing the edgelord persona almost like a cartoony villain. Maybe it's just the delivery that's grabbing me but the voice acting actually works very well in favor of this shadow.
Omgosh, I had to stop several times so I didn't laugh out loud and wake my sleeping family. There's something about the timing/tone of some of these that's just too funny XD
the best/worst part of shadow the hedgehog for me is that a) Shadow and Sonic are voiced by Jason Griffith so I keep imagining Cilan from pokemon is saying these things b) two time tony award nominated actor Andrew Rannells plays some random GUN soldier
Credit where credit is due: your choices actually do matter in Shadow the Hedgehog. You legit get 10 different endings depending on how you complete missions. Yes, I know the true ending nulls all of those endings but that's not the point.

I played this game on release as a 12 year old and was uncritical enough to love it. I'm so glad that it's having a meme renaissance
I love how shadow talks about the ultimate life form bringing peace and saying he knows what to do, then immediately cuts to him going to the circus.
Even the ultimate lifeform needs fun
Don't forget the icing on the cake evil accompanying laughter in the background
I don’t know why but ever single delivery of Mike Pollock saying “what” is the funniest shit too me.
That was my entire reaction to basically the whole shadow's story past heroes
1:10 I love that "what??" Eggman just sounds like he's in a play and Shadow just ad-libbed and is like "dude shadow, that's not part of the script, what are you doing!"
I know this is where people say sonic went downhill, but I don’t care. I love this game for how bad it is. It’s like an interactive shitpost. If Sega made a game with this exact tone but self aware it would be funniest game in the series
This game good tho???
Nah this is the best spin-off of the franchise
Wich that the curse of Sonic not having that good spin-offs will never be broken
This is when Shadows character started to go downhill, I wouldn't say the games until a bit later but this is the first instance of Shadow being edgy the hegy. I love this game tho for how ridiculous it is.
Sonic games may be of questionable quality, but they make for prime shitpost material.
Not really, this Shadow doesn't remember anything, he's not Shadow, to put it in some way, he's just an empty shell, in the middle of a war, in which he doesn't know who to support, at the end of the game the guy matures and develops much, as a character, he becomes a better Shadow, whose personality, is seen perfectly in Sonic 2006, more focused, more serious, but kind and respectful, with others, the truth is the growth and evolution of his character during, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the hedgehog, Sonic Battle and Sonic 2006, is perfectly carried, you can feel, how his person changes for the better.
3:50 as someone who has never played the game this close-up is terrifying.
His laugh 3:53 i think
Emulate it, every level is a speed level.
That is the face of a mentally deranged living being.
thought it was just me
2:32 That sounds like something snapcube would've said in the dub, not for real
“Uh, bing-bong, hey what’s up you’re doin a bad job”
@@lunafox45”i know im doing a bad job!”
@@moocake057”yes, okay, so-..”
After somebody throws a baby
What I like about this game's story is how campy and overdramatic it is, from the movements to the goofy dialogue to the fact that Shadow is having a million different mental breakdowns at once while Sonic's over in the corner doing air guitar or some shit. The whole game just oozes cheese and, seeing as I'm the registered Cheese Man, I can safely say that this cheese is Fresher than the Prince of Bel-Air
Omg yes XD
tvtropes would call that narm charm
Ironically, the scene at 1:13 is the intro cutscene for a level its only really possible to reach if you've either completed the hero mission on every level since ethe first level, or completed the first level as neutral and the following 2 as hero.
Either way you've had to do a bunch of missions as a hero and are now on the "full hero" path, yet you have this hilarious cut scene depicting Shadow as a Saturday morning cartoon moustache twirling villain who steals candy from babies.
Facking love that scene
such a powerful scene
@@yohhh6715 Indeed, I've been working on 100% completing the game lately and I'm having a blast with it.
I see it that way: as he is referring to babys and not kids it Is actually a good thing to take candy away from baby’s who don’t have the capability to eat (or even digest) candy and could easily choke on it.
Bro I forgot how fucking funny Sonic is in this game, his constant positivity is such a contrast to Shadow it’s hilarious
Sonic: “Shadow… what are you gonna do with them…?”
“Mhh hahaha…” *Immediately books into the nearest amusement park*

Sorry, but I just can't get over how unnecessarily close he gets to Shadow's face when he says "You up for this Shadow?" And then just hops away like a total goof 😆
WOOF WOOF WOOF
2:44 "Shadow looks up at Shadow."
Oh god, it all makes sense now.
3:42 Eggman's "what" has me dead every time i hear it. He sounds so fed up with Shadow going "Doctor" all the time
DAMN, Vector tries so hard to be supportive and understanding, even though he expresses emotions in such a weird way, it's so hilarious I can't
2:50 i can't with this part 💀💀
"am i..?"
"yes!"
"...what?"😧

I think shadows expression when he says "what?" Is the funniest part of it lmao
Shadow : I didn't even ask yet *Egghead*
I know this was just cutscenes, but I feel like P2 Maria deserves an honorable mention as the dumbest thing in the game.
She may be slowly dying, but that won’t stop her from barreling through objects at super speed and bitch slapping Artificial Chaos.

2:14 & 4:32 I did not expect that transition. X'D Great job for this video !
Thank you!
Shadow: “Now… I know what I have to do.” *employs the Joestar Secret Technique*
The absolute funniest part of the "taking candy from a baby" line is that you get it by going through the hero route and then taking an evil route right near the end. Which has Shadow being a morally good character fighting to help the world, just to suddenly give that line when he finds the Chaos Emerald onboard their ship. Lol
It's actually even funnier than that, it's in the pure hero path.
@@JonnySpec Fuck! That is even funnier.
1:14 the silence after he delivered that line was amazing XD
he was trying so hard to finish the sentence with something until giving up, legendary
@@yohhh6715 dude has the balls to roast babies without fear of looking like a coward. True sigma, sonic is a beta in comparison who would consider how others feel, but not shadow. XD
I'm joking btw, i don't actually think being cruel to babies is ok at all, unless they fall over, then I'm laughing. :)
0:40 "We have technology" ahh computer punch
I don't really know anything about this game, but it feels like shadow made the entire game to show how cool and edgy he is
Sonic team majorly failed at making him cool. This game is ridiculous but it’s fucking funny
"Cool"
@@EmmaxoOCE Shadow just spiraled down after SA2 tbh.
@@RealAGuy Yea you’re not wrong. I think one of his worst moments has to be in sonic boom where he tells sonic he’s pathetic for hanging out with his friends, whilst his backstory is basically just about his sister like friend dying and him being upset about it. Sonic teams writing is 💩
@@EmmaxoOCE Sonic team as a whole can’t write anything good and completely forgot the appeal of sonic as a franchise, hell the only reason people like 2000s sonic writing these days either has nostalgia or likes the stories because sonic and his orbit of friends are present.
I could go on about it but I won’t.

1:07 & 2:51 & 3:37
Why am I laughing?
it’s the way eggman said “what” 💀
3:56
How the hell did they manage to make a simple "What?" so funny three times!?
“Not a chance!”
“What?🤨”
i’m cackling i love this scene
3:37
The way he said “Doctor” in such a soft spoken manner plus the sheer exasperation in Eggman’s “What?” right after makes it feel like they’re having marital issues
2:52 he's like "yes what? you didn't explained!... how am i supposed to understand??"
2:09: shadow: “Its my job and responsibility is to be the worlds saviour, the duty of the ultimate life-form...“
Also shadow: “oh sweet a theme park!”
Also Shadow:
**WhErE's** that DAMN... Fourth Chaos Emerald ?!!??"
Sonic and shadow never fail to make me wheeze. Shadow could be in a life changing event and reflecting on his past and sonic could make a joke at the worst possible time.
I know they are rivals (sort of) but they are one of the best duos for sure
(You know I have issues when they are my comfort duo)

at 3:46 the kids face made me burst out laughing XD
I don't care what anyone says, I will always love Shadow the Hedgehog. The edge, the campiness, the legitimate moments where Shadow questions his own existence and purpose amidst the manipulation of those who want to take advantage of his amnesiac vulnerability, to the ultimate resolution of Shadow letting go of the past and making way to the amazing character that was graced in 06...all packaged in a game where Shadow is definitely fine with taking candy from a baby lol ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶a̶d̶d̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶i̶e̶n̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶e̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶1̶0̶0̶c̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶t̶h̶r̶o̶p̶o̶m̶o̶r̶p̶h̶i̶c̶ ̶h̶e̶d̶g̶e̶h̶o̶g̶ ̶l̶m̶a̶o̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶i̶g̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶. It's a flawed game but for all it's faults, I will unironically love this game as it distracted me in my tough times in highschool right before the pandemic started.
I agree
Wait MARIA IS THAT YOU?!!
lol hes 100cm
0:34 He def reads sonadow fanfic on ao3 when his wife isn't around
It's hilarious when you contrast this to Metal Gear Rising as a spinoff where that game is supposed to be more mature, but allows itself to go hammy with itself and Raiden. Whereas SEGA really took this so seriously that you wonder if the storyboard writers really lack this much self awareness.
I wonder if the orginal creator for Shadow helped write him in this or not, cause he takes a huge shift in his character. Like I wanna know if they stuck a bunch of new people who've never worked on any Sonic games.
@@Olivia-dg4fb the writer for sa2 isn't credited for this game
@@juhadexcelsior yeah that makes sense
@@Olivia-dg4fb Well this game was written by Takashi Iizuka who is the second most important person in creating Shadow's character as director of SA2 right after SA2's writer Shiro Maekawa.
But to be entirely fair here a lot of the seeming shift in Shadow's game is down to the translation team decided to increase the edge level of the game by a lot. Like there added to many damns and similar changes that Shadow ends up way edgier than intended.
@@rynobehnke8289 yeah I keep like can't see them going from SA2 writing of Shadow to this version, I will definitely take a look at what the game is like before the translation team did its thing. I have been getting back into Sonic and SA2 was a game I loved as a kid, and I only have played the English dub. So learning about how lines had be changed and the meaning behind them was a lot. I just can't imagine the original creator for Shadow making him the edge lord he is in this game.
2:50 “w h a h t?” 😭
Ngl that seems like a realistic reaction but it’s too damn funny
1:14 Literally the most funniest and cringiest villain quote ever 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Lol and that’s the Hero Route
I thought I was the only one who thought that! Lmao
And the most interesting thing is that most of these quotes are just cases of bad translation from japanese to english.
He means he’s fine with the emerald being exposed, not with taking candy from a baby.
i love him so much
Eggman: “You’ve done well, now hand them over!”
Shadow: “Not a chance!”
Eggman:
“…what?”
I honestly don't mind this characterization. When he's happy he is snarky and enjoys just playing the edgelord persona almost like a cartoony villain. Maybe it's just the delivery that's grabbing me but the voice acting actually works very well in favor of this shadow.

Credit where credit is due: your choices actually do matter in Shadow the Hedgehog. You legit get 10 different endings depending on how you complete missions. Yes, I know the true ending nulls all of those endings but that's not the point.
