Chronology
Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails unite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike any they’ve ever encountered. With the advantage, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance. The creators of the previous films have cited playing Sonikku adobenchâ 2 (2001) and Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) as inspirations. The film is also inspired by narrative elements from the Saturday morning animated television series Sonic the Hedgehog (1993).
