Team Sonic heads to Tokyo, butShadow the Hedgehogtakes all three of them down with ease.
Both Shadow and Ivo sacrifice their lives to stop Gerald from killing all of humanity.
This means that he arrived on Earth in the mid-1970s.
This confirms thatShadow is an alien in theSonicmovies, just like the titular hedgehog.
However, Shadow and Sonic arrive on Earth in drastically different ways.
Why Shadow crash-landed on Earth and what planet he came from is not revealed inSonic the Hedgehog 3.

The GUN scientists, led by Gerald Robotnik, believed Shadow’s powers could allow humanity to flourish.
While at the GUN base,Shadow formed a special bond with Maria, Gerald’s granddaughter.
Upon waking up, he vowed to get revenge for Maria’s death.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 reunites Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails as they face a formidable new adversary, Shadow. With Shadow’s unprecedented powers posing a significant threat, Team Sonic seeks an unexpected alliance to thwart his plans and safeguard the planet.
Instead of crash-landing on Earth,Shadow was created by Gerald Robotnik in the video games.
This means that Shadow is technically not an alien in the games, and is instead a man-made creation.
Gerald Robotnik created Shadow to make it save his granddaughter.
Another major difference is thatMaria suffered from a rare terminal disease in the video games.
Therefore, Gerald Robotnik created Shadow to save his granddaughter.
Shadow was designed to be the ultimate life form.
He was created as part of the secretive Project Shadow, the goal of which was to achieve immortality.
Shadow is still an extremely powerful being with a close connection to both Maria and Gerald.
However,Sonic the Hedgehog 3changes specific details of Shadow’s origin.
Making Shadow an alien means he’s more similar to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.
However,it is still unclear exactly what Shadow’s home planet is.
This is something that could be explored in future movies.
Maria was completely healthy in the movie, and could have had a long, happy life.
The ring will return Shadow to his previous power level.
