This is largely thanks to one of Shadow’s apparent powers, which is taken directly from the games.
In the trailer forSonic the Hedgehog 3, Shadow is seen repeatedly teleporting his way through several fights.
These powerful items are able to imbue people with immense power in the games.
Chaos Control instead impacts space and time, slowing down events around the user.
In Shadow’s original appearance, he worked alongside Dr. Eggman and used Chaos Emeralds to amplify himself.
In the film, the threat of Shadow is enough that Sonic must turn to Dr. Robotnik for help.
