Shadow the Hedgehog Is Now Sort of, But Not Really, Playable in Sonic Superstars

SEGA has played Sonic fans the world over with a pretty amusing bit of DLC for its colourful side-scroller, Sonic Superstars. To celebrate the announcement of Sonic X Shadow Generations, a new costume is now available for free, and it brings the infamous anti-hero, Shadow the Hedgehog, to the action — well, kind of.

The DLC isn’t actually a full-blown playable Shadow, as fans would want. Instead, it’s an outfit for Sonic that makes it look like he’s wearing a Shadow costume. You can see what we mean in the above video; it gives the effect of playing as Shadow, but Sonic’s telltale blue interrupts the look.

It’s quite funny. SEGA probably could’ve spent a little more time to make this a full-on reskin for Sonic, especially as the characters are parallels of each other. However, making the Shadow costume literally a costume is somehow worse and better at the same time.

Anyway, will you be rocking the Shadow outfit in Sonic Superstars? Live and learn in the comments section below.
