I hereby claim that Shadow the Hedgehog from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise (Sonic Team, Sega) officially died in Sonic Adventure 2 after battling the Final Hazard. Any appearances of Shadow the hedgehog in a mainstream game after Sonic Adventure 2 are false conspiracies.  The old Shadow we know and love in Sonic Adventure 2 is not the Shadow of today who has guns and vehicles.  The original Shadow is the Shadow that died saving the world to fulfill Maria's promise. Lastly, I claim that if a Sonic Adventure 3 were ever created, I would hope Shadow the hedgehog remains dead, as he rightfully should, in order to keep Sonic Adventure 2 as a truthful game. Thus I am signing this treaty to proclaim that Shadow the Hedgehog officially died in Sonic Adventure 2.
