#one of Shadow's first levels is called ''VEGAENCE IS MINE''

Chaos Island's Inclusion in Shadow Generations, and how I believe that it's meant to represent parallels between Shadow and Tails (w/ some bonus Sonic-Maria parallels)

I've been thinking about Chaos Island's inclusion in Shadow generations, and after thinking about it for so long, I've decided that I like to think of it as a comparison between Shadow and Tails' characters.

Both characters have a certain feature about themselves that have made them think of themselves as 'freaks'. With Tails, that's his namesakes, and with Shadow, that's his Black Arms DNA.

They also both have a blue coloured older sibling with a love for the earth that they look up to. Said older siblings boosted their little brothers' self confidence, and said "hey, you're not a freak!" With Tails, that's Sonic, and with Shadow, that's Maria. Connecting to the last point, both Shadow and Tails have acted upon a wish made by their respective older siblings in their 'final moments'. With Tails, that's the moment before Sonic got ejected from the Ark when he trusted Tails to stop Eggman and save the planet from disaster, with Shadow, that's Maria's wish for Shadow bring hope to humanity.

Basically, what I'm getting at here is that our dearest Unbreakable Bond has some parallels with the Ark Siblings that are pretty hard to ignore

Also, the second Sonic and Maria 'died' (died is in quotations because Sonic doesn't actually die), Tails and Shadow went into

(And depressive episode mode, but vengeance mode is both cooler and funnier to say)
