Lava Shelter - Shadow the Hedgehog [OST]

[@EuroMIX2]

Something this level exemplifies that is a clear improvement over previous games (that often gets attributed to Unleashed first instead), is that they finally fixed rail-switching so it's no longer risky to do. I actually wish there were more levels with extensive rail grinding sections akin to Rail Canyon in this game because they handled the mechanic so well this time.

[@Reynsoon]

This has the best rails of any 3D Sonic game that came out before or after it.

[@JorgeLeitner]

@EuroMIX2 You're absolutely right.

[@aortaplatinum]

Actually, since Shadow is clearly running on an enhanced version of the Heroes framework, it probably wouldn't be super difficult to port Heroes levels up to the Shadow framework

[@joshwillcox7141]

Right they improve on so much but all anyone says is 'sonic character with guns haha this dumb!'

[@joshwillcox7141]

I like both the more mature takes on sonic stories and the slightly sillier stuff. Heroes dipped a bit in general character conveyance but colours decimated the cast!

[@AquaticManta]

It sucks that it’s not on Spotify

[@faded9581]

I believe this level is not only the best in the game, but exemplifies the idealized form that the game should’ve taken. The multiple pathways actually offer different experiences, the rail grinding section is actually rewarding and challenging as you must use maneuverability, speed, and shooting accuracy to maximize your skill, and the uneven terrain gives you the rare opportunity to utilize the parkour abilities Shadow has life strafing, wall jump, slide cancel, gun hover. Shadow’s controls, slipperiness aside, have an incredible amount of depth and variety to them and it’s a damn shame they were never properly utilized. The closest they came was here.

[@jackhumphries1087]

I feel that lava shelter embodies the neutral path’s disconnect from what the game is and how it differs from other sonic games, how you need to traverse it by playing shadow’s levels like you’re playing a normal sonic game, just going to the end, ignoring the missions, in fact, the later stages on the neutral path tend to be more like sonic levels(mainly sky troops and lava shelter), how black doom is significantly less present in this route compared to the rest of the game, with the neutral route mainly revolving around eggman, and how the ending of the route doesn’t involve black doom at all, and doesn’t give any conclusion to the conflict between humanity and the black arms following eggman’s death. It feels like it’s own game. Lava shelter doesn’t really use many of the mechanics introduced in shadow and mainly expands on what previous 3d games did, like rail grinding.

[@faded9581]

That actually makes sense. Lava Shelter is the level that just doesn't make sense entirely. Thanks for helping me understand though!

[@TheBohobemeister]

@@deserteagle6428 You're welcome!

[@TequilaMockingBird91]

Dr. Eggman expected Shadow to activate his lava defenses to protect himself from GUN. The reality is that while it does prevent GUN’s access, it also contains Dr. Eggman, thereby trapping himself within the volcano. Shadow realizes this and doesn’t want anyone to access Dr. Eggman before he does.

[@Darkalanche]

He's more like doing it like this: "I'm not trapping myself here and bolstering your defences against GUN. Now you're trapped in here with ME!"

[@LightningCayo]

Since someone left comments on how the music reflects Shadow in GUN Fortress and Final Haunt, my take on Lava Shelter is Shadow is full of anger and frustration, reasonably. He is on the hunt for Eggman after giving him the slip time and again, telling him he’s an “android”. Fueled by his frustration and anger, now he’s going to make Eggman pay. Lava Shelter could be symbolic of Hell I suppose, too. Even if the entire Shadow Android stuff is very silly. Also this song is a bop in general.

[@yohschannel5226]

I mean the first line is literally: ''I make you wish you never created me''

[@LightningCayo]

@@yohschannel5226 Yup. Shadow’s an angry hedgy.

[@DLxxx]

Yep. It's one of the few endings where Shadow is motivated purely by self-interest (that ultimately won't do much to help or hurt the planet), and doesn't care about anything else. G.U.N. and Black Doom really don't have much stake in this fight, hence why you don't fight them. It all makes for a fitting conclusion, since it's the penultimate stage of the true neutral route.

This and Prison Island has been stuck in my mind ever since I first played the game way back when I somehow thought that a gun-toting, motorcycle-riding, swearing cartoony hedgehog running around a gritty world under seige by demonic aliens who wants to eat humanity like cattle sounded like the coolest thing imaginable. Now, I just find it charming for how ridiculous the game is and how it takes itself completely seriously in spite of itself. In fact, I just recently finished the entire game again a couple days ago.

[@furiousfinch1587]

>a gun-toting, motorcycle-riding, swearing cartoony hedgehog running around a gritty world under seige by demonic aliens who wants to eat humanity like cattle sounded like the coolest thing imaginable What do you mean, "thought"? It IS the coolest thing imaginable, pretty much unironically.

[@CinosTheHedgehog2000]

I believe this is the best level in the entire game. Reasons below: 1) The level design is pretty good with some fun spectacle pieces. 2) The hero & dark choices make sense with Shadow's character. If you side with Omega, you race towards Eggman per Shadow's original goal, but if you instead help Eggman, Shadow rephrases the mission statement saying he only activated the defenses so nothing gets between him & Eggman, thereby not making it just another heel turn. 3) Activating the defense system increases the difficulty of the level, making you rethink how you're going to get through the level which is pretty cool. And 4) the music is awesome. Need I say more?

0:58 the muffled voices sound like they’re saying ‘Yes. You know I love you, you mean the world.

Then the Government deemed it a threat to humanity... Yes. You know I love you, - Alluding to Shadow’s love and care for Maria, or vice Versa. You mean the world - Maria and Gerald meaning the world to Shadow. But this sickness can’t help us all - We’ll never know if Shadow’s DNA could hold a cure for Maria’s sickness. That or the Government and GUN think Shadow as nothing but a plague to humanity and must be terminated.
