Shadow has only ever had his iconic motorcycle in a singular sonic racing game, and that's completely unacceptable. So instead of complaining on twitter, I decided to do something about it!

RIVALS:
Sonic, Rouge, and... Shadow??

Just giving him back his bike wasn't enough for me. I wanted shadow to REALLY stand out from the crowd!

He has more then a couple unique traits that help give him his own identity, largest of which being his unique item reskins!

Namely, Orbinauts, Jawz, Thunder Shields, and Invincibility have been turned in to Chaos Spear, Chaos Lance, Chaos Blast, and Chaos Control!

They may not be any stronger then their normal variants, but they sure do look neat!
(still images don't entirely do them justice LOL)

Additionally, I've also included a download for the kartmaker template used for shadow, and a lualess version of the mod for those who find the custom powerup effects distracting. I had a surprising number of people express interest in putting their own characters on the dark rider, or using it as a general base for an original motorcycle of some sort, so why not?

What else to say? This is perfection in the form of a .pk3 file.
