=== Sonic Adventure 2/Sonic Adventure 2: Battle ===
Gerald Robotnik is introduced late in the story when Dr. Eggman has successfully obtained all of the Chaos Emeralds. Gerald Robotnik's failsafe aboard the Space Colony ARK is activated and a recorded message from the late Gerald Robotnik is broadcast explaining that the ARK will collide with and destroy the earth.
Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna encounter the Biolizard, the prototype for the Ultimate Life Form. Shadow the Hedgehog, the final Ultimate Life Form, defeats the Biolizard and Knuckles deactivates the ARK's collision course. However, the Biolizard revives itself and continues the collision course itself. Sonic and Shadow use the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic and Super Shadow and defeat the Biolizard for a second time. They then use Chaos Control, a teleportation technique using the Chaos Emeralds, to place the ARK back in orbit and stopping the professor's evil plans.
=== Shadow the Hedgehog ===
Many years before the events of the game, Maria had become fatally ill and Gerald Robotnik created the Space Colony ARK, using the ARK as a life support while he began to find a cure. He then had the idea for a creation that could hopefully cure Maria: Project Shadow.
Gerald Robotnik was, however, struggling with the project until he had met an alien, known as Black Doom. Using Doom's DNA, he gave life to Project Shadow. However, soon he finds out about Doom's true intentions, which is to destroy the earth, and prepares the ARK to act against Black Doom when the time should come.
