An overlooked stage in the Sonic universe, is the Sonic Movie 3 DLC for Sonic x Shadow Generations. The [Extra] Tokyo Stage, can be accessed in Shadow’s story, where Shadow takes the form of Movie Shadow, with voice acting done by none other than Keanu Reeves himself! A thrilling stage, and an awesome DLC extra!

My Entry for the Nintenphoto Sonic Challenge!

(This photo came together with a Switch 2 using the screenshot feature, a Macbook to display the screenshot for the background, a mini Sonic Movie 3 Shadow figure from Jakks Pacific, some stone wall diorama props for the foreground, and some post editing effects for smoke, sparks, and fire.)
