Shadow, we seem to have a problem with rats running loose on the base. Return immediately to the Black Comet and exterminate them!


Black Doom, Shadow the Hedgehog

Black Comet (ブラックコメット Burakku Kometto?) is one of the sixth stages in Shadow the Hedgehog, and the final stage in the "Dark" path. It is the home of the Black Arms and their leader, Black Doom. It is reached by completing the Normal mission of either The ARK or Air Fleet, or the Dark mission of Iron Jungle.

Description[]

Story[]

After Shadow either helps Dr. Eggman dispose of the GUN troops in Iron Jungle, or claims the fifth Chaos Emerald in the ARK or Air Fleet for himself, Black Doom telepathically informs him that GUN soldiers have been raiding the Black Comet, and orders him to exterminate them. Meanwhile, the comet itself is seen passing by the Space Colony ARK.

Upon infiltrating the Black Comet, Shadow comes across Doom's Eye, who has him eliminate the invading GUN troops. Shortly after, however, he finds Knuckles, who wants him to go with him to claim the Chaos Emerald the Black Arms have stolen.

  • Dark: Shadow fights off the GUN soldiers as has been ordered, and gets the sixth Chaos Emerald. Soon after, he is confronted by Sonic and the Commander, who is piloting the unfinished Diablon mech. He, however, manages to defeat them and gets the final Emerald in the aftermath. When interrogated by a beaten Sonic, the black hedgehog reveals that he, being the Ultimate Life Form created to protect Black Doom, will use the gems to transform earth into the "dark empire".
  • Hero: Shadow ignores Black Doom's orders and steals their Chaos Emerald with Knuckles' help. Afterwards, he is unexpectedly confronted by Dr. Eggman in the Egg Dealer, who commands him to hand over the six Emeralds. He, however, refuses, needing the gems to find out about his past. Enraged, the doctor fights the hedgehog, who, with the echidna's aid, defeats him. In the aftermath, Shadow gets the final Chaos Emerald and announces that he, and only he, knows what is best, and that no one can tell him what to do. Soon after, he strikes down Eggman.

Gameplay[]

Weapons[]

The following weapons can be found in Black Comet:

Secret Key locations[]

  1. From the beginning of the Stage, take the route that leads to the Gun Beetles. Before jumping onto the second Air Saucer, destroy the Red Slime behind the Gun Beetle on the left to find the Key.
  2. After the second Save Point, hop on the Air Saucer and navigate to the back of the area where the Key is hidden.
  3. After going through the big blue door following the large grinding section, go left.
  4. The Key is on the path just before dropping down to the bottom level following the seventh Save Point.
  5. Use an Air Saucer to navigate around the Chaos Emerald and the final Key will be found.

Behind the Secret Door lies a spring that will take the player to the upper level of the block, where there is a GUN turret and a Special Weapon Container.

Overview[]

Story Mode[]

Dark mission[]

Guide Mission Objective
Shadow the Hedgehog - Dark Mission - Doom's Eye Exterminate the GUN forces! Defeat the 50 GUN Soldiers.

The player must defeat fifty GUN Soldiers to complete this mission, with the following amounts required by each Save Point:

  • Save Point #2: 6
  • Save Point #3: 9
  • Save Point #4: 10
  • Save Point #5: 20
  • Save Point #6: 34
  • Save Point #7: 44

Throughout the stage, the player will be riding an Air Saucer often. There are few places that the main path must be deviated from in order to find the GUN Soldiers. After the first Save Point, ride the Air Saucer to the right of the tunnel farther down and get onto the land on the right. This will lead to two GUN Troopers. Upon reaching the next Air Saucer, a total of six GUN Soldiers should have been defeated.

After the fifth Save Point, the player will once again get on Air Saucer and ride through a canal. There are many Big Foot mechs in the canal, but the upper paths are crawling with Gun Beetles as well. Once at the end, avoid going into the Warp Hole until sure that all the GUN Troopers have been destroyed. Upon reaching the large area with the Death Worms, defeat the Black Assassins in order to lower the barrier. In the next area that Shadow can walk on, Light Dash across the Rings to the door and touch the seventh Save Point. The remaining enemies are between here and the Goal Ring.

Hero mission[]

Guide Mission Objective
Shadow the Hedgehog - Hero Mission - Knuckles Find the center of the Black Comet! Reach the Goal Ring.

The player must reach the center of the comet. Begin by using the air Saucer after the first Save Point, and go underneath the bridge that is straight ahead. If the player keep continuing straight, the player will eventually reach the second Save Point. From here, get on the Air Saucer, and go straight ahead until reaching two GUN Troopers. Go to the right to get Knuckles then use the speed ramp to boost up to another platform with a switch. Ride the platform up to the next level, then, after going through the blue door, drop down to the lower area. Run down the path, and get on the Air Saucer at the end. Ride it to the other shore, run down the hallway, then use it to get to the land on the right. Destroy the Black Assassin here and jump across the platforms to the other side, then enter the Warp Hole.

After the fourth Save Point, when the player sees a wide open area, they will need to be on an Air Saucer. Use the Dash Ring to get into the sea of black then head left to get back to land. Once at the end of a long path with many Gun Beetles, the player will enter a Warp Hole.

Just past the sixth Save Point is a large circular area. Grind down the first red vine, then walk along the path until reaching the second torch. From there, drop straight down. Once the next Air Saucer is reached, go straight through the large area and defeat the three enemies to lower the barrier. Once on land again, Light Dash using the Rings and go through the door to the seventh Save Point. The Goal Ring is easily accessible from here.

Trivia[]

  • The music for this stage is a remix of the music in Prison Island, being smoother sounding and more jazz-esque.
  • Many parts of this stage are identical to Final Haunt, only flooded with toxic liquid. For example, the first room in Black Comet is the same room where Shadow first finds the Vacuum Pod in Final Haunt.
