Carls493 | Shadow the Hedgehog: Story Cycle 5: Part 7: The Ark (Dark Mission) @Carls493 | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
When Black Doom was impressed enough with Shadow's villainy, he warped Shadow to the (present-day) site of Space Colony ARK.
He reminded Shadow of the ARK's ultimate weapon for humanity's defense: The Eclipse Cannon. Black Doom then summoned a Black Hawk to send Shadow towards the ARK and towards the Eclipse Cannon in a prosperity ritual to take over the world instead of using the cannon to protect it.
----------
This level is the polar opposite of Space Gadget. While Space Gadget was more speed-focused, The Ark is more slower paced, as more of your course through this level involves riding on a Black Volt and using it to shoot down GUN enemies and the Dark Mission objectives.
Speaking of which, there are only two missions here, thanks to this level's position in the full stage grid:
- Dark Mission: Destroy all 4 defense systems. This is actually also Space Gadget Dark Mission, except with less targets.
- Normal Mission: Reach aboard the center of the ARK by getting to its Goal Ring.
I picked the Dark Mission, here, and this will also be the only time you see this stage in this Story Mode playthrough.
"Say your prayers, you disgusting humans!"
