Game appearances
Shadow the Hedgehog
In order to use Chaos Blast, the player must first trigger Dark Shadow mode by performing enough dark deeds to fill the Dark Gauge. In Dark Shadow mode, Shadow glows a bright red color and has enhanced abilities.
Once in Dark Shadow mode, the player must press the upper controller button. Shadow will summon energy to himself and release, causing a massive explosion that will damage all targets in a somewhat wide radius of himself. With the exception of humans, smaller targets are completely destroyed, and larger targets lose a significant amount of health. Chaos Blasts can be used in succession to gain altitude, though normal gameplay only allows for three unless there are quite a few enemies around that where killed by the blast to increase the Dark Gauge more. Shadow may also use Chaos Blast as Super Shadow.

In Sonic and the Black Knight during the Deep Woods mission Lancelot Returns, Lancelot can use a move similar to Chaos Blast called "Knight of Chaos". When the sword Ddraig Goch is acquired this move becomes useable, changing his Soul Surge from a move like Chaos Control to Knight of Chaos.
