The Last Way
From Sonic Retro
The Last Way is the final stage in Shadow the Hedgehog. It is accessed by obtaining all ten of the regular endings. The stage can not be played from the stage select menu. Players must either select the "Last Story" option from the story menu, or play through the "Expert Mode".
Purpose
Black Doom has installed the Black Comet on earth. Using it, he releases a paralyzing gas that affects all of the planet's inhabitants. Just as Shadow the Hedgehog is about to use the Chaos Emeralds to find the secrets to his past, Black doom steals them and reveals his true intentions. The Black Arms will conquer the Earth and use its inhabitants as an energy source. Shadow is the only one able to break free of Black Doom's paralysis, and thus chases him into the comet in order to free everyone.
Gameplay
The only enemies present are the Black Arms. Certain parts of the stage can not be passed without using Chaos Control. To help the player, there are infinite enemies present in these areas. The scenery can still be destroyed to build up the Dark Gauge. The Last Way is the only stage in the game that has only one mission, and is one of two levels that a rank is not awarded for. Finding the five keys opens a door that contains a shortcut to the near end of the stage.
