Team Dark

Team Dark from Sonic Heroes.

Team Dark, found in Sonic Heroes is united in a common cause to find Dr. Eggman. Rouge the Bat, the founder of the team and its resident flyer, wants to find Eggman's secret treasure. Shadow the Hedgehog, the speed specialist, wants to know his true identity and why he was left inside a pod. E-123 Omega, the fully-armed robot, is angry with Eggman for abandoning him and wishes to prove his power to him.

The missions of Team Dark are the most action-oriented in the game, calling for them to blast through giant hordes of enemies to reach the goal ring, and therefore recommended for experienced players. To accommodate for this, Team Dark has some of the more offensive techniques at its disposal.

Speed Formation: Shadow

• Homing Attack: Hit the button twice to increase the amount of air time. If used on a row of enemies, Shadow can bounce off them and to where ever they lead.
• Spin: Hold either while standing still or running to increase speed and attack enemies.
• Rocket Accel: Hold and wait for team mates to follow behind and release for a steady pace, or press again for second team mate to hit you further and faster.
• Tornado: Press while jumping in midair to have Shadow unleash a stationary black whirlwind that blows the armor off all nearby enemies.
• Kick: Hold the button to perform a somersault, getting across areas in fast motion. This can be used either as a attack or to destroy crates.
• Triangle Jump: When in a narrow area, tilt the D-pad toward either wall and use to home in on the surface and briefly latch on. Continue tapping to leap from wall to wall and zigzag through the crevice. Tap to let go.
