	Games - Chaos Control

In the fictional universe of the Sonic the Hedgehog games, Chaos Control is a power that can be activated through use of the mystical Chaos Emeralds. Chaos Control refers to both the specific power utilised by Shadow the Hedgehog in the video game Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow The Hedgehog, and for other general effects brought about through use of the Chaos Emeralds.

Teleportation

Chaos Control was introduced along with Shadow the Hedgehog in the game Sonic Adventure 2, when Shadow uses a single Chaos Emerald to warp space and time and thereby teleport himself across distances. Shadow used the ability several times, and was even able to use the ability to take other objects or beings with him, with varying amounts of effort. Later, the Biolizard and Sonic the Hedgehog himself both displayed the ability to use Chaos Control (Sonic using a fake emerald), though Sonic has since seemed reluctant to use it too often.

It was first used during Shadow's meeting with Sonic, and later when Shadow reluctantly saved Rouge the Bat from the cargo room in Prison Island. Sonic used it almost subconsciously to save himself when he was ejected into space. It was also used in Sonic and Shadow's final duel and to save the world from the collision of space colony ARK into the planet.

After Sonic Adventure 2, Chaos Control appeared only rarely, but nevertheless had an important role. Metal Sonic acquired the ability to use Chaos Control at the end of Sonic Heroes upon copying Sonic and Shadow's data. Many of Shadow's attacks during Sonic Battle involved Chaos Control of some description.

Also, Shadow is capable of using Chaos Control when he fills his "hero" meter in the recent Shadow the Hedgehog game. The effects appear different than before, as Shadow is just transported at high speeds to a farther point in the level, but this is actually just an illusion. Technically Shadow is being transported across distances like in the previous games. Members of the Black Arms, Black Doom and possibly the Black Assassins also use Chaos Control.

Other Uses of Chaos Control

Usually, Chaos Control is synonymous with teleportation, although it can affect reality in a multitude of manners. When used by the player, Chaos Control stops time or moves the player through the level at a high speed, often releasing bursts of energy.

In Sonic Heroes, Chaos Control is part of Team Dark's Team Blast, "Chaos Inferno". When activated, the power stop the time of everything around them for a few seconds after the, "Chaos Inferno".

In Sonic Battle, all of Shadow's attacks involve Chaos Control in some form or another.

In Shadow the Hedgehog
, Chaos Control has two uses. In normal stages, Shadow blasts through parts of the level automatically (although there are some gliches; Shadow sometimes stops over water or a bottomless pit). If Chaos Control is used during a boss level, everything will slow down significantly except Shadow.

Chaos Control is a plot device in Sonic Advance 3 that separates the world into several different regions. Similarly, in the anime Sonic X
, Chaos Control brings Sonic and his friends from their own planet to Earth. Note that Sonic X occurs in a subtly different continuity to the games, which canonically all occur on Earth.

Other Chaos Powers

Appearing first in Sonic Adventure 2, Chaos Spear is an attack that shoots energy around an opponent, similar to Sonic's Sonic Wind.

The game Shadow the Hedgehog features another Chaos-based power called Chaos Blast. This power is available when Shadow fills his "dark" meter, and is used to destroy his surroundings.

In Sonic Battle, Shadow possesses many forms of Chaos powers. Some of the most prominent are Chaos Nightmare, in which his hands form a purple aura around themselves and damage surrounding enemies, Chaos Burst, which seems to be a variation of Chaos Blast on a smaller scale, and Wandering Chaos, in which Shadow lets loose a small orb of Chaos energy which follows him and impacts opponents.
