Shadow is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Shadow is one of the eight third-party characters in the game, alongside the third-parties from previous games. He was the eighth third-party character to be revealed in the game.

In the English version, Shadow is voiced by Kirk Thornton, reprising his role from Super Smash Bros. 4 as an Assist Trophy. This proceeds his succession of Shadow's previous voice actor, Jason Griffith.

Shadow also has alternate voices for the French, Spanish, German, and Italian versions, as Sonic the Hedgehog games from Sonic Generations onward were dubbed into those languages. However, the Japanese version simply recycled Koji Yusa's voice clips from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4, who has been his Japanese voice actor since Sonic Adventure 2.
