Jeff Fowler, director of the Sonic movies, is incorporating elements from the 2005 game Shadow the Hedgehog into Sonic 3. He was part of the original game's production team and aims to honor that experience in the new film. Fowler mentioned that some fight choreography in Sonic 3 mirrors scenes from Shadow the Hedgehog. He specifically referenced a moment where Sonic collapses, revealing Shadow, as a direct homage to the game. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is set to release in U.S. theaters on December 20 and in the UK on December 21.
