Sonic doesn't try to be the best, he is the best, and aside from early issue of Sonic the Comic, I've never Sonic to have a massive appetite, in fact, he's only recently shown to eat food.

Shadow never had any intention of beating Sonic, as far as he was concerned he was just another nuisense. Vegeta is driven by his desire to suppas Goku, Shadow just enjoys fighting Sonic.
