Shadow is technically 50+ but physically 15 (as said on his wikia) What? His wikia page says 50+ (chronologically), sure but it never says what biological age he is. We only know his body is frozen in this state and cannot physically age, canon wise. In the Trivia, it says something to do with it being said on one of the game manuals (2006 I think), but it was never publically released. Those guides are usually full of flaws. True.

But it still makes sense, considering he is pretty much the same height and weight as Sonic (who is 15) and, overall, physically almost identical to him. Also, since all of the older characters (18 and over) tend to be much taller in height, etc., it's hard to say he is any older than Knuckles or Rouge, so 15 sounds pretty accurate to me.
