Toxic marsh

The toxic marsh is an obstacle that appears in the Central City stage of Shadow the Hedgehog.

Overview
The toxic marsh is a pool of green poisonous liquids that is utilized by the Black Arms as a weapon against the GUN forces in Central City. It is spread across a large portion of the Central City stage, covering large junks of streets, with only the sidewalks remaining safe, which can make it difficult to traverse and slow down the player’s progress in locating small bombs. As such, the player’s best option to traverse these areas is to either enter Hero/Dark Shadow states or to use a vehicle.
