| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Shadow the Hedgehog (video game) |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film) |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | To show the deliberate similarity between this and a clip from Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Fowler is quoted in a GamesRadar article, cited within the film’s article, saying explicitly that the parallel to this specific moment was intentional. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible. |
| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
The visual similarity is concisely conveyed by showing the two clips together in a manner that cannot be quickly or concisely conveyed in text, and this is a strong example given how short of a clip it is |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | Only two seconds or so from the opening (1m30s or so) cinematic of a game which takes several hours to fully complete. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site. |
| Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (film)//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shadow-game-crumple.giftrue | |
