1. All About Chao This is all the info you’ll need about raising your chao.

2. Hatching and Other Stuff Hatching and Other Stuff Hatching – When you enter the chao garden for the first time, you will see two eggs. Pick them up and hug them. Put them down and after a couple of seconds, the chao should hatch. Hatching – When you enter the chao garden for the first time, you will see two eggs. Pick them up and hug them.

When they are hungry they cry. When they cry they throw tantrums. Misc. - Raising chao are kind of like raising kids. They eat, sleep, go to school, and throw tantrums. When they are hungry they cry.

3. Feeding Feeding – to feed a chao, just go up to a tree and shake it. If you go to the black market (only in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, I’ll explain the black market later.) there are many other different fruits. But when you are first playing save your rings! These fruits cost money! Just stick to the fruits in the garden. They are free! Feeding – to feed a chao, just go up to a tree and shake it.

4. Praise and Discipline Praise - When a chao does something you want it to you pet it. When you just feel like giving it praise hug it. Don’t pet a chao while it is crying. If you do this a lot, your chao will become a cry baby. Praise - When a chao does something you want it to you pet it. When you just feel like giving it praise hug it. Don’t pet a chao while it is crying. If you do this a lot, your chao will become a cry baby. Discipline – Never throw your chao. Well you can…but then you are a meanie! When you throw a chao with a hero character it turns darker, and vice- versa. Discipline – Never throw your chao. Well you can…but then you are a meanie!

5. Animals and Chaos Drives. Animals and Chaos Drives. Chao aren’t only for feeding! They are for racing too! (And karate if you have SA2:B) Chao aren’t only for feeding! They are for racing too! (And karate if you have SA2:B) When you’re in stages (in the actual game) you kill enemies right? When you kill an enemy or robot, animals and chaos drives appear. If you are fighting a robot, you’ll get a chaos drive. This is usually common. Sometimes you’ll fight other enemies and get animals. You can also find animals just walking around in the stages. These raise stats. Stats are what help chao win when competing. When you’re in stages (in the actual game) you kill enemies right? When you kill an enemy or robot, animals and chaos drives appear.

6. Types of Drives and Animals. When you get chaos drives and animals they aren’t all the same color! Different colors lead up to different stats! There are 4 colors: swimming, flying, running, and power. There are also three more color categories for animals but not for chaos drives: normal, legendary, and ghost. Since these aren’t as important, I won’t talk about these as much. When you get chaos drives and animals they aren’t all the same color! Different colors lead up to different stats!

7. First Evolutions First Evolutions As time goes by in the chao garden you’ll notice differences in your chao. And if you’ve been giving it alot of drives and animals, the differences will be...cooler. If you gave it a lot of power (red) things it will turn into a power chao. It’s the same with each type Normal, legendary, and ghost don’t have evolutions.

8. Should I Be Hero? Dark? Or Neutral? This decision is up to you. If you mostly go into the chao garden with hero characters (Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles) then your chao will probably become a hero chao. If you go in more with dark characters (Shadow, Eggman, and Rouge) your chao will be a dark chao. Or you can use the hero and dark side for your chao and have a neutral chao.

9. Secondary Evolutions Once your chao has been around for a long time. And I mean a LONG time. Your chao will start looking different. Depending on what type of drives you give it… yada yada. Except when your chao goes into evolution this time. It won’t go into an egg. It just evolves gradually. If you have a colored chao, the changes won’t be as big.

10. Immortal Chao Immortal Chao When you chao has been reincarnated, or brought back to life twice you can make it immortal. On your chao’s third life you must bring 1 and ONLY 1 of each animal. No chaos drives. NO 2 of any animal. Just double of 1 animal will cause your chao not to become a chaos chao and you will have to wait until your chao’s next life. After you’ve done that. Just treat it normally. If you want neutral, hero, or dark chaos chao. You know what to do. When you chao has been reincarnated, or brought back to life twice you can make it immortal.

11. Chao Have Sex Too! Once your chao has been around for a while it will go into mating season. You can tell if a chao goes into mating season if you see it sitting down with a bunch of flowers surrounding it. Put another chao right next to it. (Chao can only mate with each other if they have evolved at least once.) Since this is a E rated game they wont get it goin’ on. They’ll just do a dance and another egg will appear. Depending on what chao mated is what kind of egg you will get. This is one way to get some of the rarest chao! Once your chao has been around for a while it will go into mating season.

12. Time for Another Public Humiliation At School! Time for Another Public Humiliation At School! T The Classroom We go to school, so do chao. Well not really, they just learn how to dance, sing, draw stuff, and play instruments. To make a chao learn stuff just bring it to the kindergarten and put it in the classroom. When you first start the game the kindergarten will not be there. You will need to go there again. Once they learn something they will do it in the chao garden.

13. The “Fortune Teller” The “Fortune Teller” Surprise! Surprise! This chao doesn’t tell fortunes! She gives your chao a random name. This is only for SA2:B though. This is great if you never have any names for your chao. However the chao names aren’t that great. There are names like Papoose. That’s the weirdest chao name I’ve ever seen. If you want to name the chao yourself just tell the fortune teller you don’t want the name she picked or anymore names she’ll pick and there ya go. Surprise! Surprise!

14. Check Up Time! Check Up Time! When a chao is first born it’s a good idea to bring him to the doctor. There you can see what race and medals he won and how far he is in karate. You can also see your chao’s personality, and the chao’s favorite fruit. When a chao is first born it’s a good idea to bring him to the doctor.

15. Check Up Time 2 Check Up Time 2 The most important thing here is the stat rankings. They are in letters E-S. E is the worst and S is the best. (rhymes huh?) There is a different ranking for each type of stat: Swimming, flying, running, power, and stamina. Your rank goes up in that stat if you evolve it. Say if my stamina ranking was D. To make it go up to a C, I would just evolve the chao into a normal adult chao. For power or the other stats, just evolve the chao into that type. The most important thing here is the stat rankings.

16. Chao Gardens Chao Gardens I bet you thought there was only 1 chao garden huh? Well you’re wrong. Remember in Sonic Adventure when there was 3? There’s 3 in this one too! (obviously) You get the Hero Garden by making a hero chao. You get the Dark Garden by making a dark chao. As I said before, Use hero characters for to-be hero chao. Use dark characters for to-be dark chao. I bet you thought there was only 1 chao garden huh? Well you’re wrong. Remember in Sonic Adventure when there was 3? There’s 3 in this one too!

17. The Black Market Here you can buy stuff for your chao. There are things here like: hats, different fruits, seeds to plant in the garden for different fruits, and different colored chao eggs. Obviously these things cost money, in this case…rings. To plant a seed in the chao garden you have to make a chao beat the first 2 chao races on level 3. Then just give the chao the seed and let him do it. This takes awhile. To get a skull or pumpkin for your chao to wear just use Rouge or Knuckles in the chao garden and dig in different spots until you find one. This works best in the Dark Garden.

18. Racing Like I said before, you can race your chao. By getting 1 st place in all of the races, you get some emblems. When you first see the racing menu there is only one category. There will be lots more once you beat the 4 races on beginner level. You have to beat all races on the 3 rd level….. You don’t get what I’m saying huh? Okay, I’ll explain. Every race has 3 levels. The 1 st one is easy. 2 nd medium (some times hard on the harder race categories) and hard (or impossible.) Beat all three levels on each race and you’ll be a racing champion.

19. Chao Karate Chao Karate Also in SA2:B there’s something new called Chao Karate. It’s a lot like racing. If you win, you get prizes. Your chao fight another chao using karate moves and stamina. If you beat all three levels (beginner, normal, and hard) you unlock a new level which you practically need level 99 or every stat to beat it! (It’s much easier getting level 99 stats if you have an immortal chao.) Also in SA2:B there’s something new called Chao Karate. It’s a lot like racing. If you win, you get prizes.

20. The Tiny Chao Garden The Tiny Chao Garden If you have Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, A GBA to GC (game cube) cord, and a GBA (game boy advance) you can put your chao on the GBA. It’s also useful if you have Sonic Advance 1, 2 or 3 so you can keep your chao in the game and save it. You can find eggs and fruits that you can’t find in the original game. Time also doesn’t pass there so your chao doesn’t age. This is the other way to get all level 99 stats.
