Sonic Adventure 2 Battle - Platform: Gamecube From: luke How To Get hero garden and evil garden raise youre chao to dark or hero and u will get the corresponding garden. Full pause screen ----------------- Pause game play then hold Y + X. Zoom in tutorial ---------------- While in the tutorial subscreen, press Y button to zoom in on the picture. Sonic Team announcement ----------------------- Allow the game to idle at the "Press Start" screen. After several demos, the Sonic Team logo will appear again and Tails will say "Sonic Team!". Character comments ------------------ Start any mission, and keep your character idle for about twenty seconds. They will comment about the mission. They will say something different when you continue to wait until forty seconds. Boss time attack mode --------------------- Successfully complete either side story to see all the scenes from the side of the story that you chose or you can play the Bosses that you fought in a time attack mode. To get both the Hero and the Dark modes you have to complete both sides of the game. Last stage ---------- Successfully complete both Hero and Dark side story modes. Enter story mode to access the "Last Stage?" option. Extra Island level ------------------ To get an extra Island level, you must get all the Emblems, including Kart, Timed Boss, and the emblems for all A rating. Once you have them all, which should total 180, the island next to the Green Forest level will have the face of Sonic on it. The new level is a 3D version of the Green Hills Zone, from Sonic The Hedgehog. This level has no missions, is very simple, and has many varying routes. Extra costumes -------------- Get A ranks on every mission with the character you wish to get the costume for in two-player mode. Duplicating Chao ---------------- This trick requires two memory cards (with another Sonic Adventure 2 Battle file on the second card), a link cable, and a Game Boy Advance. Put the Chao to be duplicated onto the Chao Transporter. Drop off your Chao to the Game Boy Advance. Then, go to "Move" on the Chao Transporter and transfer your real Chao (not the one in the Game Boy Advance) to a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle file on the second memory card. Next, pick up your Chao copy from the Game Boy Advance and transfer it to the Gamecube. You can now move back your real Chao from the other memory card to the first file you were working with. This trick requires two memory cards. To get two free normal Chaos at one time, put two memory cards in the slots. Transfer all your Chao into one memory card (through the GBA Station). Erase Chao data on the first memory card, transfer the Chaos back, and then you will find two Chao eggs. Note: If you have acquired the Dark and Hero gardens, they will be lost. You have to earn them back again with babies. Also, If all your Chao do not fit on the memory card, either get another memory card, or you will lose them. Use the following trick to copying a Chao with two memory cards and no Game Boy Advance. Put two memory cards into the Gamecube. Next, copy your Sonic Adventure Battle 2 file from the first memory card over to the second memory card. This will delete your Sonic Adventure Battle 2 file on the second memory card if you had one. Next, go to the Chao Garden (it does not matter which one, on which card) and go to the transporter (the big Game Boy Advance), select "Move Chao", and transfer whichever Chao you want from the second memory card to the first. If you do not want the file on the second, delete it. You can do this as many times as needed. This trick requires two memory cards and a Game Boy Advance with link cable. Take a Chao to the Chao transporter. Drop off the Chao in the Game Boy Advance. Then, go back in and pick it up. Immediately after you select "pick up", disconnect the link cable. If done correctly, you will have the Chao both in the Game Boy Advance and the Chao Garden. Move the Chao in the garden to the other memory card. Then, move the one in the Game Boy Advance to the first memory card. Note: If you do not move the one in the first memory card to the second memory card and try to pick up the Chao on the Game Boy Advance, it will erase the Chao in the garden, leaving only one Chao. Hero Garden for Chao -------------------- Take a Chao and raise it with a Hero so that it will resemble a Hero. Wait until it cocoons into an angel-like Chao (it will have a halo). Then, take the stairs going up at the Chao Lobby to reach the Hero Garden. Go to Pumpkin Hill and find the Skeleton Dog. Exit and do it again until you have maxed the line. Go to the Garden with a Hero character. The dogs should still be in there. Keep doing this. Dark Garden for Chao -------------------- Take a Chao and raise it with a Dark character. Feed and train it until it cocoons. After it evolves, stairs will appear at the Chao Lobby. Follow them to reach the Dark Garden. Go to Pumpkin Hill and find the Skeleton Dog. Exit and do it again until you have maxed the line. Go to the Garden with Knuckles and drop off the Dogs. Exit the garden than go back in with a Dark character. The dogs should still be in there. Keep doing this. Chao expressions ---------------- Your Chao's expressions depend on how many seconds you shake the egg before it hatches. About six seconds results in the V face and ten seconds for no expression face. To get the very wide smile you may have to experiment. Preview evolved Chao -------------------- Get an already evolved Chao. Next, collect the animal you want to use (Dragons, Bears, etc.). Then, feed them to your evolved Chao. This will show you what your Choa will look like when evolved. Soon to evolve Chao ------------------- Your Chao is close to transforming if it starts to sleep often. If you have another transformed Chao, bring the sleeping Chao to the Hero Garden and it will transform. Different Chao types -------------------- You can make your Chao different types (for example, Running, Power, etc.) by giving your Chao a large amount of the same colored Chaos Drives. Pet your Chao with the either a Hero or Dark character. If you give your Chao green Chao Drives, then it will be a Running type. If yellow, it will be a Swimming type. If red, it will be a Power type. If purple, it will be a Flying type. Different Chao head ------------------- Go to the Black Market and buy a Red Apple or Cardboard Box. Take it to your Chao. When it is mature enough, give it the Apple or Cardboard Box to your Chao. It will be confused at first, then a "!" will appear above its head. It will put it on its head. If u do not want it on its head anymore, throw or punch it and it will pop off. If you want your Chao to have an item on his head, such as a skull or a pumpkin, get a Skeleton Dog (small animal) which can be found on Church Mountain in Pumpkin Hill, as well as some other levels. Go to the Chao Garden and give a Chao the Skeleton Dog. Then, give it the item you want placed on his head. Skulls can be found by digging with Knuckles or Rouge in the Dark Garden; Pumpkins can be found by digging in the Chao or Hero gardens; and other items such as a Cardboard Box can be purchased in the Black Market in the Chao Kindergarten. Free pumpkins for Chao ---------------------- Go to any Chao Garden as Knuckles and dig in the ground. You will find pumpkins if you dig enough. Give them to your Chao, and if it is powerful enough, it will put it on its head. Finding items in Chao Gardens ----------------------------- You can find items such as pumpkins (regular and Hero Garden) and skulls (Dark Garden). As Knuckles or Rouge, go into the Chao world. When you enter the gardens, there are plants that have big green leaves that are usually in corners or against the wall. If you dig in all of them, you should find an item worth 50 coins. Note: This does not work all the time -- wait or return another time and they should be there. Kill yourself in the Hero Garden -------------------------------- Go to the Hero Garden as Tails. Jump into the water and go to the deepest part. After a short time, you will hear the "danger" music and then die. Chao swimming or flying ----------------------- To get your Chao to swim, give it lots of animals that can swim. To make them fly, give them some flying type animals and bring them to the tallest cliff. Set it by the edge and he/she will walk off and start flying. Note: It may not fly the first time -- keep trying. Chao band or choir ------------------ When one Chao starts to play an instrument or sing, pick up other Chaos and put them next to the singing/playing Chao. It will also start playing. Continue doing this and you will have a band/choir. Note: This works with all activities except for drawing. Some Chao may just sit down to watch and shake their heads to the beat. Chaos Chao ---------- In order to acquire the immortal Chaos Chao transform a Chao at least two times. This means that your Chao must create a tear- shaped cocoon around it self twice. After this has been accomplished, give your Chao (hero, neutral, or dark) one of each animal. On the third transformation, your Chao will become a Chaos Chao. Note: This will not work if your Chao dislikes you. Raise your Chao's stamina to about level 7 to 15 to send him through his first metamorphosis. Leave the Gamecube on overnight while you are in the garden. It is recommended that the Chao be alone in the garden. Then, check your game and he should be a baby which is good. After that, repeat the first metamorphosis process. Once evolved again, leave it on overnight once more. Now that your Chao is a baby again (for the third time), give it one of every animal. Finally give it a Hero Fruit for Hero Chaos Chao, a Dark Fruit for Dark Chaos Chao, and a Chao Fruit for a Light Chaos Chao. Wait for awhile for your well earned Chaos Chao. Start abusing your Chao with the type of storyline you do not want your Chao to grow up to be. It will transform eventually. Repeat this until it has transformed three times. As you begin the rest of the game, give your Chao each small animal you find and that one Chao. It will turn into a Chaos Chao. Get a fresh egg (white and blue only). Feed it only Chao Fruits and train it nicely with both sides, Hero and Dark, until it evolves once. It will create a cocoon in the shape of the Chao's head. If done correctly, it will be a baby blue Chao again. Repeat the last step until it evolves for the second time. After it has evolved twice (it should still be blue), give it one of every animal. Then, give it a Chao Fruit for a Neutral Chaos Chao, a Dark Fruit for an Evil Chaos Chao, or a Hero Fruit for an Angel Chaos Chao. Chaos 0 Chaos ------------- This trick requires a Game Boy Advance, Sonic Advance, and a link cable. Play the first stage on Sonic Advance until you have 14,000 rings. Then, buy an aquamarine egg. Transfer it to the Gamecube. Do the same as you would for a light chaos Chao. When it evolves, it will look like Chaos 0 from Sonic. Black Chao ---------- To make a black Chao, grab it and keep throwing it to the ground or the walls. Keep throwing the Chao when it is black and it will turn blue again. It will then turn white. You can keep throwing and it will go blue, then black, and can be repeated as many times as desired. Ultimate Light and Dark Chaos: Once you have transformed your Hero or Dark Chao into a Chaos Chao, give it every animal. Wait a long time. Eventually it will start cocooning. Once it is out of its cocoon, if its an Ultimate Dark Chao it will have a blue flame above its head, horns, and huge wings. If its the Ultimate Light Chao, it will have a bright gold glowing halo over its head, pink glowing legs and arms. To get the ultamate Light, Angel, and Devil Chao, you must first make sure you Chao has just rebirthed for its second time. Make sure you have not given it any animals yet. Then, give it one of all the twenty one animals to play with in no particular order (Boar, Cheetah, Bunny, Otter, Seal, Penguin, Gorilla, Tiger, Bear, Condor, Parrot, Peacock, Sheep, Racoon, Skunk, Half Fish, Skeleton Dog, Bat, Unicorn, Dragon, Phoenix). For an Angel Chao, use Sonic, Knuckles, or Tails to give all the animals. For a Devil Chao use Dr. Eggman, Shadow, or Rouge to give all the animals. For a Light Chao, use a combination of all the characters to give all the animals. Remember, if you want your Chao to rebirth you must not throw him or her. Pet them and feed them frequently. To get the best color for your Devil, Light, or Angel Chao, use the eggs that you get when you first entered the Garden. They are white with blue and yellow spots. Shiny colorful Chao ------------------- Enter the Tiny Chao Garden in Sonic Advance. Press L to buy an egg to get to the shop. Transfer the egg to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. When the egg comes out, it should be a different color than it was before the transfer. Sparkly normal Chao ------------------- At the Black Market, buy a white sparkly Egg. Buy two Chao Fruits. Give the Chao Fruits to the sparkly Chao and any kind of non- sparkly adult Chao about the same time. As soon as they have an egg, throw it against the wall to hatch it. Note: This trick will only work rarely. It should be born white with blue patches. It looks even better if you evolve it Dark. Flame head Chao --------------- To get a blue flame Chao, raise a red Chao with Knuckles until it grows two spikes on it head. Then, go into Chao World and pet that Chao repeatedly for a long time. It should grow two ears on the top of its head. After that, pet it again repeatedly. A blue flame will appear on top of its head. To get a blue flame Chao, go to the Black Market with a hero character and buy a lime green egg (requires 125 or more emblems). Bring the egg into the Hero garden and hatch it by rocking it (pick it up and hold B). Once hatched, feed it a Sea Monster (from the Hidden Base maze). Then, go back into the Black Market and buy a Chao Fruit. Feed it the fruit, then feed it a Hero Chao Nut. After it finishes, the ball above its head should be a blue and orange flame. To get any type of flame head Chao, raise your Chao to be a Hero, Dark, or Neutral type. When it evolves into one, give it three Green Lagoon Monsters, which can be found as Tails when you have to infiltrate Eggman's base. Give a Chao at least three Half Fish or a sea monster. You can find them in the Jungle level as Sonic. Unicorn Chao ------------ Buy a White Egg from the Black Market. Raise it with both Hero and Dark characters. Pick up the egg and nudge it for a while. Note: If you throw the egg against the wall to hatch it, this trick will not work. Once it hatches, feed it coconuts until its stamina reaches level 4. Then, give it two Unicorns to play with. Keep petting it with both Hero and Dark characters so the ball above its head stays the same color, but the Chao gets happier. Soon it will start cocooning. When it gets out, it will be a unicorn Chao. If you abuse the chao in any way this will not work. Chaos with items on their head ------------------------------ Give your Chao a skeleton dog. Then, give your Chao a skull, trash bag, pumpkin, etc. After a little while, a "!" will appear above its head and it will put it on. To take it off, attack or jump on your Chao. Chao with rainbow wings ----------------------- Keep giving a Chao all different color Chao Drives. Do this for a while and your Chao should grow either rainbow wings or rainbow arms. If this does not happen, keep trying. Fire-breathing Chao ------------------- Give a Chao a lot of Dragons. After that, it sometimes will blow fire out of its mouth. Watch closely, as the Chao will not do it very often. Purple diamond Chao ------------------- Get a normal baby Chao (from a spotted egg) and give it Warthogs (can be found in Radical Highway). Pet/love it with Rouge and grow its fly level to 30 or higher. Wait for it to grow up. Then, give it Skull Dogs to take off the Warthog and you will have a purple diamond Chao. Chao with red and black stripes ------------------------------- Buy a red Chao. When it is an adult, breed it with a normal devil Chao. It will make a burgundy Chao. Then, give it Red Chao Drives with a dark character. It will become a Chao with red and black stripes. Gold Chao --------- Link the game with Sonic Advance on the Game Boy Advance. Go to the Tiny Chao Garden. Press L and if you are lucky, you will be able to buy a gold egg for 1000 rings. Trade a yellow jewel from Sonic Advanced to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Buy a normal brown Chao from the Black Market. Buy two Heart Fruits. Give it to them. When they lay an egg, hatch it. It should be a gold Chao. Sparkly Gold Chao ----------------- Buy a sparkly yellow or brown egg from the Black Market. If you buy a sparkly yellow egg, buy two Heart Fruits and give one to the sparkly Chao and one to a normal brown Chao. If you buy a sparkly brown egg, buy two Heart Fruits and give one to the sparkly brown Chao and one to a normal yellow Chao. When they lay an egg, hatch it. It should be a sparkly Gold Chao. Silver Chao ----------- Link the game with Sonic Advance on the Game Boy Advance. Go to the Tiny Chao Garden. Press L and if you are lucky, you will be able to buy a gold egg for 500 rings. Get a white metallic Chao and raise it with a Dark character (Shadow, Rouge, Eggman) and it will turn silver. Shadow Chao ----------- Keep giving a Chao Green Chaos Drives. When it evolves, it will have green stripes on its head just like Shadow. This works best with the normal Chaos that hatch from the white and blue eggs. Knuckles Chao ------------- Only feed your Chao Red Fruits, and Red Chaos Drives. Do not give your Chao any animals. Your Chao must be a Hero Chao for this to work. Your Chao will have a stem on its head, but when it transforms its sixth time, its head will look like Knuckles. Green Sonic Chao ---------------- Get a blue egg from the Black Market. Give that Chao at least 15 Green Chaos Drives. As Sonic or Shadow, keep petting the Chao. Give that Chao the hog at least two times. You can also get a regular color Chao and give the 15 Green Chaos Drives. Then, when it evolves, spend a lot of time with the Chao as Sonic and it will be blue. Super Sonic Chao ---------------- Raise a Gold Chao from Sonic Advanced or Sonic Adventure 2 Battle with Shadow. Do not give anything to the Chao besides fruits (Hero, Dark, Round, etc.). When your Chao transforms it, will be a Super Sonic Chao. Hyper Shadow Chao ----------------- Raise a Silver Chao with Shadow. Feed it only fruit and chaos drives (red recommended). When it transforms, it will be a Hyper Shadow Chao. Tails Chao ---------- Note: This trick requires a link cable, a Game Boy Advance, Sonic Advance, and a memory card with a saved game from Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 And 2. To get a real Tails Chao, play Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 And 2. Go to the Hunters guild. Select the mission "Fake In Yellow". If it is not there the first time, then play some missions to unlock it. Find the Rappy that used to be a human. Talk to it, and it will make a Telepipe. Enter the Telepipe. You will go to the city. Re-enter the Telepipe. You will see 3 Rappys staring at something. Talk to all three of them and walk over to place they where staring at. A Chao will appear. It will talk to you and give you the Key item "Chao Key". Get off Regol. In the city, by the Hunters guild, you will see a GBA machine similar to the one in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle's Chao Garden. Step on it and transport the data to the Game Boy Advance. A Chao will appear in the Game Boy Advance's Tiny Chao Garden. The Chao's name will be Tails with a ??? under it (its type is unknown). Transport the Chao to the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Chao Garden. You will now have a Chao that resembles Tails with two tails, his ears, and the hair. Tails-like Chao --------------- Get a Purple Chao and raise it with Eggman until it gets a Dragon head (pet it frequently). Then, give it nothing except Purple Chaos Drives and only feed it five Fruits. Dark Chao --------- Get every animal two times with a Dark character. It can be either be Rouge, Shadow, or Dr. Eggman. Give every animal two times to the Chao, and when his stamina level is at 7, put him on the flowers. The Chao should be in a Chao head-like cocoon and in a few seconds it should hatch into a Dark Chao. Crazy Chao ---------- Have a Dark Chao. When in the Dark Garden give it five Dark Fruits. After that, your Chao will sleep once you whistle. When he gets up, he will have a strange smile and start running around. He will hit other Chaos and knock them down. Magic Chao ---------- When you enter Chao Karate, if you go to Expert you will see a Chao named Magic. First, pet a Chao frequently with Sonic, then get one of each animal and give it to the Chao. Then, get about eight Skeleton Dogs and give it to the Chao. All the animals should be gone. If not, keep giving him the Skeleton Dog then give it lots of Green Chaos Drives. This requires patience -- it should evolve when its level reaches 32. Note. If you leave the Gamecube on overnight, the spike on its head will get longer. Ghost Chao ---------- To make your Chao a ghost, feed it lots of Bats. Transparent Chao ---------------- Breed a Shiny Chao with a Jewel Chao. Jewel chaos are the ones from Sonic Advanced. The normal egg is not a Jewel Chao, but silver and gold Chao eggs are. When the egg hatches, it will be light green and transparent. Try using the egg that costs 5000 rings and the shiny red Chao. Get a Sapphire Chao from Sonic Advance and mate it with a Shiny White Chao. When the new Chao hatches, it will be a Clear Normal Chao. Note: When you change it Dark, it will be a Clear Black Chao, and Hero, it will be a White Clear Chao. To get a totally transparent Chao, breed a clear Chao (mate a Jewel from Sonic Advance and a Shiny) and a Shiny Lime Green. If you do not get it, reset and try again. You will only be able see its wings, face, and the ball on its head. Get higher Chao ranks --------------------- Get the required Animal or Chaos Drive for the type of Chao you want. For example, the Yellow drive or Sea Otter for swim. Then, give them mostly that color of Drive or Animal. Eventually they will evolve into an adult. When this happens, if you gave them mostly yellow for example, the adult Chao will be a swimming type and if your rank in swim was, for example an "A" rank, it will go up to "S". To improve the letter rank in Stamina, make the Chao a normal type. An ability rank are the letters S, A, B, C, D, or E (from best to worse) next to your Chao's ability when you see the doctor in the Health Center in the Chao Kindergarten. To raise the letter up one rank, have your Chao evolve into the type of ability you would like to raise. For example, if the ability rank in flying was A, raise your Chao until it evolves into a Flying Type and the A will turn into an S. Get two Chaos to breed easily ----------------------------- Get two heart fruits. Give one to each of the Chaos and flowers will instantly bloom around them. Grab one and put it right next to the other. Note: To breed baby Chao, you need five to ten heart fruits. Rock Chao --------- When you pick up your Chao, immediately hold the Analog-stick in one direction while still holding B. You can release B when your Chao starts to rock. Chao status ----------- If your Chao has already evolved and has another tear shaped cocoon around it, it is either being reborn or going to die. If the tear shaped cocoon is gray, the Chao is going to die. If the cocoon is pink, your Chao will be reborn and all stats will be divided by 10. Change Chao color to white or black with normal egg: After your normal egg hatches, decide if you want the Chao to be white or black. If you want it to be black, get either Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles and use that character to abuse your Chao. It will eventually turn black. If you want it to be white, use Rouge, Shadow, or Eggman and abuse it. Note: Chao will be extremely sad, scream, and run. Get a Chao Garden through abuse ------------------------------- If you want a special Chao Garden but do not want to spend a long time petting your Chao, just abuse it. For example, if you want your Chao to be a Hero and get the Hero Garden, use Dr. Eggman, Shadow, or Rouge in the Chao Garden and abuse your Chao with that character. If you attack a Chao enough times with a character, the Chao will become the opposite of what your character is. In the example, your Chao will turn very white and become a Hero. If you abuse your Chao with Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles, it will turn black and become a dark Chao. Note: It will take awhile for them to cocoon themselves. Open Chao egg easily -------------------- Throw a Chao egg against a wall. Chao life cycle --------------- Be nice -> Cocoon (pink) -> Reborn Child -> Cocoon (blue) -> adult -> Abuse it always -> Cocoon(gray) -> Dies If the Chao is an adult and you treat it nicely, it will remember you, turn into a pink cocoon, and appear as an egg. The Chao starts off at level 00 again, but still has its stats. However, if you treat your Chao badly as an adult, it will become a gray cocoon and disappear forever. Name Chao yourself ------------------ Go to the fortune teller with your Chao. When she offers a name for your Chao and asks whether you like it, answer "No". She will make another suggestion. Answer "No" again. She will then ask if you would like to name the Chao yourself. Answer "Yes". Delete animal characteristics from Chao --------------------------------------- If you have a Chao with strange animal characteristics, simply give it a few Skeleton Dogs. Your Chao will return to normal. If you want to give it an animal and you do not like the outcome, repeat the process again. Regular teenage Chao -------------------- To keep your Chao from becoming a Dark or Hero Chao before it evolves, alternate between Hero and dark Characters every visit. If the colors of your chao start to change, simply pet the Chao with the other side until it returns to normal. Unlimited Chaos --------------- Use a link cable and connect a Game Boy Advance to the Gamecube. Get Sonic Advance and enter the Tiny Chao Garden. Keep transferring Chaos to the big Chao Garden for a free unlimited supply. Faster Chao growth ------------------ Transfer the Chao that you want to level up to the Tiny Chao Garden in Sonic Advance. Keep giving it fruits until it is at a good enough level and it will grow faster than in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Note: Your Chao will not age in the Tiny Chao Garden. Avoid Chao race losses ---------------------- If you are racing your Chao and know you will lose, press Start and select "Exit" and it will not be recorded as a loss. Waking Chao up -------------- Sleeping Chao are annoying because you cannot feed them. To wake them up, stand next to it and whistle. You do not have to anger them by picking them up during a little nap. Gliding Chao ------------ In the Chao Garden, pick up your Chao and carry it on top on the entrance of Chao Karate and Race. Leave your Chao there, then go in front of the water, facing your Chao that is on top. Whistle, and it will fall and glide towards you. Not worrying about Chao aging ----------------------------- Note: This trick requires a Game Boy Advance, Sonic Advance, and a link cable. If you raise your Chao on the Game Boy Advance, you do not have to worry about it aging. If you are trying to save time, the Chao does not age at all. This is a good way to level up your Chao if it is at its third life (two transformations). Chao sleeping sitting up ------------------------ Let a Chao run up to get a fruit. As soon as you hear the sound of it grabbing the fruit, take the fruit away. The Chao should still be eating and after a while a fruit will appear. Chao in a cage -------------- In the Dark Garden, keep throwing a Chao at the cage and it will eventually go in. Alternately, jump on the tombstone to the left, then jump into the cage from there. To put a Chao in it, you have to be at the very edge of the cage. Alternate view in Chao Lobby ---------------------------- Enter the Hero Garden then go back out. Walk off the side and control your fall so it looks like you are under the entrance when you land. You can go to the Kindergarten and Dark Garden, but the camera will remain on top of the stairs. Land in cage ------------ As Shadow, enter the Dark Garden and go to the big tree on the right. A cage is hanging on the side that is facing the pool of blood. Jump up and you will land inside it. Eggman in a cage ---------------- Go to the Dark Chao Garden with Eggman and stand on the tomb near the small cage hanging on a tree. From the tomb, jump into the cage and Eggman will be caged. If you then jump, his head will be a skull. Quick Chao transformation ------------------------- Keep petting your Chao and it will eventually transform. To do this trick, you must not care if you abuse your Chao. To get a Hero Chao, abuse your Chao with a Villain. To get a Dark Chao abuse, your Chao with a Hero. You can tell if your Chao is turning good if it is mostly white and has a blue ball over its head. You will know its turning bad when it is black and most likely has a red collar or a point on its tail. Get the stamina to level 7. Note: If you are transforming a different color Chao (for example, blue, red, shiny blue), its body may not change color, so look at its wings (bat or not), tail (pointed or not), and the ball (red or blue) on its head. For your Chao to evolve fairly quickly, you must feed it Coconuts until its stamina is above level 10. For a Dark Chao or Hero or Neutral Chao with their head on fire, just give them only Half Fishes. For a Chao with a drill-like head, give it lots of Gorillas and Tigers. For a Dark Jester Chao, give it mostly Peacocks and Condors. For a Shark Chao, give it only Sea Otters, Half Fishes, and Seals. For a Chao with green streaks such as Shadow, mostly raise it on Cheetahs and Unicorns. After its head starts to part differently, feed it until its stamina is at level 11 or higher. Note: If you are looking for a Chao that is good in races, raise a Dark Running Chao with mostly Cheetahs and Unicorns. For a Chao that is good in Power Karate, raise a Chao heavily on Gorillas and Tigers. Robotnik's first level, Iron Gate, is the best place to raise a Power Chao. If you have the Dark Chao Garden, throw a newly hatched Chao into the blood-like water. Watch it for a while and it will transform. If your Chao comes out, throw it back in. Hidden Chao transportation -------------------------- Walk up to the Chao Kindergarten when an item is in your hands and your Chao is at a classroom. When selecting "Pick-Up Chao", if you still have the item in your hands, your Chao will not be in your hands. It will be in the Chao Garden (if your cocoon has hatched - - go to either the Hero or Dark garden). Hatching your Chao ------------------ If you are having trouble hatching your Chao, hold it for about ten seconds then whistle. It should pop out. For a quick hatching Chao, pick up a Chao egg and throw it against the wall. Note: This may affect your Chao's appearance. Raise Chao's stamina -------------------- To raise your Chao's stamina easily, when you feed your Chao a fruit, stand behind it. When your Chao throws it, you can pick it up and bring it back. You can do this repeatedly. Use the following trick to get a powerful, young Chao. Either use Chaos Drives, Small Animals, or Chao Fruits. When you raise them, only go in the Chao Garden when you want to raise the Chao and not to play with it. If you still want to play with your other Chaos, put the one you are raising in a separate garden, all by itself. By following this, it is possible to have a two year old Chao with all its stats at level 99 (the highest level). Double Chao petting ------------------- In any Chao garden, put two Chaos next to each other. Start petting one of them and they will both have hearts on their head. Chaos Drive colors ------------------ Yellow: Swim Green: Run Red: Power Purple: Fly Reuse Chaos Drive or animal: Get a Chaos Drive or animal and go to your garden. Take either one and bring it to your Chao, but do not give it to them. Drop it directly in front of them, very close. They will get the points but they will leave it there to use over and over. Try giving it fruit, then do it so its not moving around. Make a Chao follow you ---------------------- If a Chao is in its flowers, pick it up and it will follow you for a while. Also, if you whistle now, it comes to you. Big The Cat picture ------------------- Go to the Chao Garden and take any Chao to school. If they are learning drawing, leave your Chao there. When the Chao is done, take it back to the garden and wait until he draws. If he draws Big, it will not be a very good picture but can be recognized as Big The Cat. Blinking statue --------------- Go to the Chao Garden as any character. Enter the Kindergarten and go into the principal's office. Look at the statue behind the principal for awhile and you will see it blink. Extra Chao Karate mode ---------------------- Note: You either have to complete Hard mode, or all three original modes (Beginner, Intermediate, and Hard). Doing this will unlock the fourth difficulty mode, Super. The Super mode is very hard if your Chao is not strong enough. The order of the Super matches are as follows: Round 1: Crunchy, a Light Green child Chao with a watermelon on its head Round 2: Wacky, a psycho Light Green child Chao with dragon horns. Round 3: Crystal, a Gold Hero Chaos Chao Round 4: Angel, an Aquamarine Dark Chaos Chao Round 5: Flash, an Onyx Neutral Chaos Chao (very difficult) Winning in Chao Karate ---------------------- Your Chao's power has to be higher than 75. It can now punch and kick harder in Chao Karate. This help can knock Chao(s) off the edge easier. Grand Master rank in Chao Karate -------------------------------- The highest rank in Chao Karate is Grand Master. It is only achieved if a Chao wins 80 consecutive battles without any losses. Chao Crates ----------- In each stage, the contents of a Chao Crate depends on the number of Chao Crates you have already broken: The first crate you break will have a Chao Key. The second will have about three to five assorted animals. The last crate will have a special animal (for example, a Unicorn, Dragon, etc.) Beach balls for your Chao ------------------------- Go to the Chao Garden and then go to the Chao Race Lobby. If you want the ball for the Chao Garden, then win the first four challenges in challenge race. To get the ball for the Hero Garden, go to the Dark race and win the first two challenges. To get the ball for the Dark Garden, go to the Hero race and win the first two challenges. When you get them, you must wait for your Chao to play with them. When they do, they will run at the ball and kick it. Note: To get the balls, you must have all three gardens or you will not have the other races. Also, you cannot take the balls to other Gardens. Jewel Chao prices ----------------- Silver (gray): 500 Gold (yellow): 1000 Ruby (pink): 5000 Sapphire (dark blue): 7000 Amethyst (purple): 8000 Emerald (dark green): 10000 GARNET (brownish red): 12000 Aquamarine (light green): 14000 Peridot (light green): 16000 Topaz (orange): 18000 Onyx (black): 20000 Rock climbing ------------- When you enter the Neutral Chao Garden, you can climb the mountains to your left. Jump up there and you can get very high in the area. Plant trees ----------- Win all the Beginner Chao races. You will receive a shovel and water pail for winning the third race in two of them. Go to Chao Kindergarten and press B on the black locker, opening the Chao black market. Buy a seed of any kind of tree you wish to grow. Return to your Chao garden. Once there, give your Chao the seed and in about 30 seconds or so a "!" will appear above its head. It will start digging, watering, then dancing. After a couple of visits to the garden you can give your Chao the kind of fruit that falls from the tree. You can grow five to six trees in the garden. Easy rings ---------- Go to any Chao Garden and go near one of the trees. When the coconut or fruit falls off, you can sell it at the Black Market. It does not sell for much, but is worth something. You will get 10 rings for the coconuts. Buy a box, bag, pot, or any other expensive item in the Kindergarten. Then, save the Chao data, then re-enter Chao World. Sell the item, and when the "ca-ching" noise ends, reset your Gamecube. When you enter Chao World. you will have both the item and the rings. Note: You have to save the Chao data after you buy the item, but before you sell it. This works best if you sell expensive items, such as the 50,000 ring gray mask. Go to the Chao Garden. After your Chao has hatched, take the egg and go to the Black Market. Sell your egg shell for the following prices. Normal egg: 50 rings White egg: 100 rings Red egg: 120 rings Get the Light Dash ability and go to Metal Harbor. Whenever the large rows of rings are ahead of you, use the Light Dash move. This is a very fast and easy way to get rings. Get something that sells for a lot of rings. If you do not have many, get an old pot and use it for this trick. If you have the time, get a Shiny Egg Shell (recommended). You cannot sell the egg -- you can only sell the shell. Go to the Black Market with the egg and you sell it. then. Exit out of the Black Market and while still in the Kindergarten, hold B + Start + X for about two seconds to reset your game (without saving the Chao data but saving the game data). Since the Chao data did not save, the game believes the egg is still there, while the saved game data records that you sold the egg for a couple thousand rings. You will get the egg and the money back. Repeat this (sell the shell, reset game, then go back to the garden) to end up with lots of rings. Play Sonic's first level under "Find The Lost Chao". Keep going through the level without getting the Chao until you get 999 rings, which is the maximum number. Then, get the lost Chao .and it will add 999 rings to your game. This is helpful if you want to get a beanie for your Chao later in the game. On the first level, select the third mission on stage selection screen. Go through the level until you have 999 rings. Then, after you run down the building, do not hit the bouncers and go to the right. Play the Mystic Melody and work your way to the top. Repeat this to get as many rings as needed. In City Escape level, you can get more than 425 rings. This will give you more rings for the Choa Gardens in just one level. You can also get more than 435 rings if you get all the rings, including the Light Dash rings after you break the iron box after the street boarding part at the very beginning of the stage. Unlock the racing game (just route 101 or 280). If you got a "D" or "E" rank on the first mission, it would be easier for you to do mission 2 (get at least 100 rings). If you got "A", "B", or "C" rank, just do mission 1 (get at least 200 rings and also get 2 extra lives). For quick and easy rings, just go to the City Escape level and collect 300 rings every visit. Use the following trick to get 100 rings in any level, especially Rouge's and Knuckle's stages. Collect as many rings as you can, then go to the back ring. You will start the level over with all of your rings, and will be able to recollect them. Go to any level as Sonic or Shadow. Choose the third mission (find the lost Chao) and go through the level collecting rings. Do not get the Chao. Go to the end of the level. When you hit the goal ring, you will be taken back to the beginning of the level. You will have all of your rings and all the rings originally on the course will be back. Repeat this until you have as many rings as needed. Go to the Black Market after you have collected 70 emblems. Buy a Shiny Yellow Egg (7000 rings) and hatch the Chao. His egg shell is worth 1200 rings. Stocking eggshells ------------------ To get a vast amount of eggshells to sell, link Sonic Advance to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Take your Chao already in the Tiny Garden and them in the big Garden. When you pull down the shopping window, there is the normal egg for sale for 0 rings. Buy one and transfer to the big Garden. Hatch it and u will have a Chao. Say bye bye to any you do not want. Repeat to get lots of eggshells. Stocking fruits --------------- To create a large stock of fruits to stay in one place, gather all the fruits somewhere such as on the cliff. Get eggshells, pumpkins, and skulls and place them around the fruits. Note: The fruits may still disappear. After awhile, your Chao will adjust to you putting all the fruits in one place and will know where to find them if they are hungry. Fruit in the water ------------------ To keep other Chaos from getting food, put the food in the water. The Chaos cannot swim to the fruit and eat it. If you have multiple food, you can put all of it in the water and give the last one remaining to your Chao. Then, take the other fruit one by one to the Chao(s) that you wish to feed. Tree without fruit ------------------ To get a tree without fruit, put seven or more fruits under it. It will not grow anymore until you take them away. Heart in Chao Fruit ------------------- If you look closely at the flat side of a Chao Fruit, there is a heart there. It is almost the same color as the Chao Fruit, so it can be difficult to see.

Super speed ----------- In two player mode, use a speed up then wait for the little blue light to disappear. Then, get the Super Shoes. The easiest way to do this is to play Shadow's Bridge level. After you fly up the first speed ramp, kill the robot guard then use your speed up. Then, go around the side where the Super Shoes are located.

If you are playing in multi-player mode, you will boost ahead of the other player. Rail tricks ----------- Whenever grinding down a rail, when you are about to go off press A.

If you throw him at an enemy, he will explode. You can even shoot him with Eggman or Tails while he is flying around your head. As Knuckles or Rouge, go through a wall while you are talking to Omochoa. He will get stuck on the other side and will not be able to get back. The third challenge Chao race is against several Omochaos. Information in this section was contributed by ssjbabymario. As anyone except Tails/Eggman, throw Omochao into an enemy to knock him out. With Tails/Eggman, just shoot him. He will wake up and complain or have amnesia. In Tails' Eternal Engine level, look for the area with a Chao box, a switch to open a door, and Omochao near a space escape door with two dynamite packs on it.
