Glitch - Cool glitch.

Whal playing a sonic in city escape In the end With the truck as soon as you hit the ground turn around and use the homing attack on the truck [This glitch works a TON better if you don't have a shield at this point] And after you hit the truck and lose all of you're rings use the homing attack on the truck agian whal you are still invinsable and it will back up keep folowing the truck stay close but not so close that you die. and when you get to the point that has the things that make you go fast go to ither the left or tight of them just keep following the truck untel you get to the wall you summer saulted under to get out with the truck and just stay as close to that wall as you can and the truck will fall into a put.

Hints - transparent and invisable chao

To make invisible chao you have to mate certain chao. They are invisible other than the mouth, the wings, and the ball / ring.
These are ways to make them:
Shiny yellow and any jewel chao, shiny white and any jewel chao, shiny pink and any jewel chao, and shiny lime green and sapphire jewel chao. Jewel chao are shiny chao that cannot be bought in sonic adventure 2 battle, but they can be bought in the tiny chao garden of sonic advanced 1,2, and 3.

Translucent chao are chao you can see through, obviously.
These are ways to make them:
Mate shiny green chao and a jewel chao makes a green clear chao.
Mate shiny blue chao and a jewel chao to make a normal colored chao.

There may be more ways to make invisible and translucent chao.

First get any kind of matallic chao from sonic advance
Then evolve it into a nuetral chao.

Translucent chao.

PS the chao's wings, eyes, and it's mouth if it has one
Will be visable email me if you have any questions.

when your playing as shadow and just started the game in one of his levels radical highway in the when you first come in o down the rail up the spring and run across the road for a while and soon you will come to a ramp run off it and either climb the or take the crain and go on to another platform at the top of the boxes [or crain] then go forward there should be a set of springs jump on them and when your in the air from the way you see in the air go left if you went the right way there should be a big spinning thing in the middle of the road press B to summersault under it and then the road should just end with a bunch of rings going across go to the edge of the road start spinning and right before you fall off jump and you should go flying over the edge and on to the other side with another pair of springs go off them and go forward into the glowing green circle with the ring in it and there you go you have the flame ring and you didn't even need the ring dash
note: you can do this the first time you go to radical highway

Hints - allu need to know about chao part 1of2

CHAO HATCHING
First up is how to hatch your Chao. Simply walk up to the egg
you wish to hatch, pick it up with the B button, and hold down
the button. Now just move your analog stick to one side and hold
it there. The egg will be gently shaken by your character. After
a little while, set the egg back down (DON'T throw it). Your Chao
will hatch soon after. Be sure to grab a nut from a nearby tree
and feed it to your newborn Chao. They're typically pretty hungry
after hatching.
One other note, NEVER strike your Chao if you can avoid it. It
makes them terribly angry, and will very easily drop their
performance.



CHAO BASIC
First off, there are 3 basic types of Chao:

* Dark Chao - A miscreant Chao that likes to play pranks.
Black with red as a secondary color.
By getting this chao, you unlock the Dark Garden.
* Neutral Chao - A completely normal Chao.
Starts off as a light blue.
* Hero Chao - A kind and polite Chao with a halo.
White in color with blue as secondary.
By getting this chao, you unlock the Hero Garden.

Anyone can raise these kinds of Chao. A common misconception
I've seen recently is that you need a Hero Seed to raise your
Chao into the Hero form. This is quite simply, not needed. There
is a simpler means of raising your Chao into the form you want.
First off, decide which kind of Chao you would like, if you don't
want to keep them Neutral. For the sake of example, we'll say you
want a Dark Chao. Now then. Go to the 1P mode, and choose Stage
Select. Go to Chao World, and choose either Shadow, Rouge, or
Eggman as your character. Hatch the egg you want to raise to a
Dark Chao. After it's hatched (remember to do so gently!), pet
it over and over. You'll see it gradually change color towards
black.
After a while, it will stop changing color. All you really
have to do at this point is raise it as you would any other Chao.
The only exception is, make certain you raise it with a Dark
character. This way, it will definitely evolve into a Dark Chao.
Both of my Hero Chao's were raised the same way, using Hero
characters.

Another thing to mention is, Chao have stats. There are 7
of them for all Chao. They are as follows.

* (SWM) - Swimming Ability
* (FLY) - Flying Ability
* (RUN) - Running Ability
* (PWR) - Relative Strength and Power

* (LCK) - Luck. Goes up in increments of 100. Raise by
guessing the correct box when opening a treasure
chest in Chao Adventure 2.
* (INT) - Intelligence. Raise by eating a Smart Fruit.
* (STA) - Stamina. Increase by feeding your Chao.

As far as I know, all of these stats can be raised one way
or another. I'll get into that next.
As you adventure through the game, you'll come across two things.
Animals and Chaos Drives. Animals are self-explanatory. Chaos
Drives on the other hand, are those sticks of glowing color that
machines drop. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, as
you'll soon see. These animals and drives come in four basic
colors, though there are some exceptions.

The colors affect things as follows:

Yellow + to SWM
Purple + to FLY
Green + to RUN
Red + to PWR

Animals will have a colored border around their picture. That
is how you know what class an animal belongs to. Let's go over
the animals and their benefits now.

Red Class Animals SWM FLY RUN PWR
- Bear 4 -8 2 18
- Tiger -4 -8 10 18
- Gorilla -2 -4 2 20

Green Class Animals
- Rabbit 0 4 20 -8
- Cheetah -4 -4 20 4
- Boar -2 -6 16 8

Purple Class Animals
- Parrot 0 24 -10 2
- Peacock 6 24 -8 -6
- Condor -10 30 -12 8

Yellow Class Animals
- Seal 20 -8 0 4
- Otter 22 -2 4 -8
- Penguin 18 6 4 -12

Special Class Animals (blue border)
- Raccoon 10 6 2 4
- Sheep 4 6 10 10
- Skunk 4 6 6 4

Imaginary Class Animals (orangish border)
- Dragon 10 2 4 16
- Unicorn 8 6 18 0
- Phoenix 6 16 2 8

Ghost Class Animals (black border)
- Bat 4 20 4 4
- Half Fish 16 0 4 12
- Skeletal Dog 4 4 16 8

One thing to mention about Ghost Class animals, is that they
affect your Chao in rather odd ways. A bat will turn your Chao
into a ghost (no legs), and the other ones can have some strange
effects as well. Keep that in mind should you use Ghost Animals.
And those are all the animals that you can pick up. As for
where to find them, I'll list that by character and stage.

Sonic --------------------------------------------------

6. Lost Colony | Rabbit Boar Bat Raccoon S. Dog
7. Weapons Bed | Seal Otter Cheetah Sheep Phoenix
13.Cosmic Wall | Rabbit Cheetah Otter Sheep Unicorn
Cannon Eggman | Bear Gorilla Seal Skunk Unicorn

Another thing to mention is on Chaos Drives. All Chaos Drives
increase their relative stat by 8, and drop nothing else. They
also don't alter the appearance of your Chao in any way. Also,
Chaos Drives can be found on any stage with machines, generally.
The colors are random, so you just have to hope you get what you
want.

Alright, last Basic thing I can tell you. When you give your
Chao an animal, it will give your Chao 2 things. One, it will
change the Chao's appearance. Two, it will give them an
additional little action they can do anytime they feel like. I'll
list the known actions here.

Animal Action | Animal Action

Bear Roar | Phoenix Wags tail
Boar Dashes | Rabbit Hops around
Cheetah Face washing | Raccoon ? Unknown ?
Condor ? Unknown ? | Otter Swims on back
Dragon Breathes fire | Seal Rolls around
Gorilla Beats chest | Sheep Somersaults
Parrot Sings | Skunk Farts (ewww...)
Peacock Struts arrogantly | Tiger Sharpens nails
Penguin Slides on belly | Unicorn Bucks feet

If anyone notices any actions for the Ghost Class Animals, let
me know and I'll put 'em in. Also, sometimes a Ghost animal can
cause the dot above your Chao to turn into a flame. Quite nifty
looking if you have a Dark Chao. (bwahahaha!)


CHAO ADVANCED
This is where I let you know what kind of evolutionary paths
you can take, besides the 3 basic forms. There are a total of
4 intermediate paths you can take. Besides those, you can also
mix types for the Advanced Paths. The following is the
intermediate path.

Green Animals ---> Sonic Chao. Develops spikes on head like
Sonic.
Yellow Animals ---> Alien Chao. Head elongates and gets two
small fin-like things on head.
Purple Animals ---> Nights Chao. Two jester cap-type things grow
out of the head and curve down a bit.
Red Animals ---> Dragon Chao. The head sort of turns into a
horizontal spike.

I don't know what the Advanced Paths look like quite yet I'm
afraid. I'll let you guys know pretty as soon as I find out.

Another advanced thing that very little is currently known about,
is the Chao Kindergarten. You can ask the Principal questions about
Chao raising, check on the health of your Chao, or have your Chao
learn whatever lesson is being taught in the classroom. Also, this
is only a partial list of the classes you can take...so if you see
a class I don't have, let me know of that too.

Kindergarten Classes
- Bell
- Tambourine
- Drums
- Trumpet
- Castanet
- Cymbal
- Maraca
- Song
- Spin Dance
- Step Dance
- Go-Go Dance
- Shake Dance
- Drawing
- Exercise

One of the Advanced things that was just recently brought to light
are the hats. There are 3 known hats in existence, listed here.

- Pumpkin
- Egg Shell
- Skeleton's Skull

Simply grab one of these from the garden and hand it to your Chao.
If they like it, they'll put it in and they'll have a hat. Keep in
mind however, that it can only be removed by throwing or hitting your
Chao. Although I've also been told that they'll take it off after
a while if they get bored with it.


SEEDS & FRUITS
Ah, the last Advanced thing I can think of. How to plant the seeds.
Well, I think I'll show you exactly what I was told. Just as soon as
I pick the clearest, most concise e-mail I got on how to do so. Thanks
to everyone else who told me how though, I'm glad you told me.

Anyway, all you have to do is hand the seed to a Chao that has won
a shovel (trowel, whatever) in the races, and the watering can. Your
Chao will then wander around, pick a spot, and plant the seed.

Here is a list of the seeds that have been found so far, made by
the inestimable Mike Iseri. Keep in mind that the Forbidden Seed
was added by me.

" -Seeds Discovered
Tall Seed
Creepy Seed
Vitality Seed
Power Seed
Tasty Seed
Wonder Seed
Forbidden Seed
Rare Seed (Can't be that rare if I found it lol) "

The only other thing to mention are the Fruits that can be
found in Chao Adventure 2. As soon as I have a good list of them,
I'll throw it up here. The only fruits I currently know of are these:

-Fruits Discovered
Triangle Fruit - A triangle shaped fruit.
Square Fruit - A square shaped fruit.
Round Fruit - A round shaped fruit.
Wonder Fruit - ? (Don't remember...)
Chao Fruit - Increases skills.
Heart Fruit - Makes Chao lay an egg.
Hero Fruit - Makes your Chao favor the Hero side.
Dark Fruit - Makes your Chao favor the Dark side.
(Luke...I am your father...)
(Sorry, couldn't resist ::grins widely::)
Smart Fruit - Raises intelligence.


RACING STUFF
For all those wonderful things that Racing can net you. First off,
I give you a lovely list of the toys you can get from each of the races,
courtesy Mike Iseri.

" Here is a list of all the toys that you can win in the races.

-Must win the 3rd difficulty level
-Beginner Races
Crab Pool...............Shovel
Stump Valley............Watering Can
Mushroom Forest.........Rattle
Black Canyon............Toy Car

-Must win the 5th level difficulty level
-Jewel Races
Topaz......................Broom
Peridot....................Picture book on how to plant seeds
(A must to plant trees)
Aquamarine.................Sonic Doll
Garnet.....................Pogo Stick
Onyx.......................Box Of Crayons
Diamond....................Bubbles

-Challenge Mode
-Win toys by completing the row
1st row....................Beach Ball
2nd row....................Jack in the Box
3rd row....................Television
(To gain access to the third row, you must beat the first 2 rows)

-Dark Races
Win the second race........Beach Ball
Win the fourth race........Radio (Changes music, your Chao must
turn it on himself) "

Thanks kindly for that chart Mike, I appreciate it.

Anyway, the only other benefits to racing besides the toys would be
two things. 1. You get to look at the courses. They can be pretty
cool sometimes. 2. You can test your Chao's prowess and have it make
a name for itself. Besides, you can always bring your Chao online.


AUTHOR'S NOTE
Well, that took more time than I thought it would...but regardless,
I'm glad I could help everybody out. Just remember to let me know if
there's something I missed or screwed up on. I don't mind getting
e-mail, so long as it doesn't ask inane questions or use excessive
dewd speech. I HATE that stuff... ::sighs::


MY CHAO
I have 5 Chao right at the moment, but only 4 are worth listing.

Secret - Character chao

If you didn't already know, you can make your chao look almost exactly like Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, and Amy without hacking with Action Replay. Note: if there is a * next to it, that means I haven't seen what it looks like, but I'm still sure it works.

Sonic: get a spotted egg and evolve it into a neutral running type. After a few years of its life, give it even more green chaos drives and it will turn blue, like Sonic.

Shadow: get a spotted egg and evolve it into a DARK running type. After a few years of its life, give it even more green chaos drives and it will turn red, like Shadow.

Knuckles: BUY a normal red egg from the Black Market. Leave Chao World then go and get a skeleton dog and a boar. Give the skeleton dog to the chao and then give it its eggshell to put on its head, resembling Knuckle's hair. Then give it 1 and only 1 boar and it will gain its hands, which look alot like Knuckle's gloves. Note: if you give it more than 1 boar it will get its feet and tail, which will ruin its look. (evolve it into whatever you want, neutral recommended)

*Tails: Buy a yellow egg from the Black Market (you can sell the shell). Evolve it into a neutral flying type, and it will look a lot like Tails except for the wings. Later in its life, give it RED chaos drives and its ears will turn upwards, resembling Tails' ears.

*Amy- there are 2 ways that I think would make a good Amy chao. The first way is cheaper, so I will list it first.
1st way- buy a pink egg and make it put the shell on its head. Then go out and give it a few bunnies (enough so it will gain its hands and feet but not its tail). Note: this Amy chao will not have Amy's red dress, but the 2nd way will.
2nd way- this way requires you to buy a red egg (sell the shell) but have a pink shell handy. Put the pink shell on the red chao's head, resembling Amy's hair. Give it a few bunnies to cover up the hands, feet, and tail. This way the chao can have Amy's hands, feet, tail, and hair but still have the red dress. Note: evolve it into what ever you want (neutral recommended because of the dot on its head)

Hints - all u need to know about chao part2of2

[2]. CHAO BASICS
In this section of the FAQ, I shall go into the basics of raising chao,
these are things that you should know before you enter into the chao
garden for the first time. It is my opinion however, that you should
completely finish the entire SA2 main game before you ever start working
with chao. This gives you the opportunity to have access to all of the
games levels, which you will need in order to raise effective and fun
chao. Not to mention, it is the only way that you can get access to the
chao kindergarten or to switch between gardens. I recommend also that you
use either Knuckles or Rouge to raise your chao with, as they are less
likely to accidentally strike the chao, which leads to the most important
aspect of chao raising, never strike your chao.

[2.1]. HATCHING
There are three ways that you can hatch a chao, only one, however, is the
correct way. When you reach the chao garden for the first time, you will
notice that there are two chao eggs. Walk up to one and when the action
button says "pick" you should pick the chao up, and hold that button down.
After you rock the egg a few times, sit the egg back down, and a happy
chao will pop out. You could also let the egg sit and hatch on its own,
this takes longer, and the chao is not as happy, or you could throw the
egg against a wall, I advise you not to do this, if you ever want your
chao to like you, at all.

[2.2]. FEEDING
After your chao have been hatched, the first thing that you should do is
to give you chao one of the tree fruits that you find on the trees located
in the garden. In order to do this, you walk up to a tree and press the
action button (or "B" button). Your character will then grab hold of the
tree and you can shake it by moving the analog control back to forward or
side-to-side. If there is a full-grown tree on the fruit, it will shake
as the tree shakes, and will eventually fall off. Once this happens,
simply pick the fruit up and hand it to the chao, and he will chomp down.
There are also two other aspects to collecting food for your chao; both
of these require your playing chao adventure 2 on your VMU. Details on
how to obtain these items will be dealt with there, but here I shall
discuss what to do with the items once you have procured them. If you
have won a seed or a fruit in Chao adventure 2, first make sure the
VMU is in a controller, you should walk up to the VMU machine located in
the chao garden and step on the button. This will bring up a menu. You
should then select the correct VMU, and a list of everything that you
have attained during you playing of Chao adventure 2 will come up,
simply highlight the item (or chao) that you want to bring out of the VMU
and press the "A" button. This should leave the item/chao highlighted,
even if you move the cursor. You can then select any other items that
you would like. Once you have selected all of the items that you would
like, move the cursor down to the "select" button and all of the items
will come out of the VMU machine. If the item was a fruit, simply pick
it up and carry it over to your chao, as you would a normal tree fruit.
If it is a seed, you should carry it over to a chao that has won the
watering pale and the shovel in the races (see the racing section for more
information) and the chao will do the rest. You will then have a new tree
in the garden with better fruit. The fruit from these tree's are better
for increasing your chao's stamina (see stats section for more details),
though they do die after time, however, your chao may water the tree after
it has been planted, this will elongate the life-span of the tree. You may
have up to six extra trees in any given garden at a time.

Fruits:
Triangle Fruit - A triangle shaped fruit
Square Fruit - A square shaped fruit
Round Fruit - A round shaped fruit
Wonder Fruit - Not yet known
Chao Fruit - Increases skills
Heart Fruit - Makes your chao go into a mating season
Hero Fruit - Make your chao favor the Hero side
Dark Fruit - Makes your chao favor the Dark side
Smart Fruit - Raises intelligence
Peace Fruit - Puts chao at peace, and they will like you more
Energy Fruit - makes the chao do more stuff

These are all of the fruit that I have seen, again, there may be more, but
I have not seen them, just let me know.

Seeds:
Tall Seed - Hero/neutral chao only
Creepy Seed - Dark/neutral chao only
Vitality Seed - Hero/neutral chao only
Power Seed - Dark/hero/neutral
Tasty Seed - Hero/neutral chao only
Wonder Seed - Hero/neutral chao only
Forbidden Seed - Dark/neutral chao only
Rare Seed - Hero/neutral/Dark
Rough Seed - Dark/neutral chao only
Strong Seed - Dark/hero/neutral

[2.3]. BREEDING
There are two ways to breed your chao, one involves Chao Adventure 2 and
will be dealt with in that section, and the other happens in the chao
garden. It is important to note here that only adult chao can mate. Only
after your chao has evolved is it capable to mate (this will be dealt with
in the advanced chao raising section). When one chao can constantly be
found sitting down with a ring of flowers around them, they are said to be
in the mating season. When this happens, plop another chao down next to
that one and they should do a little dance, and then an egg will appear.
It should be noted that it is easier to get this to work, if the chao get
along with each other.

[2.4]. ANIMALS
You may have noticed that when playing the game that you can pick up
animals in the levels, when you enter into the chao garden, the animals
come with you. You can then show them to the chao and the chao will take
on some of the animal features as well as having a stat increase. Before
giving your chao animals, you should read through the advanced chao
raising section as well as the animal's section.

[2.5]. CHAOS DRIVES
Chaos drives are similar to animals, except you pick them up from the GUN
robots. They only increase the chao's stats, and give them no traits at
all. To alleviate confusion, the Robots that Eggman built do not use
chaos drives, but are powered by the traditional animals.

[2.6]. KINDERGARTEN
The chao kindergarten is very useful on several levels. Firstly, you can
go to the chao professor and learn a lot about chao, all of that
information and more is available here in the FAQ, and so going there isn't
necessary unless you want to. Also, the chao doctor can tell you what you
chao's strengths and weaknesses are, and can help you to better train your
chao for racing (note: there are some reports coming in of the chao doctor
locking the game up, and you loosing the chao that you take to it. I have
never had this happen, this is one reason why you should always keep a
backup of your chao data). Here you will also find the classroom. Here,
you can take your chao to learn several lessons, once your chao has learned
a task, they will perform the learned action when they are in the garden.
In order to get to the school you must have come to chao world from the
stage select screen, and not from the story mode. In order to go to the
garden, you should pick your chao up and carry them out of the garden,
and then carry them through chao world into the school. It should be noted
that you can only send a chao to a class 3 times before you will be told
your chao has "mastered" this trait. I suppose that means it has become
better at that lesson.

The lessons that the chao can learn are:

- Cymbals
- Maracas
- Song
- Bell
- Tambourine
- Drums
- Trumpet
- Castanets
- Spin Dance
- Step Dance
- Go-Go Dance
- Shake Dance
- Swing Dance
- Drawing
- Exercise
- Flute

These are all of the lessons that I know of, if there are more, please let
me know and I will list it right here.

[2.7]. MASKS
Your chao can also wear masks if you give them to the chao. There are
three masks that your chao will use. You can give any chao the top of
their eggshell, and they will wear it around, if they are happy. In the
neutral and hero garden, there are pumpkins that can be given to the chao
to wear, and in the dark garden, there are skulls that you can give
you your chao. In order to get the pumpkins or skulls, you will need to
get Knuckles or Rouge the digging power up, and dig around in the garden.

Note: The chao must have received a skeleton dog in order to wear a mask.
The only way to remove a mask is to either throw your chao or wait until
They tire of it (please do the latter, you don't want to upset Chaos [
SA1 boss]).

[2.8]. MOODS/FACES
-Moods
There are several different moods that your chao can be in. These are
all expressed with various symbols above the chaos head.

- dot, halo or spike ball, chao is in a normal typical mood
- question mark, chao is contemplating what his next action will be
- exclamation point, chao knows what he is about to do
- heart, chao is extremely happy
- swirl, chao is confused/tired
- laying down, if the chao is laying down snoring, it is asleep, always
let a chao finish their nap, or they will wake up tired.


- Faces
When your chao is born it is also born with a face that cannot be
changed until its rebirth (more on this later). This is affected
depending on how the chao is hatched. There is some report that
the chao's parents effect how the chao's face looks, though I
don't think this is accurate, and some reports that the garden
the chao has hatched in effects it. I have gotten most of these
face types in multiple gardens, so I haven't found any proof
personally about this, but it is something to consider.

Happy - don't touch the egg, just let the chao hatch on it's own.
This takes a long time, but the results are guaranteed, although, its not
too becoming on a dark chao.

Normal - The normal chao face is the hardest to get, you have to rock the
chao egg just enough, but not too much, its more of an art than it is a
science.

Evil - This is my favorite chao look. You can get it one of several ways,
you can chunk the egg (don't do this), shake the egg, put it down, and
shake it again, or you can pick the egg up and run around the garden
jumping.

Dazed and Confused - Yes, this chao looks like he is under the influence
of something. In order to get this chao, you must shake the egg far too
much; this is a good look if you want a funny chao.

Upside Down evil grin- This chao is very cool looking for a dark chao.
You need to jump around while holding the chao egg for a very long
Amount of time. You then need to sit the egg down and pick it back up
Very quickly before it can hatch. Then chunk it against the wall. The
Chao will not be pleased at first, but you can make it happier by
Petting it.

[2.9]. STATS

This is the single most important basic piece of chao knowledge that I can
give you and that is the stats that the chao has. If you have ever played
an RPG this should be fairly familiar to you. The chao has 7 basic stats
that you need to keep track of if you want to race. There are a couple of
theories on how to win races; I suggest that you create well- rounded chao
that are capable of doing anything. It should be noted that the maximum a
stat can reach is 999. The only way to view your chao's stats is to place
the chao into the VMU and check through Chao Adventure 2. This is a bit
annoying, but unfortunately is the only way that it can be done.

Running (green)- This controls the ability of the chao to run, give the
chao green chaos drives or animals with a green background in order to
increase this statistic.

Swimming (yellow)- This controls the ability of the chao to swim, give the
chao yellow chaos drives or animals with a yellow background in order to
increase this statistic.

Power (Red)- This controls the ability of the chao to climb or push objects
This is necessary in some of the later races especially. Give the animal
red chaos drives or animals in order to increase this statistic.

Flight (Purple)- This controls how well the chao can fly, this can be
great for shortcuts, when many chao fall into the water and have to swim
for it, your chao may be able to make up a lot of ground if they can fly
well. Give the chao purple chaos drives or animals to increase this stat.

Luck - This is controlled in the VMU game, Chao adventure 2. In order to
increase it, you must correctly guess which of the three treasure chests
has an item in it. The stat increases by 100 every time you guess
correctly, and decreases by 100 every time you are wrong. This helps you
chao into catching breaks as far as other chao falling in the races as well
as helping your chao not to do this (a good running stat can help this too)

Intelligence - Gaining smart fruit in Chao adventure 2 increases this.
There is some rumor that sending your chao to class helps this as well, but
this is just a rumor. Increasing this stat is essential in later races
where there are puzzles for your chao to solve. Also, the chao will be
likely to run the inside line in corners and not run across the track,
cutting times.

Stamina - You can increase Stamina by giving the chao fruits from the tree
or from the mini-game. The seeds that your chao can plant actually give
you more stamina. Make sure that your chao eats the whole thing. This is
great, because, it allows your chao to run faster and longer, and you can
cheer your chao on more. This is the most important of the "secondary"
stats.

[2.A] CHAO INTERACTION

This time Sonic Team has increased the amount of things that the chao
will do with each other. This takes the concept of A-life a lot further
as the chao with develop friendships and rivalries amongst each other
depending on how they feel about each other. It should be noted that
interaction seems to happen more when chao either really get along or
really dislike each other.

Known Interactions (between chao):
- Watch TV together (after TV is won, see prizes section).
- Play with the ball together (after garden ball is won).
- Help each other knock food out of a tree (is you starve them).
- Play in a band together (if multiple know how to play).
- Watch band play (if they don't know an instrument.
- Watching chao may cover their ears and cry. This results in the chao
playing the instrument to cry as well.
- Mate on their own.
- Play with the Jack in the box (when won).
- Listen to the radio together(when won).
- Push each other on the rocking horse.
- Hold hands, skip and play follow the leader.
- Fight over fruit
- Walk together (not holding hands)
- Dance with each other
- Play ring around the Rosie

Known interactions (between chao and character):
- follow the character around garden skipping.
- run to character when whistled to come
- "Baa" at character
- Squirm when picked up
- Fidget gleefully when picked up
- Cry
- Flail arms on ground, crying

Note: Each of these differs on how the chao feels about your character
I think you can tell which ones happen when your chao like you, and
vice versa.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[3]. GARDENS

There are three chao gardens in SA2, just like in the first game. The
difference is, all of the gardens in this game are much more useable.
In the first game, the only garden that was useable was station
square. In this game, all of the gardens are good and I keep chao in
all of them.

[3.1]. UNLOCKING GARDENS

You may notice when you first enter chao world, there is only one
garden, well, you have to unlock the other two. In order to open
up the hero garden you need a hero chao. In order to open up the
dark garden, you need to raise a dark chao, more on this in the
advanced chao raising section.

[3.2]. CHAO GARDEN

This is the basic garden that you first get when you open up chao world.
This garden is nice to raise any chao in; it is the smallest of the
gardens, and also the only garden with the entrance to the chao races
(why cant they give all of the gardens an entrance?). This is a pretty
little garden, with some nice cliffs and the like.

[3.3]. HERO GARDEN

This garden is unlocked once you raise a hero chao. This is the prettiest
of the gardens; it has a nice set of stairs up to a gazebo that allows for
chao to fly from. Also, it has a pretty water area for the chao to swim
in.

[3.4]. DARK GARDEN

This garden is ugly and evil looking, but I suppose that was Sonic Team
wanted to do with the garden. It has a really expansive cliff for flying,
a great flat area to feed the chao in and a bloody water area for swimming.
It even has its own creepy cave.
