Chao Guide (SADV1)

From Sonic - Wiki on Neoseeker

To hatch your Chao, simply just move the hand cursor over the Chao Egg and press the A button to rub it. Sooner or later the Chao will hatch. It will have name already when it hatch, but you can change it buy moving the cursor over the name and pressing A. From there, you can change the name.

[edit] Chao Games

In the Garden, there are two Gameboy Advance systems landing on the ground. Click on one of them with the cursor to play a game. You need to play games to earn more rings so you can buy more stuff for your Chao.

White GBA - Rock, Paper, Scissors: There are 3 symbols at the bottom of

the screen, each one representing the "Rock", "Paper", and "Scissors" symbol. Move your cursor over one of them and press A to send them up towards the Rock, Paper, Scissors symbols floating around your Chao. Choose the right symbols to beat the other symbols to win more rings You get 1 Ring for each right match you get. You get 5 chances to miss and a Time Limit of 30 seconds. Just in case you don't know this old game works, here is what beats what:

Scissors beats Paper
Paper Beats Rock
Rock Beats Scissors

Purple GBA - Matching Game: Just like in the old Chao Adventure games. Just match one card with another. This time however, the Chao sometimes moves the cards before its time to play to confuse you some more (evil huh?). Remember to exit the Chao Garden by selecting the "Save & Exit" option from pressing start so you can save all your chao data.

[edit] Your Chaos Abilities

Press the L Shoulder Button to to bring up a Food/Item menu to the left. From here, you can give your Chao different foods or an item. All this stuff isn't free though, you need rings to "buy" the foods and items to give to your Chao. The total amount of rings you have at the end of Acts is how many rings you will have in the garden.
The following food and items are:

Normal Fruit - 30 Rings
Blue Fruit - 60 Rings
Pink Fruit - 55 Rings
Green Fruit (Apple?) - 50 Rings
Purple Triangle Fruit - 30 Rings
Yellow Fruit (Pear?) - 55 Rings
Red Fruit (Apple?) - 70 Rings
Chao Egg - free
Blue Chao Egg - 7000 Rings
Green Chao Egg - 10000 Rings
Horn - 1000-3000 Rings

Not all items are on the menu are there at once, sometimes a Chao Egg is there and sometimes its not. Also the Horn cost different amount of rings as well. I seen it at 1000 and sometimes at 3000 so I'm not sure of the certain cost of the Horn.

Feeding your Chao different fruits makes its stats raise up in a different way. The following stats are:

Mood:
[][][][][][][][][][]
Belly:
[][][][][][][][][][]
Swim: lv.x
[][][][][][][][][][]
Fly: lv.x
[][][][][][][][][][]
Run: lv.x
[][][][][][][][][][]
Power: lv.x
[][][][][][][][][][]
Stamina: lv.x
[][][][][][][][][][]

"lv.x" Just means whatever level. As you find your Chao fruit, the stats raise, when meter of a stat gets full, it raises to the next level.

The Mood meter moves up or down depending on how good your Chao is feeling. The Belly meter goes up as you feed your Chao, when its near full, your Chao won't eat anymore till its down. Keep an eye on this as a way to tell when your Chao is hungry or not.
