Gaia Temple

The Gaia Temples are a set of seven temples that appeared in Sonic Unleashed, and are located around the world which were made to seal Dark Gaia within the core of the planet. The process of sealing Dark Gaia is through the seven Chaos Emeralds as there is a small alter and hole for each emerald to be recharged. The act of the emeralds being recharged, in turn, leads to the equal and opposite reaction of the emeralds healing the Earth. Each temple controls a piece of the Earth. If all seven Chaos Emeralds are restored at their respective temples, then the world will be whole again.

Chip, the Light Gaia, shares a special connection with the temples, due to their sharing the job of restoring the planet's condition. The pendant around Chip's neck is used to activate the altar and reveal the hole for the Chaos Emerald. It's within the Adabat temple that his memory is restored, enabling him to sense the location of the temples. In times of self-defense, Chip is able to use the temples to form the body of the Gaia Colossus.
