The Black Market, also known as simply the Shop, is a location that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a shop managed by a Chao wearing black shades and a face mask, buying or selling "Chao goods" in exchange for Rings. Such items found in the Black Market include hats, fruit and Chao Eggs. In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, new Extreme Gear can be purchased and exchanged here.

Eggs[]

Eggs have a 30% chance to be Shiny, provided the Shiny colored egg has been unlocked. Every unlocked egg has an equal chance to appear. Any quantity of eggs, 1-5, have an equal chance per restock, and the same egg color cannot appear twice, whether it is shiny or not.

As the player collects Emblems, they gain access to the rarer Chao eggs, which includes shiny eggs.

Trivia[]

  • In the manual for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, there is a picture of a "Smart Fruit" located above the Chao Fruit; however, although its data is in the final build of the game in usable form, it can only be accessed through hacks or mods. The Smart Fruit increases the Chao's hidden Intelligence stat by +12%, with the last bite increasing +14% instead.
  • In Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Maria's theme can only appear if a Tiny Chao Garden link via Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, or Sonic Pinball Party is active; this does not apply to the HD version.
  • Due to an RNG bug in the HD re-releases of Sonic Adventure 2, the Black Market's egg seed will always be Seed 0, preventing the yellow, pink, and purple monotone and/or shiny Chao eggs from being bought.
  • The mushroom somewhat looks like the 1-Up Mushroom from the Super Mario Bros. games, although there is an unused alternate mushroom texture that looks like the Super Mushroom instead.
  • The Black Market makes a cameo appearance in the Team Sonic Racing Overdrive episode "Dangerous Distractions".
  • The name of the shop derives from the term of the same name, which is used to describe a type of business that deals either in shady business dealings or supplies contraband/illegal items. The fact that it is located inside a locker indicates that the Chao selling the items was a shady character.
