Chao Containers can be hidden behind Wooden Containers, in the cover of secret platforms, etc. As per their purpose, they contain items that are released when they are broken, each holding a specific item depending on the order in which they are broken in:

• First container: One Chao Key which transports the player to the Chao World at the end of the Stage.
• Second Container: Four non-rare Animals of random species
• Third container: One copy of the Stage's designated rare small animal (imaginary category).

It should be noted that if a player dies before opening all three Chao Containers, they only need to open the containers they have not already opened to get the contents of the second and third containers.
