Each Stage holds three Chao Containers, with the exceptions of Green Hill and Hidden Base, which only have one and two respectively. Chao Containers can be hidden behind Wooden Containers, in the cover of secret platforms, and in other similar hidden areas. 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:
