Chao Race

Chao Racing is an event that Chao can compete in by going through the door on the other side of the Station Square Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX or by tunnel from the Neutral Garden in Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Also, you'll be rewarded with emblems and toys for your Chao if you place 1st. The Chao Race has remain unchanged in both the original and remake versions of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. In Sonic Adventure 2 and its remake Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, there are Beginner races, Jewel races, Challenge races, Hero races, Dark races, and Party races. Each one has at least 4-12 races in their group such as the challenge race, it has 12 races in its group. This does not include Party races. It is held in the Chao Stadium.

Basics

Chao Racing involves a group of Chao, usually eight, attempting to reach one end of the course from a designated starting point. More difficult courses are longer and the competing Chao have stronger stats to match.

Stat Effects

• Swim: This allows Chao to swim faster and more effectively in water areas.
• Fly: Higher flight stats allow a Chao to fly farther and faster and avoid more obstacles.
• Run: Chao run along the ground faster at higher speeds.
• Power: This lets Chao climb cliff faces faster and shake trees quicker.
• Stamina: More stamina lets a Chao run longer. Also, a quick speed burst can be given by hitting A at the cost of some stamina.

Non-Visible Stats

There are two stats that cannot be seen on the chao's list of stats. These are:

• Intellegence: Chao that have attended more kindergarten classes will solve puzzles faster and are more likely to get them right the first time. Also, any animal with a silver lining and backdrop when you pick it up (such as the skulldog) will increase this stat, and may also have a special side effect on the chao. e.g. the skull-dog allows the chao to wear on object on its head, such as a pot, tree stump, or wool hat.
• Charisma: Playing with your chao will increase the charisma stat or lower it, depending on how you raise the chao. Any animal with a golden lining and backdrop, like the phoenix, will increase this stat, and again may have a special side effect on the chao. E.g. if a chao is given many dragons, it may spew fire for fun while lazing about the chao garden.

Obstacles

• Trap door: These show up randomly when a Chao runs over the designated section, costing time as they pull themselves out.
• Jack-in-the-box: All Chao run into these in certain races and must open them to proceed. If the jack springs out, the Chao will faint and lose time. The appearance of the jack is a random occurrence.
• Trees: At tree patches, Chao must shake down a nut and eat it to continue. Eating speed is the same for all Chao.
• Matching puzzle: The Chao must present an item to the screen that matches the one shown.
