Chao Racing is an event that Chao can compete in by going through the door on the other side of the Station Square Garden in Sonic Adventure or through the waterfall at the Neutral Garden in Sonic Adventure 2 and races in their group such as the challenge race, it has twelve races in its group. This does not include Party races. It is held at 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:

  • Intelligence: Chao that have attended more kindergarten classes will solve puzzles faster and are more likely to get them right the first time.
  • Luck: Playing with the Chao will increase the Luck stat or lower it, depending on how the Chao is raised. In races, this determines the luck of the Chao in certain situations.

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 dependent of the Luck/Intelligence of the Chao.
  • 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.
