The Dark Chao Walker (ダークチャオウォーカー, Dāku Chao Wōkā^?) is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a very powerful battle mech created by Dr. Eggman for the Dark Chao to be able fight. It is the dark counterpart of the Chao Walker.

Description

Appearance

Stylized after the Dark Chao, the Dark Chao Walker is a large mechanoid whose main body resembles the head of a Dark Chao, complete with a dark red coloration and a spiked ball floating at the top of it. However, instead of eyes, it has a windshield with the Dark Chao Walker's cockpit behind it, and a wide toothy Dark Chao grin right below it. It also has a Dark Chao arm on each side and Dark Chao feet for legs. Lastly, it has small Dark Chao wings on its back.

Features and abilities

The Dark Chao Walkers boasts superior firepower above all else. They are equipped with a Volkan Cannon (which are not very effective), the Lock-On Missile and an Omochao-styled melee weapon. They are also equipped with different missile launchers, and can fire super-sized lasers. However, they move very slowly.

Game appearances

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

The Dark Chao Walker made its first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. In this game, it appears as a playable character in the game's shooting stages in the multiplayer mode. In this enhanced port of Sonic Adventure 2, the Dark Chao Walker replaces Big the Cat, who appeared in Sonic Adventure 2's shooting stages in the multiplayer mode, in the game's roster. The Dark Chao Walker would later repeat its role in the 2012 remaster of the Sonic Adventure 2.

In gameplay, the Dark Chao Walker is the opposite of the Chao Walker. Instead of having weak attack and defense, the Dark Chao Walker boasts the highest attack power and defense of all the playable characters in the shooting stages. As a result, it can launch high-powered and long-ranged attacks. In return, however, the Chao Walker is the slowest of all the playable characters in the shooting stages, and the firepower of its Volkan Cannon is not very effective.

The Dark Chao Walker possesses the following special attacks in multiplayer mode:

Rings	Special attack	Effect
20	Crazy Rush	Fire powered-up Homing Missiles heavily and rapidly. Fires an extra round of projectiles.
40	Hell Bomber	Fires powerful rocke missiles upward for heavy bombing. Fires more projectiles than other characters.
60	Dark Finish	Fires a super powerful and thick dark laser from the front end of the machine. Last roughly 50% longer than the Power Laser.
