While there is a topic on the new Chao Garden in Sonic World, there is still much not known about the mechanics unless you start playing. That is because there are a few things I couldn't find anywhere even though I'm sure most people have figured some of this out. So I have decided to list EVERYTHING or what I think would be helpful about the Chao Garden in Sonic World. Anything you want to add or any mistakes I make let me know. ( will be updating this post )
Important message from Darky if you havn't or arn't going to scroll down -
DarkyBenji wrote:Don't buy the Dumbbell
if you give a dumbbell to a chao THAT don't know how to use toy, your game crash, not only that, you crash everytime you enter chao world so you ruin your save, GG
for unknow reason the ballon toys disapear when you throw them (or chao play with) in chao garden SA2, and don't respawn, so you just waste rings
NEW MECHANIC Chao Skills (or abilities that unlock at a certain level)
- at lvl 2 intellect your chao learns how to play with toys
- at lvl 3 swim your chao learns to actually swim. This stops the drowning message from appearing
- at lvl 4 run your chao learns how to run. Instead of crawling it will have a new animation (it is unknown if the chao will increase in speed when higher lvl or not)
- at lvl 6 fly your chao learns how to fly
- at lvl 8 intellect your chao learns how to wear hats
NEW MECHANIC Farming
The most effective way to train your chao is fruit, but you don't have to buy them, all the time. After every fruit your chao eats there is a chance it will drop a seed. You can then plant it by stomping almost anywhere in the garden. (even bridges and tall stuff)
Theres a limit of XX amount of seeds (im guessing 20 but ill double check and post the exact number soon)
Chao Evolution/Breeding Mechanics
- You cannot hatch a chao manually. It has one evolution in a cocoon and does not gradually evolve. It only ever changes form once after the evolution.
- To my knowledge normal chao that stay normal don't show cacoons and cannot evolve after it was supposed to (unless I just didn't see 3 of my normal chao evolve before they reincarnated)
- I believe only Sonic Tails and Knuckles are for Hero chao and Shadow/Rouge for Dark chao.
- for breeding your chao will randomly go in to mating season and have flowers. It will mostly be immobilized but will be able to walk or eat once in a while (or if you pick it up and set it down), only to follow the flowers coming back. I believe you HAVE to breed the chao before the flowers go away
Race/Karate
- There are 4, straight, SADX themed races and also a difficulty adjuster from 1-5
- both races and karate seem basic but they reward RINGS!
haven't been able to test them all so ill update this section when I complete them all
And now for the Black Market
