Game» SA2 Chao Guide

The third mission for each stage is locating a lost chao.

»Radical Highway
Time for 'A' Rank: 2:30
After the second checkpoint, make your way down a long slope and jump on the orange ramp. Swing up to reach the highest part of the highway and hit the GUN robot. Swing over to the cylindrical platforms (don't fall off) and hit the floating robots and the spring to reach the top of the bridge (a gold hoverbot will be there.) Omochao will tell you to grind forward, but instead grind backwards and crouch 3/4 of the way. If you don't stop crouching, you will shoot off to your death. If you stop crouching too soon, you won't make it all the way up. Once you land on the top of the bridge, use Mystic Melody on the melody altar and a set of platforms will appear. Jump across the platforms to find the lost chao.

»White Jungle
Time for 'A' Rank: 3:20
After the 3rd checkpoint, there will be a chao box and a bumper that will bounce you to a higher platform. There will be a rope-launcher that will send you into the distance. Instead of taking it, walk backward, past 2 flaming torches. You will see the Melody Altar at the end of the path. Play the Mystic Melody and a series of platforms will appear. Once you reach the top, there will be a series of platforms and bots to homing attack in order to make your way across. Move slowly; some of the bots are electric. This time limit gives you plenty of time to clear the mission and get an 'A' emblem in one try. I did. ^_^

»Sky Rail
Time for 'A' Rank: 1:10
After the second checkpoint, don't grind down the rail. Instead, break the nearby crate to reveal the Melody Altar and play Mystic Melody, and a row of rings will appear. Light dash across the ring trail and run around the round platform you land on to find the bumpers to the top where the chao is waiting, but be sure to avoid the two GUN Hawks that will be shooting at you the whole time. This may take a few tries to get the chao in time, so a good tip would be to hit the save-point markers as you go, especially if you made a record time when you passed them.

»Final Chase
Time for 'A' Rank: 5:15
After you come out of the second blue warp tube, you will run into a bot, a long hall, and a series of green horizontal gravity tubes. Make your way across (there's a 20-ring box and an extra life to be found among them) to the last tube which has a pulley over it. Use the pulley, hit the artificial Chaos bot before it hits you, and make your way up the vertical tube. There will be another pulley. Use it. You will land on a platform with Melody Altar. Play Mystic Melody, wait a few seconds, then light dash across (if you don't wait, all the rings won't appear and you will die). There will be a 10-ring box and a tall vertical tube. Dodge the 3 exploding meteors and the force fields (you can hear them buzzing before you see them, be warned) and the chao is at the top.

»Shadow Chao
To make a Shadow chao, take a baby chao and give it Green Chaos Drives and Green System animals- rabbits, cheetahs and boars. Be sure to raise it with Shadow or another dark character (Eggman or Rouge). Evolve it, and it will be black with green stripes on it's quills. Giving it more green system animals will make it's quills turn red. This chao will have high running and power stats, but low swimming and flying stats.
