Raising Chao on SA2B

=Basics=

Chao love to be pet. It is important to do this because not only will your chao form a bond with that character, but its happiness will raise (increases by 1 every time you pet it). Happiness is a hidden stat in chao, which can range from -100 to 100. Be sure not to abuse your chao. It is very easy to change your chao's happiness. Also, it is shown that not giving your chao the fruit in your hands when it runs up to you may also play a role in this. See SA2B Chao Life Cycle to get a better understanding of a chao's life.

=Hidden Stats=

Besides happiness, other hidden stats exist. Luck and intelligence, which both play a huge role in chao races. Luck determines how often your chao tends to trip in races, and intelligence will help your chao in a certain part of the course in jewel races. These stats can both be raised by giving it animals.

=Stats & Stat Ranks= ---

There are 5 main stats, which you can see on your chao's chart whenever you feed them fruit or give the animals and chaos drives. From top to bottom, they are Swim, Fly, Run, Power, and Stamina. Here is how you raise certain stats:

Swim


 * Chaos Drive: Yellow


 * Animals: Seal, Penguin, Otter

Fly


 * Chaos Drive: Purple


 * Animals: Peacock, Condor, Parrot

Run


 * Chaos Drive: Green


 * Animals: Rabbit, Cheetah,Warthog

Power


 * Chaos Drive: Red


 * Animals: Tiger, Bear, Gorilla

See SA2B Animals for more information.

As for stat ranks, see the doctor in Chao Kindergarten.

=Chao Kindergarten= ---

You can access it through the entrance on the opposite side of the lobby from the Chao Garden. It includes five different doors along with the Black Market.


 * Classroom: You can drop your chao off here to learn new skills which include instruments, drawing, dancing, exercising, and singing. Some subjects require more than one class for it to be mastered. Remember, once you drop your chao off, you cannot pick it up until the lesson is finished.


 * Health Center: Bring your chao here to view its stat ranks and chao stadium records or to cure it if it's sick. Being sick is usually rare with chao, but listen for the occasional groan. This is no animal noise, it's one of your chao. Take it to the doctor immediately.


 * Principal's Room: He'll tell you all the basics for raising chao.


 * Fortune-Telling House: Here you can get your chao named. The fortune teller will give you suggestions for names, but there is a way to name the chao yourself. When she asks if you want a different name, select no, and then she will ask you if you want to name the chao yourself.


 * Black Market: Here you can purchase chao eggs, menu themes, hats, fruits, and tree seeds.
