Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

Full pause screen:

Pause game play then hold Y + X.

Sonic Team announcement:

Allow the game to idle at the "Press Start" screen. After several demos, the Sonic Team logo will appear again and Tails will say "Sonic Team!".

Hint: Boss time attack mode:

Successfully complete either side story to see all the scenes from the side of the story that you chose or you can play the Bosses that you fought in a time attack mode. To get both the Hero and the Dark modes you have to complete both sides of the game.

Hint: Last stage:

Successfully complete both Hero and Dark side story modes. Enter story mode to access the "Last Stage?" option.

Hint: Extra Island level:

To get an extra Island level, you must get all the Emblems, including Kart, Timed Boss, and the emblems for all A rating. Once you have them all, which should total 180, the island next to the Green Forest level will have the face of Sonic on it. The new level is a 3D version of the Green Hills Zone, from Sonic The Hedgehog. This level has no missions, is very simple, and has many varying routes.

Hint: Extra costumes:

Get A ranks on every mission with the character you wish to get the costume for in two-player mode.

Hint: Duplicating Chao:

This trick requires two memory cards (with another Sonic Adventure 2 Battle file on the second card), a link cable, and a Game Boy Advance. Put the Chao to be duplicated onto the Chao Transporter. Drop off your Chao to the Game Boy Advance. Then, go to "Move" on the Chao Transporter and transfer your real Chao (not the one in the Game Boy Advance) to a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle file on the second memory card. Next, pick up your Chao copy from the Game Boy Advance and transfer it to the Gamecube. You can now move back your real Chao from the other memory card to the first file you were working with.

This trick requires two memory cards. To get two free normal Chaos at one time, put two memory cards in the slots. Transfer all your Chao into one memory card (through the GBA Station). Erase Chao data on the first memory card, transfer the Chaos back, and then you will find two Chao eggs. Note: If you have acquired the Dark and Hero gardens, they will be lost. You have to earn them back again with babies. Also, If all your Chao do not fit on the memory card, either get another memory card, or you will lose them.

Use the following trick to copying a Chao with two memory cards and no Game Boy Advance. Put two memory cards into the Gamecube. Next, copy your Sonic Adventure Battle 2 file from the first memory card over to the second memory card. This will delete your Sonic Adventure Battle 2 file on the second memory card if you had one. Next, go to the Chao Garden (it does not matter which one, on which card) and go to the transporter (the big Game Boy Advance), select "Move Chao", and transfer whichever Chao you want from the second memory card to the first. If you do not want the file on the second, delete it. You can do this as many times as needed.

This trick requires two memory cards and a Game Boy Advance with link cable. Take a Chao to the Chao transporter. Drop off the Chao in the Game Boy Advance. Then, go back in and pick it up. Immediately after you select "pick up", disconnect the link cable. If done correctly, you will have the Chao both in the Game Boy Advance and the Chao Garden. Move the Chao in the garden to the other memory card. Then, move the one in the Game Boy Advance to the first memory card. Note: If you do not move the one in the first memory card to the second memory card and try to pick up the Chao on the Game Boy Advance, it will erase the Chao in the garden, leaving only one Chao.

Hint: Hero Garden for Chao:

Take a Chao and raise it with a Hero so that it will resemble a Hero. Wait until it cocoons into an angel-like Chao (it will have a halo). Then, take the stairs going up at the Chao Lobby to reach the Hero Garden.

Go to Pumpkin Hill and find the Skeleton Dog. Exit and do it again until you have maxed the line. Go to the Garden with a Hero character. The dogs should still be in there. Keep doing this.

Hint: Dark Garden for Chao:

Take a Chao and raise it with a Dark character. Feed and train it until it cocoons. After it evolves, stairs will appear at the Chao Lobby. Follow them to reach the Dark Garden.

Go to Pumpkin Hill and find the Skeleton Dog. Exit and do it again until you have maxed the line. Go to the Garden with Knuckles and drop off the Dogs. Exit the garden than go back in with a Dark character. The dogs should still be in there. Keep doing this.

Hint: Chao expressions:

Your Chao's expressions depend on how many seconds you shake the egg before it hatches. About six seconds results in the V face and ten seconds for no expression face. To get the very wide smile you may have to experiment.

Hint: Preview evolved Chao:

Get an already evolved Chao. Next, collect the animal you want to use (Dragons, Bears, etc.). Then, feed them to your evolved Chao. This will show you what your Choa will look like when evolved.

Hint: Soon to evolve Chao:

Your Chao is close to transforming if it starts to sleep often. If you have another transformed Chao, bring the sleeping Chao to the Hero Garden and it will transform.

Hint: Different Chao types:

You can make your Chao different types (for example, Running, Power, etc.) by giving your Chao a large amount of the same colored Chaos Drives. Pet your Chao with the either a Hero or Dark character. If you give your Chao green Chao Drives, then it will be a Running type. If yellow, it will be a Swimming type. If red, it will be a Power type. If purple, it will be a Flying type.

Hint: Different Chao head:

Go to the Black Market and buy a Red Apple or Cardboard Box. Take it to your Chao. When it is mature enough, give it the Apple or Cardboard Box to your Chao. It will be confused at first, then a "!" will appear above its head. It will put it on its head. If u do not want it on its head anymore, throw or punch it and it will pop off.

If you want your Chao to have an item on his head, such as a skull or a pumpkin, get a Skeleton Dog (small animal) which can be found on Church Mountain in Pumpkin Hill, as well as some other levels. Go to the Chao Garden and give a Chao the Skeleton Dog. Then, give it the item you want placed on his head. Skulls can be found by digging with Knuckles or Rouge in the Dark Garden; Pumpkins can be found by digging in the Chao or Hero gardens; and other items such as a Cardboard Box can be purchased in the Black Market in the Chao Kindergarten.

Hint: Free pumpkins for Chao:

Go to any Chao Garden as Knuckles and dig in the ground. You will find pumpkins if you dig enough. Give them to your Chao, and if it is powerful enough, it will put it on its head.

Hint: Finding items in Chao Gardens:

You can find items such as pumpkins (regular and Hero Garden) and skulls (Dark Garden). As Knuckles or Rouge, go into the Chao world. When you enter the gardens, there are plants that have big green leaves that are usually in corners or against the wall. If you dig in all of them, you should find an item worth 50 coins. Note: This does not work all the time -- wait or return another time and they should be there.

Hint: Kill yourself in the Hero Garden:

Go to the Hero Garden as Tails. Jump into the water and go to the deepest part. After a short time, you will hear the "danger" music and then die.

Hint: Chao swimming or flying:

To get your Chao to swim, give it lots of animals that can swim. To make them fly, give them some flying type animals and bring them to the tallest cliff. Set it by the edge and he/she will walk off and start flying. Note: It may not fly the first time -- keep trying.

Hint: Chao band or choir:

When one Chao starts to play an instrument or sing, pick up other Chaos and put them next to the singing/playing Chao. It will also start playing. Continue doing this and you will have a band/choir. Note: This works with all activities except for drawing. Some Chao may just sit down to watch and shake their heads to the beat.

Hint: Chaos Chao:

In order to acquire the immortal Chaos Chao transform a Chao at least two times. This means that your Chao must create a tear-shaped cocoon around it self twice. After this has been accomplished, give your Chao (hero, neutral, or dark) one of each animal. On the third transformation, your Chao will become a Chaos Chao. Note: This will not work if your Chao dislikes you.

Raise your Chao's stamina to about level 7 to 15 to send him through his first metamorphosis. Leave the Gamecube on overnight while you are in the garden. It is recommended that the Chao be alone in the garden. Then, check your game and he should be a baby which is good. After that, repeat the first metamorphosis process. Once evolved again, leave it on overnight once more. Now that your Chao is a baby again (for the third time), give it one of every animal. Finally give it a Hero Fruit for Hero Chaos Chao, a Dark Fruit for Dark Chaos Chao, and a Chao Fruit for a Light Chaos Chao. Wait for awhile for your well earned Chaos Chao.

Start abusing your Chao with the type of storyline you do not want your Chao to grow up to be. It will transform eventually. Repeat this until it has transformed three times. As you begin the rest of the game, give your Chao each small animal you find and that one Chao. It will turn into a Chaos Chao.

Get a fresh egg (white and blue only). Feed it only Chao Fruits and train it nicely with both sides, Hero and Dark, until it evolves once. It will create a cocoon in the shape of the Chao's head. If done correctly, it will be a baby blue Chao again. Repeat the last step until it evolves for the second time. After it has evolved twice (it should still be blue), give it one of every animal. Then, give it a Chao Fruit for a Neutral Chaos Chao, a Dark Fruit for an Evil Chaos Chao, or a Hero Fruit for an Angel Chaos Chao.

Hint: Black Chao:

To make a black Chao, grab it and keep throwing it to the ground or the walls.

Keep throwing the Chao when it is black and it will turn

blue again. It will then turn white. You can keep throwing and it will go blue, then black, and can be repeated as many times as desired.

Hint: Ultimate Light and Dark Chaos:

Once you have transformed your Hero or Dark Chao into a Chaos Chao, give it every animal. Wait a long time. Eventually it will start cocooning. Once it is out of its cocoon, if its an Ultimate Dark Chao it will have a blue flame above its head, horns, and huge wings. If its the Ultimate Light Chao, it will have a bright gold glowing halo over its head, pink glowing legs and arms.

To get the ultamate Light, Angel, and Devil Chao, you must first make sure you Chao has just rebirthed for its second time. Make sure you have not given it any animals yet. Then, give it one of all the twenty one animals to play with in no particular order (Boar, Cheetah, Bunny, Otter, Seal, Penguin, Gorilla, Tiger, Bear, Condor, Parrot, Peacock, Sheep, Racoon, Skunk, Half Fish, Skeleton Dog, Bat, Unicorn, Dragon, Phoenix). For an Angel Chao, use Sonic, Knuckles, or Tails to give all the animals. For a Devil Chao use Dr. Eggman, Shadow, or Rouge to give all the animals. For a Light Chao, use a combination of all the characters to give all the animals. Remember, if you want your Chao to rebirth you must not throw him or her. Pet them and feed them frequently. To get the best color for your Devil, Light, or Angel Chao, use the eggs that you get when you first entered the Garden. They are white with blue and yellow spots.

Hint: Shiny colorful Chao:

Enter the Tiny Chao Garden in Sonic Advance. Press L to buy an egg to get to the shop. Transfer the egg to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. When the egg comes out, it should be a different color than it was before the transfer.

Hint: Sparkly normal Chao:

At the Black Market, buy a white sparkly Egg. Buy two Chao Fruits. Give the Chao Fruits to the sparkly Chao and any kind of non-sparkly adult Chao about the same time. As soon as they have an egg, throw it against the wall to hatch it. Note: This trick will only work rarely. It should be born white with blue patches. It looks even better if you evolve it Dark.

Hint: Flame head Chao:

To get a blue flame Chao, raise a red Chao with Knuckles until it grows two spikes on it head. Then, go into Chao World and pet that Chao repeatedly for a long time. It should grow two ears on the top of its head. After that, pet it again repeatedly. A blue flame will appear on top of its head.

To get a blue flame Chao, go to the Black Market with a hero character and buy a lime green egg (requires 125 or more emblems). Bring the egg into the Hero garden and hatch it by rocking it (pick it up and hold B). Once hatched, feed it a Sea Monster (from the Hidden Base maze). Then, go back into the Black Market and buy a Chao Fruit. Feed it the fruit, then feed it a Hero Chao Nut. After it finishes, the ball above its head should be a blue and orange flame.

To get any type of flame head Chao, raise your Chao to be a Hero, Dark, or Neutral type. When it evolves into one, give it three Green Lagoon Monsters, which can be found as Tails when you have to infiltrate Eggman's base.

Give a Chao at least three Half Fish or a sea monster. You can find them in the Jungle level as Sonic.

Hint: Unicorn Chao:

Buy a White Egg from the Black Market. Raise it with both Hero and Dark characters. Pick up the egg and nudge it for a while. Note: If you throw the egg against the wall to hatch it, this trick will not work. Once it hatches, feed it coconuts until its stamina reaches level 4. Then, give it two Unicorns to play with. Keep petting it with both Hero and Dark characters so the ball above its head stays the same color, but the Chao gets happier. Soon it will start cocooning. When it gets out, it will be a unicorn Chao. If you abuse the chao in any way this will not work.

Hint: Chaos with items on their head:

Give your Chao a skeleton dog. Then, give your Chao a skull, trash bag, pumpkin, etc. After a little while, a "!" will appear above its head and it will put it on. To take it off, attack or jump on your Chao.

Hint: Chao with rainbow wings:

Keep giving a Chao all different color Chao Drives. Do this for a while and your Chao should grow either rainbow wings or rainbow arms. If this does not happen, keep trying.

Hint: Fire-breathing Chao:

Give a Chao a lot of Dragons. After that, it sometimes will blow fire out of its mouth. Watch closely, as the Chao will not do it very often.

Hint: Purple diamond Chao:

Get a normal baby Chao (from a spotted egg) and give it Warthogs (can be found in Radical Highway). Pet/love it with Rouge and grow its fly level to 30 or higher. Wait for it to grow up. Then, give it Skull Dogs to take off the Warthog and you will have a purple diamond Chao.

Hint: Gold Chao:

Link the game with Sonic Advance on the Game Boy Advance. Go to the Tiny Chao Garden. Press L and if you are lucky, you will be able to buy a gold egg for 1000 rings.

Trade a yellow jewel from Sonic Advanced to Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Buy a normal brown Chao from the Black Market. Buy two Heart Fruits. Give it to them. When they lay an egg, hatch it. It should be a gold Chao.

Hint: Sparkly Gold Chao:

Buy a sparkly yellow or brown egg from the Black Market. If you buy a sparkly yellow egg, buy two Heart Fruits and give one to the sparkly Chao and one to a normal brown Chao. If you buy a sparkly brown egg, buy two Heart Fruits and give one to the sparkly brown Chao and one to a normal yellow Chao. When they lay an egg, hatch it. It should be a sparkly Gold Chao.

Hint: Silver Chao:

Link the game with Sonic Advance on the Game Boy Advance. Go to the Tiny Chao Garden. Press L and if you are lucky, you will be able to buy a gold egg for 500 rings.

Get a white metallic Chao and raise it with a Dark character (Shadow, Rouge, Eggman) and it will turn silver.

Hint: Shadow Chao:

Keep giving a Chao Green Chaos Drives. When it evolves, it will have green stripes on its head just like Shadow. This works best with the normal Chaos that hatch from the white and blue eggs.

Hint: Knuckles Chao:

Only feed your Chao Red Fruits, and Red Chaos Drives. Do not give your Chao any animals. Your Chao must be a Hero Chao for this to work. Your Chao will have a stem on its head, but when it transforms its sixth time, its head will look like Knuckles.

Hint: Green Sonic Chao:

Get a blue egg from the Black Market. Give that Chao at least 15 Green Chaos Drives. As Sonic or Shadow, keep petting the Chao. Give that Chao the hog at least two times. You can also get a regular color Chao and give the 15 Green Chaos Drives. Then, when it evolves, spend a lot of time with the Chao as Sonic and it will be blue.

Hint: Super Sonic Chao:

Raise a Gold Chao from Sonic Advanced or Sonic Adventure 2 Battle with Shadow. Do not give anything to the Chao besides fruits (Hero, Dark, Round, etc.). When your Chao transforms it, will be a Super Sonic Chao.

Hint: Hyper Shadow Chao:

Raise a Silver Chao with Shadow. Feed it only fruit and chaos drives (red recommended). When it transforms, it will be a Hyper Shadow Chao.

Hint: Tails Chao:

Get a Purple Chao and raise it with Eggman until it gets a Dragon head (pet it frequently). Then, give it nothing except Purple Chaos Drives and only feed it five Fruits.

Hint: Dark Chao:

Get every animal two times with a Dark character. It can be either be Rouge, Shadow, or Dr. Eggman. Give every animal two times to the Chao, and when his stamina level is at 7, put him on the flowers. The Chao should be in a Chao head-like cocoon and in a few seconds it should hatch into a Dark Chao.

Hint: Crazy Chao:

Have a Dark Chao. When in the Dark Garden give it five Dark Fruits. After that, your Chao will sleep once you whistle. When he gets up, he will have a strange smile and start running around. He will hit other Chaos and knock them down.

Hint: Magic Chao:

When you enter Chao Karate, if you go to Expert you will see a Chao named Magic. First, pet a Chao frequently with Sonic, then get one of each animal and give it to the Chao. Then, get about eight Skeleton Dogs and give it to the Chao. All the animals should be gone. If not, keep giving him the Skeleton Dog then give it lots of Green Chaos Drives. This requires patience -- it should evolve when its level reaches 32. Note. If you leave the Gamecube on overnight, the spike on its head will get longer.

Hint: Ghost Chao:

To make your Chao a ghost, feed it lots of Bats.

Hint: Transparent Chao:

Breed a Shiny Chao with a Jewel Chao. Jewel chaos are the ones from Sonic Advanced. The normal egg is not a Jewel Chao, but silver and gold Chao eggs are. When the egg hatches, it will be light green and transparent. Try using the egg that costs 5000 rings and the shiny red Chao.

Get a Sapphire Chao from Sonic Advance and mate it with a Shiny White Chao. When the new Chao hatches, it will be a Clear Normal Chao. Note: When you change it Dark, it will be a Clear Black Chao, and Hero, it will be a White Clear Chao.

To get a totally transparent Chao, breed a clear Chao (mate a Jewel from Sonic Advance and a Shiny) and a Shiny Lime Green. If you do not get it, reset and try again. You will only be able see its wings, face, and the ball on its head.

Hint: Get higher Chao ranks:

Get the required Animal or Chaos Drive for the type of Chao you want. For example, the Yellow drive or Sea Otter for swim. Then, give them mostly that color of Drive or Animal. Eventually they will evolve into an adult. When this happens, if you gave them mostly yellow for example, the adult Chao will be a swimming type and if your rank in swim was, for example an "A" rank, it will go up to "S". To improve the letter rank in Stamina, make the Chao a normal type.

Hint: Get two Chaos to breed easily:

Get two heart fruits. Give one to each of the Chaos and flowers will instantly bloom around them. Grab one and put it right next to the other. Note: To breed baby Chao, you need five to ten heart fruits.

Hint: Chao status:

If your Chao has already evolved and has another tear shaped cocoon around it, it is either being reborn or going to die. If the tear shaped cocoon is gray, the Chao is going to die. If the cocoon is pink, your Chao will be reborn and all stats will be divided by 10.

Hint: Change Chao color to white or black with normal egg:

After your normal egg hatches, decide if you want the Chao to be white or black. If you want it to be black, get either Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles and use that character to abuse your Chao. It will eventually turn black. If you want it to be white, use Rouge, Shadow, or Eggman and abuse it. Note: Chao will be extremely sad, scream, and run.

Hint: Open Chao egg easily:

Throw a Chao egg against a wall.
