Chao Basics
To gain access to your Chao, bạn must venture into Chao World. To go to Chao World, bạn must find a 'Chao Box' in one of the levels. When bạn break open the Chao Box, bạn will find a key inside. When bạn collect this key, bạn will be warped to Chao World at the end of the level.
There are three Chao Boxes in each level. The first one will contain the key to Chao World. In the một giây box will be four ngẫu nhiên động vật from that stage. In the third (final) box will be the "special" animal in that stage. See the animal sections for thêm information on this.
Once bạn are in Chao World, bạn will gain access to the Chao Gardens. Time only passes while bạn are inside the Chao Garden. So if bạn are in the Chao Lobby, playing a stage, hoặc in a different Chao Garden to the one your Chao is in, it will not change/age/etc. At first there is only one Chao Garden, and if bạn look inside, bạn will see two Chao Eggs. These eggs contain your Chao.
These two Chao will be the regular normal Chao. These Chao are "two tone" Chao, which are light blue with yellow highights.
Hatching Chao
There are three ways of hatching the eggs, each way having different effects on your Chao.
Shaking:
Shaking the egg is the most common way of hatching an egg. Pick up the egg using the 'B' button, and while still holding it, di chuyển the analogue stick to shake it. After about 5-10 giây of shaking the egg, place it back down. The egg will start to bobble, then hatch giving bạn your Chao.
Throwing:
bạn can also throw the Chao egg to hatch it. To do this, pick up the egg bởi pressing the 'B' button, then while moving, press 'B' again. This will not make your Chao very happy at first. But there have been no negative effects that have been noticed bởi hatching this way. All that seems to happen is that the Chao will have an "angry/upset" tornado swirl expression above it's head (see the expressions page). But the Chao does not actually seem in any way harmed hoặc upset afterwards.
Many people just use this way simply because it is quicker to hatch the egg this way. However, it has been đã đưa ý kiến in a few guides/manuals/magazines that this method produces a thêm active, lively Chao.
Leaving:
Your Chao egg will hatch naturally after a while. If bạn leave your Chao egg alone and it will hatch bởi itself. Hatching this way has also been đã đưa ý kiến to produce a normal, but maybe timid Chao. There has been nothing to xác nhận this however, so for now it seems to be just idle speculation.

Positive Actions
If your Chao likes your character and is near it, it may bow and say something that sounds like "hiiiiii".
Your Chao may start bouncing towards you, and when it reaches the character it will start to 'rub' against them (similar to a cat in real life).

Group Actions
If a Chao does something it has learned from the kindergarten, such as sing hoặc play an instrument, other Chao can tham gia the activity. To make other Chao tham gia the activity, pick them up and place them near the Chao performing.
If the other Chao can sing hoặc play their own instrument, they will tham gia in and form a band. Chao that do not know how to do anything will simply sit back and watch and enjoy the show. After the band finish playing the sitting Chao will stand up and applaud them.
Chao will tham gia in with these activities if placed tiếp theo to a Chao already doing it: watching TV, playing with the ball, listening to the radio, playing with the rocking horse (other Chao will watch).

A very hungry Chao will walk over to thực phẩm that is on the ground already and start to eat it (even if it is another Chao's leftovers.
động vật
There are seven groups of animals, and each group has three animals.
bạn can give động vật to your Chao to make it stronger and give it different personalities and looks. When bạn give a Chao an animal, it will hug it, and attain its looks and skills. The animal will disappear after bạn give it to a Chao.
động vật are found hidden in the levels, usually in locked cages that bạn have to destroy hoặc in pipes scattered around the stage (that bạn have to whistle at). bạn can also find them in robots created bởi Dr. Eggman such as the bomb throwing monkeys, hoặc the robots that look like E-102 Gamma.

In the Dreamcast Game the maximum stats can go up to is 999. On the Gamecube, the maximum stats can be is 3266 (Explained thêm in the SA2:B Section). I will danh sách the stats below and their attributes:
Swimming
Swimming is needed when your Chao must swim. It is important to raise swimming hoặc bạn will lose your position in the races to the better swimmers. An extremely bad swimming stat will also mean that they won't be able to swim in the Chao Gardens! Raise swimming bởi giving your Chao yellow class động vật and drives.
For Dreamcast, your Chao learns to swim when its Swim stat reaches 100.
Flying

Luck is needed on some of the courses where at the end; your Chao must choose a lane to run down. If your Chao picks the wrong one, it will fall down a hole and probably lose its position.

Again, on the Dreamcast version, Intelligence can be raised in the Chao Adventure 2 mini game, this time bởi eating Smart Fruits collected there. The Gamecube version lets bạn raise intelligence bởi giving your Chao blue class động vật (but NOT in the Dreamcast version). bạn should raise intelligence as it will help your Chao solve the different puzzles in the course such as the shape game, and how quickly it solves the jack in the box puzzle.
Stamina
Stamina is one of the most essential parts hoặc racing. If your Chao has a low amount of stamina, it will run out easily and your Chao's running speed will drop greatly. Stamina can be raised bởi eating nuts from the trees.
bạn can also cheer for your Chao bởi using the trigger buttons. This will shortly give your Chao an extra boost of speed. However, be careful, as doing this takes away thêm stamina than usual so bạn should try to pace yourself.

First, hatch a normal (spotted egg) with Shadow. Next, give the Chao chaos drives with Shadow only. It will turn brownish-black (probably). Then, when bạn increase the Chao's stamina to level 9-12, it will eventually evolve. Finally, continue giving it chaos drives until it turns black and red (this may take a while). When done, it will be black and blood red, and 2 spikes that go down and 1 that stays up, and the ears will 70% resemble Shadow. Your Chao is done! bạn now have a Shadow Chao!
