Chao Basics
To gain access to your Chao, আপনি must venture into Chao World. To go to Chao World, আপনি must find a 'Chao Box' in one of the levels. When আপনি break open the Chao Box, আপনি will find a key inside. When আপনি collect this key, আপনি 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 সেকেন্ড box will be four যেভাবে খুশী জন্তু জানোয়ার from that stage. In the third (final) box will be the "special" animal in that stage. See the animal sections for আরো information on this.
Once আপনি are in Chao World, আপনি will gain access to the Chao Gardens. Time only passes while আপনি are inside the Chao Garden. So if আপনি are in the Chao Lobby, playing a stage, অথবা 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 আপনি look inside, আপনি 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, সরানো the analogue stick to shake it. After about 5-10 সেকেন্ড of shaking the egg, place it back down. The egg will start to bobble, then hatch giving আপনি your Chao.
Throwing:
আপনি can also throw the Chao egg to hatch it. To do this, pick up the egg দ্বারা 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 দ্বারা 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 অথবা upset afterwards.
Many people just use this way simply because it is quicker to hatch the egg this way. However, it has been ব্যক্ত in a few guides/manuals/magazines that this method produces a আরো active, lively Chao.
Leaving:
Your Chao egg will hatch naturally after a while. If আপনি leave your Chao egg alone and it will hatch দ্বারা itself. Hatching this way has also been ব্যক্ত to produce a normal, but maybe timid Chao. There has been nothing to নিশ্চিত this however, so for now it seems to be just idle speculation.

Chao Actions
Chao do a lot of things which I havn't actually covered before, so i thought i might as well record the ones i know of. If there is an action আপনি do not see here it may be an animal trait.
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). The Chao will contnue to do this until আপনি pet/pick/feed/hit it. If আপনি do not do anything, after a while it will stop and start to excitedly grin and hop from foot to foot giggling, and waving its arms.
If আপনি whistle, Chao that like the character alot will run towards it with an exclamation mark sign above them. Once they reach the character, they will do as above.
When being held, the Chao will enjoy it and have a ^_^ face.
It may also সরানো its arm out like it is giving a thumbs up.
Negative Actions
If your Chao severly dislikes your character and is near it, it may hiss and stick its tongue out at the player with a "baaahh" sound.
When being held the Chao will struggle and try to break free.
If the Chao has been attacked অথবা thrown it may stand and shiver to প্রদর্শনী it has been abused (it will make a "brr" shiver sound as if it is cold).
It may also become dizzy and sway with spiral eyes.
If আপনি take খাবার away from a Chao while it is eating it may start to cry.
Group Actions
If a Chao does something it has learned from the kindergarten, such as sing অথবা play an instrument, other Chao can যোগদান the activity. To make other Chao যোগদান the activity, pick them up and place them near the Chao performing.
If the other Chao can sing অথবা play their own instrument, they will যোগদান 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 যোগদান in with these activities if placed পরবর্তি 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).
Other Actions
Sometimes the Chao will hug a বৃক্ষ that has been planted and make a sound, sounding something like "ah!". I think the Chao is just প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে the বৃক্ষ প্রণয় so it stays alive for a little longer =)
Chao will also water the trees randomly also extending the tree's life.
If a Chao owns crayons won from the Onyx race they will (usually) draw a picture of their favourite character. However they may also randomly draw some other pictures. (more on this in the race toys section)
A very hungry Chao will walk over to খাবার that is on the ground already and start to eat it (even if it is another Chao's leftovers.
জন্তু জানোয়ার
There are seven groups of animals, and each group has three animals.
আপনি can give জন্তু জানোয়ার to your Chao to make it stronger and give it different personalities and looks. When আপনি give a Chao an animal, it will hug it, and attain its looks and skills. The animal will disappear after আপনি give it to a Chao.
জন্তু জানোয়ার are found hidden in the levels, usually in locked cages that আপনি have to destroy অথবা in pipes scattered around the stage (that আপনি have to whistle at). আপনি can also find them in robots created দ্বারা Dr. Eggman such as the bomb throwing monkeys, অথবা the robots that look like E-102 Gamma.
When আপনি give your Chao an animal, it will not only gain its looks and skills, but also an action. These are the জন্তু জানোয়ার that are in each group and what action it gives your Chao.

Chao Stats
As আপনি give your Chao আরো জন্তু জানোয়ার and Chaos Drives, its stats will increase. This is very important if আপনি want your Chao to do well in the races. In the Dreamcast Game the maximum stats can go up to is 999. On the Gamecube, the maximum stats can be is 3266 (Explained আরো in the SA2:B Section). I will তালিকা the stats below and their attributes:
Swimming
Swimming is needed when your Chao must swim. It is important to raise swimming অথবা আপনি 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 দ্বারা giving your Chao yellow class জন্তু জানোয়ার and drives.
For Dreamcast, your Chao learns to swim when its Swim stat reaches 100.
Flying
Flying can be very useful when আপনি have to jump into a pool অথবা fly over a ledge, because আপনি can get ahead easily if your flying stat is high. আপনি can raise the flying stat দ্বারা giving your Chao purple class জন্তু জানোয়ার and drives.
Running
Running is probably the skill needed most when racing. Nearly all races have a huge emphasis on running and if your Chao has a good running stat, it will be at a big advantage. Running can be improved দ্বারা giving your Chao green class জন্তু জানোয়ার and drives.
For Dreamcast, your Chao learns to walk when its Run stat reaches 20, and speed of walk increases at 100.
Power
Power is needed mostly when climbing cliffs. Some races with cliffs also have trees at the শীর্ষ that also require power from your Chao to shake a nut down. আপনি can increase your Chao's power stat দ্বারা giving it red class জন্তু জানোয়ার and drives.
Luck
On the Dreamcast, Luck is raised দ্বারা choosing the correct treasure chest in the Chao Adventure 2 mini game. On the Gamecube version, it can be raised দ্বারা giving your Chao স্বর্ণ class জন্তু জানোয়ার (this is NOT true for the Dreamcast game). 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.
Intelligence
Again, on the Dreamcast version, Intelligence can be raised in the Chao Adventure 2 mini game, this time দ্বারা eating Smart Fruits collected there. The Gamecube version lets আপনি raise intelligence দ্বারা giving your Chao blue class জন্তু জানোয়ার (but NOT in the Dreamcast version). আপনি 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 অথবা 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 দ্বারা eating nuts from the trees.
আপনি can also cheer for your Chao দ্বারা using the trigger buttons. This will shortly give your Chao an extra boost of speed. However, be careful, as doing this takes away আরো stamina than usual so আপনি should try to pace yourself.
To gain access to your Chao, আপনি must venture into Chao World. To go to Chao World, আপনি must find a 'Chao Box' in one of the levels. When আপনি break open the Chao Box, আপনি will find a key inside. When আপনি collect this key, আপনি will be warped to Chao World at the end of the level.
