Chao were first introduced into the sonic universe in 1999 with the release of sonic adventure on the sega dreamcast. Since then they have been featured in MANY other sonic games with roles that are often very different from game to game. In this vide I am going to be showing you every single chao appearance within an official sonic the hedgehog game. This does not include non-game appearances such as tv shows or comics. I might one day cover those though, let me know if that is something you'd be interested in :)

Thanks for checking out this video! I really hope you enjoy it, please share it with others if you did! I hope SEGA seeing a greater interest in chao might encourage them to include them in more games!
Got a fun challenge for you, respond to this comment with how many times you think I said the word "chao" in this video. Click read more to see the answer
Answer: 281 times, think thats a new record for me lol
I think it was 200 times
I hope Sega either brings back Chao Garden someday or makes something similar to Chao Garden
Chao are the best
@TheShadow1347 Same but tbh I don't expect much from the Netflix game to come, I've seen how their games are and well... if they're gonna be like that, I'm truly not into that
Speed battle isn't dead. it's still getting updates, and every day I play it, there's at least 2 real humans playing
This is such easy money for SEGA. It is long overdue for a proper Chao Garden. Let's hope we get one real soon.
Have I got some news for you (they're making a chao game)
I have been fiending for a mobile chao garden
Como olvidar el Chao Garden, recuerdo que siempre iba ahí cuando jugaba Sonic Adventure en mi SEGA Dreamcast, los chao son tan bonitos y tan tiernos, muchos lo extrañamos y quisiéramos verlos de vuelta en los nuevos juegos de Sonic,ya que son personajes que marcaron una generación pero que lamentablemente el Chao Garden quedó injustamente olvidado y merecen volver ya que son tan entrañables.❤❤❤❤
@@g0lfl3fl3urthis is true?
About Team Sonic Racing... that is definitely meant to be Omochao speaking, there's a distinct robotic-sounding filter to those voice lines.
so is omochao not a chao or no
@@TheAmazingAnimatorhe’s a robot so sort of not
@@mr_red3 he has chao in the name -_-
@@mr_red3 explain
@@TheAmazingAnimator if i made a robot, based it off of a fox, and named it “robofox”, is that a fox? no, because it’s a robot. it may be based off of a fox, and have fox in the name, but it’s still not a real fox.
Murder of sonic the hedgehog also has the big chao band, a group of chao in a jazz band. They can even play you some music, theyre precious!
In Phantasy Star online episode I & II on GameCube, there's an Easter egg chao appearance in one of the missions called, "the fake in yellow". Using the Gameboy machine, you can transfer a legit Tails Chao to a sonic adventure game. (The only official way to unlock the Tails character Chao in the West)
yeah but the title does say "Chao in sonic games"
@@polocatfan thought I would mention it because he does bring up an example in a non-sonic game like Phantasy Star Universe which was published by Sega.
@@polocatfanI don't think Virtua Striker is a Sonic game though
Fun fact: that jewel chao necklace is a real item. It comes from the sonic team and kingice collaboration, and you can still buy one! ... it's 150 dollars, but it IS real gold and "diamond simulate". They also have other designs, likea dark chao and some sonic characters.
Where can I buy one
28:07 I like the idea that Chao evolved to be as cute as possible just so other species can take care of them.
I would add these extra tidbits to the following games:
SADX: Cream and Cheese have a small cameo flying around the overworld, sometimes the camera follows them for a bit
Advance 3: because of the pair mechanic, the other characters can team up with Cream and their special ability makes Cheese turn into the character's color in order to start wreaking havoc (blue for Sonic and so on)
What a lovely Easter Basket you've given us.
8:54 I've gotten a Jewel Chao this way before. I absolutely do not recommend it unless you are truly desperate.
19:06 That is literally just a screen capture of the Maria getting shot cutscene from Shadow The Hedgehog.
Thanks for confirming the maria screenshot, so weird they included that
Okay, I have to correct myself. I went through every cutscene in Shadow and couldn't find that specific moment (only one slightly close). So... they went out of their way to make an HD Image of Maria getting shot. Wow.
@@SoldarakuPretty sure it is in the game, they just zoomed in the image.
The beauty of Chao is incredible, those creatures are adorable and at the same time badly suffered, cute creatures that have tragic pasts are the best way to create a poetic and touching story! That's also why Sonic stories are so touching, because despite the shōnen side characters have in their look, design and personality, they have also a cute side, they're adorable to watch, that's why it's even sadder when they suffer.
The Minecraft bit goes farther than what you shown. In the separately-sold texture pack, Chao replace certain other mobs. The wandering trader NPC is replaced by the Black Market Chao and his llamas are replaced by the weird green half-fish creature floating in the air via balloon, pulling a wagon full of merchandise.
The Sniffer mob is reskinned into some weird primordial quadrupedal Chao with Chaos-like bits on it.
Cleric Villagers wear Chao-themed robes.
Allays are just straight-up replaced with neutral Chao
the Vex mobs are also replaced with dark Chao
Vexes are also replaced with Dark Chao
And there was also the HiveMC Collab which had a Black Market and more Chao
minor corrections:
As another user mentioned, Chao make a cameo in Phantasy Star Online episode 1 and 2 for GameCube (it's one of the only ways to get the tails Chao.)
Cream is playable in Sonic Battle and uses Cheese the Chao in some attacks.
(also not really a correction, but Gamefam who created Sonic Speed Simulator have been known to underpay and overwork their employees, so I probably wouldn't recommend sonic speed simulator.......)
4:50
"improved races"
.......OH! The OTHER kind of race. I was very confused for a second.
Wow, I didn’t know that there were so many different Sonic games with chao! I really hope that the chao garden is brought back into games soon. Chao are just so adorable!
Agreed.
I love playing as Chao in Mechs using Mods in Sonic Adventure. I swear they're so much fun to play as and I just love raising the 3 variants of Chaos Chao too (Angel Devil and Neutral Chaos) along with the Sonic Chao.
I'm not sure if i missed it in the video. But, Tails can still drown in the DC version of SA2's hero garden.
I love that Sonic Chronicles had so many unique designs and types for Chao. My favorite Chao in the team was called "Joy" which gave a free heal to the whole party at the start of the turn and was super helpful for HP sustain in boss battles. Spartoi was an instant KO Chao and was super helpful to use when grinding. Ovus is another unique Chao with a special style, too!
Overall, super comprehensive overview of Chao in games. Hopefully we see a more prominent role of the Garden come out. I'd love to see Chao Modding on a more current and modern system, with more detailed models that we currently have.
Pure excitement the moment this popped up on my feed :D so excited for more content like this
Cheese high-fiving their bro Sonic is weirdly one of my favourite moments in any Sonic game’s story.
I have loved the chao garden since I was 8. I miss the chao garden in Sonic games so much.
favorite youtuber keep up the good work choa✨
Thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoyed the video :D
Enjoyed the video and I really hope to see more Chao Garden come to life, I'd love to have a Chao Garden as its own game but with updated graphics and stuff lol
I would also love to see that!
Im not sure how a standalone game of Chao Garden would work, I think SA2 had the best garden, and it should be improved along with a newer SA3
You're the best Choa, loved this video reminded of great times
What about Frontiers? Though that game didn't feature Chao, the game's plot contained some major implications for the Chao.
Choa this is such a really well made video and I know it took a long time to research, script, record and edit. I hope it gets a million views.
Thanks for the kind words!
Sonic team is missing out on not having a Chao game. It's clear we want to raise our Chao again .
I was NOT expecting a video essay from you, what a fun surprise
I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Very well made video, thanks for making it!
Great video man! It’s amazing seeing your growth, from your original GameCube series to now. It always makes me smile :)
Thanks for watching for so long (says you've been subbed for 8 years, damn!), glad you are enjoying the content :)
@Choa Absolutely man!! Thank you for giving us the content!
31:50
They even feature a unique Creeper Chao. Creepers are an enemy from Minecraft that explodes if attacked or gets too close to you.
I guess those Chao were able to befriend a Creeper at some point without it getting bad.
Sonic battle shows cheese creams friend while she battles
We need an actual sonic fan with the SEGA devs they just keep making random games with less chao
Is that an updated rouge chao in the intro? If so, i honestly like it better than the regular rouge chao. Rouge has big ears and her motif is hearts, so this chao fits her better, imo. Her other chao self looked too much like a knuckles chao. Didnt fit her as well.
Edit: Saw the full video. Apparently thats the design of the official rouge chao. Very cool!
A half hour Choa video? What a treat!
14:50 "They appear again in the Archie comics-" *shows a photo of Cheese and Chocola in the IDW comics, specifically the ending of the Zombots arc where the infection is erased.* =
Yup that's definitely the Archie comics!
we must have about 500 Chao all in all on various memory cards, 16 files all in all and some on DX, we transfered some of the dX Chao onto SA 2. You could say I am obsessed
Wow. My knowledge of Chao's basically ends with SA2 and Dreamcast with VMU's (still have my Dreamcast and VMU's), crazy how much Chao's have expanded in the last 23 years.
18:58
So Chaos Chao are officially called Light Chao.
Now thinking about it, Chaos evolved from Chao and the Ancients evolved into Chao. So in a way we could count Chaos appearances as Chao appearances.
Saw the, "over 45 games" and thought it was an early April fools joke.
Glad to know i was wrong.
Good stuff my guy.
Chao where actually created at the beginning of time
0:00
Yup, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow Chao.
Amy and…Rouge?
Big and Cream!? Oh what cool mods at the end. Wish it was official.
Was really cute how knuckles lifted Cream up
Really love CWE and all the other chao mods! Chao Island staff is amazing
I'm excited to see what happens with the netflix chao title coming out
BABY POWER👶
I do hope they do a remake of the chao garden since their so fun and cute to play
Very nice video m8! Keep up the great work
Thank you!
Great video, but it's criminal that you didn't talk more about Sonic Advance 3. If you have Cream as your partner, each character gets their own Chao with a unique look and attack.
Loved the video, good job choa! 🍻 but best part was to see all the chao members at the end
Thank you! Was great to get your chao in the garden :)
Lfg more Choa talking about Chao lol
i love Chao, been raising them over 21 years, mainly sonic adventure 2, we keep registers of the gardens , the chao, their stats. I love them. I love Nightopians as well, Mario Toads, Lumas, Noki in Mario sunshine, Viva Pinata. We were looking forward to Poglings which look like chao and are similar game wise but we have heard nothing more for a couple of months. still we have our Chao from Game cube, our oldest chao is 8 and we're trying to get him all S stats.
thank you for this video! :)
20:39
There’s another Chao based mode where you try to steal your opponent’s Chao from their base.
22:00 In Sonic Chronicles: The Black Brotherhood, there are 5 secret floors that were events, but only one appeared and the rest were cancelled, but in the Japanese version of Sonic Chronicles, you can get them in Codes, except one because he was crashing the game.
What an amazing history retelling!
Chao Doctor:Looks Like chao is in Pain Dud you Hurt Chao?
Me:
Hope we get more chao related stuff including cream and cheese
I'm pretty sure Cream fights with Cheese in Sonic Battle unless you're not counting that
I believe the group of chao you find in Shadow the Hedgehog is said to be Eggman’s chao garden. I think he tells you that if you go to it with Eggman as your sidekick. Not a stretch since he has another personal garden in SA1
I want a chao game but really hope its not from netflix
16:36
If I recall correctly, it’s Eggman’s Chao Garden.
9:35 makes me wonder if this is how to the chao garden netflix game is going to play out as
Best chaotuber
Chao are so marketable and I honestly don't understand why the Sonic team only puts them in games as an afterthought
this video is how i learned sonic was murdered 😟
I still play Sonic Forces Speed Battle (or Sonic Forces Running Game as it's known now). I go by EdgeyHedgey in that game.
Great Chao content!
31:02
It is Omochao who’s talking. Even then, Sonic Heroes and the Dreamcast Memory Card minigames does establish that they can speak full Human/anthro/mobian sentences. (I will always call the anthro characters Mobians, fight me!)
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about Heroes, beat the Egg Albatross boss as Team Rose.
Cream would ask what’s wrong. And Cheese would exactly respond “It’s Chocola Chao!”.
you can still drown in sonic adventureDX in the mystic ruins garden. theres a small spot in the water where the ground is low enough to have your head under water.
You forgot the find the lost chao missions in SA2/B, tho understandable since the garden is pretty significant
29:20
They aren’t the only ones.
Metal Sonic and Metal Sonic 3.0 also has Chao based moves. These Chao would steal other opponents items. The only thing they can’t steal is any form of boosts unless they are in the trap and projectile slots.
Also, dead? I tend to see players all the time when I play the game. I never have seen bots before aside from Challenger bots.
That Goofy ahh lowpoly Chao got me 😂😂
But did you know in Sonic 06 there‘s a poster with Chao in Space 3 in Crisis City?
Im surprised the phantasy star online ep 1 and 2 didn't get mentioned for the talking chao you can find that gives you the Tails Chao
14:43
Actually, Chocola never appears in Archie. He exists in Archie as he was mentioned twice in both Pre-reboot and post reboot Archie. But never made a physical appearance in the comics until IDW.
The Sonic Generations and the future Sonic Heroes remake will have Chao in them as well
I love these adorable creatures, I would spend hours playing sonic adventure 1 and 2 collecting animals and evolving the chao. Chao are absolutely adorable!!!!
7:24 about that... the Chao Walker exists on the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure 2, as you already had the 4 different characters for each mode
However the Dark Chao Walker was Big the Cat on the Egg Walker in the DC version instead
14:50 also this is the IDW Comics
In Sonic 06 there are also posters for Chao in Space 3, like there are for Chao in Space 2 in Adventure 2 Battle and Chao in Space in Adventure 1
The chao came a long way :0
I'll start playing sonic again when they add chao gardens back into the games
If the Chao Garden game ends up being real, regardless of its exclusivity, I hope it would end up being good.
Not sure if someone has mentioned it already but you can play as Cream in Sonic Battle and she uses Cheese in her attacks.
I legitimately don’t understand why they don’t bring back the choa garden. I’ve always been a virtual pet fan at least. Give us an app or something.
i love raising games
u could use cream and cheese in sonic battle as well. they had some cool fighting moves in the game
Love these little guys.
me too
Sonic speed simulator simulator just added cheese and hes 90%+ your stats and can make it 120%+ stats
HES only here for bit as an event and he isn't gonna come back
I like how the chao looked on Dreamcast, don’t see why they changed it
Omochao was the one talking in Team Sonic Racing
first. chao is the best part of sonic 100 percent
If I remember correctly, I thought there was another 3d chao garden you could play
35:35 Sonic x Shadow Generations be like...
In the first sonic all stars racing there's a race track called chao garden
Cream is playable in battle alongside cheese.
Tails Chao And Cream Chao Are My Favorite Character Chaos
Chao look very watery in heroes
Zero gravity was released in 2008
Whoops, didn't realize it was released January 8th 2008, off by 8 days My bad!
@@Choa also following this, Unleashed also came out for the Wii after the PS3 and 360 and after fans giving it some criticism over the earlier ports, SEGA actually much improved the game. I very dislike the 360 version, but the Wii Version was a lot of fun!
También Cream usa a Cheese para atacar en Sonic Riders y Sonic Riders Zero Gravity
I see you got some sonadow chao lol
Some mistakes in your video are Sonic Adventure releasing December 1998 in Japan. Chao Walker being unlockable on Dreamcast, Big in Eggman's mech would be replaced by Dark Chao Walker in all later ports with both Chao Mechs being available from the start on GameCube. Sonic Advance 2 came out December 2002 in Japan as well. The Chao Eggs in the Sonic Pinball Table can hatch & evolve as part of your gameplay. Adventure DX also got a PC Version which wasn't as good as what was on GameCube. Cream & Cheese appear in Sonic Battle as well.
You forgot Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 which featured Chao as a type of Mag in addition to the famous Tails Chao Mission. Chao also appear in Sonic X with Episode 22 having a hidden Chao Garden.
~31:10 maybe it was like a team rocket meowth type of situation?
