Click read more to see the answer Answer: 281 times, think thats a new record for me lol
@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
@@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.
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.❤❤❤❤
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)
YES I was waiting for him to mention that bit in advance 3! It may seem like just a kind of cool visual treat, getting the sonic, tails, knuckles, and amy chao rendered as tiny gba sprites, but as a kid this was just the coolest thing in the world to me and most of my time spent playing SA3 was just so I could pair up different characters with cream
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.......)
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
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
@@OrgnlProductions Genuinely don’t know. It’s been obvious since 1999, the game all but spells it out. But it’s been confirmed in supplemental material multiple times since.
@@OrgnlProductions Frontiers just straight up shows their evolution, but he’s always been a mutated chao. In fact in the Japanese Adventure (but I don’t think DX, just the original) when Chaos first appears he even makes the Chao noises, and I think he does during the attack on the island by the echidnas as well, but don’t quote me on that part.
Yes, in Team Sonic Racing, Omochao is the one who’s talking. One line he even says if the Chao are hit by Metal Sonic is “Metal Sonic, we’re both robots”.
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.
Seeing the little easter eggs in these videos reminds me of when I played through the different sonic games, then just being let down when I realized there wasn't a Chao garden 😅
I was obsessed with chao for a short while when playing mario and sonic winter olympic games on the DS. It had a story mode where you travel to different areas and rescue chao and toads from the 'bad' characters. I cut paper to the size of cards and drew chao on them making my own chao trading cards.
I liked the use of chao as equitable items in Sonic Chronicle. I felt a little bad because I would always equip Cream with Fenox rather than Cheese. Fenox made her special moves automatically succeed. So giving that to your white mage seemed like the best idea. I just wish the comics did more with chao. Both Archie and IDW lightly touched on them, but I want more. I want to see side stories of our heroes playing with their chao or just hanging out with their chao doing stuff in the background. I loved seeing fanart of say, Sonic and Shadow watching TV while the Sonic-chao has his face buried in the popcorn bowl. Maybe even have the chao mechs be some secret power the chao possess. Like they have the power to summon nearby scrap from all of Robotnik's ruined machines and reform it into their battle walkers. If the artist got creative, maybe each walker would mirror the chao's head that made it. I just feel like there is so much untapped potential for the chao in stories.
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
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.
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!
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.
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!!!!
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!
Sonic Adventure 2 battle was soooo good. It is to the day my favorite Sonic game ever and i easily spent the most time in that game in the Chao Garden. Sega could straight up just make a Chao Garden game and i bet it would make BANK.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!”.
It's a shame that out of all the games that have released, Nintendo hasn't thought to make one solely based on raising Chao. The Chao gardens ended up being the main reason I played sonic adventure 2 n also the reason I put all the hours into that game
You missed something important. With Phantasy Star Universe, there was a tie in event with Sonic adventure 2 battle where you could get a special Chao only by doing the mission, using your gameboy, and moving it over.
The chao vnu thingy is a good concept. It would be so much cooler if it was in 2025 because it could be 3d or something and yeah. But even back then its cool
Tiny chao garden is possibly the best complement to SA2B chao garden :P And honestly while the game doesn’t have any “adventure” mode, it’s still much better looking and more interactive than tiny adventure. I only could play the game by temporarily downloading the game to my GBASP, so I never could take my chao on the go :( I really hope if Sega does make some sort of chao garden in the next game, that they have a tiny chao garden app for mobile devices. There’s lots of potential for them to make a next generation chao garden be even better than heavily modded SA2B, they could even hire the chao garden extended/expansion mods that added a bunch of extra emotions, interactions, and other things. Like, maybe they could add new chao gardens that are about the individual stats, but still have the regular Normal, hero, and dark gardens.
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.
I have been thinking about this for along time but I feel like Sega is sleeping the potential of a Chao Garden smart phone game. It would be really awesome if they could connect with players who have online accounts with companies like Nintendo, Playstation, Apple, Sega, Steam, etc. And if you have save files with any other accounts, they could unlock things in the garden and rewarding sonic fans who have purchased/played a lot of sonic. Obviously, you wouldn't want CORE aspects behind purchases or paywalls. But they could have lots of free, paid and game purchases to unlock new cosmetics/traits for chaos. They could also have micro transactions and have updates with new mini games. The game writes itself and prints money.
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!

Chao are the best

Speed battle isn't dead. it's still getting updates, and every day I play it, there's at least 2 real humans playing
About Team Sonic Racing... that is definitely meant to be Omochao speaking, there's a distinct robotic-sounding filter to those voice lines.

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

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!
28:07 I like the idea that Chao evolved to be as cute as possible just so other species can take care of them.
Similar to a lot of panda species in real life
A bit like cats

@@SoldarakuPretty sure it is in the game, they just zoomed in the image.

So THAT is where the giant chao from the credits of the sonic 3 movie came from! Nice reference @4:12 .
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.
Sonic team is missing out on not having a Chao game. It's clear we want to raise our Chao again .
4:50
"improved races"
.......OH! The OTHER kind of race. I was very confused for a second.
I mean, Chao have a LOT of races based on Colour/Jewel/Shiny phenotypes.
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.

Pure excitement the moment this popped up on my feed :D so excited for more content like this

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
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.
What an amazing history retelling!
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
Btw this was such an entertaining video bro!!!
A half hour Choa video? What a treat!
What about Frontiers? Though that game didn't feature Chao, the game's plot contained some major implications for the Chao.
27:51 She's probably wants to WHAT?
PSO on Dreamcast, Gamecube and Xbox also have a Chao Mag.
You're the best Choa, loved this video reminded of great times
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 :)
I'm pretty sure Cream fights with Cheese in Sonic Battle unless you're not counting that

Those Chao-like creatures from Fantasy Star Universe look like a cross between Chao and Huggy Wuggy from Poppy Playtime.

There’s another Chao based mode where you try to steal your opponent’s Chao from their base.
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.

And honestly while the game doesn’t have any “adventure” mode, it’s still much better looking and more interactive than tiny adventure. I only could play the game by temporarily downloading the game to my GBASP, so I never could take my chao on the go :(
I really hope if Sega does make some sort of chao garden in the next game, that they have a tiny chao garden app for mobile devices. There’s lots of potential for them to make a next generation chao garden be even better than heavily modded SA2B, they could even hire the chao garden extended/expansion mods that added a bunch of extra emotions, interactions, and other things.
Like, maybe they could add new chao gardens that are about the individual stats, but still have the regular Normal, hero, and dark gardens.
Sonic battle shows cheese creams friend while she battles
this video is how i learned sonic was murdered 😟
Omochao was the one talking in Team Sonic Racing
Chao Doctor:Looks Like chao is in Pain Dud you Hurt Chao?
Me:
Chao are so marketable and I honestly don't understand why the Sonic team only puts them in games as an afterthought
About sonic battle. Cream the rabbit is in the game and I think she might be playable or at least you get an emerl skill related to her.
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.
I have been thinking about this for along time but I feel like Sega is sleeping the potential of a Chao Garden smart phone game.
It would be really awesome if they could connect with players who have online accounts with companies like Nintendo, Playstation, Apple, Sega, Steam, etc.
And if you have save files with any other accounts, they could unlock things in the garden and rewarding sonic fans who have purchased/played a lot of sonic.
Obviously, you wouldn't want CORE aspects behind purchases or paywalls.
But they could have lots of free, paid and game purchases to unlock new cosmetics/traits for chaos.
They could also have micro transactions and have updates with new mini games.
The game writes itself and prints money.
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
