Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)/Chao World

This is a sub-page of Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast).

To do: This page is bare bones compared to what's known to be in there - Unused Toys, Animations etc.

Unobtainable Chao

While the game contains 20 unique types of Chao, only 10 (including downloadable Chao) can be obtained normally. Most of the unobtainable breeds are normally only ever seen in certain Chao Races, but can be seen in the Garden through cheats.

• 

  Kid Troops Chao Rangers

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

  Egg Chao

• 

  Omochao

• 

  Small Animal (12)

Two breeds of Chao go unused altogether, with no way of seeing nor obtaining them normally:

• 

  Unused Chao #1

• 

  Unused Chao #2

These are actually part of a group of three along with the Moon Chao. However, the Moon Chao wouldn't be rendered fully unobtainable (as it was available via download) until Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

Kindergarten

The Chao Kindergarten was once planned to work very differently to the way it works in the final game, including having more online features and rooms that were ultimately left unused.

Black Market

It appears that the Black Market was originally going to be part of the game like in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, as opposed to a feature in the official website.

Playground

This picture is mounted up on the wall inside the Chao Kindergarten, showing a playground that was supposed to be included in the Kindergarten. This picture was removed in the GameCube version.

Textures extracted from within the game seem to match up with the picture from the Kindergarten, hinting that this may have been intended to be a playable area.

Geometry discovered in the PC version. This shot shows what the area looks like when the extracted textures are applied to this geometry.

Library

There was, at one point, going to be a Library. Its texture's file name is AL_STG_KINDER_PL_TEX.PRS, which may mean that you were able to access it from the Kindergarten.

In the Library, you would have been able to download or create new stories for Chao Adventure 2. While this was never fully implemented, Chao Adventure 2 still has the modular design needed to support multiple stories. The disc has one file (OSAMPO2S) representing a blank Chao Adventure 2 VMU program with no Chao or stories loaded, which is combined with the Chao data and story files. It's possible to run the blank program on a VMU without crashing, and it displays a message that no Chao is available. The disc has 10 story files, with two files for each language.

This is the library.

There are many kinds of books here.

Use Up/Down to zoom and R/L to change viewpoint.

Use the analogue thumb pad to get back to player's view point while the camera is on Chao.

Audio

There are a lot of unused audio files related to Chao and the Kindergarten. Several were used in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, but some are unused in all versions of the game.

For numerous unused Omochao voice clips related to Chao content, see here.

Audio	Notes
	Unused Kindergarten music found in CHAO_K_M2.ADX. A downsampled version is used for the radio, found in CHAO_G_RADICASE1.ADX.
	Presumably for connecting. This is a shortened version of the above song.
	Successful connection. Used in SA2B for leveling up.
	Failed connection.
	A jingle for unlocking a new garden. Since the other gardens are unlocked at the same time other jingles play (CHAO_G_BORN_D.ADX and CHAO_G_BORN_H.ADX), this isn't used.
	Shorter version of the above.
	An unused duplicate of CHAO_R_GATE_OPEN.ADX, the sound for starting a race.
	Kindergarten singing sounds. SA2B uses these for the classroom, but they go unused in the original game since its classroom just uses the regular Kindergarten music.
