Detailed walkthrough for Part 20 of Sonic Advance 3, guiding you to find all hidden Chao locations with step-by-step instructions and team recommendations.
Walkthrough
- 1From the start, jump over the bungee instead of hitting it.
- 2Proceed right to an area with a monkey and a rock. Go right to a water slide.
- 3Slide down and quickly jump right, hit a pole, then jump off the pole to the right into the upper gap behind the waterfall to find Chao #3. Avoid the lower gap with the 5 Ring Item Box.
- 4Continue right, smashing the rock and frog.
- 5Jump from the end of the platform to a pole, then jump off the pole to the right as soon as possible onto a small ledge with a spring.
- 6Hit the spring to go up through a loop-de-loop. After the checkpoint, quickly jump onto the pole to the right and then off to the right to hit another spring.
- 7Hit this spring to go up. Spin-dash right across a bridge and grind a rail.
- 8After the rail, you'll go up through the floor to a blue and yellow trampoline spring. Jump to reach the high platform, avoiding the hornet.
- 9Head right, down the slope, and into the red spring at the end.
- 10This spring sends you into a green bounce, which sends you left to a ledge with a spring. Hit this spring, then the next one.
- 11Go around a loop-de-loop, cross a small gap, and grab the 10 Ring Item Box. Jump down the small gap.
- 12You'll land on a waterslide and then on a moving platform. Get on the first giant moving platform, then jump to the next one to the right.
- 13When the second platform is far enough right, jump off and go right to a rail. Grind the rail, which will send you left.
- 14You'll hit a green bounce that sends you back up to where a 1-up is. The Chao is across the bridge to the right of the 1-up.
- 15Chao #4: Use Sonic Tag Action from the beginning to go around the first loop-de-loop with enough speed to run up the very high wall. The Chao is at the top.
- 16Chao #5: Jump back down to your left. You will go around the same loop-de-loop again, then down a slope, up a wall, and hit a speed booster.
- 17Speed right, hit a spring, and try to land on the small platform with the checkpoint.
- 18Walk off the platform to fall onto a moving platform. Jump to the next moving platform to your right, avoiding the hornet.
- 19Jump onto the platform with the speed booster and hit it to go up the slope.
- 20Run up the curve and into the air, landing on a short pole with a green bouncy thing below. Jump right off the pole over the bouncy thing as far right as possible.
- 21You might hit a wall with three rings. Land on the rail underneath and grind it.
- 22You will be launched onto a platform. Hit the spring to your right, which sends you up and around a loop-de-loop.
- 23Keep going right, around another loop-de-loop, and up a high wall. At the top, there's a rail and a checkpoint to the right.
- 24Instead of going up, go down the same wall and head left, then down a different slope.
- 25Keep going left, around another loop-de-loop, and hit the spring on the other side. (You can slow down to get the 5 Ring Item Box to the left of this spring if desired).
- 26This time, you will end up going... (The text cuts off here, but the Chao is likely found shortly after this point in the level).
Tips
- Tails/Sonic team is highly recommended for Tag Action High Jump or climbing abilities to reach Chao #4 and #5.
- Cream/Sonic is also a good option if Cream is unlocked.
- Knuckles/Tails can also work, but might be slower or more difficult for certain jumps.
- Chao #3 is easy to miss; having a team that can return to higher areas is beneficial.
- Chao #5 requires precise jumping and timing, especially when navigating moving platforms and speed boosters.
- Be careful not to go under the giant moving platforms, as they can crush you.
- When grinding rails, go with the flow; the bounces will eventually lead you back to the Chao's location.
