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
  1. 1
    From the start, jump over the bungee instead of hitting it.
  2. 2
    Proceed right to an area with a monkey and a rock. Go right to a water slide.
  3. 3
    Slide 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.
  4. 4
    Continue right, smashing the rock and frog.
  5. 5
    Jump 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.
  6. 6
    Hit 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.
  7. 7
    Hit this spring to go up. Spin-dash right across a bridge and grind a rail.
  8. 8
    After 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.
  9. 9
    Head right, down the slope, and into the red spring at the end.
  10. 10
    This spring sends you into a green bounce, which sends you left to a ledge with a spring. Hit this spring, then the next one.
  11. 11
    Go around a loop-de-loop, cross a small gap, and grab the 10 Ring Item Box. Jump down the small gap.
  12. 12
    You'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.
  13. 13
    When the second platform is far enough right, jump off and go right to a rail. Grind the rail, which will send you left.
  14. 14
    You'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.
  15. 15
    Chao #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.
  16. 16
    Chao #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.
  17. 17
    Speed right, hit a spring, and try to land on the small platform with the checkpoint.
  18. 18
    Walk off the platform to fall onto a moving platform. Jump to the next moving platform to your right, avoiding the hornet.
  19. 19
    Jump onto the platform with the speed booster and hit it to go up the slope.
  20. 20
    Run 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.
  21. 21
    You might hit a wall with three rings. Land on the rail underneath and grind it.
  22. 22
    You will be launched onto a platform. Hit the spring to your right, which sends you up and around a loop-de-loop.
  23. 23
    Keep 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.
  24. 24
    Instead of going up, go down the same wall and head left, then down a different slope.
  25. 25
    Keep 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).
  26. 26
    This 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.
