Part 29

Chao #1: From the start, avoid the hermit crab and jump over a gap with a puffer fish. Swim left to find a room containing the Chao.

Chao #2: Jump down from the Chao #1 room to find a 10 Ring Item box. Use Sonic Tag Action to head right. You will need the extra speed to pass through a wooden bridge floor. Press down shortly after using Tag Action to avoid a puffer fish. If you miss the bridge, use Tag Action again, but be careful not to drown. From here, fly left or use a spring on the right to be sent to the ceiling and then fall under a rail. Go left to find a hole with a spring; jump over this hole to the left to find the Chao.

Chao #3: Jump back over the hole with the spring. You will be below the end of a rail. Use Sonic Tag Action to ascend the rail: position yourself to the right of the rail's end, jump up facing left, and release the R button. At the top of the rail are spikes. Grind left on the rail until you hit the edge of the spikes, which will cause you to grind right again. Jump for a red hoop in the air to the right. This hoop leads to a spring, which sends you through another hoop. While airborne, land on one of the two floating platforms moving left and right. If you miss them, fly up again or head left along the floor to find a blue switch. Activating this switch creates a temporary platform; run right to reach it, which will take you to the floating platforms. To the right of the upper floating platform is a red machine; push it down to be sent upwards through another wooden bridge. Go left and hit the spring on the wall to be launched through a hoop and onto a ledge with the Chao. Collect the Green Shield there as well.

Chao #4: From Chao #3's location, jump down to the right, avoiding a hermit crab. Continue right past a checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death), a loop-de-loop, up a wall, and hit a spring. Run around, including on the ceiling, then go back up and left to hit another spring. Land on the red machine on the right wall and use it to go up through a wooden bridge. You can hit the red hoop if desired, but it leads to more snowmen and spikes. Continue right, jumping gradually upwards. Hit the next spring to land near a checkpoint. Go right, hit the speed booster, go through a loop-de-loop, and grind a rail. (For an Invincibility Item Box, jump through the rail, avoid the penguin, and collect it to the left; a spring to the right will return you, but avoid landing on the penguin's loop-de-loop). Go through another loop-de-loop and slow down. While grinding a rail, jump off as soon as possible and head left to a ledge below and to the left of the rail's start. An Omochao is on this ledge. If you miss it, fly back up. The Omochao will indicate something above. Fly up and left to find the Chao in a small room.

Chao #5: From the beginning, go right a bit to be on top of a wooden bridge with a 5 Ring Item Box. Collect the box, then use Tag Action to go through another wooden bridge, finding a Green Shield. To the right of this bridge is a ramp; run or spin-dash into it as fast as possible. Press A while launching off to hit a hoop. In the air, you will see the Chao below. Return left to get it when you land, avoiding the snowman.

Chao #6: Head left and jump down below where the hoop from Chao #5 is, then continue right. Be cautious of a spike trap after a slight curve. Keep right and jump down into a hole near spikes. You will hit a rail; jump through it without grinding. Head right and stop at a 5 Ring item box; collect it. Beyond the box is a patch of snow that slows you down. Do not jump across it; trudge or spin-dash through it to avoid being frozen and shot upwards by a machine. Against the right wall, just...
