The entire Chao meta-game please.

Chao Garden would be a minigame, not a metagame, no?

Its... kind of both.

It contains a bunch of minigames, but you unlock more content and such for it by playing the main game.

Interesting perspective...I wouldn't say that Chao Garden is a metagame, but there's a metagame around collecting the animals in levels.

I think I'd still argue that it's still closer to a game/minigame in itself, but there's connectivity between it and the main game.

I think a metagame would be more like once your start getting into "How should I play the main game to get the best animals for my Chao?".

In which case, maybe the original commenter was secretly just asking for all of SA2 to be remade, including Chao Garden! Lol

Was gonna say, I didn't see any of the three chao boxes on that level, though they didn't go out of their way to get them since that wasn't the point of the demo.

But the Chao garden is the reason I occasionally revisit this game.

The Sonic/Shadow levels and the Chao Garden are the only reason this game is remembered well. I hope this remake fixes the terrible sound mixing, boring Tails/Eggman levels and frustrating Knuckles/Rouge levels.

I'm sure the Chao Garden mechanic has been made by someone already, I'll see if I can find anything

The knuckles/rogue levels were a cool concept but the execution was flawed. I enjoyed them for the most part.

The first few levels weren't bad. The later ones were way too big.

Also, they should've allowed you to use the emerald radar for any of the 3 emerald pieces, not just the "current" one. Sonic Adventure 1 did that, and I think that's part of why Knuckles levels didn't have as bad of a reputation in that game.

Agree on both points
