BATTLING THE BOSSES

Sometimes a Boss will appear in the Adventure Field after you have successfully cleared an Action Stage. It is necessary for you to locate and defeat the boss in battle to continue to the next stage.

A special feature of SONIC ADVENTURE DX-Directors Cut is the ability for you to raise a unique species of creatures called Chao. A Chao creature is essentially a virtual pet that you first encounter in the form of an egg in the Adventure Field.

A Chao Garden is a protected enemy-free location specifically designed for raising Chao. All prospective parents, be forewarned! How you raise and care for your Chao will determine not only its physical characteristics but also its behavior and personality. For more information about Chao creatures, see p.34.

EMBLEMS

Each time your character successfully clears an Action Stage you will receive a Sonic emblem. As the goal of each Action Stage is comprised of three levels, you can receive a total of 3 Sonic emblems per Action Stage. Additional Sonic emblems can also be found in both the mini-games and scattered about the Adventure Field. The total number of emblems you have collected is displayed in the File Selection Screen.

ACTION STAGES

Each character has a different goal that must be met in order to clear the Action Stages. This goal is displayed at the start of each Action Stage. The goal of each stage is broken into three levels (A, B, and C) so set your sights on clearing all three levels and good luck! For details about Action Stage goals and a diagram of the Action Stage display for each individual character, see the character introductions on p.5.

RINGS & BONUS LIVES

A number of rings can be found in each Action Stage. Your character can survive damage inflicted by an enemy attack as long as they are carrying at least one ring. However, when attacked, they will automatically lose all the rings they were carrying. If attacked when not carrying any rings, your character will lose a life. Whenever your character collects 100 rings, they will receive an extra life. Item boxes containing an extra life can sometimes be found in the Action Stages as well.
