I'm actually really proud to say that I also discovered a few of these tricks just playing as a kid. I played this game religiously.

[@casey6573]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@MitchBurns]

I did also. I know I beat rouge and shadow 2 like that. This was probably my favorite game as a teenager. My best friend even got all 180 emblems. Now that was a real challenge. I didn't have the skill to pull it off, but it was awesome watching my friend do it.

[@FlaskFlash]

I got all the 180 emblems too. This is one of my 5 favourite games of all time, I spent hours, hours, hundred if not at least 1 thousand hours not only playing the game itself but also in the Chao Garden. And yes, it was a real challenge, at least to me it was. I remember perfectly the day I finally got the last emblem, two friends of mine were in my house watching and when I saw that "A Rank"... that was pure magic. Amazing game.

[@MitchBurns]

FlaskFlash I know right? I LOVED this game. I spend tons of time in the various chao gardens as well. I remember trying to breeding invisible chao, translucent chao, and even trying to breed chao with perfect stats. That last one was a lot harder, and I never quite got it.

[@FlaskFlash]

Hahah, I know that feeling! I never got the invisible (not the transparent) Chao, I think you needed one Jewel and those are from the Sonic Advance games from GBA. BUT I got indeed perfect Chaos with all the stats in S, like, a lot. If it wasn't because it's 4:00 AM here I would upload pics directly from the GC (which I need to connect too x'D) Sometimes I think about the possbilities of the Chao Garden in a remake, I mean, just imagine trading with anybody around the world like in Pokémon but with the Chao. Ah...

[@revenevan11]

I honestly enjoyed playing them multiple times and exploring them thoroughly as a kid, but I also have a really happy memory of getting an A rank once on the level where Rouge is looking for the chaos emeralds. I had found the first 2 kinda quickly and had a decent score, and then I accidentally flew right into the third emerald that was floating above one of the fans, meaning that I finished way quicker than I ever had and got my first A rank as a little boy lmao.

[@Squishito]

@@revenevan11 Actually because of the time limit on Security Hall, beating the level without dying basically always gives an A rank. It's one of the free A ranks in the game, there's an Eggman level near the end that also has this quirk because of the sheer amount of enemies it gives you.

this is actually such a really good run, i was only going to watch the shadow 2 fight because i wanted to learn a faster way to beat him for the boss rush mode but i ended up watching the whole way through. learned some new things, and realized that i had already been doing certain strats! overall very clean, everything was executed super well and even the mess-ups are just due to the games buggy nature.
