    chaos chao

    Should I stick with only one?

    I am raising a dark chao on Sonic Adventure 2:Battle, and I was wondering, can a chao change physically depending on which one of the three evil people train him? What I’m asking is if a chao raised the same way with Shadow, and a chao raised the same way with Eggman will be different.

    They’d turn out the same. Only the character’s side (Hero or Dark) affects the chao; the specific character doesn’t make a difference in the chao’s physical look. The chao will most likely become somewhat attached to whichever character you use most often, though.

    Confused.

    In Sonic Adventure 1 after you complete the game with a character the Credits are placed, a screen appears and above the screen in Script-like print it says ” fin ” Does that stand for finish?

    It’s French for “end.” –True Red

    Archie

    What is the average amount of pages in 1 Sonic Archie Comic? – Shake

    Currently, 22 pages. 11 for the main Sonic story, 6 for the main Knux story, 5 for any feature character stories (normally a Sonic char) in the three story format. It varies when there are two stories, though the shorter one is normally 5 or 6 pages and the longer one has 16 if there are only two stories. was actually a little longer (and so will ), but after , they’ll probably revert back to 22. –True Red

    Sonic Adventure adaption – “Five will get you ten”

    In the comic book adaption of Sonic Adventure by Archie comics, what did Sonic mean by saying “Here’s hoping five will get you ten”?

    It’s a phrase that basically means “I bet that.” –True Red

    Is Mina Dead???

    Ok, I just wanted to know if Mina the Mongoose dided in Issue 123 because at the end of the story it says “In Memory of Minerva Ifill 1912-2002”.Does that mean shes dead?Because in the story:The last Mobian it shows her in it.And was mina born in 1912 or something?And then died in 2002?Please try to answer my question as it has been bothering me for a long time.

    Read the review for the story. –True Red

    chaos chao

    I have a chaos chao and i was wondering is it possible for me to own more than one chaos chao at a time?

    Yes.

    ~ Crazy C Lea

    Straight things out…

    It’s been a looooooong time ever since I sent you a Q. Anyway in my Q ,dark eyes, that wasnt the awnser I was looking for. I ment why does the Dark Chaos Chao has regular opened eyes like a neutral or hero type? I hope I diddn’t break rule 5 and/or 13 (and sorry about the long post).

    It has those eyes because it’s supposed to – that’s just the way it was designed. There’s nothing more to it than that.

    Dr. Fexus Fan?

    Whats the deal with Dr. Fexus Fan’s replies to questions in the MArch 2003 first page section of the questions and answers. one of the replies was like this: THE TIME IS this thing about a sucking specific hookshot in the gravity pocketknife meant to say the future? I wonder what would happen dating the most shallow-minded Jumpin’ cow zapping Fexus free from a REAL date! suddenly “The Tergonaut Spellbook” can no longer be BLIGABLOU! IT didn’t even answer the kids question about the fastest time on a level.

    FexusFan is an offical mascot of SHQ’s forum. He’s also an ebil gremlin that we let out for some controled chaos, be careful or he may eat you. >;D

    chao garden

    where is the swim garden? when can i get the swam monsters?

    There is no such thing as a swim garden. Swamp Monsters/Kappa/Half-fish are relatively easy to find in Green Forest and Egg Quarters.

    ~ Crazy C Lea

    That name…

    After watching the SatAM tape that I dubbed from BlockBuster (which is how I got to see “Warp Sonic”) I noticed the name “Art Mawhinney” in the credits. I thought he was a member of Archie and not Dic. Is he a member of both?

    He was a storyboard artist for SatAM, and then he moved on to work for Archie.

    Dark Chaos

    I was wondering if it matters who gives the animals to a chao in SA2, to make a dark Chaos Chao. If a good person gave animals to a chao that evolved and is dark, would that stop it from becoming a Dark Chaos Chao?

    First off, if the chao’s already evolved, it doesn’t matter who takes care of it as its alignment is set until it reincarnates. After that point, it can become any other kind of chao of any alignment regardless of what it was on a previous life.
    Care given from a character will change the chao’s alignment to match that of the character used, but only gradually – it would take extended amounts of care to actually affect its alignment. It’s possible to have, for example, a hero-side character give an item to or care for a chao without it going hero so long as the chao receives most of its attention from dark-sided characters.

    wallpaper

    Do I have to email you guys about saving your wallpaper. The ones I liked could not be downloaded. ( Millth Hit, Sonic X.)

    You’re supposed to save the pics. They are not zip files to be downloaded. –True Red

    Help with chao link between gamecube and gba sp

    My son put his brothers chao onto the gamecube and we cannot get it back onto the gameboy advance sp. We keep getting the message “chao already there.” This is a problem in our house. Can you help please. Randi

    Okay, that error means there is already a chao in the GBA. Check the Tiny Chao Garden on the game you wish to load the chao to. If there is another chao, take that one out(using the Transporter in the GCN’s gardens) and move the one you want in the GBA, into the GBA. For more information on errors, and the like, check the Sonic Adventure 2: Battle manual. ^_^

    what happened?

    hi guys, i bought a used sonic adventure cd and when i put it in my dreamcast it couldn’t work. i guess it’s stratched. is there anyway you can fix a stratched cd? thanks.

    You can get CD scratch repair kits at just about any music store, Walmart and elsewhere.

    ~ SA Tails

    Clean up?

    I was looking at your character profiles and I noticed you had a lot of profiles on one character, why don’t you guys just get rid of all the old ones, (xample: Knuckles has three) and make a new one, wouldn’t that save you guys space on ur site??? love ur site!!! Thanx!!!

    The profiles are for each different official Sonic universe. There are currently 8 different official ones (Sega, AoStH, SatAM, Archie, Fleetway, OVA, SU, Sonic X) that’ll all be profiled eventually. The characters do not have the same histories (or necessarily even the same abilities) in one universe as in another. That is why if you search by name without regard for universe, you’ll get more than one profile. This is to make things clearer (particularly for those wanting to learn about a particular universe) as we’re not mixing up different universes so there will always be multiple profiles for characters that are in several different universes. –True Red

    phisical impossibility?

    Okay, I recently got Sonic archie comic . It was cool and all, but somethings messed up here. After Sally drops the gun and she and Sonic kiss and all that stuff, Nack grabs the gun on the floor and (attempts to) shoot her. Wait a sec… Didnt Sal already use all of the ammo from that weapon? She even said that she was outta bullets. What the heck happened? It was empty!!

    J. Axer said on Ken’s MB: “I haven’t yet received issue 123, so I haven’t seen what was actually published. You see, in the original script and boards I drew, Nack DOES reload his gun. In review of the boards prior to being published and released, that panel was removed, and replaced with nothing but black as it was a last minute replacement, so nothing could fill the spot. This should be the black spot to the right of Nack reaching for his gun on the floor, underneath Mina crying her eyes out. This leaves the story with a literal hole that never explains the fact that Nack reloads his gun. The reason for this was that in drawing Nack reloading his gun, it was too realistic along the lines of loading an actual handgun. This cannot be shown in a comic such as Sonic, so it was removed. A sound decision if you really think about it, and I fully understand and support this decision. I was not told, though, and the change is never explained in the book thus leaving the gun to magically be resupplied with bullets. Just figured I would clarify that.”

    tips on making a chaos chao

    im trying to make a chaos chao, and as i read through some of the articles from game faq, one of the article says that to make a chaos chao, the chao has to remain neutral until the final evolution. But if i have a chao that turned into a hero and it reborned as a neutral chao with white color, will that make any difference? Is it necessary for the chao to stay neutral all the way?

    No. A chao can have any alignment during any of its lives and still become a Chaos chao.

    Metal Sonic vs Silver Sonic

    Ok. After reading your previous response and discovering that Metal and Silver Sonic are supposedly two different entities, I headed to the profiles of the characters. I read through them, but I’m still confused. I thought Metal Sonic was the name for the character in Sonic 2 that comes back in Sonic & Knuckles which Knuckles then defeats. Now I see that that was really Silver Sonic. But why would Dr. Eggman build 2 robotic Sonics? I thought they was only one.

    There are three robotic Sonics in the SEGA Sonic version. The original Silver Sonic, which appears in Sonic 2, the Silver Sonic MKII which appears in Sonic and Knuckles, and the Hyper Metal Sonic which appears in Sonic R, Sonic CD, and Sonic Adventure just to name a few.

    To explain Silver Sonic was made in Sonic 2 to be a boss, but being beaten so easily Robotnik redesigned it to the Silver Sonic MKII. It’s believe to be a remake because they both have the same basic moves and attacks. The Hyper Metal Sonic was made to be the ultimate Sonic robot matching speed and strength. – Ron Prower

    what happened to my chaos

    i had two chaos on sonic adventure 2 battle and they’ve disappeared out of my memory card are they lost or are they dead????????????

    Time only passes when you’re actually in the garden, so if they died, you’d have had to have been present when it happened. Most likely, you didn’t save properly. However, if you want to make sure, check the Chao Transporter – go to Move, and you’ll be able to view all your chao in each garden (if they’re in a lesson they’ll have an X over their image). If your chao doesn’t appear on there, it’s gone.

    More Knux scans

    There are a lot of Sonic fans that actually prefer the Knuckles stories (in the comics) to the Sonic ones, and I’m one of them. So why do you only put on your site half the amount of scans each month?

    If you check the archives, the answer is obvious. Two stories versus one. –True Red
