Find Chao 4, 5, and 6 in Sonic Advance 3 Zone 7 Act 2. Flight or High Jump recommended for these collectibles.
Walkthrough
- 1Chao #4: From the start, head right and use the speed booster to grind up a rail. Jump left off the ascending rail before its end, guided by three visible rings. Continue left past a hornet (badnik) until the floor slopes into a wall. Run or spin-dash (a special move) up the wall to hit a spring that launches you right. Be cautious of a purple spinner (badnik) in the air and armadillos (badniks) on the ground. Hit the spring against the right wall, which initiates a series of springs sending you upwards. The final spring launches you towards a 5 Ring Item Box on a narrow column. Land on this platform. From here, jump or preferably fly left across a gap to reach the platform where Chao #4 is located.
- 2Chao #5: Jump right from the previous 5 Ring Item Box location onto a rail and grind right. Keep moving right and run off the edge of a hole, landing on a machine. Use this machine to ascend to the level above. Kill the hornet (badnik) and avoid a spike trap. Continue right past a monkey (badnik). You will encounter a section that appears to be a wall but is traversable. Keep going right to find a machine you must push right to ascend. Once up, hit the speed booster to your left and go around the loop-de-loop, up the wall, and through the floor to the next level. Go right over spikes to a suspended platform. Ride this platform, avoiding a hornet (badnik). At the end, jump right, defeating an armadillo (badnik). After a gentle slope, walk through another apparent wall. On the other side, defeat a hornet (badnik) and push another machine right to ascend a left wall. You will reach a higher area with a machine you can push left, though it's not essential; you can proceed right up a curve. Watch out for a spike trap. Above the spike trap is another suspended platform; ignore it and go right. You will see a 10 Ring item box below and to the right. Jump onto a turning wheel platform and run right to ascend. Use another wheel, running right to go higher. Use a third wheel, turning it right to ascend. When it reaches its highest point, a moving platform will appear to your left. Jump onto it, watching for a hornet (badnik). When the platform is farthest left, jump to the ledge on the left. Ascend the left slope, using a spin-dash for speed. You will find a spring that launches you right and then into the air. Land on another wheel and turn it right to ascend. Jump far left to a grassy ledge; flying is recommended to avoid missing it. Chao #5 and a ? Ring item box are located here.
- 3Chao #6: Jump back down to the right, avoiding a monkey (badnik), and find another wheel. Run right to move the wheel right, then watch for a hornet (badnik) on the other side. Hit the speed booster and go right. You will encounter another machine to push right to ascend a left wall. You will be in the air; try to land on the suspended platform.
- 4Crushing Room Chao: After reaching a certain point, you will enter a room with crushing sides from the right and left. The Chao is located slightly to the right within this room. Hurry to collect it before the sides crush you.
