In Frog Forest Act 1, Team Chaotix's objective is to collect a specific number of 'Keys' scattered throughout the stage. Begin by using Espio (Speed formation) to quickly traverse the forest floor. You'll encounter various frog enemies; Espio's shuriken attack is effective against them. Look for glowing green keys, which are your primary objective.

Charmy (Fly formation) is crucial for reaching keys located on high branches or floating in the air. Utilize his flight to explore the verticality of the forest. Vector (Power formation) will be needed to break through large wooden logs or stone barriers that might be blocking paths to keys. There are also sections where you'll need to use Vector's powerful attack to activate switches or destroy specific environmental elements. Some keys are hidden behind waterfalls or in small caves, requiring thorough exploration. Once all the required keys are collected, the goal ring will appear.
