Chao Racing

Chao Races
Chao races are just that, a group of 8 Chao races on one of several different
courses. To entera chao in the races all you do is head to the neutral Chao
Garden and go through the door behind the waterfall. Once there, select
a race category you wish to try (at first, Beginner Races and Party Races are
the only ones open) and select the Chao you wish to race, and the course to race
in

Chao Stamina
Your Chao's Stamina will play a big part in the races, as your Chao runs, it's
Stamina will slowly decrease. If your Stamina runs out, your chao will
severely slow down, so keep your eye on the Stamina meter. Also, during the race,
if you press the L/R trigger it will give your Chao a boost of speed, but will
take up a little extra Stamina. A good technique to use to get the most out of a 
boost is to use your boost while it's in it's strong element (ex., Boost a run chao
while it's running, a Swim Chao while it's swimming).

Toys 
Your Chao can also win toys from races. The toy they win depends on the race the Chao wins. Toys run from the 
Beginner and Jewel Races are kept by the Chao that wins them. The Chao will pull them out when it wants to use 
them. A Chao will lose its personal toys when it dies. Toys won from the Challenge, Hero, and Dark races are
 kept in the Garden and can by used by all the Chao in the garden. The Neutral Garden has the Toys from 
Challenge Races, the Hero garden has toys from Hero Races, and vice-versa for the Dark Garden. Here is a
