BATTLING THE BOSSES Sometimes a "Boss" will appear in the Adventure Field after you have successfully cleared an Action Stage. It is necessary for you to locate and defeat the boss in battle to continue to the next stage. The battle starts as soon as the boss's name and life gauge appear on the screen.

Once the boss's life gauge reaches zero, victory is yours and the battle ends. 24 25 99555 Aslan (DX GC Manual ) 5/13/03 4:07 PM Page 26 CHAO A special feature of SONIC ADVENTURE DX-Director's CutTM is the ability for you to raise a unique species of creatures called "Chao. " A Chao creature is essentially a "virtual pet" that you first encounter in the form of an egg in the Adventure Field. If you discover an egg, take it to a Chao Garden, hatch the egg and raise your chao creature. You will find one "Chao Garden" in each area of the Adventure Field. A Chao Garden is a protected enemy-free location specifically designed for raising Chao. How you raise and care for your Chao will determine not only its physical characteristics but also its behavior and personality. For more information about Chao creatures, see p. 34. EMBLEMS Each time your character successfully clears an Action Stage you will receive a Sonic emblem. As the "goal" of each Action Stage is comprised of three levels, you can receive a total of 3 Sonic emblems per Action Stage. Additional Sonic emblems can also be found in both the mini-games and scattered about the Adventure Field. The total number of emblems you have collected is displayed in the File Selection Screen. GAME OVER & CONTINUE Your character will lose one life if they sustain damage while not carrying any rings. Your character can also lose a life, even when carrying rings, if they fall off the Action Stage course or a cliff in the Adventure Field. The "Game Over" Screen appears when the number of "extra lives" your character has reaches zero and they lose their last life.
