I was waiting to do this after I got A rank on all action stages, but then I kind of stopped trying to do this... 2 years ago.

Yeah. Anyways, I recently allowed my younger sister to play this game since I want her to play SA2 before the movie comes out, but she wanted to play the first game first. I didn't realize that the chao garden is shared throughout all files. This caused me to just do this right away because I'm going to transfer over my own garden on a USB drive so that she can have her own fresh start.

I moved all of my own chao to the other gardens since I didn't want to have them age while I spent all my time focusing on one specific guy. I also thought my chao was dying since I already named it over 2 years ago, so I had no idea how long it lived. I was so relieved that it was just going through evolution.

But yeah, after all that grinding, I'm really tired of Emerald Coast.

I did this all without any glitches. (I tried doing the animal glitch before and gave up). I just gave my chao Chao Fruit. I think it was 2 chao fruits equals 1 level, so maybe it was 116 fruits. And since each one cost 200 rings, it amounts to over 23k rings.

Plus, the time has to feed the chao. I don't count the time it takes for the Black Market shop to reset since I just replayed Emerald Coast. It wasn't until the end that I just waited it out since I was barely at the goal I set.

It was all worth it at the end.

The little guy got first place on every race instantly. I couldn't have been prouder for them. As well as extremely satisfied that my hard work finally paid off.

This medal was well-deserved.
