Well, here's hoping you're still active so my advice gets put to good use...

:surprise: 1) This is the most important piece of advice for raising Chao on Dreamcast ever: DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHAO TO THE CHAO DOCTOR AFTER IT HAS REINCARNATED. If you take a Chao that has reincarnated to the Chao Doctor, the text that says how many times the Chao has reincarnated will be bugged out and crash your game (potentially wiping out your save!).

:herosurprise: 2) The animals with the blue/golden backgrounds are the best animals you can get. Unlike every other animal, which decrease certain stats, these animals either raise all/decrease none of your Chao's stats.

:darksurprise: 3) Learn to do the infinite animal glitch. This glitch will cut down the time it takes to raise Chao stats drastically, combine this with Advice #2 to increase your Chao's stats at supersonic speeds

:surprise: 4) The only way to check your Chao's stats and get garden seeds is through the VMU Chao Adventure 2 minigame. Getting the seeds can take a while, so make good use of your time and batteries!

:herosurprise: 5) The Black Market does exist, but it is not like the Black Market from SA2B and beyond. SA2DC's Black Market is only accessible via the game's webpage, and you can only buy different coloured Chao from this version. If you really want, you can get even more special Chao from http://www.dream.slurmking.com/

:darksurprise: 6) If you're really impatient, use Tyro's Chao Editor 2 to manually increase the stats of your Chao. You can get the VMU game file from the XDP Browser's VMU games section, but to get it to actually work, you must also burn Dream Explorer onto a disc and rename the game file in your VMU to SONIC2____VM (4 underscores btw).

:surprise: 7) Hats exist in this game. Firstly, give a Chao a skeleton dog animal, next, use either Knuckles or Rouge to dig into the garden's dirt, after a while a hat will pop up and can be worn by the Chao who was given the skeleton dog.
