The '''Chao container'''{{fileref|SonicAdventure2 DC US manual.pdf|page=20}} (チャオコンテナ){{fileref|SonicAdventure2 DC JP manual.pdf|page=24}} is a level object that appears only in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'' and its remake, ''[[Sonic Adventure 2: Battle]]''.

==Overview==
The Chao containers serve as the primary way of accessing the game's [[Chao Garden]]s, although players who have once unlocked the Chao Garden can access it from the Stage Select screen. This replaces ''[[Sonic Adventure]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s method of visiting Chao Gardens in each Adventure Field. Every stage has three Chao containers in it, with the exception of [[Green Hill (Sonic Adventure 2)|Green Hill]], which only has one. Regardless of the order opened, each Chao container contains the following:

*'''First Container''': Chao Key necessary to visit the Chao Garden after the end of the stage.
*'''Second Container''': One copy of all non-rare [[Animals#Sonic Adventure 2 animals|small animals]] found throughout the stage to take to the Chao Garden.
*'''Third Container''': One copy of the stage's designated rare small animal (Legendary category).

It should be noted that if a player dies before opening all three containers, they will only need to open containers they have not already opened to get the contents of the second and third containers; the Chao Key and small animals are both retained even after losing a life. Exiting the level will retain every animal collected, but the Chao Key will be lost.
