Chao Adventure is a mini-game that can be played on the VMU in Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast. This game is designed to train the player's Chao to become faster and stronger, and it appears when the player transfers a Chao from the Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure to the VMU using the Transporter Machine.
In the game, the Chao goes on an "Adventure Walk" where skills are improved, depending upon the selected course. Along the way, the Chao may find fruit in treasure chests, encounter bullies and meet characters such as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Big, and Gamma.
By connecting two VMU units together, two Chao can breed.

Gameplay is mostly automatic with the player's Chao walking through different stages. Various encounters may happen which will affect the progress of the player's Chao:
The Chao will stop walking, fall asleep, lie on a beach ball, get frightened, or simply trip up. Pressing the A Button will encourage it to keep going.
A message will appear from the Chao which can be read through with the A Button.
When the screen flashes "!?" a bully Chao is encountered. Combat is done with a roulette of six circles, five black and one clear. Pressing the A Button when the roulette lands on the clear circle is a successful hit. Every 200 points of power the Chao has will add an additional clear circle to the roulette.
A chest will be found. The player can choose three possible discoveries to be found in the chest, such as various fruits.
Chao begin their adventure by walking through the Field stage. At the end of a stage, they will find a signpost pointing them in two optional directions they can travel in. The game is complete once five stages have been passed. Unlike most games where the playable character moves from left to right, the Chao constantly moves leftwards along the following map:
In Chao Adventure, the player will be asked several questions by their Chao, one of them being about their gender. The answers that can be given are "A boy!", "A girl!", and "Neither".
