Game appearances[]

Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut[]

The Mole made its debut in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. In gameplay, Moles can alter the stats, appearance and personality of a Chao. These animals are found inside Badniks. Simply destroy the Badnik to release the Mole inside, and then touch it to pick it up. When released, the Moles have a green sphere around them, which disappears shortly afterwards. They are found in the following Action Stages:

• Final Egg
• Icecap
• Lost World
• Red Mountain
• Windy Valley

Upon entering a Chao Garden with a Mole, it will leave the playable character and run around the garden. The Mole will sparkle if it has not given them to a Chao in the garden. Should the player give a Mole to a Chao, the Chao will embrace it, attaining its appearance and behavior and raising its stats according to the Mole's. The Mole will then lose its sparkle and disappear shortly after.
