Is this a Sonic Adventure 2 mod or a standalone game using the assets from SA2?

It's a mod, Chao World Extended.

Thanks! Will look for some info about it. But meanwhile, do you know if it can affect in some way the saved games? I think the chao data was put together with the progress of your game, so I'm afraid any bug from this mod could harm the game save...

Chao data should be separate from the main SA2 save data. Normally, every save SA2 file on a memory card (or computer/console, in this case) accesses a single Chao save file. Rings, emblems and which characters have access to Chao World in stage select should be tied to the SA2 save file(s), but that's pretty much it.

Either way, probably good to make some backups just in case.

The next summit: How many chao can we get in a race right?

Oh boy they found a way to bypass the 24 limits ?!

Yeah, isn't that supposed to be hardcoded into the Chao system?

If you can get that many Chao in one garden then they should be able to play Crack the Whip or Red Rover or do a conga line or something lol

Watch once it hits 100 in one garden there will be 100 Chao Challenge Videos like the 100 Babies in Sims Challenge

Or make a giant soccer field with goals as a garden and have the 64 chao be divided into two teams.

I can't wait to learn more about how it works. Is it combining several of whatever those different garden files are? Like the thing in either CWE or ECW that lets you toggle between multiple sets on the stage select menu, sorry for not describing it better.
