The Chao Island Midis

The Chao Island was a Yahoo! Geocities website that talked about how to raise chao in Sonic Adventure 1 & 2.

It not only featured many vivid & animated chao pictures, but featured four different midi files, all of them being related to Sonic Adventure and its chao raising games.

These midi files played in the background using bgsound. Sadly, with the closure of Geocities on October 26th 2009, the website & all of its files were lost forever.

Luckily, by using Archive.org, the website can be explored once again.

sa_dc_32.mid
sa_dc_32.mid is a midi rendition of Theme of Chao from Sonic Adventure 1. It is found on the main homepage (https://web.archive.org/web/20091022073731/http://www.geocities.com:80/ssbmelee14/chaohome2.html).

It was composed by John Weeks, but did NOT originate from VGmusic.com; this midi file actually originated from ESPIOKaos.com, a website that was home to a large number of Sonic-themed midi files.

A shorter, older version, of sa_dc_32.mid, known as saost_acd_28.mid could also be found on ESPIOKaos.com.

A category listing all of the archived ESPIOKaos.com midi files can be found here: https://midis.fandom.com/wiki/Category:ESPIOKaos.com_Midis

However, the website closed in 2008 & lost a majority of its midi files. Sadly, The Chao Island also closed down in late 2009, meaning that this midi file couldn't escape its fate of being lost in time.

The midi file lasts for 4 minutes, 1 second (4:01). The song plays at 125 BPM.

A separate page of this midi file can also be found here!

chaokindergarten.mid
chaokindergarten.mid is a midi rendition of Chao Kindergarten from Sonic Adventure 2. It is found on the Chao Kindergarden page (yes, that is how the page spells it...)

However, this midi no longer exists anywhere on the internet anymore since Yahoo! Geocities closed down and took the website down with itself.

Weirdly, certain midi editing software refuse to play the drums, yet Windows Media Player has no trouble at all.

The midi file lasts for 2 minutes, 38 seconds (2:38). The song plays at 122 BPM.

herorace.mid
herorace.mid is a midi rendition of...well, actually, Dark Race from Sonic Adventure 2's chao race.

It is actually a midi file that the person who created The Chao Island website made. The song's tracks are all titled as "WinJammer Demo" though.

Also, certain midi editing software refuse to play the drums. Once again, Windows Media Player can play the entire midi file without any playback issues.

It is found on the Chao Race page.
