Choco's Beak Levels
As poor Choco spends most of his time bashing his beak against the ground, it's important for him to get stronger and fitter. The more points you earn as you play Hot & Cold, the higher his Beak Level becomes. Higher levels increase the amount of "damage" he does in each peck, and his colour determines the speed of the dig. In the Forest, Choco digs 5+Beak Level per peck. Forum users have found that the damage is halved in the Lagoon and reduced to a third in the Air Garden.
Choco's experience doesn't quite increase at the same rate as Hot & Cold points; Mene's bonuses for finding Chocographs are not counted, but his four-find double points rewards are. Spending points (on items from Mene) has no effect on Choco's level.
Analysts note, there doesn't seem to be an immediately obvious formula for working out the points requirement for a level. The difference between level 6 and 5 is the same as between 5 and 4, for example.

| 1 | 0 |
| 2 | 6 |

| 5 | 46 |

| 8 | 116 |
| 9 | 146 |
| 10 | 176 |
| 11 | 212 |
| 12 | 254 |
| 13 | 296 |
| 14 | 342 |
| 15 | 392 |
