To find the lost chao for each of the characters on each stage, you must first find the power-up "Mystic Melody" for each character. The "Mystic Melody" power-up can be found on one of the many stages that a single character starrs in. It will be found in a secret location. With that, on each level you will find a strange looking podium/table looking thing that is green and blue. If you press "B" next to it, you will play the "Mystic Melody" and will uncover a way to get to the lost chao. Sometimes a wormhole appears, other times a floating platform, or an opening of a door, a secret bounce pad, etc. By the way, sometimes the lost chao is really hard to get to or is at the end of a dangerous route.
