help Chocobo Racing FAQ
Which Final Fantasy characters are playable in Chocobo Racing?
The 1999 PlayStation racer from Squaresoft stars the Chocobo along with Moogle, White Mage, Black Mage, and other series staples. Secret unlockable characters include Final Fantasy VII's Cloud and Squall from Final Fantasy VIII.
How does the magic system work in Chocobo Racing?
Instead of typical kart items, you collect Magicite stones that grant spells like Fire, Ice, and Haste. Picking up additional Magicite of the same type powers the spell up to a stronger version, adding a layer of strategy over pure item luck.
Did Chocobo Racing ever get a sequel or remake?
A sequel called Chocobo Racing 3D was announced for the Nintendo 3DS but was cancelled before release. Square Enix eventually revived the concept with Chocobo GP, which launched on Nintendo Switch in 2022.
How does Chocobo Racing compare to Crash Team Racing?
Both are 1999 kart racers chasing the Mario Kart formula, but Crash Team Racing, developed by Naughty Dog, is widely considered the tighter racer with better drifting mechanics and more content. Chocobo Racing trades polish for Final Fantasy fan service, with the Magicite system and crossover roster being its main draw.
