About This FAQ ................................................... 0401
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, the first time I saw this game on the store I thought that this
game isn't interesting at all. It looks more childish and may be it is
for kid. But after I bought and played it, I really impressed about the
game. It will be the most enjoyable racing game beside Crash Team
Racing. Since there isn't any detailed FAQ for it on GameFAQs so I
decided to write this FAQ.

This FAQ is based on Joe Van Pelt's FAQ so I give half of the credit
inside here to him. My thx goes to him. Well done Joe, keep up your
good work. This FAQ is based on the US version of Chocobo Racing since
I don't have the Japanese version. For easy searching just highlight
the keyword number on Table of Contents and press Ctrl+F. Please excuse
for my poor English.

In this last update, I'd like to thx to Andrew Wong <curewater@yahoo
com> for sending me lots of corrections and contributions. Also my thx
goes to Rob Ledrich <[email protected]> for more exact time to get 100
points in Story Mode which is taken from his Chocobo Racing FAQ. This
will be the most complete Chocobo Racing that you've ever found on the
net. No more updates will be made towards the FAQ.

V. Introduction ............................................... 0500
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
At last, the King of RPG (Square) has released a racing game, which is
called Chocobo Racing. This game looks like Mario Kart and Crash Team
Racing. Btw, the famous Chocobo has started to make another surprise
for us. This game in my opinion has many interesting features including
secret characters, mirror mode, etc. This game also supports dual shock
controller for more smoothing control.

The graphic in this game is not as good as Crash Team Racing especially
when you read a book in Story Mode. You can even see the "screwed"
white polygon in Floating Garden track. But the FMV is great! The music
is really catchy. Originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the famous
composer behind Final Fantasy series. I really like the ending song,
"Diamonds in My Hearts" sang by Vicki Bell.

Speaking about the sound effect, I think that SquareSoft has done a
good job on this. Sadly that the FMV didn't have the voice actor (like
what SquareSoft usually did on their games). Playing this game will
guarantee you won't be bored for hours especially when you play the
Story Mode and want to unlock the secret characters. You can cast the
curse, thunder, fire, etc on the enemy. Quite fun ...

The storyline is quite remarkable especially when you read the book in
Story Mode. This book will tell you about the story of the magicite
crystal. You are Chocobo, the chickadee who has the Dash stone
(magicite crystal). You with your friends - Mog go on journey to
collect these magicite crystals. Also you will learn the game basics
while playing the Story Mode.

The innovation is great. You can unlock the secret characters by
playing the Story Mode. You can view the movie clip by defeating the
racer. You can collect the music by winning the race. You can also play
in reversed track. If you enjoy playing Crash Team Racing then you
should buy this game. One more thing, this game is easy to complete so
put your GameShark on the shelf ...

Well, here are my ratings for this game:
- Graphic : 8.0/10
- Storyline : 8.5/10
- Music : 9.0/10
- Sound : 8.5/10
- Game Play : 8.5/10
- Innovation : 8.5/10
- Overall : 8.5/10
- Difficulty : Easy
- Buy/Rent : Buy

VII. Menu ....................................................... 0700
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Options .......................................................... 0701
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can change the game settings here. The list of options are:

- View Course : View the best 10 race records from "Time Attack"
Records mode.
- Controller Set-Up : Change the controllers' settings.
- Sound Room : Listen to the music and sound effects.
- Movie : Press left or right to choose a movie from your
collection.
- Sound : Choose to play the game with either stereo or
monaural sound output.
- Handicap P1/P2 : Choosing "ON" increases the abilities of Player
1's or 2's racer.
- Mirror Mode : Reverses how the racetrack looks. But no phantom
racers are allowed!

NOTE: Mirror Mode will be available only if you beat all of the
difficulties on the Grand Prix mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Mode ....................................................... 0702
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to learn the game basics then this mode will teach you. You
will learn the lessons (such as special ability, magic spell, etc)
through out your adventure. Square seems didn't want to miss their
skill (RPG) on this game too so they add this mode. You start with just
Chocobo. You go all the way to collect eight magicite crystals. Btw,
you have to win the race in order to collect the crystal. You get Edit
Parameters each time you beat Story Mode. Edit Parameters allow you to
customize your own character and build them to become a best racer. You
will get hidden characters each time you beat the game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Attack ...................................................... 0703
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Much like Time Trial in Crash Time Racing. You have to race as fast as
you can in order to beat the record. Each time you beat the record you
can enter your name on the top ten list. You can view the record in
View Course Records in Options. However, there is no reward if you beat
the record.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand Prix ....................................................... 0704
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'd love this mode. You race against the computer in four tracks.
Each time you enter the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place you'll get the points. The
character with the highest point will win. You can even see a short
clip on the character each time you beat the game with the character.
You can view their clips on Movie in Options.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
VS Mode .......................................................... 0705
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

One on one racing each other. You can choose to race against player 2,
computer or let computer 1 vs computer 2. Btw, in my opinion Grand Prix
and Relay Race are more fun ... I wish if this mode support multiplayer
but may be it supports multiplayer and I don't know about that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Relay Race ....................................................... 0706
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Much like Grand Prix and VS Mode. The different is in this mode you
choose the team which is consist of three racers. You can choose how
many laps. The 1st racer will race in certain number of laps for eg.
two laps and pass the race to the 2nd racer. The 2nd racer will race in
the next two laps and pass the race to the 3rd racer and so on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Memory Card ...................................................... 0707
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Save and Load game data. Well, in this mode you can save and load how
far you go with the game. You can save and load your hidden character.
You can even save and load your customized racer.

***********************************************************************
WARNING: This section contains some spoilers. Do not proceed if you
don't want the game to be spoiled.
***********************************************************************
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chocobo .......................................................... 0801
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Dash
Bike : Jet-Blades CR
Quote : "Kweh! Kweh!"

You know he is the star of this game. Fearless and innocent makes him
an adorable character. Good acceleration, good speed, but not too easy
to control. Btw, Chocobo is one of the best characters once you learn
how to control him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mog .............................................................. 0802
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Flap
Bike : Mog-Scooter R2
Quote : "Well ...here's the whole lineup of the racers. Remember, you
can choose any one of us. Plus, you get to decide which
Ability you want us to have. If you know what's good for you,
you'll choose me, MOG! So...see you guys on the tracks!"

A friend of Chocobo but with bad attitude i.e. greedy and selfish. His
greedy and selfish makes him do not have anything. Good acceleration,
and seems to have the highest top speed of everyone, but he's difficult
to control.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Golem ............................................................ 0803
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Grip-Up
Bike : Rockin Roller V8
Quote : "Me BIG rock! Very tough!"

He is the huge block of rock (including brains, arms, legs and heads).
He is also the gatekeeper of village gate. He used to be body guard
because of his big body. Slow acceleration, average speed, but very
easy to control.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Goblin ........................................................... 0804
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Mug
Bike : Gob-Cart H4
Quote : "I ain't no THIEF? I'm just 'elping 'umanity ya 'ear!"

The thief known as "Gobin Hood" who steal from rich and give it to the
poor. He hides out in Mythril Mines. Wonder who stole all the "H's"
from his vocabulary?! Best acceleration in the game, but the control on
him is terrible.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Magician ................................................... 0805
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Magic Plus
Bike : MagiCloud MK-1
Quote : "Welcome to my humble home. Please-th come in."

A silent magician which has a castle in "Cursed Forest" which is called
"Black Manor". I heard he also knows Black Magic ... so you better
watch out! His racing skills are average better than White Mage. He
can fly over ice sheet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
White Mage ....................................................... 0806
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Barrier
Bike : Cosmic Carpet
Quote : "Can't we all just get along?"

The cute and sweet mage from Mysidia. She was the person who revealed
the secrets about magicite crystal for the first time. If your party
are tired then you can ask her to cast cure on your party. His racing
skills are average. She can fly over ice sheet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chubby Chocobo ................................................... 0807
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Receive
Bike : Phat-Burner Plus
Quote : "Grrrrr.....I'm hungry!!!"

The fat Chocobo who his job is only eat, eat and eat. All of in his
head are only donuts, peppermint, etc. He even ate magicite crystal.
Greedy isn't it? He has a good grip, great acceleration but low speed.
The best well round character in my opinion. Pick him as soon as you
get him on the Story Mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Behemoth ......................................................... 0808
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Charge
Bike : Behemoth-Buggy 99
Quote : "Foolish one! Dare to challenge ME?!"

The powerful magical monster who was lived in volcano. He used to be a
guard of magicite crystal. His racing skill is the same as Golem but
his acceleration a bit faster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bahamut .......................................................... 0809
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Megaflare
Bike : Dragon Wings
Quote : "Touch me then I flare you!"

The king of Espers lived in Fantasia world. Slow acceleration, but high
top speed and pretty good control once you get him moving. Can fly over
obstacles like ice. To use Bahamut, you must beat Story Mode first.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Squall ........................................................... 0810
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ability : Gunblade
Bike : "The Tempest"
Quote : "Wanna try my Gunblade?!"

Our hero from Final Fantasy VIII also takes the challenge of the race.
Good acceleration, good turning, good everything except for his tires.
He slips and slides on turns a lot. This can be used to your advantage.
To use Squall, you must beat Story Mode a second time.
_______________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________
IX. Special Ability ............................................ 0900
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you're too lazy to learn it from Story Mode then I'll give you my
summary about the special ability. I found out that we will use the
Dash ability on most of the track. The special ability needs time to
charge and recharge. Each special ability needs different time to
charge and recharge. You can see the gauge in the upper left corner.
Once the gauge is full then you can use it. We can use only one special
ability through out the race.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dash ............................................................. 0901
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It speeds you up for a short time. Well, this ability actually very
useful on easy track with a little turn. But it'll become a nightmare
on hard track with many hard turns since it cause you bump out of
control. However it works the same as Haste3.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flap ............................................................. 0902
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It lets you fly over bad terrain. This ability is useless for mages.
It'll only speed you up a little. Btw, for those who always stuck
because of ice sheet can try this ability. But I prefer to choose Mages
in order to avoid ice sheet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mug .............................................................. 0903
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It steals a rival's magic stone. If you want to steal your opponents
magic stone then use this ability. This ability is useful in order to
collect the magic stone and miss your opponents chance to use the magic
stones.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Barrier .......................................................... 0904
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It protects you from attacks. You get a shield that lasts until you are
attacked. This ability especially useful in Grand Prix, where you get
attacked almost all the time by other opponents.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Magic Plus ....................................................... 0905
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It increases your magic stone's power. This ability is recommended to
use better than Megaflare ability. If you get Ultima, you can level it
up and use on your opponents which is the damage the same as Megaflare.
This ability is need shorter time than Megaflare to charge.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grip-Up .......................................................... 0906
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It makes your vehicle handle better. If you tired of bumping on the
wall. I recommend you to use this ability. This ability is very useful
on track with many hard turns. Once you use this ability, you don't get
to worry on loosing your speed when you bump on the wall.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Charge ........................................................... 0907
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It accelerates to attack opponents. Short burst of speed, you can wreck
an opponent by hitting them while this is activated. It builds really
fast, too. You get more overall speed with this than with the Dash
ability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Receive .......................................................... 0908
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It gets any magic stones used on you ! When you get hit by any magic,
then you gain one of the spell that you were hit by. Useful in GP
races, since you'll be getting a powerful spell every few seconds
because of the constant barrage of attacks in that mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaflare ........................................................ 0909
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It rains fireball on all your foes. It builds very slowly. Then when
it's full, it's a level 3 magic hit on every opponent. However it works
the same as Ultima3.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gunblade ......................................................... 0910
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It speeds you up until you take a lead! When you used it, you'll get a
burst of speed (about 180 kph). Each time you pass your opponents, your
gunblade will slash on them which makes them crash.

There are some conditions in which this ability will disappear:
- If someone has it and is hit by the Flare.
- If you get hit while using it and someone passes you.
- If you're in first place after 5 seconds.

X. Magic Spell ................................................ 1000
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you're too lazy to learn it from Story Mode then I'll give you my
summary about the magic spell. You can level up your magic spell by
getting the same magic stone. The higher the magic level then the
higher the magic effect. You can steal your opponent's magic by bumping
right on his magic stone. The maximum number of the magic stone or
magic level that you can hold is 3. You can't pick any magic stones
once you've reached the limit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
? ................................................................ 1001
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

? - it could be any stones which is chosen randomly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Haste ............................................................ 1002
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Haste1 - makes you go faster.
Haste2, Haste3 - to do an even longer "Dash".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fire ............................................................. 1003
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire - shoot fire aim one in front of you to make go crash.
Fira - auto aim one in front of you must go crash. It seems
to stop after one or two turns. Afterwards it just
crashes into the side of the track if it doesn't hit
anything. (Thx to Andrew Wong <[email protected]>)
Firaga - makes everyone in front of you go crash. It works the
same as Fira only it lasts a little longer ... (Thx to
Andrew Wong <[email protected]>)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ice .............................................................. 1004
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Blizzard - places a sheet of ice on the course that makes whoever
runs over it spin out of control.
Blizzara - makes lots and lots of ice for others to spin out on.
Six ice sheets, to be exact. (Thx to Andrew Wong
<[email protected]>)
Blizzaga - freezes all your foes in ice and makes them crash.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thunderbolts ..................................................... 1005
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thunder - makes the chap in front of you and crash.
Thundara - strike the chap in front of you with three lightning
bolts and cause them to crash.
Thundaga - causes averybody else to be zappped by lightning and
crash.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimize ......................................................... 1006
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mog loose to Chocobo and said that it's unfair since his bike is slower
than Chocobo's bike. Cid told him that it's because of the blue crystal
in Chocobo's ring which has "Dash" ability. Cid found it when Chocobo
was still a little chickadee. Then Chocobo and Mog start their journey
to find out that secret.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 03: A Life in Ruins! ..................................... 1103
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chocobo and Mog reached the village gate. Suddenly Golem appears and
said that he was a gatekeeper and told them that they have to beat him

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 04: The Pleasure is Mine! ................................ 1104
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

They soon moseyed onto an old abandoned mine, it sure was one lonesome-
looking place called "Mythrial Mountain". People used to mine along of
metal called "Mythrial" but since the Mythrial supply ran out, they
gave up digging. When they go through the mines to get to the other
side of the mountain, Mog was captured by Goblin. Goblin asked for some
pence. They saw the blue crystal on Goblin's earrings and they
challenge Goblin to get it.

Suggested Player - Golem

After beating Goblin, Mog found a letter which simply tell us that
Goblin is a Gobin Hood who steals from the rich and give it to the

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 05: Mind Your Manor! ..................................... 1105
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

With Goblin as a guide, Chocobo and friends came to spooky - looking
forest that was called "Cursed Forest". Goblin said that alot of
people who came to this place has disappeared without trace. In this
forest there is "Black Manor" castle. Goblin said that no one who
enters there ever came back alive. Then they enter the castle. Suddenly
the door opened. Chocobo was going to investigate it followed by Goblin
and Golem. Mog was get scared too and followed them too.

Suggested Player - Golem

Gained Player - Black Magician

They captured Black Magician who can't speak. Black Magician also had
blue crystal too. Chocobo said that he would take Black Magician with
them. Black Mage said thank you by using his own way (since he can't
speak).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 06: Crystal Clear! ....................................... 1106
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chocobo and friends were getting kinda tired from all the travelling
they'd done so far. Their new buddy, Black Magician, silently led them
to the village of mages and magicians - "Mysidia". As they entered the
village, they saw White Mage and asked her to cast "Cure" to them.
White Mage had blue crystal too and she called it "Magicite". White
Mage said that she'll tell the story of magicite if they win the race.

Suggested Player - Golem
Suggested Ability - Dash
Gained Player - White Mage

Then White Mage revealed the story. There are magicite shards scattered
all over the world. It used to be one large magicite crystal but people
kept fighting each other over it. So the founder of Mysidia, the great
magician Ming-Wu broke the crystal into eight pieces. He then scattered
the shards to the four winds. White Mage said that she has to join
them because she has to take responsibility for telling them the
story.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 07: Maybe it's something I ate ........................... 1107
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Having known the secrets of magicite crystal, they continue their
journey to collect the rest of them. Chocobo and friends are tired and
hungry. Then their heard stomach grumbling. It's Chubby's stomach
voice. Chubby asked for food but Chocobo and friends didn't have it.
Chubby even ate magicite crystal that was now in his stomach. They
challenge Chubby to get it if they win. If they loose, Chubby can eat
all of them. Scary isn't it?

Suggested Player - Golem
Suggested Ability - Dash
Gained Player - Chubby Chocobo

Chubby said that his stomach has been acting up a little so it won't
come out for a while. Waiting for the magicite crystal to come out,
Chocobo and friends decided to take Chubby with them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 08: Won't you be my lava! ................................ 1108
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Accompanied by Chubby, our company came across a creepy, crawly cavern.
On the other side was a desolate wasteland - the likes of which they'd
never seen before. Chubby said that there was magicite crystal in this
place - Vulcan-O Valley. There's also a mighty magical monster living
here. Suddenly, they heard a voice. It's Behemoth. He's also had
magicite crystal. They challenge him to get it.

Suggested Player - Chubby Chocobo
Suggested Ability - Dash
Gained Player - Behemoth

After beating Behemoth, all of the magicite crystal has been gathered
together. Every characters saw their magicite crystals and realized
that their magicite crystals were starting to glow ...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 09: Final Fantasia ....................................... 1109
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Their crystals are starting to glow. Well, actually Mog had magicite
crystal too and his crystal is starting to glow too. Black Magician
suddenly can speak and said that the gate to "Fantasia" will open soon.
Then you'll see a cool FMV which show you how Fantasia portal opened.
Suddenly there's voice, which said, "Welcome to Fantasia - The realm of
the Espers". Well, this was actually the voice of Bahamut, the King of
Espers - the legendary "Beasts of Illusion". He said that he would give
the final test (of course racing).

Suggested Player - Chubby Chocobo
Suggested Ability - Magic Plus
Gained Player - Bahamut

After passing the final test, Bahamut told them about the rest story.
Split into eight fragments because the great magician Ming-Wu saw that
it was the cause of much warfare. Fearfull of that Bahamut and Ming-Wu
chose to break the crystal into pieces and scatter them through out
your world. From now on their world and Final Fantasia open together so
they can watch each other. After that Bahamut disappear. All of the
character had happy ending. Btw, only Mog didn't get the happy ending
since he thinks that he can sold the magicite crystal for some pence.

Well, that's the end of Story Mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 10: F.F.VIII Circuit ..................................... 1110
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said in above that "that's the end of Story Mode", well that's not
actually end if you beat the game for the second time. After you
customized your racer in Edit Parameters, the screen will display
"WARNING" message with Squall is standing back.

Suggested Player - Chubby Chocobo
Suggested Ability - Grip-Up
Gained Player - Squall

As a note, the racer, which you customized has been chosen to race on
this track so be careful on customizing the racer. Another note, don't
return to Select Mode until you've beaten Squall. Because if you do,
you have to beat the Story Mode once again just to defeat Squall.

As we see the place, we can know whom the hell the character behind it.

prepare your character with a great grip. Gingerbread Land is one of
the longest courses.

will be able to go past others but you have to be fast enough to move

A character with great grip is a must in this course. There's a

Haste stone only when you're in the tunnel. When you get Ultima stone,
charge it up using your Magic Plus then use it to zap the opponents.

I found it by accident (by falling off) ... its by the "sharpest

XIV. Secrets .................................................... 1400

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden Characters & Tracks ....................................... 1401
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each time you complete the Story Mode you've got new character and
track. There are ten hidden characters and two hidden tracks. These
hidden characters apply on all of mode except for Story Mode. But these
hidden tracks apply on all of mode.

Here are the list of the characters with how many times you've to
complete the Story Mode:

Bahamut - one time.
Squall - two times.
Cid's Tank - three times. Highlight Squall, hold L1.
Mumba - four times. Highlight Squall, hold L2.
Cloud - five times. Highlight Squall, hold R1.
Cactuar - six times. Highlight Squall, hold R2.
Aya - seven times. Highlight Squall, hold L1+L2.
Classic Chocobo - eight times. Highlight Squall, hold R1+R2.
SS Invincible - nine times. Highlight Squall, hold L1+R1.
Jack - ten times. Highlight Squall, hold L2+R2.

Here are the list of the tracks with how many times you've to complete
the Story Mode:

Fantasia - one time.
F.F.VIII Circuit - two times.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Grand Prix Secrets ............................................... 1402
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Complete Story Mode twice. Now, you should have "Fantasia" and
"F.F.VIII Circuit" track along with Bahamut and Squall. You should have
customized your racer in "Edit Parameters". Btw I suggest that you
choose to customize Chubby Chocobo. Don't use the point too much in
acceleration and drift if your point hasn't reached 100.

Now, choose One Player and choose Slotx (x indicate 1 or 2). Select
Chubby on the list. Now, select 4 tracks on your own. Each time you
finish 1st on 8 tracks excluding F.F.VIII Circuit and Fantasia, you've
got a new classes. Here they are:

Chocobo Class - beginner difficulty.
Behemoth Class - intermediate difficulty.
Bahamut Class - advance difficulty.

The higher difficulties cause your cart to go faster. (Thx to
Andrew Wong <[email protected]>) After you finish 1st on 8 tracks
excluding F.F.VIII Circuit and Fantasia in Bahamut class, you've got
Mirror Mode on Options.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound Room Secrets ............................................... 1403
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each time you gained a new music or sound, you can hear it on Sound
Room in the Options. The easiest way to collect the music or sound is
on Story Mode.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Movie Secrets .................................................... 1404
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each time you gained a new FMV or clip, you can see it on Movie in the
Options. You have to collect FMV on Story Mode to get "Ending" and
"Fantasia" FMV. Beat Grand Prix with every character to get their
winning clip except for hidden and customized racer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Get 100 Points on Story Mode ..................................... 1405
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, at last I knew the way to get the points in Story Mode. That is
on our time, which we spend to complete the Story Mode. In order to get
100 points you should beat the time, which is listed below:

Cid's Test Track - 01:16
Moogle Forest - 01:19
The Ancient Gate - 01:28
Mythril Mines - 01:30
The Black Manor - 02:00
Floating Gardens - 02:05
Gingerbread Land - 02:40
Vulcan-O Valley - 02:50
Fantasia - 03:15

I've found the more exact time from Rob Ledrich' FAQ. (Credit goes to
Rob Ledrich <[email protected]>). The hardest time to get here is in
Fantasia track since if you fall off two times then you'll be likely
fail to achieve that time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellanous Secrets ............................................. 1406
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

a. In certain track there is a shortcut so be sure to use it in order
to save your time.

b. When you see something jump from the right to left of you that means
that one of the racer is using their Mug ability so use your magic
stone quickly before they get it.

c. Every racer has their own advantage to use on different track so be
sure to choose the right racer on the right track.

d. The computer WILL let you cast level 3 spells ... it's just that if
that %#^$@ Goblin is racing, he is just very likely to use Mug and
steal it away. But you should not worry if he's not racing ... (Thx
to Andrew Wong <[email protected]>)

e. If you take the lead, don't grab Fire stone since it will only hit
the enemy in front of you not behind you. As of Thunderbolts and
Curse stones will hit the second-place target instead. That means
you're twice as likely to get hit when you're in second, which is a
bad position ... (Thx to Andrew Wong <[email protected]>)

f. If you get Haste stone which cast Haste you should use it instead of
waiting for levelling it up since the time of using Haste three
times is better than level 3 Haste.

g. Pressing brakes in this game is not prohibitable so be sure to use
it on the track with many hard turns. It is also practically
necessary to control the SS Invincible, even on the Cid's Test
Track! (Thx to Andrew Wong <[email protected]>)

h. Before the start of the race hold up + square, you'll speed past the
other racers. I prefer pressing X right when the race starts, but
it's your own preference ... (Thx to Andrew Wong <curewater@
yahoo.com>)

i. When you spin out quickly press square which will give you a boost,
yet it is a random move, you can go backwards. (Thx to K00LGuy415
@aol.com)

j. To make somewhat sharp turns, hit the brake button once and turn
while keeping the gas held down. For very sharp turns, tap the brake
button two or three times and you'll turn very quickly.

k. If you have a Dual Shock pad, use the analog controllers. They're
really much better than the normal controller.

l. In Story Mode, your object is to beat the "gained player". So
eventhough you are on 3rd position but if the "gained player"
position is below you (for eg. 4th, 5th and so on), you'll win.

m. Turning on the P1 Handicap or P2 Handicap (in the Options) will make
the racer moves considerably faster. (Thx to Andrew Wong <curewater@
yahoo.com>)

Well, that's all folks ...
