The story starts with a simple Moogle accidentally getting possessed and becoming a superhero-like driver named Racing Hero X, an apparent reference to Speed Racer. The story is essentially a Saturday morning cartoon featuring characters from Final Fantasy (think Wacky Races, for the classic cartoon fans out there). What I actually enjoyed here is the game’s short story mode, which is an absolutely wild experience for franchise fans. It’s ultimately a bit shallow, though it has its moments of hectic fun. The racing isn’t the main attraction here, though. That’s one feature I’d actually love to see in Mario Kart 9. Hold on to your boost magicite and you might get a much bigger burst of speed if you get another. If they get two or three of the same spell, they’ll combine for larger effects. The twist is that players can hold three spells at a time. One lets players shoot a fireball ahead of them, while another sends a grim reaper to the driver in first place (it’s basically a blue shell, but players can avoid it by mashing the right bumper). When players hit a box, they pick up magicite spells.
The one standout aspect is how the item system works. Like Mario Kart, players drift to get speed boosts, collect crystals (a stand-in for coins), and snag items that can be used to torture unsuspecting drivers. Races are short, usually clocking in around three minutes or less. Each has their own simple stats, karts, and a special ability.
Players pick from a cast of racers pulled from the Final Fantasy series. Ready, set, kupo!Ĭhocobo GP is a fairly standard Mario Kart clone, with a few twists. While it’s not the most sophisticated deep racer out there, it makes up for that with a completely wacky sense of humor that will get some smiles out of Final Fantasy historians. “Absurd” is actually a pretty good word to describe Chocobo GP. It’s finally been revived on the Switch, with Square Enix perhaps trying to capitalize on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe‘s absurd sales. While the game was supposed to get a sequel for the Nintendo 3DS, the project was quietly canceled. The game is a sequel to Chocobo Racing, a 1999 PlayStation game.
