Chocobo GP is a racing game for the Nintendo Switch released 10 March 2022. Part of the Chocobo series, the game was announced during a Nintendo Direct in late 2021. The game is a sequel to Chocobo Racing, and features some returning characters from the wider Chocobo and Final Fantasy series, as well as tracks based on locales from both series.[1]

When first released, the Chocobo GP was focused on microtransaction and online play. The game had two versions, a full price one and one free designated Lite. The Lite version only allowed players to access the Prologue in the story mode and the online Chocobo GP mode. The Prize Pass couldn't be purchased in the Lite version.[2] The Prize Pass, a season pass mechanic that could be leveled up to obtain content, could only be purchased in the paid version by using the in-game premium currency, mythril, which, besides some free bonus given, could only be bought with real money and had an expiration date.
The game had originally three in-game shops: Mythril Shop, Ticket Shop, and Gil Shop. The Mythril Shop had content that was only available for a certain time before changing to different content. It had stickers, costumes and music. In the Mythirl shop, players could also purchase mythril with real money. To unlock seasonal characters and rides, players were required to use the premium version of the Prize Pass. There were two versions of the Prize Pass, one regular for 800 mythril and a premium one 2,400 mythril.[3] The Prize Pass upgraded its level in the online Chocobo GP mode by placing high. Purchasing the premium pass upgraded the Prize pass level to level 60 without having to play online. Owners of the regular Prize Pass could only obtain basic rewards like stickers, gil and background images, while seasonal characters and rides remained exclusive to players with the premium version.
Following the end of season 5 and after complains from customers for the business model that forced players to buy the game and also pay microtransactions for content, Square Enix removed the Lite version and all microtransactions mechanics, including mythril, seasons and prize pass. Chocobo GP was re-released on June 23, 2023, removing all microtransactions and including now all unlockable content in-game.[4]
As part of the original release of the game, Chocobo GP', read as Chocobo GP Dash,[5] was released on January 13, 2022. Chocobo GP' is a free app for iOS and Android that Square Enix released to promote the main game.[6]
A 2D racing game, the game is better described as side scroller than a kart racer.[7] The gameplay consists of racing through dungeons with Chocobo and Atla with the objective of not falling down. As the player progresses, in-game currency is earned, which can be used to upgrade speed, balance, traction, and breaks.[8] The game has 35 levels with a leaderboard with the top records per level.
Chocobo GP' is no longer available in the App and Google Play stores.
Gameplay[]
Chocobo GP is a kart racing game, where players pick from a multitude of characters to race against other players or computer controlled opponents in themed race tracks in a contest to reach the finish line first.
The player characters pick up items, called Magic Eggs, containing magicite, which can be used to cast spells of increasing potency as you collect more of the same type of magicite. Each character also has an innate ability specific to the character with different utility.[9] There are three types Magic Eggs and all give the same magicites, but different effects each:
3 Copper, 1 Silver and 1 Gold Magic Eggs
Copper Magic Egg. Gives a magicite at level 1 or a crystal. If the stocker already has a magicite or crystal, the Copper Egg can give a different one or upgrade the level of the current one at random.
Silver Magic Egg. Gives a magicite at level 1 or a crystal like the Copper one, but if the player already has a magicite or cr4ystal in the stocker, it upgrades it to the next level instead of giving a different magicite/crystal.
Gold Magic Egg. Gives a magicite at level 2 or two crystals.
Characters can also drift boost to cut corners and gain bursts of speed.[9] The player can choose between three clases: beginner for a normal speed, master for a faster speed and mirror, which uses master speed and reverses the courses. In some modes, mirror class is unlocked after completing courses in master class.
Modes[]
The game features a Story mode that follows Chocobo's racing adventure as they interact with various characters and race them, as well as Series Races mode that follows a series of four races with up to two players locally or more online. In addition, a Time Attack mode where one can race against ghosts and a Custom Races mode where one can set up various rules and scenarios are available.
Chocobo GP[]

An online only mode, called Chocobo GP Mode, allows players to compete in multiple elimination style races with up to 64 players with points awarded the further in you get.[1] These points progress the Prize Pass, a limited time, premium currency-gated, season based, battle pass-like system behind which characters and other items are locked. With the removal of microtransactions after the end of season 5, the Prize Pass mechanics were completely removed.

Beside the selectable characters, the following ones also appear in the game in a relevant manner.

Asura, having no vehicle of her own, transforms Leviathan into one so that both can participate in the race to get their wish. While in this vehicle form, he keeps an active speaking role. Asura's unique ability in the game is Leviathan's signature move. From Final Fantasy II.
Bahamut. He appears in the story mode where he has a voiced part. He also appears as a magicite ability. From Final Fantasy.
The game features several customization options besides the character selection. These are divided in rides, costumes and colors.
Rides[]
Vehicles in Chocobo GP are called rides and vary in their form depending on the character. For example, while many characters use different types of cars, most chocobos use roller skates, while Mecha Chocobo and Cactuar are the rides themselves. Each ride has different characteristics according to these parameters in a scale 0.5 to 5.0:
Speed
Grip
Acceleration
Drift
Regardless of the character, the rides are classified in three types, each of which has different characteristics in the parameters above as well as some minor aesthetic changes.
Standard model: The model that is assigned to each character by default.
Grip model: This model prioritizes grip and acceleration above the other parameters and it's normally the slowest of the three.
Speed model: A model which has the speed parameter at its highest at the cost of the other parameters.
Shirma's standard model
Shirma's grip model
Shirma's speed model
The standard model is available from the start for each character, while the other two need to be purchased in the in-game shop. Below is a list of the ride models of the characters.

Costumes[]
Some characters have the option to change their default outfit while others don't. Chocobo has the widest variety of costumes. These are the available ones:
Besides the costumes mentioned above, season 5 added Crystal Ride, a vehicle costume for all characters that changes the ride of a character to a crystal texture. When using this costume, no color customization can be used.
Colors[]
Shirma's color customization
All characters have five unique color combinations for their rides. The first is the default one while the other four must be purchased in the in-game shop for 7 tickets each.
Additionally, all characters have the colors premium bronze for 1,500 gil, premium silver for 4000 gil, and premium gold for 30,000 gil for their rides. Season 5 added metallic colors red, blue, green, pink, purple and black for 20,000 gil each available for all rides.
No color customization can be used when using a Crystal Ride costume.
Stickers[]
Racing Hero X ride sticker customization
All characters and their rides can use a sticker from a multitude that are available in the in-game shop. Some of them were rewards in the original Chocobo GP mode with the Prize Pass mechanic and there also existed a team stickers mechanic to add bonuses the total score after a race,[10] but they are no longer available as rewards in that mode, nor does the mechanic exist. All stickers can now be obtained by exchanging tickets or gil obtained in normal gameplay, with the exception of 10 stickers which are no longer available as they were exclusive to special events.
The stickers have a multitude of forms: some are simple numbers while others are icons from several entries of the Chocobo series as well as the Final Fantasy series, such as characters or special allusions. Unlike colors, stickers can be used for customization if a Crystal Ride costume is selected.
Fire/Fira/Firaga: A fireball that is sent forward in a straight line, gains homing capabilities once upgraded and becomes an area of effect explosion at full power.
Water/Watera/Waterga: A magic that places a geyser behind the player that persists for some time until a racer collides with it. The size and strength of the water geyser increases with each upgrade.
Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga: A bounding arc of electricity that shocks multiple racers, with the amount and strength of the attack increasing upon being upgraded.
Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga: Shoots icicles that freeze other racers. The amount of icicles and the length of the freeze depend on the upgrade.
Aero/Aerora/Aeroga: A whirlwind that zig-zags in front of the caster. Upon being upgraded it'll become a tornado and at full power it sends out two.
Quake/Quara/Quaga: Creates a shockwave through the earth around the user that hurts other racers. The damage and size of the attacks increases with each upgrade.
Doom Level 1/Doom Level 2/ Doom Level 3: A magic that sends a grim reaper to another racer. The reaper attacks after a time count. The target can mash the R button to shake it off. Powered up versions take less time to activate and therefore harder to shake off, as well as creating blasts that can damage other racers.
MBarrier/MBarriera/MBarrierga: Prevents a single hit from a single magicite attack for 3 seconds upon triggering. Upgraded versions last for 5 seconds, with the strongest version triggering automatically even if not manually activated.
Haste/Hastera/Hastega: Grants a speed boost for a period of time dependant on the upgrade.
Swap Level 1/Swap Level 2/Swap Level 3: Creates two warp gates along the track, automatically letting the user traverse a set distance forward. The gates will take time to dissipate so other racers can use them as well. The distance warped depends on the level.
Bahamut Level 1/Bahamut Level 2/Bahamut Level 3: An invincible summon that replaces the user and automatically boosts them through a portion of the course, hitting enemies along its path. The damage and time traversed depends on the level. The likelihood of it appearing from a magic egg increases the lower the position the player has when it's obtained. This magicite can't appear when going in first place.
Ultima: A race wide attack that wipes out all other racers. Ultima can only be obtained by continuing to collect Magicite Eggs while the Stocker is full. It can only be activated by each racer once per race. The likelihood of it appearing from a magic egg increases the lower the position the player has when it's obtained. This magicite can't appear when going in first place.
There are also smaller crystals scatted around the race track that can be collected, though some are lost when hit by an attack. If a racer manages to gather 10, they gain some form of boost, but if they are hit in this state they immediately lose all of them. They can also be obtained as magicite, in which case they can be added to the total when activated.
Synopsis[]
A racing tournament is held and the victor is to receive a price like no other: to be granted a single wish.[1]
The story starts with Clair looking for something, while Mysterious Racer X is being pursued by Gilgamesh. When Mysterious Racer X is about to be caught, a mysterious force speaks to him and offers him power to face Gilgamesh in exchange for allowing it to reside in him. Mysterious Racer X agrees and then he successfully challenges Gilgamesh to a race where he defeats him. As the winner, Mysterious Racer X gives Gilgamesh some unknown orders.
Later on, while near Camilla's Pa farm, Chocobo and Atla are chatting about their latest adventure when they notice Mysterious Racer X speaking to Camilla, Camilla's Pa and Clair about an upcoming race where the winner will have a wish granted. Excited about the prospect, Atla signs Chocobo up. As Chocobo doesn't have a ride with wheels, which is a requirement to participate, Mysterious Racer X gives Chocobo a pair of roller skates. Atla suggests Chocobo to test his new wheels with the people there. After that, Clair suggests they go to Cid so that Atla can get a vehicle to participate, so Chocobo, Atla, Clair and Camilla go to Cid's place while Camilla's Pa stays there to tend to the farm.
At Cid's place, Shirma welcomes Chocobo's group and goes to fetch Cid. During that time Irma introduces herself and declares that she'll also participate in the race to get her wish granted to fix her personality. When Cid arrives, Atla tricks him into giving him a ride. As the groups chats while waiting for Cid, Ifrit, a not so successful firefighter due to his nature as a fire being and an acquitance of Clair, drops by and introduces himself to the group. When Cid returns with a vehicle for Atla, he challenges Atla to a race, promising to give him the ride if Atla defeats him. When Atla complains about the looks of the vehicle, Shirma admonishes him for complaining after getting the vehicle despite how busy Cid is. Atla convinces Cid to lighten up the winning conditions. Irma, Shirma and Ifrit also join the race, which fires up Irma's personality and shows why she wants to change it. After clearing the conditions, Atla gets his ride, but suddenly Gilgamesh appears and challenges them to a race to take their wheels away if he wins, which once again fires up Irma's personality. Once the group defeats Gilgamesh and he escapes, Shirma, Irma and Cid, intrigued by the wish-granting reward, join Chocobo's group while Ifrit has others things to do first, so he'll only show up when the big race starts.
Later, the group arrives to a beach where they see a racetrack so they go there. An angry Leviathan and an angry Asura confront them thinking they are in alliance with some people that's been noisy in their village there. After introducing themselves, Leviathan and Asura explain the situation to Chocobo's group and then Ben makes a ruckus while Titan tries to calm him down. Titan explains that they're old friends and used to be troublemakers, but now Titan is a working guy, which caused Ben to unsettle. When Shirma admonishes Ben for his behavior, Ben challenges them to a race. After defeating Ben, he finally listens to their advice and things get quieter, only for Sylph to arrive and incense Ben again, and then for Gilgamesh to stir things up again with another race. This time Sylph joins the race as well as Asura and Leviathan, the latter of whom is forcibly transformed into a ride by Asura. Defeated again, Gilgamesh flees while Chocobo's group explains to the others about the grand race coming up, so Ben decides to join Chocobo's group while Asura, Leviathan, Sylph and Titan will join them at the big race.
The party next shows up in a raining Zozo, where they find a distressed Maduin and ask him for place to take shelter from the rain. Maduin tells them that they do not have for the rain never ends in Zozo and tells them that he's glad to meet them since he needs some help. Just then Terra passes through the group at full speed. Maduin informs the group that she's his daughter. Terra appears to be in a feral state so Maduin tries to calm her down. Ramuh and Shiva arrive and they start to discuss with Maduin, who accuses them of causing Terra to be in trance under their care, while they point out that she's happier that way and that Maduin knew that was going to happen. Maduin demands that they return Terra to him, but Ramuh and Shiva do not agree. Ramuh proposes a race against Shiva and him in which the winner will take care of Terra. Maduin agrees on the condition that Chocobo's group is allowed to participate as his allies. After Chocobo's groups wins, Terra recovers her senses and finally recognizes Maduin, whom, for some unknown, she thought was a bear. Gilgamesh suddenly arrives, but the group claims to not know who he is, so he once again challenges them to a race in which he is also once again defeated. After that, the group informs Ramuh, Shiva and Terra about the race with the wish as a prize, so the three decide to participate, with Terra joining Chocobo's group pilgrimage.
As Chocobo's group arrives to Alexandria, they witness Steiner trying to arrest Vivi for a fake ticket. Vivi tries to explain that someone sold him that ticket, but Steiner does not wish to hear Vivi out, so the group intervenes despite Atla's opposition. Steiner tells them that he's only doing his job and is unshaken in his convictions as a Knight of Alexandria. As they keep on arguing, Steiner accuses them of being Vivi's accomplices, so he challenges Chocobo's group to a race to prove their innocence. After Steiner is beaten in the race, Vivi introduces himself to the group. When Steiner is about to leave, Bahamut appears on behalf of Queen Brahne, who was most displeased with Steiner's performance, so she sent Bahamut to summon Steiner, so Steiner quickly leaves. Chocobo's group members are astonished that Bahamut is before them. Bahamut explains that, on Queen Brahne's orders, he cannot allow the group to proceed. Bahamut tells the group that he can allow them to go on if they can win a race against him, but, since he doesn't have a ride, Racing Hero X appears and takes his place. Before racing, Racing Hero X asks if they had any problems arriving there, to which the group recalls being interrupted multiple times by a strange individual who they can't identify (Gilgamesh). After the race, Bahamut informs the group that Queen Brahne enjoyed it, so they are allowed to pass and enter the big race, joined by Vivi.
When Chocobo's group gets to the Big Bridge, the final obstacle to reach the place of the big race, Steiner, questioning his role as a knight, arrives decides to join Chocobo's group and the big race to find answers. When they try to cross the bridge, Gilgamesh arrives and, once again, none in Chocobo's group recognizes him. Gilgamesh challenges the group to a race and is defeated, but he challenges the group once again, this time using his six-arm form, agreeing to answer the group the question of why he keeps trying to block the progress of the group. Defeated again, a mysterious voice reproaches Gilgamesh behaviour and banishes him to another dimension, leaving Chocobo's group wondering about Gilgamesh's fate.
Finally arriving at Gold Saucer, where the big race for the wish reward is going to take place, Chocobo's group meets with the others that they had met on their way: Ramuh, Sylph, Ifrit, Asura, Titan, Leviathan, Shiva and Madui. The latter wonders what took Chocobo's group so long, and Cid replies that they got sidetracked. Terra is surprised to find his father there. Soon after, Racing Hero X appears and is interrupted by Atla again. Racing Hero X explains the rules of the preliminaries. After two rounds of preliminaries, Racing Hero X announces that participants for the grand prix will be announced the next day.
In the day of the grand prix, Racing Hero X announces the participants and reveals two additional members, Mecha Chocobo (because the final battle needs a robo-version of the protagonist), and himself, Racing Hero X, at which point Atla, once again interrupts Racing Hero X stylish self-introduction. After Chocobo's group defeats Mecha Chocobo and Racing Hero X in the grand prix, Racing Hero X cannot accept the results and reveals that he was supposed to win and trap Chocobo's group, so he resorts to capture them by force and transports the whole group to another dimension.
Trapped in the Interdimensional Rift, Atla and Chocobo wonder where they are. Clair explains that they are in the Interdimensional Rift, another world. Atla notices that Clair seems to know the place, so he wonders who Clair is exactly. Clair explains that he's an amethyst hunter. He points to Chocobo and Atla that Racing Hero X's pom emits a purple glow like an amethyst, and proceeds to explain that amethysts absorb people's desires and use them to grow and divide, with Racing Hero X having been consumed by such an amethyst. Clair describes how amethysts go to great lengths to find and devour mortal desire and how they use their host to that end, gathering people in large groups (just like that race), lure them in and then absorb their energy to fuel their growth and divide. Once amethysts are divided, they repeat the cycle. If people are absorbed, they stop existing in the world they come from. Clair had managed to collect all amethysts except for the one that captured Racing Hero X. Gilgamesh suddenly appears and, after recognizing Chocobo, starts rambling about the monsters he had found there and having been unable to exit that place. None in Chocobo's group recognizes Gilgamesh again much to his chagrin, but he then asks how to exit from that place, to which Atla nonchalantly point him the way out. When Gilgamesh is ready to leave, Racing Hero X arrives, which makes Gilgamesh angry for how Racing Hero X treated him after following Racing Hero X's order to impide Chocobo's group progress, to which Racing Hero X retorts that he told him to gather those with greed in the heart and bring them to the final race, which means Gilgamesh kept preventing Racing Hero X from getting Atla, the perfect specimen consumed with selfish desire. Gilgamesh admits he thought Racing Hero X wanted to keep the greedy away, which makes Racing Hero X berate Gilgameh even more. Realizing his mistake, Gilgamesh changes the narrative saying the he kept getting in the way on purpose to foil Racing Hero X (which no one buys). After all that chatter, Chocobo's group defeat Racing Hero X in a race, Racing Hero X tries to take the group down with him, but Gilgamesh self-destroys to stop his attempt. Racing Hero X makes a drama of it, but Atla points out to him that he got the wrong boss. After that, Necroshell reveals himself in his human form as the final boss. After Chocobo's group points out the logical flaws in Necroshell's claims of wanting to destroy everything, Racing Hero X reappears, now free of Necroshell's influence. With Chocobo's group indiference at Gilgamesh's fate, Necroshell chastises them and challenges them to a race to avenge Gilgamesh, much to the surprise of the group, while Racing Hero X will race Necroshell in revenge for using his body, to the confusion of the group.
After Chocobo's group defeats Necroshell, the latter vanishes which causes Chocobo's group to be expelled from that dimension. Back in the farm, Camilla, Shirma, Irma, Cid and Ben wonder where are Chocobo and his group. They chat about how nobody got a wish granted, but, despite that, many things have changed since the end of the race, with different members expressing their reactions to not having their wishes granted. Camilla's Pa appears and tells them that they should pursue their dreams by themselves and that only they'll be able to change their circumstances. While Ben is convinced by his words, Irma asks Camilla's Pa if he shouldn't also be changing his name, which Camilla's Pa refrains from. During the conversions, tremors occur and the groups see Atla, Chocobo, Clair and Mysterious Racer X suddenly appear from a mysterious light. As Mysterious Racer X is trying to take credit for saving the situation, Atla, recovering from having received the full weight of the others on top of him when they reappeared, starts reminding Mysterious Racer X that the whole ordeal was his fault to begin with. With all solved, Clair is glad that all amethysts have been put away. Camilla inquires where he put them, Clair tells her is a secret while at the same time a sacrecrow in the background glows purple. Shirma is glad that everything ended well, but Atla, as a treasure hunter, expresses his discontent that they didn't get their wish or rewards. Chocobo says that he since it was a fun adventure, there is no problem. Camilla and Cid back up Chocobo to which Atla reluctantly agrees, but, when Camilla's Pa points out to what he achieved in the farm with a little effort and time, Atla counters that he baceme a trasure hunter to avoid that. Not long after, Gilgamesh reappears and crashes, having somehow survived his apparent self-destruction, and comments he couldn't leave looking a like a jerk before the rolling credits. Racing Hero X responds that they know Gilgamesh is a jerk, while the rest of the group asks who is he, as they've done in all other occasions through the game. Angry about this, Gilgamesh says that this situation calls for a race, with the whole group shouting the "race" part of his sentence.
Epilogues[]
As the credits roll, various epilogues detailing what happened afterwards are shown on the screen.
Ifrit got his firefighting break! Thanks to his brave efforts saving people trapped in a blaze, he was given a permanent place with the rescue squad.
Asura and Leviathan continued to team up to set the all-time speed record. Every year they manage to beat their best time.
Thanks to the demand for racetracks, Titan used his skills as a constructor on the circuit to start his own lucrative construction company.
Sylph saw some grown-ups riding the merry-go-round. Their dumb faces bothered Sylph so much she decided she's cute enough the way she is, trash talking and all.
After Shiva froze the beach with Diamon Dust, no one was around to give her attention. So she decided to be a ski resort influencer instead.
Ramuh took time off to heal his aching back. He wanted to reminisce about his youth, but his hundred-year-old album pictures still look aged...
In order for Bahamut to stretch his wings, he started a shopping service on the side. Instead of getting summoned to fight, he gets summoned for deliveries.
Terra went home with Maduin, still stuck in a trance. Maduin is just glad to have her safely back so they can take their racing on the road.
Fearing punishment for shirking his post, Steiner was offended when no one in Alexandria batted an eye at his return. Vivi's back to living his life as normal.
Irma's scathing commentary during test drives shot her online popularity through the roof. But she's still looking for someone to ride shotgun.
Cid's test track became popular with car enthusiasts. Now he sees lots of spectators and racers stopping by to use his skills as a mechanic.
Shirma started a trendy driver's training program at the test track. Teaching keeps her so busy, she barely thinks about returning home.
Camilla's Pa started up a farmer's consulting firm thanks to his booming farm business. He plans to name the trade after himself.
Camilla uploaded her flower cultivation videos online and amateur gardeners flocked to he channel. So in the end, she did get her wish.
Ben realized something had to change about his attitude. Now he's trying to make something of himself by helping Titan with his fledgling business.
The amethyst threat is gone, but Clair's keeping an eye on the scarecrow in Chocobo Farm. He says he'll watch what he eats now that he's settled into a routine.
Gilgamesh is embracing his position as the butt of everyone's jokes. As a comedian, he feels a thrill at making people remember his name.
Racing Hero X has been participating in lots of races these days. Even now, his true identity remains a mystery... is what he likes to tell himself.
Atla never figured out how to wish a hundred more wishes. But if something like this happens again, he's confident he'll come up with a plan.
Just like before all this kerfuffle, Chocobo happily continues to go off on adventures with his best friend Atla.
The game features many original tracks for the game, including the vocal theme "Chocotte Gran Prix" (チョコっとグランプリ, Chokotto Guranpuri?) which is available with Japanese or English lyrics. An album release is slated for 23 March 2022.[11]
In addition to the regular melodies used by default, the game offers other themes through the in-game shop. These are arrangements and the original melodies themselves from other games in the Final Fantasy series.
"Go Talk to a Wall": Available after unlocking the Balamb Garden race track. Included in Chocobo GP Original Soundtrack + 2 Tracks. Arrangement of "Balamb GARDEN" from Final Fantasy VIII.
"Mad Dash on the Highway": Available after unlocking the Midgar race track. Included in Chocobo GP Original Soundtrack + 2 Tracks. Arrangement of "Jenova" from Final Fantasy VII.
"Stealing Away": Unlocked from the beginning. Not available in either of the soundtracks.
Reception[]
Upon release the game received mostly mixed reviews, citing the game's tone and charm as positives, but mostly seen as average or inoffensive.[12][13] Following its release, the game was criticised for it's inclusion of heavily advertised microtransactions despite 50 USD price tag, with fans comparing it to "mobile games" and feeling as if they were being "nickel and dime them", criticising the slow season pass progression, and FOMO tactics.[14][15] Following this backlash, a day after release the game was adjusted to decrease the points needed to level in the Season Pass,[16] with the stated intention of making sure everyone had the chance of acquiring the time limited characters.[17]
Following the release of Season 5, mythril is no longer available for purchase, with items formerly exclusively purchasable by mythril added to the gil and ticket shops.
