ChocoboGP is no Mario Kart, but its full of delightful references for FinalFantasy fans.
Many franchises have tried to draft off of Mario Kart’s success, but few can keep up with Nintendo’s sales monster. Throughout gaming history, we’ve seen kart racers featuring Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Garfield, and more. Now, Square Enix has brought its most popular series back to the starting gate.
Ready, set, kupo! Chocobo GP is a fairly standard Mario Kart clone, with a few twists. Players pick from a cast of racers pulled from the Final Fantasy series. Each has their own simple stats, karts, and a special ability. Races are short, usually clocking in around three minutes or less. Like Mario Kart, players drift to get speed boosts, collect crystals , and snag items that can be used to torture unsuspecting drivers.
The story is essentially a Saturday morning cartoon featuring characters from Final Fantasy . 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. From there, another Moogle and its Chocobo companion stumble into a grand prix led by the mysterious Racing Hero X, which takes them to different locations from the series’ past.
