Chocobo Racing is a video game for the PlayStation, released in 1999 by Square Electronic Arts. It is a racing simulator, and it has often been compared to Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing. Though most characters use cars or buggies, some specific ones just fly, or use scooters, magic carpets, roller skates, a mine car, and even a cloud. This is in the world of Square's Final Fantasy series, hence the name.
The games characters consist mainly of "mascots" of the Final Fantasy series, such as Chocobo himself, the Moogle and the Black Mage. In true Final Fantasy style, this game also has a character named Cid, (for further information on this, see Cid (Final Fantasy)).
