The instructions on how to manuver a chocobo are listed below if you do not wish to see them then go down to the bottom for helpful hints and plays.

Some Hints to use:

1. Always hold down R1+R2 to recharge your chocobo's stamina. This way, you can put your speed to the max without any drain, and your boosts won't decrease your stamina as much.

2. Try to get in front of the other chocobos early in the race. Nothing's worse than using your stamina trying to boost when a chocobo is right in front of you.

3. When you are in front, you can block the progress of the chocobo behind you by placing yourself in front of him.
4. Use only about 1/4 of your stamina in the beginning and only to get in front of the other chocobos.

5. Don't worry about the chocobos that go passing you at the beginning, this just means that they are boosting and will soon run out of stamina. You can pass them easily afterwards.

6. FEED your chocobo greens so it can get to at least 110 kmH and 600-800 stamina
7. Always put the controls on manual if you haven't figured this out yet


Thing to look forward to:

1. In the space or water scene, (Unless you have a red/black/gold chocobo) your chocobo will slow down greatly, if you are in S class, the others should be right behind you, try to get in front of them and prevent them from getting in front of you.

2. Every once in a while, a guy named John will race he will be riding on a black chocobo named Teioh. This chocobo will always be faster and have more stamina than you, even when you have 999, it will have more than you. When you first start to breed/race chocobos, he may beat you badly, but once you get the river/mountain/black/gold chocobos, you should be able to win the race by putting yourself in front of him in the beginning and using the hints above.

Statistics


Yellow chocobo: No advantages, the average chocobo. You can get to S class with one, but don't expect to win any races unless it is a very fast chocobo.
(120kmH)(999 stamina) is the max for a yellow chocobo


Blue chocobo: The river chocobo usually has an average normal speed, but when you use it's boost, it really flies. I won my very first S race with this one, but it was a squeaker. (136kmH)(999 stamina) max for blue

Green chocobo(Mountain): The mountain chocobo has average speed and boost, but the best part about him/her is that when you get to a space/water scene when a normal chocobo would slow down, the green doesn't lose any speed as if it were a normal piece of track. Winning the S races are not an uncommon thing with this one, but it's lack of a high speed boost could damper your performance. (130kmH)(999 stamina) max for green


Black chocobo (Mountain/River): This one combines the two elements of the Blue and Green chocobo. It has an extremely fast boost, yet it doesn't slow down in space/water environments. Expect to win alot with this one, since it usually can fly ahead of all the others. (Especially in the space scene) (140kmH)(999 stamina) max for black (This text is white because black wouldn't show out in black)(duh)

Gold chocobo (All): What can I say about this one, it has an extremely high top speed, it's boost is also extremely fast, and it doesn't slow down during any scene. Almost a sure win with every S race if you follow the tips above. (149kmH)(999 stamina) max for gold
