Released for the Nintendo Switch on March 10, 2022, Chocobo GP sees players darting through themed race tracks as they collect items, use them to overtake the competition, and aim to cross the finish line first. So, just how well does Chocobo GP compare to its rivals, and is it a worthwhile experience in its own right? Let’s find out! Gameplay & Content Sonic’s found some footing after his R ough debut, a remake of Crash’s first go at karting made an impressive splash, and, surprisingly, Chocobo’s donned his Jet-Blades once more. Over two decades later, and Mario still soundly rules the genre, with only a few hopeful racers having risen up to thrive alongside him. Regardless, fresh off of Final Fantasy VII having reinvigorated the franchise, Chocobo Racing cemented itself as one of the more memorable products of Mario Kart ’s success. It wasn’t the Chocobos’ first time in the spotlight, nor their last, but a kart racer inspired by such a prolific JRPG definitely turned some heads. One especially weird take on the craze, however, was Chocobo Racing, a Final Fantasy spin-off that put its iconic, multiverse-spanning chicken at the forefront. Crash Team Racing, Mega Man: Battle and Chase, Sonic R, Diddy Kong Racing, and much more followed Mario’s example (to varying degrees of success), putting their heroes and villains in go-karts and having them toss cartoonish artillery at each other. The second entry, Mario Kart 64, was approachable, satisfying to master, and ushered in a genre that was primed for alternate takes from different series.
Chief among the plumber’s growing list of party attractions was the esteemed kart racing founder: Mario Kart.
