Chocobo GP: All Magicite & What They Do
Chocobo GP is a kart racer based on the Final Fantasy series, and instead of Mario Kart-style item boxes, players gather magicite, allowing them to cast spells against opposing racers. These can be used to gain an advantage during a race, such as by causing enemies to crash, protecting the player's own kart from harm, or making the kart go faster than normal. The rules for gathering magicite are a little different than simply grabbing one item on the track, especially as most of the spells have different levels of effectiveness.
The use of items during a race is one of the things that separates the kart racing genre from the more realistic racing games. The latest Gran Turismo wouldn't let the player throw Green Shells at a BMW. This tradition was created in Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo and has become a central part of the kart racing genre. The items used in a race can help lagging players reach the head of the pack, or stop players from catching up by throwing an item in their path. Many a friendship has been ended by the tyranny of Mario Kart's Blue Shell, as it snatches victory from the grasp of a player.
