Chocobo Racing is a run-of-the-mill Mario Kart clone built into Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and one of theplethora of minigamesyou can enjoy when you’re not saving the world. Chocobo Racing allows you to customize your “kart” by equipping gears, resulting in various Chocobo builds.
In this guide, I compiled the best Chocobo Racing gear and builds that pushed me to first place in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s fantastic minigame.
Best Chocobo Racing gear and builds in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Piko “The All-Rounder” Build
Since Piko is an all-around Chocobo in the statistics department, I opted to boost its stats further. Using theGi Headdress, you’ll get a decent boost in Acceleration, Cornering, Strength, and Intelligence. Both theRodeo Poncho and Rodeo Legwrapsincrease Speed and Weight to give Piko a good enough speed boost and drift potential.
GivenPiko’s inferior stats, there may be instances where you’ll need to catch up on other Chocobo Racers. TheRodeo Poncho and Gi Headdress’s effects address these issues and allow you to easily make a comeback even when you’re in last place. Also,Master Drifter is one of the best skills if you like todrift-boostduring any type of turn on the course.
Belle “The Rock” Chocobo Build
If you’re too worried your opponents may knock you out of the track or hit you with a devastating attack, then this build for Belle is for you. This build aims to significantly improve Belle’s Acceleration, Speed, and Strength to combat other players in a tight race.
Since Belle’s acceleration is far from the best,Damage Controlwill help your Chocobo whenever you run into obstacles or other fellow racers, as you’ll only get aminimal speed penalty. Moreover, having adashavailable at the beginning of the race will set you up for success, as you may immediatelyexpend your dashto boost your speed instead of relying on acceleration.

Kyma “The Master Drifter” Build
Kyma’s stats revolve around Acceleration, Cornering, Strength, and Intelligence. With the equipment and gear above, this build will take advantage of these stats by furtherboosting Kyma’s potentialto dominate the race at thestart of the game.
This build will also enhance Kyma’s drifting capabilities, making it the perfect Chocobo for tracks with tight and long corners. Kyma’s gameplay will revolve around drift-boosts to further distance itself from the competition, so make sure to utilize the drift-boost mechanic as seen in other Mario Kart games.
