Buggy Controls:

    In this morning, Cloud and the rest of the team pay a visit to Mr. Coates.  He's reluctant to help the team at first, but Barret shows the pendant to Coates, who quickly changes his tune.  If the team wants to get out of Corel Prison, they need to win a Chocobo Race.

    Now it's time to meet Ester, Chocobo Racing Manager and allaround nice person.  She offers to be Cloud's manager and says she'll lone him a decent Chocobo for the race.  She takes you to the Jockey's Lounge where you can talk with the other jockeys and grab the "Ramuh" Materia.   WHen the bells sound, follow the other jockeys out.  Ester will give you some last-minute tips before the race begins, so pay attention.

    It's best to take Manual Control of your Chocobo before the race ecen begins.  At the start of the race, incruease your Chocobo's speed so that there's a very slow drains on his stamina.  This will give your Chocobo better speed then the other Chocobos and should enable you to get a small lead.

Tip:

        Don't worry if a Chocobo goes flying past you.  The jockeys are pushing their Chocobos too hard - they'll run out of steam before the race is ocer

    When you reach the "space theme" area, make your Chocobo sprint toward the finish line.  If things go well, you should easily win the race.  If not, keep tring until you do.

Tip:

       You can slowly refill your Chocobo's stamina meter by holding R1 + R2 during the race.  This enables you to push your Chocobo harder.

    You're free from prison and Dio is very sorry about the mix-up.  As an apology, he gives you a Buggy to help with your journey.   He also tells you that Sephiroth is headed to Gongaga, a town located to the south.

Note:

        You can cross the desert with the Buggy, but you can't return to COrel Prison.

Tip:

        You can return to the desert in the buggy; however, if you get lost, a Chocobo cart will help you out.
