Chocobo Challenge is a set of remixed versions of the standard tracks, where players must place higher than special NPC opponents in order to clear the challenge. The first clear of each challenge yields very large amounts of MGP, and unlocks more chocobo training manuals at the Tack & Feed Trader. This mode was added in patch 3.25.
Each challenge has a specific minimum rating in order to challenge it, starting at rating 41. Unlike standard racing classes, there is no maximum allowed rating.
Experience and MGP values with an asterisk (*) are approximated, based on applying the reward scaling weights to confirmed experience and MGP values. The approximations should be within 1 point of the true value.
Values without an asterisk have been confirmed in-game.
The "Roulette Bonus" replaces the experience earnings of one random racer in 2nd-7th place.
Maps:
Certain chests may not always appear in every race. The annotated maps include all known chest spawn locations.
Rewards
Chocobo Challenges reward MGP upon the first clear, but otherwise they don't give any MGP.
Experience payouts depend only on which of the 3 courses is used for the challenge. The exp amount does not scale higher in later challenges.
The amount of exp given is roughly equivalent to the exp of an R-140 race.
