After using the special ability, the player must wait for the meter to recharge to use it again. During a race, the player can only activate the chosen special ability when the meter in the upper left-hand corner of the screen is full. Before each race, the player is prompted to assign a special ability to the selected character. Special abilities are another important aspect of Chocobo Racing. Each stone is represented by a corresponding symbol on the racetrack, while stones marked with question marks grant the player a single kind of Magic Stone at random. Some Magic Stones stack, increasing in power if more than one of the same kind of stone is picked up by the player. Activating a Haste Stone, for example, gives the character a short speed boost. The player can then activate the Magic Stone for some special effect. Magic Stones can also be stolen from opponents by bumping into them from behind. In the world of Chocobo Racing, Magic Stones are scattered throughout each course, and can be picked up by the player by driving through them. The "special ability" gauge in the upper left-hand corner of the screen will not recharge until the Barrier vanishes. In this example screenshot, the White Mage activates the "Barrier" ability that protects her from the next attack she receives. Before the start of any race, the player's character can receive a speed boost by tapping the Accelerate button with precise timing during the countdown. If the player skids too sharply, however, a spin out will occur. An additional move is the skid, which is executed by simultaneously braking and accelerating into a turn as the game's cornering technique, the skid can be used to take sharp turns quickly. While racing, the player can accelerate, brake, reverse, activate Magic Stones, or use a "special ability" using the game controller's analog stick and buttons.
