I'm not trying to gloat or anything, but I never found Chocobo Racing hard at all. I don't know if it was made simpler in the PAL release or whether my tactic of using directional buttons instead of analog stick worked a treat. I could always do it within 3-4 goes.

But LIGHTNING BOLTS!???!! RAGE@@!!@!111. I can't even dodge 2 in a row!
