I absolutely hated playing this mini-game to get the Sun Sigil for Tidus. I would rather dodge 5,000 bolts of lightning than try to complete the Chocobo Race again. It took so long for me to not only get through the course in 0.0, but then to do it without the balloons and birds penalizing me. I eventually had to take a backseat and let a buddy of mine get it...on his third freakin try somehow. He had completed it earlier that day on his game file, so he breezed through my race.

I hated it. My only gripe about FFX.
