Gingerbread Land Gingerbread Land is a location and track in the game " Chocobo Racing " . Being a land filled with delicious treats , it is fitting that Chubby Chocobo would live there . During Story Mode , Chocobo and friends wander to the place and see the chocobo . Pointing out that he had accidentally eaten a shard of Magicite , Mog proposes a race , where if they win , they get the piece of Magicite in Chubby Chocobo ' s belly . If they lose however , Chubby Chocobo can eat them all . Track . Gingerbread Land starts out with the racers on a short , straight , and icy road in which the player can see some of the background elements reflecting off of it . After a short distance the road will turn into a rougher road that is checkered . On this road the racers must make a few sharp turns avoiding a circular structure in the shape of a cake and the walls , which are lined up candy canes . After making it past this part the racers will come to a portion of the course in which they can make a right turn onto a snowy road or they can continue on the road they are on , which forces the racers to make a long broad turn . The snowy road will force the racers to make a sharp left turn and will lead back in to the initial road . The next portion of the course will require the racers to make three sharp turns before coming to an inclining jade - colored road . This jade - colored road requires the racers to make one sharp turn before launching them into the air . Afterwards the racers will come to a tunnel that has walls that are designed like a chocolate layered cake . The tunnel requires the racers to make a few turns and to avoid a fork and knife structure . There is also a small ditch that the racers could fall into . The final portion of the course is a snowy road that leads into the icy road from the beginning . The background of Gingerbread land is very colorful and it includes decorated trees , flowers , rainbows , and columns . There are also various cake and candy structures throughout the course , including a donut structure that the racers pass through at the finish line . The music for this course is a jazzy and almost unrecognizable remix of the chocobo theme . The gap before the chocolate cake tunnel is impossible to complete in a single race if the player uses a Cactuar without Dash or Charge as its ability , as Cactuar is the slowest character in the game . " Chubby Chocobo " possesses poor speed but has excellent controls and traction . The best way to defeat Chubby Chocobo is to use the Black Magician as his top speed will match Chubby Chocobo ' s and is unaffected by the icy terrain . Challenger . Ability : Receive - After being attack with a magic stone , Chubby Chocobo will absorb the effects of it and will turn them into one for his disposal . Development . In the Japanese version the track is called " Hungry Land " where the " Final Fantasy " characters dress up as Japanese folktale heroes Momotaro ( lit . " Peach Boy " ) and Kiji ( " Pheasant " ) and say a few silly lines . These were turned into " Hansel and Gretel " for the English version , as the target audience was children and the developers wanted to use something familiar to them .
