While cloud is escaping from the Shinra building the rest of the team are in this truck, Cloud has to protect them on his bike. This is also featured in the Gold Saucer game.

Chocobo

Chocobos feature heavily in all Final Fantasy games so you might be familiar with them. When you use a chocobo lure near chocobo tracks you sometimes fight a chocobo, you mist defeat the other enemies to obtain the chocobo. Remember to have the materia attached, otherwise a chocobo won't appear. This is the first mode of transportation you get for the world map.

This is the second mode of transporter you get for the world map, Dio will give this to you after you escape from the desert prison. It can cross shallow rivers and sand.

Tiny Bronco

This is the third mode of transportation you get after escaping on it at rocket town. Unfortunately it can't fly after being shot down by Shinra, but it does make a handy boat which can travel along the coast of the continents.

Submarine

You get the submarine after the under water reactor, the sub does anywhere underwater on the world where there are a lot of secrets. Explore underwater, but don't bump into emerald weapon unless your hard enough!
