Jump Rope in Alexandria
In Alexandria, to the left of the ticket booth, are a couple of girls playing
jump rope. If you talk to one of them, you'll be able to play(keep in mind that
this can only be done by Vivi). Now, when playing, the field icon will pop up
occasionally. When it does, press the X button, and you'll jump. After a
certain amount of jump, this will get faster. Depending on how many jumps you
do, depends on what reward you will receive.

Mognet Central
This sidequest is also very long and tedious. To start it, on your way to Mount Gulug, talk with the moogle "Mogrika".
She says that Artemion did something and now mognet is in trouble. Get a light blue Choco, and travel to the east portion of the forgotten continent. Look
for a crack on a wall, and use a dead pepper to access it. Inside, talk with the
purple colored Moogle, who tells you that he uses too much of a certain thing, and now Mognet can't operate. You'll know have to deliver a certain chain
of letters in order to get Mognet operational again.
Start off by heading to Alexandria and talking with Kupo, who is on the bell
tower. He gives you a letter for Atla. Now, head towards Burmecia, and deliver
this letter to her. He gives you Mogryo, who is the Moogle standing next to the farm in the black mage village. Deliver the letter, and Mogryo gives you
a letter for Kumool, who is the moogle standing in Ipsen's Castle courtyard. He then gives you a letter for Mois. Take this letter to the moogle outside
the entrance at the Qu Marsh in the Mist Continent.
He gives you a letter for Noggy, who is the moogle standing next to the synth shop in Daguerreo. He then directs you to Kupo, for the final letter.
Talk with him, and he tells you that somebody here in Alexandria has the item you need.
Swing your feet towards the mini theater here, and talk with Ruby, who gives you the Superslick. Take this to Artemion at the Mognet central, and give
it to him. You'll receive a Protect Ring in exchange.
Feed the Moogle Family
In the Gizamaluke's Grotto, you can find the moogle family, which can be fed
with Kupo Nuts. The Kupo nuts are very rare and hard to obtain. The first one
you get is when Vivi buys it at Lindblum. The rest can be found in the mognet
central side quest. Each time you give them a kupo nut, you'll receive an item
in exchange
Mr Morrid Coffee
Mr Morrid, an old man living in the observatory mountain by Dali, needs three coffees in order to rest in peace. You must accomplish this mission before
disk 4, or else Morrid will die and the observatory will be closed forever. The Moccha coffee which is the first coffee you must get, is located in the
gate north of the chocobo forest, by the fountain. The second one, Kirman Coffee, is in the back of the table at Eiko's house courtyard. Lastly, we must get
the Burman Coffee.
This one is a bit tough. First, wait for Zidane's incursion to Treno(during the card tournament). While there, make use of the south gate and travel
back to Dali. There, go to the mayor's house, where we must get the "key". The mayor's son is sleeping here, so you must move quietly. Start off
by checking the desk to get the Mini Brahne and then check it twice until the little boty says "ZzZzzZ...". Check the Stove then to get
the Key. Use this key on the locked door at the windmill, and examine the chest in the room you just unlocked. Examine it twice and you'll get
the Burman Coffee. Take it to Morrid, and he'll tell you he'll Mail it you. Visit the Tantalus hideout at Lindblum and there you'll find the
Mini Prisma Vista.
Racing Hippaul
Hippaul is located at the main street in Alexandria. Talk with his mom and
you'll get to race him. Press both [SQUARE] and [CIRCLE] rapidly to race. He'll
gain levels as you race with him. For every 10 levels you level up him, you'll
get a prize. When you take him to level 80, he'll stop giving you prizes, so
taking him up to level 100 is worthless.

Excalibur
On the fourth disk, go to Daguerreo and talk with the Old Man wandering around
the Library. He'll tell you that if you give him a certain item, he'll give you
a prize. This item is the [MAGICAL FINGERTIP]. Go to Treno auction house, where
it is found. You'll have to pay around 100.000 or 80.000 to get it. If it
doesn't appear in the list, then buy ALL of the items in sale, and sell them to
the man around the café and in the synth shop. Once you have this item, take it
to the old man, he'll tell you his life story, and give you the Excalibur.
Excalibur II
This is a challenge to everybody who feels as a FFIX master. Get to the terrace
in Memoria within 12 hours, and examine the corner to the right. You'll get a
message as well as the Excalibur II, which is the most powerful weapon in the
game.
Hades
Hades is one of the optional bosses found in this game, and is one of the
toughest emenies. In Memoria, go through it until you
reach a place where Quina starts to swim. When the cinema stops, check behind
the coral there. Hades will tell you to leave. If you persist on the
conversation, you'll get to fight him.
Friendly Monsters
Throughout your world map traveling, you may suddenly enter a battle with sweet
music as the background music. This "battles" are against friendly monsters.
When you get into this "battle" they'll ask for an item. Give it to them, and
they'll leave. You must do this In a certain order, until you get to the Yans(if
you try to talk with the friendly Yan before "feeding" the rest of the friendly
monster, it'll escape"). See below for the order, location and what you must
give to each monster.

Ragtime Mouse
As you travel through FORESTS, you may enter a random battle with sweet music as
the background music. This time around, you may find the ragtime mouse. Without
previous advise, he'll ask you a question, and you must answer it. Attack the X
symbol if you think it is wrong, and attack the O symbol if you think it is
correct. Each correct answer you get is worth 1.000 Gil

fight him, travel to the Chocobo's air garden, and jiggle on the tombs there. A
certain one will trigger a cutscene with Mene. Persist, and you'll get to fight it.
