## Description
Famed SNES racer F-Zero gets a 64-bit update. Gameplay remains essentially
unchanged, race in a futuristic racing tournament on tracks levitated miles up
in the air, against a selection of devious opponents.
While the original had 4 cars to choose from and race against, F-Zero X has no
fewer than 30 vehicles all with their own unique strengths and weaknesses, a
choice of colours, and customisable power/acceleration ratios for each track.
At the beginning you are limited to choosing from 6 cars and 3 tournaments
(each featuring 6 tracks each), but in true Nintendo fashion, more cars and
tracks are unlocked as you progress through the game. As well as the cups, you
can also race in time trial mode, against a ‘ghost car’ recording of your best
previous lap, a la Mario Kart 64.
Gone are the entirely flat tracks of the original, having been replaced with
tracks that twist, turn, loop, rotate and basically contort into the most
crazy shapes you could imagine. One unique feature amongst almost all other
racing games is the “X” tournament, where courses are totally randomly
generated each time you start.
One of the most important changes to the format is the inclusion of
multiplayer support for up to 4 players. The various combat moves are
especially important against aggressive human play.
