Product Description
From the Manufacturer
F-Zero delivers the excellent play control you've come to expect in a game from Mr. Miyamoto and his team at Nintendo. You can bank with the R Button and tip down your nose while making jumps. You'll need all the control you can get, too, as you roar through the twists and turns of F-Zero's 15 deviously difficult courses. There are four hover cars to choose from, each with its own strong points and weak points. Most beginners find the durability and handling of the Fire Stingray easiest to use (despite poor acceleration), but veteran players will often choose the more-balanced Blue Falcon.
Strategy plays a big part in this speedfest. In this one-player racing game you will need to find shortcuts, elude hazards and snag power-ups if you want to beat your savvy competition. Keep an eye out for sand, land mines, magnets and other trouble spots, but always be ready to get a boost from a speed or jump plate. You'll earn one Super Turbo per lap, and part of the strategy is knowing when to use it.
When originally released in 1991, F-Zero's graphics were light years ahead of most of the competition. It still impresses mightily, thanks to innovative use of Mode 7 scrolling that immerses you in the adrenalin-pumping action.
Sonically, F-Zero is one of the best SNES titles. Driving techno music and top-notch sound effects, including the hum of your car's turbines unwinding, relentlessly propel the action. The aggressive artificial intelligence of your rivals never allows you to ease up.
Product Description
Experience the future of racing with F-ZERO. In the year 2560, racing has evolved into an intense sport reserved only for the most strong-willed and courageous drivers in the world. Racing in machines that travel at speeds of 500km or h and hover 12 inches off the ground, the F-Zero Grand Prix is the most prestigious race of them all. You can choose from four pilots Captain Falcon, Dr. Stuart, Pico the alien, or Samurai Goroh and hit the track for some high-speed racing action.

Fun:
Yeah, it's an old game for Super Nintendo, but it's the greatest racing game ever made in my opinion. I think the graphics are very impressive for its time, and it is blazing fast for a SNES racer. The music is also fantastic techno, the best music i've heard in a racing game, and better than most games in general. The vehicles are pretty cool, each having advantages and disadvantages. There are many difficulty settings, and many courses depending on the difficulty setting you chose. Beating the game on the hardest difficulty can be extremely difficult, especially at the later courses. The only rip I have on this game is that it should have been two players, and after you beat it so many times/ beat it on the hardest settings, it gets old (I played it non stop before i mastered it, now it isn't nearly as entertaining.) But for when it came out, it is definitely a classic, and to this day I think it is the best racing game ever.

Fun:
F-Zero is a fast-paced racing game set in the future...the 26th Century. This game was released for the SNES around the same time as Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. There are four hovercars to choose from: blue, yellow, green, and magenta. They have names such as the Blue Falcon, Golden Fox, etc. Each car has different capabilities with top speed, acceleration speed, steering, braking, and boosting. There are three racing leagues: Knight, Queen, and King. In each league, there are five race courses, and five laps around the track completes the course. Placing in the Top 3 on the final lap in each course completes the circuit. Other settings include level of difficulty in racing: Beginner, Expert, Master, etc. I consider this game to be slightly above average in terms of playability, fun, and replay value. One definite downside is that it is a one-player game. It would have been better if it had been released with 2P capabilities. F-Zero is worth looking into if racing games are your thing.

Not a racer. Just a classic.
While most current-gen racers focus their attention on creating a core driving experience, this Mode-7 gem drifted on to the Super Nintendo in 1991 with its own agenda: dangerous... Read more

Not worth getting the cartridge
Why buy the cartridge when you can get it downloaded on the Wii Virtual Console Shop channel, for only 800 Wii Points?

cool
The best racing game ever!!! why? The controls. This game is very easy to control. Which is a huge thing that is missing from every other racing game I have ever played.
