Enjoy.

This is in my top 5 most played SNES games. The graphics were mind blowing at the time. The music is still awesome. The time trials were addicting. Love this game. We really need a new one.
Fun game that as a kid I never could get the hang of to be decent at. My brother in law loved this game and I'd watch him play it, and thought it looked super cool. For the coolness factor and not the difficulty factor, it gets 4 stars!
A very good game that definitely stood apart from the pack. Future installments amped up the speed but for its time, this was a well-made racer that continues to have quite the cult following.
Growing up, F-Zero was the ORIGINAL racing game for me. The racing game where it was like, "WHY IS THIS SO HARD" and then your car explodes. The graphics were amazing, even though they were still using sprites, and each racer had their own attitude and attributes, so you could argue about who was best and make fun of your friends for choosing the dumb characters.
The biggest thing that comes back to me for the original F-Zero is just the beauty of the game, especially considering the EXTREME SPEED that you were racing at. Jumping over gaps in the track, and looking down at the megacity below, and having the track swing around while you maneuvered on a standard-definition CRT TV - it was a thing of beauty.
At the time there were tons of racing games and most of them followed a pattern. Only a few were able to stick out and shine. Put on your shades because the first F-Zero changed the world of racing games and never looked back. Mode 7 is key in this game. If you want to know more about Mode 7 be on the look out for my two part explanation video on how it was diffrent current home systems out at the time. That will be released in August 2022. Let's get back to F-Zero. You can choose between 4 racing ships, 15 maps spread across 3 diffrent leagues with 4 diffrent types of difficulty. These maps have multiple layers in the background that give a experience of active moving backgrounds while the track is in perfect sight. The controls are pin point accurate for something that uses a 8 way analogue d pad. The only thing missing from this game is multi-player. Give some one time. We will see a rom hack of multi-player. It's available on snes, wii, and switch. Play it. For reals
This one still holds up. Unique especially compared to games at the time. It simultaneously feels fast yet not out of control. Challenging but not to the point of being unfun. I saw some clickbait article about why Nintendo won't bring this series back but I don't get it, this is ripe for a 2020s update. Feels faster but manageable compared to other games in this generation.
