Few tips. For chapter 2 1. Max out speed 2. Avoid rocks and avoid using boost 3. Notice how Goro slows down around the rocks each time you drive by them. 4. You will catch up to him before 3/4 of the map and once you get closer to the end use your boosts while dodging the remaining rocks. He will still slow down because he's trying to avoid them. 6. When boosting properly you can go above your top speed which is about 1,100 right after you hit the boost button time yourself and let go of the acceleration button then tap it after your boost is done being used. Once you hit that first over the top speed which is usually around 1,200 - 1,300 repeat until you are at the finish line or till you are out of juice.
@ElectTheMusic That would be the tits if they released it on switch. I don’t know why they just don’t do it. The game sold 1.5 million copies, and while that is impressive for a racing game, ( that’s NOT Mario kart ) especially one that came out in 2003, it makes it harder to find as the years go on. And if you can find a copy, it’s usually pretty pricey. It’s not uncommon to see it go for $100 or more on eBay and Amazon. Don’t get me wrong, the original F-Zero is still a great game, but they don’t need to keep re-releasing it on every new system. I believe they made it available on pretty much every new system they ever made. It like, come on, give the other games some love. For a lot of people, the only way they can play it, is by emulation. And we all know how Nintendo feels about emulation. They’ve even sued people for it. It’s like, ‘well, if you would just port it to a new system, people wouldn’t have to emulate it just to play it.’ I still the disc so I can still play it on my Wii, but things don’t last forever, and sooner or later, my Wii is going to give out, just like everything else. Just another reason why playing the game is getting harder to do. Porting it to switch would literally fix ALL of that. Plus Nintendo like money, and I bet that people would buy the shot out of this game. I know I would.
Chapter 7 is the hardest in my opinion. Took me so long to beat back in the day. And I always wished there was a 6th cup for Grand Prix which consists of the chapter 1,3,7,8,9 tracks
I was never able to beat Chapter 7 when I got the game initially, and I finally beat it for the first time due to both Blood Falcon and Black Shadow driving off the track
I got the tip from my friend that also got trouble with this chapter. Just try to kick Blood Falcon and Black Shadow off the track and it's more easy to finish. So I tried, and achieved.
On Deathborn's race I played it on Very Hard and he had a HUGE lead over me until the CPU killed itself lmao I raced alone and won and unlocked the Dark Schneider and became my fav machine
So. many. close. calls in your playthrough, wow. Well done. I never got past chapter 7 when I played it years ago. This was a nice nostalgia moment for me, so thanks.
I have this game too, and I'm proud to report I beat all nine missions on very hard like this guy. Of course, it was so hard it made me scream; it took me two whole years to do it. I wish Nintendo would make a new F-zero game, with an easier difficulty. Come on Nintendo, just one more F-zero game?! PLLEEEAAAASSSEEEE?!?
I kinda just got lucky with how I played the game. I didn’t realize you had to pay and unlock the next mission after you beat the first so I just played CF trains on hard with only an hour or so of experience with the game but then I beat the story then didn’t touch the story again for days and I just did a bunch of grand prixs then I was really good and very hard was a bit of a breeze. But save Jody...that shit haunts me
It's nostalgic, thinking you're good at this game until you play the story mode on very hard and lose nerves und probably a few year of your lifespan just overcoming rescuing Judy
Chapter 3. Right after you entered the seconded lap, look how quickly Billy's avatars shakes ( gaining high speed ) He was cheating as fuck.. But I laughed my ass off when I saw him disappear from the top 6 XD
@Tarma From my experience if you are in first 99% of the time he throws himself off the track even if your not in first he does it but the chances are greater if your in first
Just that first one took me just over 3 hours of attempts to beat, and without this video to help me with the specific 3 lap pattern to collect those things i suspect it would take far longer. These extra pilots better be worth it lol. Thanks for this upload!
I beat this whole game with unlocking everything when it first came out. Why the hell am I trying to do it all over again? It was hard as hell and it still is.
Yeah I bought it based of these reviews claiming it would scratch the same itch. Played it once. It’s so clunky and not even remotely the same feeling of intense racing.
Idk man, you have to be sooo precise on all of these missions just to barely beat them. Normally it wouldn’t piss me off, but since it’s required to beat the very hard missions to unlock the secret racers, it drives me insane
Nice to see this without speed run techniques. I hope I can beat Story mode by combining your strategy and some speed run techniques... At least quick turn, maybe MT or Mt boosting, MTS could be beneficial... But all this doesn't help to keep the blue falcon stable at high speed and achieve a clear steering of the machine 😅 especially in chapter 8
Grats! Will use this as a guide for the two I couldn't beat years ago. Mission 1 and 8 on very hard. What are your Accel/Max speed tuning settings for those? (How many segments towards one or the other?)
Currently playing through this game for the first time...at the moment, I've cleared all of the cups on Master, and completed most story mode missions on Very Hard (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9). I've cleared mission 8 on Hard, but not Very Hard. I haven't cleared 7 on Hard.
@@CheddarBayBaby damnnnnnnnn 17 years?, the only way to beat the game is dedication and pure memory of all the tracks and learn when too boost and not too boost.
@@SUPERAFRASIABI89 yeah, I mean I wasn’t playing it consistently haha, but just a couple of times and walked away and then came back a few years later. It’s worth it though. Glad I at least finished normal. I’m sure I could do it faster now, especially since I beat chapter 7
@@CheddarBayBaby just play everything on master in the cups, then come back to the story mode you'll see a difference. thats how you beat the game and play it consistently is the only way to beat it fast.
What's the deal with the other attack from 4:29-4:55?... I try doing that when I get really close to other drivers & it doesn't work for me, so, that's why I mostly use the spin attack & hope to either send somebody flying, or, I actually end up taking them out.
I managed to beat them all many years ago, chapter 7 was a real nightmare! I know I won't be able to clear them on very hard again, but I feel accomplished!
Man I took so much pride in completing this game completely! It was fucling HARDDDDD! Especially the Grand Prix in story mode that took forever I did it with a touch of luck
Idk if this’ll help anyone on ch 4 on hard or very hard but when some of the racers in front of you fall back they try to box you in. The racers that are already around you will do that as well. You can speed up and spin attack into the group or steer to the opposite side of where you're at, boost, and then spin attack into the group. If im not using the side attack, thats what i try to do in order to do as much damage as possible. Fat Shark is worth it!!!
It may be completable in under 20 minutes, but the amount of practice and skill it takes to do it takes ages. Every chapter past the first will likely take you dozens of attempts even on the easiest difficulty.
Chapter One on Very Hard is the hardest thing in the game for me. The one where collecting all the shiny things. I beat everything in this game except maybe some ghost racers if there were such. I unlocked everything, I think even the parts for ship customization. So I never got the last ship which I wanted so badly and still want to this day, the ship which has flapping and extending wings, Rainbow Phoenix. But that chapter was way to hard for me and woulda taken loads of practice. Not suited good for me. A weak spot.
7:30 it looks harder than Normal. Normal forgives you up to 700km, which bomb doesn't elapt with moderate accident. however Hard 800km regulation never forgive your any miss.
I set Dolphin's internal resolution to "auto" (outdated option) and went into fullscreen with a resolution of 1920x1080. Fraps was the program I used to record this. I think I encoded it with Movie Maker XP, although I currently only use VirtualDub.
I don't know of any options to make the game run faster. I do get a little slowdown on Sand Ocean with all 30 racers in single player mode, but Story Mode was no problem. I would say it mainly just comes down to your CPU and graphics card.
I decided to pick the game up and try to beat everything on very hard..... Chapter 7 can go freaking die...... I think I've had over 500 attempts on it and still can't beat it, it just seems like no matter what I do, no matter how perfectly I perfect my techniques and strategy, I lose because of some random bullshit that happens (car knocks me off, my machine ends up sliding for no reason) And idk how the hell I'm suppose to beat it, it feels next to impossible.....
I wish I could suggest something, but the stage really is that cheap. The stage is pretty easy with snaking, but some would consider that to be cheating.
@@arronmunroe Haha I've considered just snaking the chapter, but I feel like trying to get the pattern down would be difficult, I'm just gonna keep trying on Max Speed
My mum got me a copy of F-Zero GX for Christmas. I’ve never been so angry at this game, yet I’m having an absolute blast with it at the same time
How lucky
Puts on a different mask but drives the same vehicle. What a disguise.
@Trevor Kasen no one asked
@Desmond Santamarina shut up bot
best disguise ever made
Are YOU going to walk up to Falcon and tell him his disguise sucks? I'm not going to be the one to tell him.
Im surpried no one is taking Blood Falcon's age too seriously.

1. Max out speed
2. Avoid rocks and avoid using boost
3. Notice how Goro slows down around the rocks each time you drive by them.
4. You will catch up to him before 3/4 of the map and once you get closer to the end use your boosts while dodging the remaining rocks. He will still slow down because he's trying to avoid them.

The sense of speed in this game was incredible. It was just so damn hard though.
Its the best!
This game was sooooooooooooo good! We need an HD remaster for switch. (it's never gonna happen sadly)
Get it on Dolphin if you can run it. It can be run at HD reses.

I completely agree with you. Chapter 7 gave me more trouble than any other chapter.
Black Shadow and Blood Falcon just need to die or it's close to impossible. They just cheat so much there.
I was never able to beat Chapter 7 when I got the game initially, and I finally beat it for the first time due to both Blood Falcon and Black Shadow driving off the track
I got the tip from my friend that also got trouble with this chapter. Just try to kick Blood Falcon and Black Shadow off the track and it's more easy to finish. So I tried, and achieved.
I kicked both off the track at the beginning, if not, I would reset the mission until I made it
I’m stuck on chapter 5 for very hard and I swear the stress it puts on my heart both watching it and playing it is taking years off my life expectancy
The one I celebrated the most when I played this game was the 4th mission, shit, it took me so long to beat those bald guys
I beat it this week. The first day I tried to learn the shaking technique I tried to use it for chapter 4 and I directly beat it😅
I was glad when I unlocked Fat Shark.
