@@MrNapkino yeah, I think devs were worried that games would look too barebones with less polygons ... but I think that the style actually looks kind of cool.
The second track just turns into a minute of purity when you play it SO much that you hit every boost pad and smash the boost button and the tunnel makes you feel like you are travelling backwards through time! You motherfuckers Nintendo. Bring back F-Zero. Just keep it pure like the original, this one, and GX. That's all people want. A shit load of tracks and mind bending speed while weaving in and out of tons of competitors with screeching guitars. PLEASE!!!
You can go so fast in some cars in that race that you can launch yourself off the track for a while but still come back, but if you manage to go even faster you can reach escape velocity and cross the death threshold and die. Simply incredible.
Apparently, you tilt your nose down to prevent that. I have to get my Wii out of storage to see. I'm playing Armored Core Nexus, Ninebreaker, and Last Raven for now.
I just started playing this game for the first time. It’s so fun. I absolutely love the bonkers track design. Going into a bottle neck with 30 people when a harsh 90 degree turn or wall. It’s amazing
@6:36 That is the first time in my life I have ever seen one of these machines get destroyed after the finish line. It was hilarious. Thank you for that. And I'm happy the win still counted.
I remember getting so damn fast on the second track with all the boosts that I just took off the track and fuckin died. Best speed 10/10 would boost again
I love how the tracks themselves obscure the view in front of the player so you don't see the the road spawn right in front of you and the game can run at a higher frame rate as a result.
@@Rodzilla97 You can make Star Fox run a little better with Retroarch or Recalbox. With these two, you can overclock the Super FX and run the games way faster.
@@projectikaruga not really. Vergil from DMC3 and Zeus from God of War 2 work because there wasn’t enough frames to ruin the illusion of lightning paced action
The speed of sound, as you know it, is specific to Earth and its atmosphere. One could argue that since these races take place on alien worlds with different atmospheres the speed of sound could be significantly higher. The real reason is, of course, that the developers didn't think of it or allow themselves to get bogged down with those sorts of details. But it's a potential in-universe explanation!
Jose Machado Seeing Captain Falcon without his helmet makes me feel uneasy and makes him an ordinary looking person. I’m so used to him having his helmet on.
Here’s how I’d rank every track in this cup from worst to best. 6. Silence (The visuals are cool and the tunnel section is nice, but the track is a little too basic, but I like that there’s a bazillion booster pads, and the music is awesome) 5. Devil’s Forest (The track’s design is pretty straightforward, but it’s not boring at all, the visuals are really cool, and the music is awesome) 4. Port Town (That jump near the beginning is SO fun to go off of, the u-turns are fun as well, this track’s visuals are nice, and the music is upbeat and I like it a lot) 3. Mute City (It’s cool that it’s shaped like an 8, and that loop makes this track even more enjoyable, the visuals are really cool, and the music is very catchy) 2. Sand Ocean (The fact that this stage is mostly inside a pipe is amazing, this track is very fun, the visuals are cool, and my god the music is absolute madness and I adore it) 1. Big Blue (My 3rd favorite track in the entire game, the visuals are beautiful, the cylinder thing is amazing, very fun track, and it has my personal favorite song in this game)
man you're so good even if you're not using the proper N64 controller :D Ps: ALL RIGHT, FIRST PLACE! ;) (to get first in both Big Blue and Sand Ocean on master you have to spam boost and keeping your speed as high as possible, i reccomend you almost all high speed settings for both :) and on Big Blue there are lots of dash pads, if you get them right you could use a little less energy to boost ;) )
First off: I’m convinced master difficulty CPUs cheat Secondly: I am so glad that they developers strived for a 60 fps game because I feel like that’s the exact fps, or somewhere along those lines, needed to make any racing game timeless
Tell me, did you set a analog stick sensitivity limit? Did you set deadzone? Did you used Project 64? If not, what emulator? You played with the Xbox 360 analog stick or did you set the direcional buttons? Sorry for those many questions, but I'll be so happy if you answer me.
Unfortunately, I don't have the settings I used for this. I don't think there is a sensitivity limit, but there is analog stick range but I'm unsure what exact number I used. Deadzone was likely really low, but I would now probably set it to around 25%. I used the Xbox 360 joystick, not the directional buttons. I'm pretty sure I did use Project64 for this, but if I did it now, I would probably try Mupen64-rr. Keep in mind that I never really found the perfect joystick setting. It wasn't as good as playing on a real N64.
@@arronmunroe So sad! The analog stick range was the most important information... :( I know it's impossible to get the perfect config without a true n64 controller, but I want to get the most closer than possible. For curiosity, did you beat the game with all characters? And why Mupen64-rr? (edit) I have the GameSir G4s, it's a good controller and it has the nice Xbox layout.
@@julianofs6041 My range on n-rage is currently set to 66% and the real N64 range box is checked, which might override the number, but I don't really know for sure how it works. Also, I might not have even used N-Rage. It was either that or Jabo input. I haven't beaten the game with every character. I consider Mupen64-rr a good choice because I like to have a backup of the input recording. Unlike a giant video file, which I can't keep on my computer, I can keep a copy of my gameplay when it's just a small replay file. Edit: Correction, I actually used Mupen++ for this game, so I did get a replay of it. Mupen++ is like Mupen64-rr, except a little less reliable. I definitely did use PJ64 for the Expansion Kit, though.
finally beat this today in 60fps; I completed FZero X in master a couple years ago... then i realized it was the PAL version that runs slower X) The 60fps version is so much harder jfc xD
In F-Zero GX, I believe there is a small speed advantage from doing that, but I don't think there's a reason to do that in this game. I would say that in this video, I'm not going out of my way to hit the edge of the speed boost. It looks to me that when it happens, it's related to a turn I'm trying to make, or in Silence, maybe it's because I'm trying to get into position for the next boost without turning the joystick too far.
Sorry, I dont speak english very well, but anyone can tell me what is saying the speaker in this game? : "Oh woaw, first place!" , the own thing I understand :/
Gagdamnit. I can complete the traks fast enought on time trial, but the other cars destroy my speed on master grand prix 😢. Dd cup was hard to drive, but at least it was easy to kill enemys. The 3 lives limit is the harder part.
I've had some weird versions of this game on project64. By weird I mean AI behaviour. I remember the first time I got it master difficulty and even expert were damn near impossible on jack cup. Queen and king were ok and joker was very tough though doable but X cup was extremely easy, they'd always put the breaks on at the end so I would get 'way out in front' and win. In the current version I have jack queen king and joker all play as expected, challenging but winnable, cannot afford to hit edges full on otherwise won't win but drive steady missing the odd boost here and there and mostly refreshing in the healing zone and you'll be ok. X cup though is near fcukin impossible. After about 10 attempts with different racers I won but it required the top 2 rivals to fcuk up 2 races 1 by force and 1 the track being so awkward that most the field fell off so I gained a default 3rd place and lots of points. Problem is unlike the other cups the rivals never fail to win whereas you struggle to make top 6 consistently. Rarely a race can be won by having a lot of yellow zippers and a large healing zone otherwise I'll finish somewhere 5th to 11th.
wondering why you rarely kill opponents...its the most fun at this game xD besides you get an extra life when killing enough opponents, as well as extra energy for each kill
I don't feel like more extra lives would be too useful, although extra energy is. I think mainly I just don't do it because I don't want to slip and lose too much speed. I have a hard enough time not slipping out just driving normally.
really smart of them to prioritize fps for this game, makes it one of the easiest n64 games to go back to
Yeah for real, really wish more n64 games did this, really hard to go back to games like diddy kong racing which drop to 10 fps at times lol
@@MrNapkino yeah, I think devs were worried that games would look too barebones with less polygons ... but I think that the style actually looks kind of cool.
The Lower frames worked for some N64 games but the Sacrifices in detail add so much to F-Zero X's character that you can genuinely forgive it
Yeah, not the best looking, but one of the best playing.
IMO still the greatest racing game of all time

Such an ass-kicking soundtrack. Amongst the best N64 soundtracks ever.
ArcanaKnight617 More like *the number one best by a MILE*
Best soundtrack of all time not just from N64
Agree
Yeah I believe that fzero gx is more than likely the best in the franchise but damn this soundtrack goes so hard
It's imprinted in my mind from when I was 5 playing with my dad. Good times and great game

Mine too. Great memories
This game and especially the OST brings me instant nostalgia lol

Lmao that was fucking beautiful

This is literally how almost every 3D game operated back then. Fog everywhere.

That's HARDCOOOOOOOOOOORE!
Death is temporary. Glory is forever.
i got a orgarms in 60 fps xd
Redline in the Redline race
man this game looks so good because the 60 fps
True
Games with higher frame rate usually ages better. Frame rate is everything!
@@projectikaruga i think an exception is star fox snes. still looks really cool to me, and is still just as fun as ever

He decided to clash with Dr. Clash!

12:05 The only time you'll ever see Captain Falcon's face.
There is a moment in the F Zero anime where C. Falcon reveals his face
He gives me major Gilbert Gottfried vibes.
I had this on N64, was such an awesome game
4:59 the most F-Zero sound ever.
Wow, this youtube video timeline. Everyone just watched the second track over and over again. This shows how amazing this track is.
How are these guys not blowing up the air with shockwaves? They keep exceeding the speed of sound with their cars!
The speed of sound, as you know it, is specific to Earth and its atmosphere. One could argue that since these races take place on alien worlds with different atmospheres the speed of sound could be significantly higher.

It is very impressive that you managed to get 1st in Port Town despite the use of an Xbox controller
The best F-Zero.
12:02 The helmet has eyes
Jose Machado
Seeing Captain Falcon without his helmet makes me feel uneasy and makes him an ordinary looking person. I’m so used to him having his helmet on.
Who do you think was driving?
Yo thanks for the uploads you're a beast. I gotta pick this game up.

GGWWWWAAAHHH!!!
Way to poetically murder poor Pico and seal the win

My favorite track it's "SECTOR B"
6:42 And coming in first, it's some dead guy!
I now retire undefeated champion. What do you mean GX?
I think he said that often when he wins Grand Prix to trick his enemies since they're out for his blood for ruining their schemes.
@ 2:07 That straight up assassination of poor Dr. Clash though.

I want this game
i love the little brrrring noise and star when you murder someone
2:07 tell me about how to begin the race as a bastard... LOVE IT!
Desperate measures for desperate times.
WoW , and I always thought he was like Master Chief ! Helmet Within a

It took me a long time to notice that he says yeah the final lap....I thought he was saying yeah oh boy oh boy

ahhhh what a game. I only managed to win the master title by destroying my rival in every race
They need to bring this game back for Xbox and PlayStation, make it an online mode where you can play 30 people at once
Silence is the best track in all of racing.

This is like the only 60FPS N64 game. It feels almost impossible.
It was lol. They had to get rid of all the scenery.
