Hi Res Mode 7. I love it. Dunno how many times I played this game back in the 16 bit days, but I still know how impressive it was seeing it for the first time. This changed my appreciation for racing games for the rest of my life.
@OneRoomShed4 жыл бұрын
It really was impressive back then. Plus the music was awesome too. One of my friends got this and Pilot Wings for his birthday. I remember sitting on his living room floor playing both games all day. We had his SNES hookup to his boombox and had it blasting. Good times and great memories go hand in hand with F-Zero.

This was the first SNES game I bought after the SMW pack-in. I hadn't seen any video of the game in motion and was blown away by the race intro zoom and smooth track rotation. The gameplay, tight controls (for the stingray) and soundtrack were top tier... F-Zero99 emerged from my dreams into reality.

@robertanderson94472 жыл бұрын
On this difficulty I find the most annoying course to be Port Town 2. Not Death Wind 2, not even Fire Field. Those are difficult but Port Town 2 is a different kind of beast. On paper it's less difficult to navigate, but it's set up in such a way that avoiding traffic is incredibly hard, and collisions often leave you in awful positions. In this way, the game is challenging you to stay above 5th place at all times. Fail this, and you'll be faced with way too much traffic to reliably avoid, making any chance of recovery slim at best. I think people underestimate how brutal Port Town 2 can be, because what makes it difficult isn't immediately obvious. You could say it's the assassin of the group.

Unlike my other video of this game that you commented on, this was actually played using the high res Mode 7 feature, so it has very little to do with which editor I used.

I am struggling to beat King League in Expert mode, I can only imagine what hell it must be to play those tracks in Master Mode. Port Town 2 is the biggest roadblock for me, the road is tight and the CPU cars won't stop ramming into my car. Fire Field is hell too. UPDATE: I beat the King League on Expert!
@ozymandias17585 ай бұрын
I preferred the Blue Falcon as my ride. The game manual pitched it as a good racer for beginners, but i appreciated its balance of speed, handling and grip. No waiting almost a full lap to top out your speed or having to cheat by being Rammed from behind like the Stingray, and once you mastered its handling, you would find ways to eke more speed out of it and get incrementally faster🎉

I'm not really sure what the problem is, since having a 2160p option on a video shouldn't cause a problem if you're using 720p60. Have you tried playing the video on a different web browser? Also, this video actually isn't a TAS, but that's sort of beside the point.
