More than 30 years later and this game has aged incredibly well. It still looks amazing to this day. Long live the SNES!

I’ve gone my entire life without knowing Fire Field even existed. Now I NEED to beat it.

can't wait all those track on F-ZERO99

The real struggle in this game for me is either being rammed by CPU or the road blocking cars

What a cool beginning

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.

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.

I haven't played this in probably about 10, perhaps more, years but I distinctly remember how mind-bendingly difficult some of these stages were. Also how I discovered SNES controllers are surprisingly durable.

Agreed, I’m currently running a Golden Fox, and I think it’s going to last about 30 seconds in king league. I think those that have put time into Wild Goose will reap the benefits.

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.

I finally swept the entire master class yesterday. No resets. No retries. I have to put a date stamp on this (2/2/21).

Keith2800 Right on! I've been playing this game since it came out and it still can kick my ass pretty good. I know I've never come close to a flawless run. IMO, that is what makes this game so great.

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.

Wow the final stage is really breath taken! It's like a war

Loved the fact that after beating White Land I, you immediately face White Land II. Also lol at the poor schmuck who got taken out after the big jump on lap 2.

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🎉

Well Done!!! Now i know the best spot to use the Speed boost for Fire Field. Ive been trying to beat King Master Class for a month now. I see as long as you can get in front on that course, just keep them in check and your good. Thanks!!!!!

I finally beat the King League on Master difficulty today.

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!

your very good at this game! When i played Mute City i lost a bunch of times

Again I have to complement you on this rendering. It is without compare. Though strong sharpening is obvious, (the game really doesn't look like this) it is a beautiful rendition. What editor do you use?

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.

Awesome. I have beat all leagues on Master with the Stingray. Took me a lot of time to do King League, i always lost on Fire Field but i did manage to do it once a couple of years ago. I'm currently trying to do it again but Fire Field keeps beating me lol

that sound when you land, I've never heard that. Is it from pressing down to land smoother? It always made a smacking sound when I've landed. way to post in 2020 too... surprising!

Yes, holding down is the way to not lose speed when landing from a jump.

is the fire stingray required to beat master mode? Im just no good at keeping up its top speed without slowing, but the other cars seem top slow? or is it a matter of just perfecting tracks and hoping not to get rammed?

It definitely is possible to beat the game on master with the other vehicles, although I never did it with anything except the stingray. I can't say I tried too many times with anything else, though.

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.
