Full of tutorials. Perfect for beginners and seasoned F-ZERO players alike.
One of the standout features of “F-ZERO 99” is its comprehensive tutorial. It ensures that even players with no prior knowledge of the game can jump right in and start playing. The tutorial takes you through the basic operations and provides helpful explanations as you play, allowing you to quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics.
The game revolves around four main operations: steering wheel control, turbo usage, accelerator control, and center of gravity movement. Understanding how to use turbo effectively is crucial. By pressing the A button while accelerating, you can activate turbo and experience an immediate burst of speed. However, using turbo comes at a cost – it depletes your machine’s durability. If your durability is low and you collide with another player or a wall, it’s game over for you. So, exercise caution and be mindful of your machine’s condition.
The tutorial can be completed by safely driving without crashing. It is essential to learn the basic operations while paying attention to your machine’s durability. If you are familiar with the original “F-ZERO” game, the basic controls should be a breeze. That said, “F-ZERO 99” introduces new elements, such as the “super spark” generated when machines collide, resulting in a golden ball. Collecting these sparks and filling the meter grants you access to the “skyway,” a high-speed path that allows you to soar above the course.
When competing against 99 other players, collisions between machines are inevitable. Mastering the art of collecting “Super Sparks” and strategically utilizing the “Skyway” can give you a significant advantage in the intense battles.
Racing with a multitude of players presents a challenging survival experience. Mind your machine’s durability!
Once you complete the single-player tutorial, you move on to a 25-player CPU battle. Here, you not only need to employ the basic controls but also learn techniques to avoid collisions with other machines. In crowded areas, the effective use of turbo becomes even more vital. Mindlessly speeding ahead will only lead to a quick crash.
During the thrilling races, you can execute a spin attack by pressing ZL + ZR, knocking other machines out of your way. Mastering this technique is highly recommended.
Completing the 25-player race without crashing unlocks the next challenge – F-ZERO 50, a race against 50 CPU players. Employing a “SAFE RANK” system, you must maintain a certain rank for each lap; otherwise, you will be disqualified. To clear “F-ZERO 50,” you need to finish the final lap within 35th place.
Lastly, we have the titular race “F-ZERO 99.” Similar to “F-ZERO 50,” the core gameplay remains unchanged. However, in “F-ZERO 99,” your competitors are determined based on your grade rank, with four players of similar grade selected. Aim to finish ahead of your rivals to improve your rank. While clinching first place is important, it is equally crucial to enter the race with the goal of surpassing your competitors.
It is worth noting that the CPU battles in “F-ZERO 99” feature the iconic “Captain Falcon” from the renowned “F-ZERO” series as one of your competitors. Keep an eye out for his performance while playing this exciting title.
Customize your machines, collect parts, and strive for victory in the Grand Prix.
Once you finish battling against the CPU in “F-ZERO 99,” all game modes will become available. In addition to competing against other players, you can participate in timed events and mini-Grand Prix races using tickets won as race prizes in “F-ZERO 99.” Furthermore, you can customize your machine with collected parts by meeting specific race conditions, adding a layer of depth and customization to the gameplay. There are plenty of elements to explore and experiment with.
For those looking to practice, there is a dedicated practice mode where you can freely race on your favorite courses. Additionally, a recording mode allows you to review your race records, making it an excellent opportunity to aim for new personal bests.
As someone who had no prior experience with the F-ZERO series, I found that I could quickly adapt to the controls by going through the tutorial. So, don’t hesitate to dive into the game without extensive preparation. Nintendo has also released a page detailing the basic techniques and course pointers every racer should know before diving into “F-ZERO 99.” It includes valuable information on rocket launches, cornering, and more. I highly recommend checking it out for some additional insights and tips.
