 The F-Zero series had to hit the GBA because the GBA has extra buttons. These were positioned as shoulder pads and so you could turn around sharp corners without hitting the brakes. A great game and one of the best racers on the console so far, even beating Mario Kart Super Circuit! Captain Falcon, Dr. Stuart... It's been a quarter of a century since they piloted their way to fame as F-Zero racers, and as time has passed, their days of glory have faded into something of a resembling legend. The extreme danger involved in F-Zero has caused some to call for an end to these races, but now a new generation of pilots has emerged and is looking to continue writing the sport's history. It is a timeless quest for victory, fame and fortune. Mankind had settled into a period of relative calm following its great leap into space. among those recovering from the initial space race frenzy were the powerful merchants of the day. They had learned through experience that, while the far reaches of space offered incredible trading oppertunities, the enourmous distances also opened them up to the ravages of piracy. They realised that they couldn't afford the cost of being constantly robbed, so they settled into simply regulating and defending their existing territories. Their conservative business practices put a lot of high-priced space pilots out of work, and so there came a rise in the number of daring men and women looking to get rich quick in the only way left to them...as F-Zero pilots. |
 Hot Violet Falcon's replacement? Quite a good character, especially for beginners. Her boost start has a nice speed and distance, but she is also very average, meaning that you may soon need to adopt talents from another racer. Pilot: Megan Age: Unknown. She is rumoured to be a karate expert. Top Speed:422km/h Boost Speed: 579 km/h Boost Duration: 6 seconds Body Strength: 69/100 Turn Performance: B Balance: C |
 FireBall Age long booster... This guy has little turn ability, despite his grade, so cornering is difficult. He is faster than the Hot Violet, but his boosts worse. I'd suggest leaving this guy alone unless you find him perfect to your racing style, which is very rare. Pilot: Mickey Marcus Age: Estimated to be 35. Female fans adore him because he's always a gentleman. Top Speed:440km/h Boost Speed: 565 km/h Boost Duration: 6.5 seconds Body Strength: 82/100 Turn Performance: C Balance: B |
 J.B. Crystal The needy Green-alien dude. One for those who like to be slow-but-sure. She's quite slow normally, but her boost lasts a particularly nice amount of time. This means those who like ace-but slow abilities witht he added taste of long boosts, will find her perfect. Pilot: Jane B. Christie Age: Claims to be 20 years old. She looks young, but rumour has it she's misrepresenting her age. Top Speed:418km/h Boost Speed: 560 km/h Boost Duration: 9.5 seconds Body Strength: 63/100 Turn Performance: C Balance: A |
 Wind Walker/Crazy Horse Crappest Balance award goes to... A very bad racer. His turning is poor, dispite his grade, this may be becaue of his balance, and also a weak vehicle. Pilot: Nichi "The Sweep Man" Age: 28. He's a very quiet man of immense pride. Top Speed:428km/h Boost Speed: 585 km/h Boost Duration: 5.3 seconds Body Strength: 50/100 Turn Performance: A Balance: D |
 Sly Joker/Dirty Joker One of the best... This is the first secret character, he's got great turning, a nice top speed, a great boost time and only really lacks in boost speed. Pilot: Lord Cyber Age: Around 40. He has blood ties to royalty and titled nobility. He lives in a castle in a remote area and has lots of servants, but the source of his income is unknown. Top Speed:436km/h Boost Speed: 591 km/h Boost Duration: 3 seconds Body Strength: 75/100 Turn Performance: C Balance: A |
 Stingray *Tune of Stingray*Stingray...Stingray! Dadadada.Lala! Dadadada.Lala... A more average secret character. He has the advantage of the longest boost of all the characters, his body's good and he's quite fast, but his long boost is very slow indeed. Pilot: Alex Age: 30. Alex, a popular ex-pro football player has energy to spare. Top Speed:460km/h Boost Speed: 525 km/h Boost Duration: 12 seconds Body Strength: 85/100 Turn Performance: C Balance: C |
 Silver Thunder A long time waiting... This guy quite a good racer, but fails in he takes a LONG time to charge up for the starting boost. Pilot: Blitz Wagnar Top Speed:464km/h Boost Speed: 589 km/h Boost Duration: 3.7 seconds Body Strength: 90/100 Turn Performance: D Balance: B |
 Falcon MkII Yup, he's back to race his guts out again... The best pilot in the game? For those who need a good turning ability, mixed with great speed and a long boost, yes. For everyone else, he's just good. Pilot: Kent Akechi Top Speed:448km/h Boost Speed: 573 km/h Boost Duration: 7.2 seconds Body Strength: 66/100 Turn Performance: C Balance: B |
 Fighting Comet Fighting? Yes. A Comet? No. This is a brilliant all-round craft. Pilot: Kumiko "The Bullet" Top Speed:412km/h Boost Speed: 593 km/h Boost Duration: 9 seconds Body Strength: 56/100 Turn Performance: D Balance: B |
 Jet Vermilion The guy you NEED the net for... So secret this is this man. He's VERY poor on turning, and has low acceleration, but his boost speed's amazing. Top Speed:456km/h Boost Speed: 602 km/h Boost Duration: 4.2 seconds Body Strength: 100/100 Turn Performance: E Balance: B |
