One more question. So far, what do you think of the soundtrack of the game?

Its techno crap...Not like the music matters much in a racer. I just beat the third cup on novice, now on to intermediate...and ive played through chapter 2 in story mode...I havent had much time to play it yet.

I got my grubby hands on it today.. and wow, it's really, really fast. It was so fast I felt like I was going to throw up five hours in. It's just SICK.

I love it.

The music, on my set, sounded really good. If you don't play the game with a subwoofer or a high definition set, you're really missing out.

You have no idea how much this game is pissing me off right now. I rented it and I love it, but I f***ing lost around 50 times in the third level. Geeze! I always come .1 seconds behind and lose in 2nd place.

And in my honest opinion, I have to agree with Jason, the music is pretty techno crappy, I liked the original music the best, but this game is awesome, just too hard!

Yea, that third story mode level was a tough one. You gotta hit EVERY jump pad, and use your boosts perfectly...Just keep trying. I finally came across the origional F-Zero music in the game...you cant beat the origional theme song.

About 2 hours ago, I beat the third story level on my 63rd try. This game is very awesome. Even though it can be very hard, I can't stop playing. Now I move on to the 4th story level... S**t, I can't imagine how hard this will be.

And Jason, original FZero music? Seriously? All I heard was Mute City (first level in Ruby Cup in Grand Prix) that was sort of original. Will the future story levels have original songs from the first FZero? I hope to hear the original Big Blue theme.

Yeah I'm loving it too... just got it an hour ago. I was playing the last level in the second Grand Prix on novice... i was in first place in the grand prix but i fell off the level every time and lost all of my lives... like 20 seconds into the level there's a jump and i just was going too slow to make it... pissed me off. Great game though!

What character is everyone using?

Dyne · 08-31-2003, 02:19 AM

Meh, I don't find it too hard. =\ I'm just about to beat all the master courses.

I'm using the Blue Falcon most of the time, but if I need speed I revert to my custom craft. BBB. Very good everything, and pretty light too. Just a bit harder to control than the blue falcon.

Oh yeah, are you guys using L and R buttons to lean into turns? You won't get the boost after a turn if you don't, and you need that.

I think the hardest part of the game is trying to snake. That's hard. Still can't do it.

Just wait until a later story mode level...you'll hear it.

Guess what? I found a code to unlock the original Big Blue theme. There is a easy way and a hard way.

The original way to unlock it is the hard way, it's to beat all of Grand Prix on expert, but believe me, this song makes the game awesome. Brings back a lot of great memories. Here's the code for the easy way.

Go to the Customization mode and enter the F-Zero shop. At the screen where you can choose to buy machines, machine parts, or miscellaneous items, enter the following button code:

Z Left Right Left Z Y X Z Left Right Left Right Z X Z X Z, with the direction inputs entered by the digital directional pad.

A soft sound should play. Now you can purchase 'Sounds of Big Blue', which is basically the option to use the remixed Big Blue theme at the Big Blue tracks, for 99 tickets at the item shop.

To activate, in practice or time attack mode, when selecting the course to run on, press Z after highlighting any Big Blue track.

Trust me, it's awesome and it's worth the 99 tickets. Wow.
