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.

I've been playing this a good amount. I'm getting pretty good, but I haven't really gone outside the novice difficulty because I've been trying to get through the story mode (which isn't as easy as I expected, heh).

But my fav. track is the last one in the Ruby Cup (I can't remember the name). It's somewhat challenging, but not too challenging. That's what I love

Me too!!! I love that level, it's called Aeropolis, and I am really good with that level. I beat the computer by 11 seconds on that map.

Also Dyne, how do you do the snake cheater... or whatever they call it? This is what I am talking about...

I know it has to do with L and R and left and right, but I tried, all I get is sharp turns that make me go slower.... That video goes over 4000km/h... Wow... just wow!

PS: I just beat Stage 6 and tried the first stage on hard... Haha, I guess I won't be playing this game on hard....

DarkMaster · 08-31-2003, 09:04 PM

The diamond cup is awesome, the second version of aeropolis kicks ass, one of my fav courses. I got up the 6th chapter in the story mode, after that its unbelieveably hard.

this game is excellent though, too bad it wasnt online.

Very true dyne. They would have to release it as a BB only game or something like that!!

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.

DarrenMcLeod · 09-01-2003, 08:16 PM

What are the best ways to win tickets? The only ways I've found so far are winning Grand Prixs and winning story mode chapters. Also, can you win more tickets for beating GPs you've already beaten?

Yes, yes you can. That's what I did. You can beat the same Ruby Cup on the same difficulty and always get 15 tickets all the time. But I recommend choosing a different character each time...

Jason1 · 09-01-2003, 09:58 PM

My character of choice is that green guy...Pico I think is his name...Ive beaten all courses on Standard...now its on to expert...and im on Chapter 7 in story mode...its very hard.
