F-ZERO was a classic on the SNES, and now it makes its first appearance on the Nintendo 64 with F-ZERO X. As with the original game, you get behind the controls of a rocket-powered hover car and race to the finish line on tracks that twist and turn through the air. However, you will have to avoid the other 29 cars on the track or else face the consequences. You can choose from 30 different cars and learn the ins and outs of every one of the 24 tracks in the Practice mode. When you want some competition, try to win a Grand Prix Cup, get the fastest lap time in a Time Trial, or destroy the competition in a Death Race. You can also challenge three friends in the Versus mode. Can you survive the speed and action of F-ZERO X?
