F-Zero GX is a return to the iconic racing series, where you'll join Captain Falcon and other drivers from across the galaxy. The game features high-speed racing through challenging futuristic tracks against up to 29 opponents at any one time, with a new story mode that delves into the backstory of each driver.
The gameplay focuses on driving skill, as there are no weapons or power-ups to rely on. Instead, you'll need to use your abilities to navigate the track and outmaneuver your opponents. With 15 tracks to complete, you can earn prize money to upgrade your vehicle with new parts and increase your speed.
Additional features include a 4-player split-screen mode, customization options for your vehicle's appearance, and plenty of unlockable extras to discover.
Save data from F-Zero GX can be shared with the F-Zero AX arcade game.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
F-ZERO is a futuristic, high-speed racing game where players pilot advanced anti-gravity vehicles in dangerous, high-stakes competitions across colossal circuits. The goal is to outmaneuver opponents and win the Grand Prix for prize money and prestige, all while risking life and limb.
Story
About F-ZERO
High-speed thrills and cutthroat racing drive crowds all over the universe wild! The long-awaited F-ZERO X Grand Prix made its return a year ago, and it was Captain Falcon in machine #07 who took the crown.
Now, speed freaks who know no fear are back once again. Some come in the name of honour, while others covet the final prize. Already the motives of the pilots are clashing, and the races have just begun.
F-ZERO MACHINE
An antigravity unit known as the "G-Diffuser System" allows F-ZERO machines to drive at hyper speed while hovering just inches above the track.
Through the use of micro-plasma engines, the maximum speed of these machines can exceed the speed of sound.
F-ZERO
The F-ZERO Grand Prix dates back to the 26th century. This spectacular race features the most technologically advanced machines running through several circuits of fast-paced hovering action.
F-ZERO is known as the fastest and most extreme race in the known universe, and it's sponsored by the wealthy elite who organised the F-ZERO Execution Project. The winner of the Grand Prix receives big prize money and a great deal of prestige, but many pilots have been lost pursuing the prize.
F-ZERO CIRCUIT
The circuits have anti-gravitational guardrails and are set on the outskirts of cities situated high in planet atmospheres.
The dynamic structure of the courses are colossal in scale, as most circuits feature a single lap that spans over six miles.

How to Play
Slide Turns and Drift Turns
Use Slide Turns and Drift Turns to maneuver around tight corners that are impossible to handle using only the Control Stick.
Differences Between the Two Turns
Using the Slide Turn will reduce your speed during turns, making it easier for machines optimized for Maximum Speed to take a speedy curve.
Drift Turns will allow you to increase speed while taking the turns, which is advantageous for machines optimized for Acceleration.
Changing the Camera Angle
Change the camera angle during the race by using the + Control Pad. There are four different viewpoints to select from.

Spin Attack

Getting Started
Insert a Memory Card in Slot A, set your Game Disc in the Nintendo GameCube, close the Disc Cover, and turn on the POWER Button.
When the title screen appears, press START/PAUSE to start your game.
Registering Your Player Name
If you are playing for the first time, you should first register your Player Name. Use the Control Stick to select the characters then press the A Button to enter them or the B Button to cancel.
Enter up to eight characters to create your Player Name. Once you have finished, select "END" to confirm your entry.
Creating Game Data
In order to save, you need to create Game Data for F-ZERO GX on the Memory Card inserted in Slot A. You need 4 blocks of free memory to create your Game Data.
The progress of the game will then be automatically saved to your Memory Card.
Title Screen
When you're finished creating the Game Data, the title screen will appear. Press START/PAUSE to start your game.
60Hz MODE
60Hz mode (unlike 50Hz mode) is not supported by every TV. On TVs that support 60Hz mode (PAL60 compatibility) this game can be displayed at 60Hz for an even clearer display with higher quality.
To activate 60Hz mode, select 60Hz MODE when "This version is compatible with 60Hz mode. Please select mode." is displayed.
If you have chosen 60Hz MODE and your television does not display this mode correctly, please turn OFF the power to the NINTENDO GAMECUBE and then turn the power ON again before selecting 50Hz mode.
