If you were to describe F-Zero as “cars going around tracks for five laps,” you’d only be half-right… because that’s only half of what makes F-Zero what it is.

Imagine a typical car race track – something you’d see in any grand prix or even stock car race. Take that track and hang it high in the air over, say… a barren desert planet, a tropical paradise, or even populated cities like New York or Chicago. Now, put the cars on the track… but replace the usual designs with extravagant, sleek, super-aerodynamic styles. Also, get rid of those old gasoline engines and worn-out rubber wheels… and replace them with souped-up jet engines, powerful turbines, and anti-gravity devices for smooth, friction-less motion. Finally, bring it all together and make those super-fast machines of the future fly along those suspended tracks at speeds like you’ve never seen, dodging the other cars and environmental hazards like bombs and magnets threatening to pull the machine into the powered guard rails or even off the very tracks themselves!

That’s F-Zero, baby. And that’s what you can expect from F-Zero Circuit racing.
