After playing SuperLineBros’ other hack F-Zero: The Revenge, I decided to give this one a try too, and I loved it just the same. From diverging paths (Silence, Sand Ocean), maze-like designs (Port Town 2, Sand Ocean), to just straight-up jump-fests (Big Blue), this hack has something for everybody! It also does a good job at doing something that every good ROM hack should do, which is providing a fresh challenge to players who have mastered the source game without going overboard.

But speaking of, there are a couple nitpicks I have to address. On a few occasions on Mute City 2, White Land 2, and Mute City 3, after touching the inner guardrail going around certain turns, the “Reverse” message came up and I kept losing positions for no reason despite never once actually going backwards. Also, a minor nitpick. On the Port Town tracks, there is such a thing as jumping too far. If you fly too far off one jump, you can actually overshoot the next jump and crash out. Port Town 2 is still my favorite track in the hack, but I had to address that.

Also, in response to resq’s review, Death Wind 2 is, in fact, possible with the Fire Stingray. You just can’t crash into anything to lose speed before the jump on the first lap. Once you survive that, you can just use your boost right before the jump on subsequent laps.
