[edit] Plot
The game revolves around the F-Zero races and takes place in the year 2560. Aliens have made Earth their home and live peacefully alongside humans. The F-Zero races consist of vehicles that can move at extremely high speeds. They hover one foot above the ground.
[edit] Characters
- Considered to be the main character of the game, partially due to promotional items produced by Nintendo such as a comic featuring the bounty hunter.
- The sworn enemy of Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh is the leader of a group of bandits.
- A green alien bounty hunter. His aggressive and violent tendencies are reflected in his racing style.
- An extremely skilled pilot who escaped death when he used his piloting abilities to maneuver out of the way of danger during a tragic F-Zero crash.
[edit] Visuals
Although released to the SNES, the graphics are in 8-bit with a primitive interface. Turning is implied through the track changing direction.
