Where's that F-Zero GX screen from ?

Is it a track in the story mode ?

Looks fantastico.
 
Speaking of F-Zero GX, this reminds me of F-Zero AX...Then it reminds me of Star Fox Assault...Which was originally supposed to be an arcade title. Where the heck did the plans for a Star Fox Arcade game go?

It's an F-Zero AX track. Win it by beating every GP on master.
Just to be sure : So you can play it in F-Zero GX ?
 
I still haven't unlocked the AX tracks... but I can't be bothered to do it the hard way now. Is there a code to punch in or would it require a Gameshark/AR?
 
Man, anyone who can unlock the AX tracks the legitimate way has my respect. I don't think I'll ever be able to beat the last two cups on Master.

Wario has it, then.
He's the biggest F-Zero badass around.

Sweet, I have someone's respect! I've beat everything but the very last story mode board on very hard. That ghost is just impossible to beat.
 
F-cking game rocks so hard. Started playing it again a few days ago, and was once again blown away by the incredible smoothness, speed, and overall presentation.

Soundtrack's really grown on me too.

It's not that hard to do. I know there's a couple tracks in each couple that I suck at (I absolute despise the Slim Slits track), so it really does pay to be able to take out your opponents.

I think I had a tougher time getting the AX characters. Story Mode on very hard is the epitome of challenge.
 
I don't think I'm the biggest bad ass for F-Zero GX

I've unlocked the AX cup (I only play F-Zero on hard/master difficulty, no exceptions), but I haven't beaten all story chapters on very hard. Sorry, but I'm not gonna retry Chapter 7 very hard difficulty a thousand times just to beat it

*cue SA mp3 rant

Oh, Wario's had it for a while: all the cheapass gamer threads started it, and his inhuman RE4 performance cemented it firmly in place.

So really, I'm not surprised at all that he's an F-Zero badass.

I had a hell a time on that to. I think the really key to winning is mastering that's at the 3rd quarter of the track. If there is any place where you can significantly gain or loose time, it is here. If your not landing correctly will continue to fall behind.

Yeah, but taking out your opponents on those higher difficulty levels is (IMO) no easy task. I, for example, constantly set myself up for a nice bump only to make a minute error that sends me smashing into some damn trees or something.

That last chapter...good god. That's another thing I've accepted just not being able to beat, period.

Yes, all arcade tracks can be played on the GC version :)

only if you get a robot to complete the master mode for you....

I think a good way to get better at it is play 4th chapter of story mode where you go against Micheal Chain. The track is probably the safest one in the whole game, giving an oppurtunity to just hone you skills on the kill aspect.

Some other tips I have is to avoid using the spin. It's good for tight spots sometimes, but you will definately loose ground with overuse.

When using the side bump, I like to go into a boost before so I can approach my target more easily. It's seems hard to get a good bump going if you're not going all that fast.
 
Whoa, I salute you Wario.

There's simply nothing harder and more challenging than unlocking AX tracks in F-Zero GX.

...well there is one thing actually - finding an F-Zero AX arcade in Poland.

It's also a good idea to be leaning towards the opponent before you attack.
 
With a good car like Hyper Speeder or Deep Claw it's really not that hard to win cups on Master and unlock the AX tracks. Just have to race cleanly with good boosting and not hitting the sides. With an uber-custom like Frost Lynx G4 I would even call it easy.
 
My friend is a friggin beast at this game. he has everything unlocked, including all the AX tracks and cars and nobody can beat him in a race.

Really not that hard. :\ I think I used the Hyperspeeder to beat Diamond on master.
 
is there then an illegitimate way to unlock the ax tracks? i wouldn't mind running through them, but i have no interest in beating the game on master or whatever.

If you have yourself an AR there sure is.

EDIT: Or you can try to find an arcade AX machine and plug in your game card. Still that way you need to actually complete the race to unlock the track. The hard part there would actually be finding the AX cab as the AX courses are considerably easier than the Diamond Cup tracks.
 
I never did understand why people consider this game hard. I beat All the cups on master and have beaten most of story mode on very hard ( the last stage is damn near impossible on very hard).

If you want to win easy at this game all you gotta do is follow one simple rule. Kill as many other drivers as you can. Go all out and elimanate rivals and other drivers who are near your score. Thats how i did it!!
 
There isn't even an AR code to unlock everything by default. Just to try the AX courses out once, I had to find the code that made you win the race as soon as it started, but you still have go through all the courses/classes to unlock them that way. It's a bitch to do, but they're really cool once you get them. I never saved it though, in hopes of some day getting them legitimately :(
 
master difficulty needs to be unlocked

you have to beat each cup on hard difficulty first, then master difficulty is unlocked as a fourth difficulty

the third difficulty is hard mode




next time, they should just save us time and have master difficulty selectable at the start :P. hell, i think they took out master difficulty altogether in the new GBA f-zeros. weaksauce.
 
Oh shit. And I thought hard was a challenge. But whatever. Today I found out Kate Lane is a pretty good character.

The third difficulty is "Expert", and you have to unlock that as well, IIRC.

I'm guessing Kate Lane = Kate Allen? (AKA token black chick)

bah. what happened to codes.

I hear that! I hate it when game makers take the codes out of their games. In a multiplayer game, sure of course, I understand completely. But in a single player game? Drives me nuts!

Take F-Zero GX for example. I really like the game. I think it looks great, and its a lot of fun. But I SUCK at it. I will NEVER unlock all these cool looking tracks. I would have really appreciated a cheat code or something to unlock them, so I could get my full monies worth out of the game.
 
I 'd imagine that codes got axed for the same reason that the game cannot be transfered to another memory card--to prevent cheating in the online tournaments (liked that really worked anyway).
 
I unlocked the AX tracks legitimately. Twice, actually since I could not transfer my saved data to the newest memory cards. It was actually very fun to do it again.

To those that think it's impossible, try using Beastman's Hyperspeeder. I thought the game was impossible too until I started racing with it.

And don't forget to kill the other racers with the sideswipe move!

and that sucks too. I unlocked the AX tracks as well, but when I tried helping out all my noob friends (by attempting to copy my memory card) It failed! What's up with that?!! >:|

I've also had problems with my GX save, seems to be a widespread problem

um... no. It's not a "problem", let alone widespread. It's intentional, much the same way PSO's cant be transfered. It's to prevent cheating in the online score posts. Supposedly.
 
Newbie said:

It's not a problem, it was disabled on purpose to prevent people from cheating there way to good parts and vehicles for the online tournaments, which in the end turned into a joke because there are some exploits in the game that have allowed some skilled gamers to get impossible times (we're talking in the neighborhood of like 15 seconds).
 
Fantastic game. Best racing game ever?

I came close to getting the AX cup, beat everything on master apart from the last cup then sort of gave up. I'm sure I could do it if I had the drive to play it again.

If you play it right you should be able to simply finish the last race to beat the Diamond Cup. Just keep retiring your rivals to mix up the point spread during the entire circuit. By the time you get to Phantom Road you should be at least 80-90 points ahead.

I think I like F-Zero X just a tiny bit better. But those two are definitely my top racing games ever.
