F Zero is one of the reasons why you should own an SNES. It is beautiful. It is very fast for 16 bit and the levels are all classic. I don't understand how people can say things like "this game isn't very fast" or "the vehicles run as slow as a turtle" because I think this game is so fast that sometimes it's very hard to control your vehicle in some courses like Death Wind and Fire Field. These people may not know that you get an extra boost of power that you can use after the 1st lap. The music too is classic Super NES at it's best. For as old as this game is it still looks and sounds great and for me the gameplay remains as fun and as fresh as it was in 1991. This game is different than the other F Zero games that came after it in that when you get ahead of the other racers or get first place you get a 1 up which makes it fun. The challenge is when to know to boost and get ahead of the other racers. Overall I say if you liked the other F Zero games you should check this one out since it was the one that started it all.
