As a SNES F-Zero veteran: F-Zero 99 is addictive! - eviltoast

Ok, so I’ve won the Knight League, I’ve won the Mini-Prix against S-tier opponents, I have won on every track, except Mute City I.

I simply can’t win any race at Mute City I. I tried everything, changed strategy, I tried Team Battle, I tried to race Mute City while everyone else is in a Grand Prix.

I simply can’t win Mute City.

And I’m looking forward to King League. The carnage at Death Wind II will be legendary.

    Yep, expert difficulty in the original game is not enough; the Al is capped at 432 km/h at expert. The new game is like playing at master difficulty.

    Ah this explains a lot, thanks! I already played a bit of the OG F-Zero… and now I even wish more for a new one.

    That’s okay then, it took me quite some while for my first win, I think it was B+ or A-. So don’t worry.

    Good to know, I thought I was missing something :)

    Regarding power management: Did you finish Port Town I in practice mode under the time limit for the achievement? You need to use boosts where you normally wouldn’t (well aside directly from the start).

    I wasn’t aware… I will try this later!

    And regarding the pack: I drive as if they weren’t there (while using spin attack), meaning I drive my optimal racing line and I often can clear the pack in difficulty corners fast. Well except Mute City.

    Haha, this is easier said than done, but I think my racing line is (obviously) not as great as I thought.
