I'd forgotten just how insane the speed in this game is. You've got to go right on the ragged edge to win. One missed input is death. No energy left for even one boost. It's a total rush.

Phantom Road was always so ridiculously hard, only way to win the cup is to have a huge points lead going into it the final race

[@TheRealSkeletor]

That's not the only way.

[@nujabeez6573]

Not really, phantom road is the hardest track in the game imo, but I’m usually always in the top 6 at the end of the race and 7/10 I usually come in first. It’s all about skill, memorizing the track, and learning how to manage your boost power

[@raxo00swing]

From a practical standpoint yes. If you practice it might be possible to score well. But this is probably the track where the ai seems to cheat the most.

[@jean-claudechucklee7911]

Well not the only way. Assuming you're using Blue Falcon and not doing any snaking, exploits etc... it was pretty difficult. But I'm sure there's people out that could beat or place well legitimately. Much respect to those who could.

[@craigratio]

You could play the first track just for kills. Spend 2 laps killing the rivals then nail the last lap. Worked a treat everytime. You could get to Phantom Road with a 200 point lead.

[@Omnicharlizard]

Holy damn xD I wasnt playing but even I was tense and almost forgot to breath on the last race This game and its difficulty have created memories and pride that hasnt diminished 19 yrs later

[@ShadowSora8491]

Phantom Road: Slim-Line Slits is the one track that's standing between me and unlocking the AX Cup. I aced the game before, back in my teens, but I haven't been able to do so as an adult, for some reason. I could really use a good first-party Game Cube controller. The only other track that gives me so much trouble on Diamond Cup is Sand Ocean: Lateral Shift (more like Lateral Shit to me). Otherwise, every other track on the Diamond Cup is really fun and challenging.

[@Solsuna]

Slim-line always gave me trouble, even as a teen, my work-around was just blowing up whoever came in 1st and second place in the previous tracks, by the time you get to Phantom road you *should* be far enough ahead in points to place retain 1st place

[@eatcarpet]

I use DualSense but you need such precise movements on the analog stick that I find that it's nearly impossible on courses like Phantom Road without hurting your hand.

[@VestedUTuber]

You pretty much have to be "one of those assholes who keeps killing everyone" to win the Diamond Cup on harder difficulties, because the AI blatantly cheats so much. A tip for Sand Ocean: Lateral Shift, by the way: even a total dunce like me can shift-boost on that track. What you do is that every time there's a lateral shift section, you aim your machine so that you just barely miss the track but immediately hop back on. Top-Speed World Record can reach orbital speeds on this track.

P.D. Good playthrough, this cup is the hardest one, I died a lot and I need to beat it on master to unlock AX cup, but I'm not able, the IA destroys you and is very cheap sometimes jajahahaha.

[@waxitoto1234]

i managed to complete the game 100%, oh the rage quits i went tru, but once i made a custom machine that improved my skillz, i became an F-ZERO-BEAST, but i still struggle at this cup, btw this is a very underrated Nintendo game

[@XarlioG60]

Nintendo Switch it’s the perfect Nintendo console to release new F-Zero because the amount of consoles they sold. Only with that scenario we have been able to get new Metroid an a Metroid Prime remaster. It’s for that we can expect after many years a new F-Zero or remaster of GX, what looks awesome and should be more easy to obtain benefits.

60 FPS for that console generation was near unheard of. People need to understand how good and SMOOTH this game felt compared to everything else

[@arronmunroe]

While this game is a very good demonstration of 60fps, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was near unheard of. The Dreamcast actually had a number of 60fps titles, and by the time this game came out in 2003, the Gamecube already had a number of 60fps titles, such as Metroid Prime, Super Monkey Ball, Pac-Man World 2, Star Fox Adventures and Super Smash Bros. Melee. It also can't be overlooked that F-Zero X on the N64 was also 60fps, although that was pretty rare for the N64.

[@nevercanyoucant]

best racing game ever made. They did us dirty by neglecting this series. Their reason is "we cant come up with anything new for it" ... that to me just sounds like they dont have a gimmick for it. A lot of new games come out as a refinement or iteration on the last - they do it with their other series where if there is a gimmick its not that different. Give us more tracks, maybe find some way to world build more because these locales are super interesting. .. hell give a hub city like a GTA lite set in Big Blue or something, have some cowboy bebop shit going on idk..or not... or just give me more tracks.. either way it would be badass af...

I remember trying to master wave riding just to beat that one story stage where you race Cap's rival down track. Also, think about the scale of these tracks in the F-Zero world. Average speed is 1200 kmph. That's insane. That's 100x faster than US highway speeds.

[@MKVProcrastinator]

Damn, I knew US road infrastructure could use with some refurbishing, but I never thought it would be so bad as to require max speeds that low.

[@TreuloseTomate]

Diamond is the hardest cup, imo. It's one thing to go fast enough to beat the AI, but you have to do it without dying. It's easy to fall off course everywhere in this cup, and there is only 1 extra life on Master.
