Impressive doing all of them at max speed, it’s actually harder on a few of these chapters even if you don’t use the snaking tech, I’m not sure for the others but in my experience max acceleration at least makes chapters 6 and 8 easier, 6 because the margin for error is actually bigger, partly because by going slower it’s easier to drive in general but also because coming into contact with another vehicle or the rail is less likely to screw you over instantly. Kind of the same with chapter 8, deathborn is not actually very good and most of the challenge is just driving well on this track. Max accel makes it so you can run into walls with less of a penalty. So yeah props dude

[@wingbeltcreations5455]

I thought the same thing, but when you pick up the game, it all feels natural, and is pretty fair to learn. Just make sure to adjust the controller calibration in the options.

[@rebirthphoenix5646]

Chapter 6 looks intimidating but as long as you learn to use the shoulder buttons effectively, move the stick very subtly, and go max acceleration, it’s actually one of the easier chapters to finish. If you wanna 100% F-Zero GX, the hardest ones really can be Chapter 1, 3, and 7 on very hard especially.

[@Draycos324]

Whenever you leave the track outside of a jump (sections without barriers or if you somehow escape the magnetism) and land safely, you get a jolt of speed for some reason. “Shift boosting” is the term for intentionally doing this which quickly adds up to extreme speed if done consecutively. Because the penalty for failure is an instant crash, it’s extremely risky.

I bet Sega just picked random staff members to be the voice actors

[@theonewhowrotethis5681]

Nope, they're professionals. Captain Falcon's VA also voiced Kalas from Baten Kaitos and Jacky from Virtua Fighter while Jody's VA also voiced the President's advisor (also named Jody) in Metal Wolf Chaos. It's the same group of voice actors that handled titles like Mega Man ZX Advent, Mega Man X7, and Shenmue. In fact, ALL of Metal Wolf Chaos's roles are covered by people who also voiced characters in this game. President Wilson was voiced by Ryan Drees, who did Goroh, Bio Rex, and Guster. Richard Hawk was voiced by Jeff Gedert, who did Leon, Octoman, and Shioh. And, like I mentioned before, Jody Crawford was voiced by Julia Yermakov, who voiced Jody Summer.
