I Made History In F-Zero 99

The F-Zero 99 community has always wondered what the hard limit of a race was, as nobody ever seems to take THAT long to complete a single race. Most attempts occurred on the final track in the game, which is Fire Field, due to how long it takes to beat it. These attempts have typically ended via rank out or time out, which is likely due to being too far behind the other racers. But what if... you were the only racer remaining?
I was trying my hand at acquiring KOs in Classic through a private Classic Mini Prix, as KOs are pretty hard to come by in Classic races. Despite not getting my hands on many, the CPUs were dropping like flies, at a rate of which there would be no one left to survive the Mini Prix. With only five survivors left to take on Fire Field, it made me wonder if the pilot count could get any lower. Two of the CPUs crashed out in the middle of the race, whereas the final two crashes were KOs. One for a CPU, and one for me.
As the only surviving pilot in this Mini Prix and no more machines to hunt, I decided to test how long I could stand the timer before the game booted me from the lobby. In this video, you'll finally know what the limit to the race timer is. Or at the very least, what it could be...
Who would've thought that an attempt at KO farming would turn into something as groundbreaking as this?

We are F-Zero racers, of course we take the game to its limits.

In my entire racing career, the mere THOUGHT of something like this happening could have never crossed my mind, and this man just said "Hold my Wild Goose". I wonder if any of the other players sticked around to see what happened...

Wait, there's a 5-minute cap?!? Climax gave you 10 minutes in Time Attack and Test Run!!

[@ewanmonty6227]

35 min cap is laim

[@Waterstone33]

I've always wanted to try this, but I never had enough people. Crazy good find!

[@Blu_Blur_575]

@@Waterstone33 Surprisingly, managed this by myself! Requires insane luck, though!

[@ewanmonty6227]

it should be 99:99:99 as time cap

[@bitzero000]

next try to cross the finish line after 35 minutes

[@bitzero000]

My guess is that NSO begins the routine to shut down the lobby at 35 minutes, and then that information is sent to your switch and received a few seconds later. but what would happen if you crossed the line?

What is that awesome Fire-Field remix?🤘

[@Blu_Blur_575]

It's a Death Wind × Fire Field remix similar to the mystery track mashups found in F-Zero 99! You can find it at the end of the video! :)

@@Blu_Blur_575 So it's Death Field? Cool!

[@Blu_Blur_575]

@@Nicl-As-05 You can call it that. I just decided to name it Fire Storm lol.

[@Nicl-As-05]

@@Blu_Blur_575 Yeah but I mostly like to name the tracks when I see them. If the track has Wind, then it makes sence to call it Fire Storm. If not, then it's called Death Field. But I wanna get Red Ocean!

Hey man good race yesterday

Same to you!
