This game is Grand Prix Legend, a much better and cooler game than Maximum Velocity was. Us Brits were given the benefit of receiving this game 3 months before it reaches the shores of North America, and therefore I have started creating this guide before anyone else makes one. Anywho, read on to enjoy and understand this magnificent and fast paced game, one where you might find yourself going “Aaaaaah!” when reaching speeds like 1400km/h. <<<<<>>>>> 1a: Controls. 1b: Racers.

However, be careful, if you hold the A button too long, your boost will overdrive and you will temporarily short circuit. Sadly, each vehicle needs a different amount of time to hold the A button during the waiting lights to get a perfect boost. However, I think that the stronger the vehicle’s general boost statistic is, the shorter the time you need to press and hold the A button. Jump ramps are your friend. Unless of course you have lousy landing accuracy, causing you to sometimes lose the race by crashing and stuff. But if you use the ramps at the right angle and the right speed, they can shave several seconds off your time per lap. If you and an opponent are next to each other when racing, side attack them. With luck, they shall lose control and maybe even crash. This tip is not advised if you are about to meet a sharp turn. <<<<<>>>>> The main part of the game if not Grand Prix, you can control up to 8 characters (starting from 1 at first, completing missions and unlocking others to play story mode with later). Just a reminder: On each character you can only keep a maximum of $2,550,000. Ok, onto the stories!... -- 2a: Rick Wheeler – MISSION #1: As the first mission, you can expect this to be a pretty easy, which, of course, it is! Objective: Reach the goal before Octoman! Difficulty: 1/10 The only difficulty with this course are the relatively dangerous turns, but to an F-zero veteran they should prove to be no problem at all. As it’s a mere lap around Mute City, you can beat the red car (Octoman) easily, especially since you 2 are the only guys in the “race”. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #2: Rick is now on Zoda’s tail! Get the little bastard!... But wait, who is this? Why, it’s Captain Falcon! He’s chasing Zoda too, let’s get him! Objective: Reach the goal before Zoda! Difficulty: 1/10 This is a similar to Mission #1, but this time you have to beat a harder course and come 1st. It isn’t very hard, but the corners and turns are more difficult, but shouldn’t issue too much of a problem. And it’s not a wise idea to use your boosters in this mission. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #3: Now we enter the Fire Field. Rick explains to Falcon how he has 150 year history with him. No, he ain’t an old OAP, he was a detective and chasing Zoda, they were somehow frozen and woke up 150 years later. Now onto the first official Grand Prix in story mode! Objective: Win the race. Difficulty: 2/10 Quite a difficult course to be honest, even though it is very short. It’s the mines in the area that are the reason I gave this mission an extra difficulty point. Make sure not to bump into a mine, if you do it could drive you into more, and you could die within a second. Apart from that, don’t worry. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #4: Your boss, Jody Summer, seems to be in a spot of trouble. Rescue her within the time limit at Port Town! Objective: Reach the place where Jody Summer is hold before time expires! Difficulty: 3/10 This is an easy one if you aren’t extremely careless or don’t use your boosts. Merely make it to the end of the course in 40 seconds. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #5: Congratulations, you rescued Jody! What do you get for a prize? A great big slap! Feh, women... anyway, Jody will inform you that you should be on your own case; and that Zoda will be at Big Blue for the next grand prix. Let’s go! Remember, if you like to kill people in your races; don’t kill Jack, as he’s your friend! You CAN kill him, but it’s not very nice. Now l- WHHHAAAT? Someone meddled with your brakes! Now you have to race without brakes! Ha ha ha, as if you used them before anyway... Objective: Beat Zoda or help Jack win! Difficulty: 5/10 As the objective shows, you’ll win if Jack beats Zoda, even if Zoda beats you. Jack’s car is the blue one with the yellow stripe down the middle. The main danger is this are the 2 or 3 REALLY sharp turns and the jumps, which can kill you if you miss-land. However, if you keep to your best ability and use boosts when necessary, you should prove victorious! Bounty: $500,000,000 (quite a lot eh?) CONGRATULATIONS, you have beaten Rick Wheeler’s story mode... or have you? If you have less than $300,000 when completing mission #4 (you’ll original have more than that anyway, what you do is repeatedly complete mission #4, you lose money) you’ll unlock Mission #X! MISSION #X: Ooh, lookie, it’s Black Shadow, and he’s challenged you to a race. You get transported to White Land. Objective: Win the battle with Black Shadow! Difficulty: 5/10 A relatively short course, yet a very difficult course itself all the same. The beginning lap may prove to be a challenge, but if you turn and boost and accelerate and brake correctly you’ll win with flying colours! Bounty: $500,000,000 Now you’ve beat Rick Wheeler’s story mode. You learn that Rick’s fight moves to the next stage while he’s chasing Octoman again, whatever that means... -- 2b: Captain Falcon –- MISSION #1: Our good old buddy has been hired to escort Clash to somewhere. Why you must beat him in a race however I don’t know o.o Maybe I misunderstood the cutscene... Objective: Overtake Clash before the goal! Difficulty: 2/10 Easier than Rick Wheeler’s first missions because of the simpler corners. Just beat the fat guy and move onto the next mission. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION 2: AIIIYAA! Zoda captured Clash, noooooo. Ehem, anyway, remember Rick Wheeler’s 2nd mission? This is the same except you’re Captain Falcon. Objective: Rick or Falcon must finish before Zoda! Difficulty: 1/10 This is easier than Rick’s #2 mission as you don’t have to come 1st as long as Rick does. I pity you if you have trouble with this. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #3: Zoda was switched for a fake in the race (Bio rex, if you must know). Let’s go to Red Canyon. Hey look, its’ our buddy Samurai Goroh! But he seems to think you poisoned him, prove to him that he’s no match for you! Objective: Beat Samurai Goroh in the race. Be careful: you have no boost! Difficulty: 4/10 As you have no boosts, you can’t.. uh.. boost. But apart from that, the course itself as simple, it has only 1 bad corner. You can win! Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #4: Gasp, it’s Blood Falcon in Port City, and he’s challenged you to a race! Win! Objective: Beat Blood Falcon at all costs! Difficulty: 5/10 This mission isn’t difficult as long as you keep your boosts up. The main difficulty here is mistiming jumps, which is bad. Apart from that, the race is simple. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #5: Blood Falcon did something to your machine so your stranded, noooo! *Sad Music plays* Hold on, there’s Mrs Brilliant, she offers to help for a small amount of money... she will do either of two things. If this is our first time doing mission #4, she will leave you to be stranded. If this is your 2nd time or more, she will give you spare parts. Onward to Lightning Volute! It’s Black Shadow! Our Falcy knows he captured Clash, Black Falcon says he’ll give back Clash if you beat him in the race, onward we go! Objective: Win the Race! Difficulty: 6/10 The hardest mission yet. You see the big big big jump near the beginning, no matter how fast you are going, DO NOT USE IT! If anybody out there knows how to use it safely, please contact me. So, Black Bull will be the guy who’s winning, you have to use your boosts to win of course. Bounty: $500,000,000 CONGRATULATIONS, you’ve beaten Falcon’s story mode!... or have you? If you did Mission #4 twice or more, Lisa would’ve given you spare parts. You decide to help Jody (I wonder why Jody and not Lisa) out... MISSION #X: Sand Ocean, an ocean of sand. Jody wants to beat Blood Falcon. You inform her that you don’t know what he has planned, so, we have to beat him!!! Objective: Help Jody Summer defeat Blood Falcon in the race! Difficulty: 5/10 Whatever you do, DON’T WIN THE RACE! I’m not entirely sure about the exact rules, but I think Jody must come 1st, you must come 2nd, and Blood Falcon must come 3rd or below. The race itself is simple with a lot of jumps. Bounty: $460,000,000 Yes, now you have beaten Falcon’s story mode. -- 2c. Jody Summer –- MISSION #1: Jody has entered the silence race, especially to try and beat Michael Chain, “Michael Chain must not win this race!” Objective: Beat Michael Chain in the race! Difficulty: 3/10 Easy peasy. Just win the race. This is one of my favourite courses too. Also, when you have the boosts, use the jumps to shave a second or two off your time. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #2: Michael Chain ain’t happy, too bad. Chain knows about your brothers death! He says Blood Falcon knows more info. Port Town. Jody’s gonna challenge Blood Falcon to a race in the grand prix! Objective: Enter the race illegally and beat Blood Falcon! Difficulty: 3/10 As easy as Mission 1, except the rather nasty beginning which involves a lot of bumping if you’re not careful. This is also one of my favourite courses. Remember that from the 2nd jump, use the course part to your right for a massive time shaving. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #3: Blood Falcon scampered off before you could interrogate him. Follow him! Objective: Don’t let Blood Falcon out of your sight! Difficulty: 2/10 Just follow the guy. This is the simplest of courses. But I don’t know if you have to come 2nd or if you can overtake him, but whatever. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #4: After following Blood to a warehouse, he’s about to run you over! But Rick appears and stops him. Blood runs off, and you give Rick a slap, telling him to stay on his own case. You tell him about the Big Blue course. Mute City. Jack and Stewart listen to your obsession and challenge you to a platoon race! Objective: Win the platoon members’ race! Difficulty: 4/10 Until you get your booster you’ll most likely be in 2nd place. This is a simple course, so you can win without doubt! Bounty: $50,000,000 MISSION #5 You win, yay! Captain Falcon appears at your doorstep and offers to help you beat Blood Falcon at Sand Ocean! Remember Capt Falcon’s Mission X? This is the same, but you must come 1st! Objective: Beat Blood Falcon to the finish! Difficulty: 5/10 Winning the race makes it SLIGHTLY more difficult than Capt’s X mission, but it’s still simple and a fun track. Watch for the dodgy jumps. Bounty: $500,000,000 Yay, you beat Jody’s story mode! -- 2d. Jack Levin – MISSION #1: Our poor Jacky has lost his confidence to race. In Mute City, he consults Dr Stewart, and he challenges Jack to a race. Objective: Beat the doctor. Difficulty: 3/10 The simplest of simple course, and the simplest of simple races. After obtaining the boost, you can easily overtake him, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #2: Although Jack beat the Doc, Jacky still doesn’t think he’s any good. Now at Silence, Stewart thinks he should enter the race and beat Michael Chain. Also, Jack can’t seem to contact Jody, odd... Huh? Someone tampered with Jack’s machine! Objective: Beat Michael Chain in this race using a faulty machine: Difficulty: 4/10 What exactly is wrong with the machine I do not know. You must beat that hedgehog-like vehicle and win the race! This course is like a box, watch out for the jumps, although they can be helpful. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #3: You beat Michael Chain! Impressive says the doc, still not great says Jacky. Jody has appeared! She wants to know about a bad guy named Blood Falcon, but Jack’s never heard of him. Port Town. Mr Ead has appeared, he tells Jack Jody’s headed for Port town alone! Both she and Doc have disappeared. Jody faced Blood in a race and beat him, but she’s following him to a warehouse. Hmm... you see Blood Falcon fleeing the scene, kill him! Objective: Destroy Blood Falcon’s machine! Difficulty: 4/10 Don’t win this race without killing Blood. The beat idea is to bash into him just before a jump, or crash (not actually crashing) against him into a wall, either way, he should die. Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #4: But wait, it was a fake! (Bio Rex again! I wonder if Rex is getting paid to do this...) Jack goes back to the warehouse, and see the slapping scene, Big Blue, blah blah blah, yeah... Mute City. Back at headquarters, Jack and Doc challenge Jody to a platoon race to train her for the battle against Blood Falcon. Objective: Win the platoon members’ race! Difficulty: 3/10 Same as Jody’s platoon mission, but this time you compete as Jack. Bounty: $50,000,000 MISSION #5 Jack won! Jody is sad that she didn’t win *sad music plays* Now you must compete against Rick and Zoda in the Big Blue race! Big Blue. All machines ready, a favourite is Jack Levin. Jack and Rick shall compete fiercely. Zoda is stupid XP Objective: Win the race! Difficulty: 6/10 Hardest race yet methinks. Yeah, so you must win. Zoda and Rick shall be some trouble at first, but if you get ahead quickly this should be no trouble. Bounty: $500,000,000 Yay, Jack has now got his confidence back! And Zoda is taken away. But who cares, Jack is happppyyyyyy! -- 2e. Samurai Goroh – MISSON #1: Our fat friend is in red canyon, already entering a race. “OUCH!!!...?” Someone suddenly poisoned Goroh! He feels weird... Objective: Win the race in this tough-to-handle machine. Difficulty: 6/10 The turning has been badly damaged, and this course needs good turning, meaning this mission is rather difficult. Try your best! Watch out for the sharp turns. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #2: It’s Lisa, Goroh’s wife! But she forgot who you are! (SHOCK!) He thinks Lisa poisoned him, still angry about before (?) Let’s not ask. She challenges you to a race. She’ll listen to you if you win. Objective: Beat Lisa! Difficulty: 6/10 Although this is a short race, it’s still difficult. Use your boosts wisely, but do use them of course. Remember to turn and steer well. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #3: Goroh admits he does not think she poisoned him so he won for nothing. Hmm. It’s Lisa’s amnesia that’s the problem. Captain Falcon! Now Goroh thinks HE poisoned him. Goroh challenged him to a race to get the antidote! Objective: Beat Capt Falcon in the race! Difficulty: 8/10 My, these Goroh missions are hard. Anyway, you can’t boost on this mission! Don’t ask me why, I don’t know why. So you NEED to use the track boosts to stand any chance of winning. I hate this guy’s turning... Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #4: Goroh thinks that a weakling like falcon (even though he beat falcon 10 times and Falcon beat him 135 times XD) couldn’t have poisoned him, so he continues searching. Sand Ocean. Goroh now thinks that Black Shadow poisoned him, this’ll take forever...! Black plans to make Goroh an underling. But Goroh isn’t that foolish, he knows how powerful Black is, and plans to run away. Objective: Get away from Black Shadow. Difficulty: 7/10 Not too hard compared to Goroh’s other missions. But hard compared to everything else easy. Boost and steer and GET AWAY! Bounty: $300,000,000 MISSION #5: Silence. Goroh’s rival, Antonio Guster is also entering the race. Antonio was the one that poisoned Goroh too! Both Goroh and Antonio know the battle must end here for the ttle of the galaxy’s foremost pirate! Objective: Beat Antonio Guster! Difficulty: 8/10 A very difficult mission. Remember to use the jump near the beginning to shave a second or so off, and god damn I hate this guys steering! You need a lot of sharp turns for this race. Bounty: $500,000,000 Content with Antonio’s defeat, Goroh is now a better space pirate! YAY! -- 2f. Lisa Brilliant – MISSION #1: Red Canyon. Lisa already plans to enter the Grand Prix! Black Shadow watches and doesn’t agree... Objective: Win the race! Difficulty: 6/10 Also quite difficult for a starting mission, but nevertheless very possible. Winning the race should not be too hard, but watch out as sharp turns are needed for this race. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #2: Hey it’s husband Samurai Goroh! The scene is the same as Goroh’s, about the memory loss Shadow inflicted on Lisa and stuff. Beat Goroh! Objective: Beat Samurai Goroh! Difficulty: 5/10 Boost at the very beginning, and when there’s a straight path. As your opponent has difficult steering, this shouldn’t prove TOO much of a problem. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #3: Lisa admits she’s forgotten who her husband is, she’s NOT playing and she’s NOT lying. Goroh promises to help soon... Silence. Antonio claims to know a way to restore your memory, he’ll tell you how if you beat him in the race. Objective: Beat Antonio Guster! Difficulty: 7/10 Difficult at first. But overall isn’t that hard, again this honeycomb track is difficult to master, but any intermediate player can easily clear this. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #4: Antonio is angry that her big sister (Yep!) won, and so runs away. Angry, Lisa heads for Mute City. There she meets Zoda. Zoda claims to have Lisa’s memory, and must race to get it back, or become his slave. Objective: Win the battle against Zoda! Difficulty: 5/10 This is only against one guy, so it ain’t very hard. Remember to steer well and use your boosts... jee, it’s really depressing having to give you the same advice for virtually each race. I need some sleep. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #5: Shocked, Zoda laughs nervously. He won’t let you win so easily next time though! Then he’s knocked out by Black Shadow. Huh. Black Shadow claims to have your memory now o_o;. You must race in and win the next grand prix. Lightning. Let the grand race begin! Objective: Beat Black Shadow. Difficulty: 8/10 Black Shadow, of course, is your greatest threat here. Remember, don’t use the big jump, and boost and steer!... God, there I go again with same old advice. I mean, here I am, AJ, trying to give you information about how to beat this game, yet all I seem to do is give you the same old advice over and over again. I mean, I have nothing else to do, yet I can’t even give decent and unique info for each mission. What kind of contributor am I?! Sorry, you don’t have to listen to me; I don’t want you happy people burdening my thoughts. Just go start Black Shadow’s missions... Bounty: $500,000,000 Ooh, Black Shadow’s machine APPARENTLY blew up. We all know he ain’t dead though. Lisa rushes after him, but Captain Falcon informs you that he ain’t dead. Suddenly, Lisa regains some memory. Goroh owes her money! AIIIII!! -- 2g. Black Shadow – By far the hardest part of Story Mode. MISSION #1: Lisa Brilliant has entered the Red Canyon race. Being your devious self, you must make her your underling and wipe out her memory! Objective: Do a Side Attack on Lisa’s machine! Difficulty: 9/10 Holy crap this guy’s machine is hard to control. Just bump into Lisa once and then finish the race, no matter what place you are, watch out for the jumps, they may be your end. Bounty: $(Depends on your finishing rank) MISSION #2: Now you have stolen her memory, get to your headquarters. Zoda, your underling, has challenged you, destroy him! Objective: Knock Zoda off the course. Difficulty: 7/10 This is simple, you should be able to knock Zoda off on the first lap, just get close and side attack him, from then on, just complete the race. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #3: Well that was simple. Now to go to Sand Ocean. It’s Samurai Goroh! He knows how powerful you are and tires to escape, get him! Objective: Destroy Samurai Goroh’s machine. Difficulty: 7/10 Similar to mission 2, but with less chance of death and just one lap. Just do a powerful side attack and you’ll win in no time. Bounty: $360,000,000 MISSION #4: Anyone who stands against you dies! Onto lightning to face Captain Falcon! Beat him in the race! Objective: Win the race against Captain Falcon! Difficulty: 10/10 Yes, it’s that hard. Remember this is a difficult course too, so, remember to not use that big jump at all costs and drive like there’s no tomorrow, told you this guy’s missions were hard! Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #5: Onward to your final battle... against the mighty Rick Wheeler! Defeat him at silence! Or else. Rick’s very tough though, watch out. Objective: Win the battle against Rick Wheeler. Difficulty: 12/10 HOLY @!*#... ehem, yes, VEEERRYYYY tough. I got real frustrated with this Mission-of-a-bitch, and considering the Black Bull handles like a pregnant cow on marijuana, this is oh so difficult. Took me forever, a whole loada tries. You need expert driving and a hell lot of luck to win at this!!! Bounty: $360,000,000 Wow. You beat the guy? Amazing! You might even be as good as me! ^_^ As if!!! -- 2h. Zoda – MISSION #1: They’ll try to protect Clash coz he has new technology. Ya, the fat guy. You, as Zoda, must get him. You’ve captured Clash, get away from the bounty hunters! Objective: Get away from Rick and Falcon. Difficulty: 3/10 There is a high chance of death here from all the corners, especially if you use your boosts. Remember, at the very beginning take the shorter turn, or instant failure is guaranteed. Bounty: $200,000,000 MISSION #2: You take Bio Rex’s machine and scidaddle! Now you’ve escaped, time to head back to Black Shadow, in the middle of nowhere. Overconfidence has arisen. Now you think you can take anybody, even Black Shadow. Time for a race! Objective: Beat Black Shadow: Difficulty: 5/10 Quite easy. As Black Bull is slow, using your boosts and the short cuts should make this mission a cinch! Bounty: $200,000,00 MISSION #3: It’s Lisa Brilliant! You tell her you have her memory, but you’ll only give it back if she win the race. If you win she’ll become her servant. Objective: Beat Lisa! Difficulty: 5/10 Very easy too. Just win o.o Bounty: $100,000,000 MISSION #4: Winning, Lisa threatens that she’d rather die than be your servant, Zoda tells her to calm down but is quickly knocked out by Black Shadow. Later Zoda awakens and heads towards... Fire Field. You run around excited. Yeah... “HAAAAAAAAA HA!!! HAAAAAAAAA HA!!! HAAAAAAAAA HA!!! HAAAAAAAAA HA!!!” You can’t shake the anger about Rick. Time to destroy some vehicles! Objective: Destroy all of the machines in the race! Difficulty: 6/10 There are only five, so don’t worry. You can kill one straight away. Others you can kill along the race with only one side attack each. Careful though, this is a VERY dangerous course. Bounty: $500,000,000 MISSION #5: Content with your destruction, you head for Big Blue to defeat Rick Wheeler! Now to finish your fight with him once and for all. Objective: Beat Rick and Jack in the race! Difficulty: 7/10 Not too hard for a final showdown! Just do you best for the fight for evil! =) Bounty: $500,000,000 Zoda is happy, yep, he runs off content. Finally you beat story mode, onto Grand Prix mode! <<<<<< GRAND PRIX MODE >>>>>> BRONZE CUP: MUTE CITY Tradition Park Traditional indeed. This is the simplest of all courses. Just watch out for the sharp turn about 3/4 of the way through just before completing a lap. RED CANYON Junction Hmm, quite a difficult course considering it’s bronze cup, but still very easy, the path to choose is the left at the beginning and then half way through take the right course with the speed boosters on the first lap and then left with the healing strip afterwards if you use your boosts a lot. MIST FLOW Clip Oval As it is difficult to see in this course it also proves to be challenging to a complete beginner, but as there are only 4 turns per lap it shouldn’t be too complicated. LIGHTNING Volute A very difficult course considering it’s bronze cup. Remember this piece of information submitted by RAMEN: This is impossible to do on your 1st lap. You need at least 2 boosts worth in your power meter. Right before you hit the last boost arrow before the big jump in the beginning, boost and hold the buttons in case you boosted too early. Follow the extreme left edge of the purple barrier so that if you miss the landing you won't crash. Try to land on the edge of the track to the left of the one you're just above. It should have a big blue jump ramp on it. If you time your turn just right, you should land on the purple barrier lust to the left of the jump ramp This works best with a light machine with either great turning, high speed, or just go ahead and use Astro Robin. That's what I did. Thanks Ramen! And near the end take the left course if you need healing and using boosters and right course while not boosted, have a lot of health, and have good turning. FIRE FIELD Blast Track Explosive, that’s what I say. Keep directly to the track at all costs, if you go into the mines you could volley off many and die before you know it. Be careful. SILVER CUP: SILENCE Box Rink A favourite of mine; when boosting the jumps are very useful. They’re quite useful even when not boosting. But it has a few sharp turns so watch out. SAND OCEAN Caterpillar This has many jumps, if you use them correctly they shall be greatly to your advantage, but be careful and always watch the screen, otherwise BOOM! MUTE CITY Expansion Park Similar to Tradition Park but now with a longer course and sharper turns; but still no threat really. BIG BLUE Slip Highway Hoorah for the cool music! Remember to not get slipped away by the shiny roads and turn correctly, especially near the first sharp turn at the beginning. The 2 jumping areas are quite dangerous if you are careless, too. MIST FLOW Front & Back Again you have limited sight because of the fog, proving this to be a worthy course. Be careful of the sharp turns as you may crash into one before you know it, and use all the speed boosters along the straight roads. GOLD CUP: PORT TOWN Forked Road This is a simple course; and remember, on the 2nd and 3rd jumps use the course parts to your right for a great shortcut. Mind you don’t misplace your jumps or make them too slow/fast. SILENCE Honeycomb Rink As the name says, this course is roughly shaped like a honeycomb as well as its turns, meaning turning can be difficult. Also use the jump near the beginning after using a boost only. WHITE LAND Flower A rather hard course; only use the short cut on the right petal (on the map) if you have confident turning, it isn’t that much of a short cut anyway. FIRE FIELD Wreckage Circuit Be very careful on this course. One slip and death may await you. Nevertheless it’s quite a short course itself, but you need good turning skills to not be in trouble. RED CANYON Peak Jump The few wonky corners about 1/3 of the way through the lap may be what make you lose. It’s a good idea to brake on the corners and quickly start again when turning around. Also, don’t use the jump, it gets you nowhere. PLATINUM CUP: MUTE CITY Mute City I The easiest of the easiest of easy course, even simpler than the Mute City usually used. Just remember the square-like cornering 2/3 of the way through, and you’ll pass this course with ease. BIG BLUE Big Blue I presume these were the original course from F- zero thus having no particular sub-names. This is also an easy course, be sure to use your boost a lot here as you have many opportunities. SILENCE Silence The rough square corners are what make this difficulty level of the course more than the first two. The short cut is only slightly useful, DO NOT take it if you are low on power, as there are about 30 mines on the road section. PORT TOWN Port Town II Apart from the rough turning near the end which involves two 180’ turns, this shouldn’t prove to be too much of a challenge. RED CANYON Red Canyon This is a short course, and has very simple cornering. Pass with ease. SAND OCEAN Sand Ocean For some reason there is a zigzag path 1/3 the way through and straight after that is a 180’ turn; Otherwise an easy course. WHITE LAND White Land II About 1/2 way through this course has 3 180’ turns and one 90’ turn, but don’t worry. On this course it is simple to ricochet off the boundaries, and the jump near the end is simple to clear. FIRE FIELD Fire Field They WOULD leave a dangerous mine course till last wouldn’t they? This is a difficult course with many hard corners and mines to boot. However, any skilled player should have no trouble, and everyone else be on your guard. <<<<<< EXPERT GRAND PRIX MODE >>>>>> The difference between expert and novice/standard course is very little. If you need any help on any expert Grand Prix course, just e—mail me. <<<< LINK MODE >>>> Here you have two options: SINGLE-PAK game allows you to play a course not featured on the rest of the game know as Big Blue Calm Sea. This is a very simple course and the difficulty of any remaining computer players (if the amount of human players is 2-3) is not difficult at all, only about novice. You are not allowed to choose your vehicle. Player 1 has Green Bird, Player 2 has Yellow Bird, Player 3 has Red Bird, and Player 4 has Blue Bird. They are all exactly the same except for their colours, of course. Have fun! MULTI-PAK allows you to play with any characters the person with the most unlocked characters have unlocked, any courses the person with the most unlocked course has unlocked, and I think any computer players. I am not sure as I have never played Multi Pak mode. <<< Frequently Asked Questions >>> Coming soon. <<< Secrets and Unlockables >>> Black Shadow: Beat Black Shadow’s story mode.
