WRITTEN FROM PAL EXPERIENCE! And just in case you don't know about PAL and 
NTSC, it's a very technical area involving the type of TV you use. If you live 
in America or Japan, you are watching an NTSC TV, which can refresh your 
screen 60 times every second A.K.A - 60 different pictures in one second. PAL 
however, which is used in Australia and most parts of Europe, can only refresh 
the TV screen 50 times a second. Because of this, the speed of the game on an 
NTSC TV is much faster than that of a PAL TV. Thus, the cars on the PAL 
version will ultimately drive at a slower speed. Hmmm.......I hope I made 
sense there. I want you to know this because things may be different to NTSC 
users. The walkthroughs are set for PAL users, but are still a great help to 
NTSC users. But please don't blame me if something in this FAQ doesn't work 
because you use the NTSC F-Zero X.

Another F-Zero X FAQ? Why? Well, this FAQ is going to be the best there is. 
Plus, being the person I am, I have started a Fast Times area, which is not 
totally complete. Well, I hope you enjoy reading this FAQ. Just remember that 
if you are unsure of anything, and the answer you're looking for isn't 
anywhere to be seen, just e-mail me and I'll see what I can do for you.

REVISION HISTORY
-------------------

0.8 - Times and walkthroughs update (8/21/00)

I completed the Queen cup for the track Walkthroughs. I also updated times 
from Nathan, David, and I.

I've e-mailed several people about times but I haven't gotten a reply from 
anyone yet...

0.71 - A times update... (8/19/00)

This is just a times update today. However, there are some killer times and 
speeds by David, Nathan, and myself. Hmm...still waiting for more people to 
join the F-Zero X group, and I need times!!!

Oh yeah, I added the times of Steven Zwartjes too. He's pretty good, but he 
might have faster times. I'm not too sure though because he hasn't replied to 
me!!!

0.7 - New sections.....making the FAQ a better place to live... (8/5/00)

Hmmm...First I credit "underscore" for making me a mod on GameFAQs chat :) 
Don't know why, I guess I was just trying to bribe him :)

I updated David's walkthrough. He has now completed all of the King Cup! So 
check that out. I have also updated a few times by David and Nathan, plus a 
few from me. Talking about me.....I JUST BEAT EVERY SINGLE STAFF GHOST!!! Such 
a big accomplishment. At the moment I'm trying to finish White Land 2 in under 
a minute. I'm so close! Yesterday I got 1:01 and I can go heaps faster! Hey, 
David's lap is still a second and a half fast than mine!

I added 2 new sections, plus I also added the "(new)" and "(updated)" signs 
next to their appropriate sections. 

0.65 - Update from David (7/31/00)

David has sent me the Fast Time walkthroughs up to the Fire Field!!! So, I've 
posted them. I've also updated times from Nathan Stinson. I now only have 2 
more staff ghosts to beat....

0.612- Very small update (7/29/00)

Just added the machines for Dan Taber's times. I finally beat the Mute City, 
Sand Ocean, and Devil's Forest staff ghosts all in one night! So, a few better 
times from me.

0.61 - A times update. (7/26/00)

Well, a 99% times update today, plus I added another Death Match tip from 
Croco64. I added Wes McKinney's times as well which is a big thing because 
he's the guy who used to run the F-Zero X World Records site at Also updated a couple of my times and a couple of 
other times. Oh, and a word of news. Patrick Wessels said that I could have 
his times so they will be in soon. 

There's an F-Zero X egroup started now and you can find it at -

Here you can talk about F-Zero X and post your times or just chat about stuff. 
You can also post your proof because it allows you to put pictures on the site 
for everyone to view. I'll see you there.

Just one more thing, I just got word that David is halfway through the Queen 
Cup with the Fast Times walkthroughs. I should post at least the Jack Cup 
walkthroughs in the next update.

0.6  - The incomplete FAQ. (7/22/00)

The main walkthroughs are only for the Jack cup so far, but there are more 
walkthroughs to follow. I'm going to add tons more times to the fast times 
section and I have heaps of updating to do. David Van Moer is writing fast 
time walkthroughs so I'll be posting them in the near future as well.

                               ************
                                 CONTROLS
                               ************

       The first part of this section tells you what the buttons do on their 
own. So, don't get upset if you see a move for a button that I haven't listed. 
In the second part of this section, I will list all of the moves you can 
perform in your craft.

Control Stick: The control stick steers the car. By tilting the control stick 
left, your car will turn left. The more you tilt the control stick, the harder 
the car will turn. But be careful, if you turn too fast, you will skid out o 
control! While you are driving on the track, press forward or back with the 
control stick, will either lower or rise the front of your car. If you are 
going at an incredibly high speed, while press back with the control stick 
(raising the front of your car), your car has a very good chance of blowing 
off the track into the city below. However, if you have the nose pointed down, 
there is little to no chance of your car blowing away. While you are driving 
on the track, tilting the nose will not be visible, but it still works.

While you are in the air, you can use the control stick to determine your 
path, your distance, and your speed. While in flight, tilting the control 
stick left or right will steer you in that direction. But while you are in the 
air, it is difficult to steer properly. By pressing back with the control 
stick, you can tilt the nose of your craft up, which enables your craft to 
cover a greater distance. However, this will also cause your craft to slow 
down. If you press forward with the control stick, you can tilt the nose of 
your craft down. This will make your craft accelerate to an incredible speed, 
while at the same time covering a less distance.


A Button: This causes your craft to accelerate. If you don't press this 
button, your craft will never move. If you release this button while moving, 
your craft will slow down, and eventually reach a crawling speed.


B Button: You can only use this button on the second and third lap. It gives 
you craft a temporary boost of speed, which is shown by a green flame that 
erupts from the back of your craft. This speed boost will accelerate your 
speed dramatically, and can determine the outcome of a race. However, the 
amount of boosts you can perform in a race is limited, and has a downside. 
Every time you boost, you decrease the amount of energy that surrounds your 
craft. If you use up all of that energy, you will be unable to boost. Also, if 
you use up all of your energy, there is a very high possibility that you will 
be destroyed by either a rival car, or a hard wall.


R Button: This button will cause your craft to drift to the right. However, 
you will lose speed. 


Z Button: This button will cause your craft to drift to the left. However, you 
will lose speed.


L Button: This button allows you to see how much time separates you and the 
leading rival machine. If you are coming first, it shows how much time 
separates you and the rival machine coming second.  


C-Down: I'm kicking myself as I write this because up until today I thought 
that there wasn't a break in F-Zero X. Well, this is it. It acts as a hand 
brake, and slows the car down, eventually to a compete stop. At high speeds, 
this button is necessary when going around corners, to stop you from going out 
of control.

The same applies while your craft is in the air. This button will slow your 
craft down very quickly while you fly.


C-Up/Right: This button allows you to view the area behind your craft. While 
holding this button, you will see everything behind you, and will have no 
vision of the things in front of you. So, I wouldn't use this when there are 
corners nearby.


C-Left: This button is only useful while playing with 2 or three other 
persons. In the quarter-split screens, there isn't enough room to put both the 
course radar and the lap display on each player's screen at the same time. So, 
this button will switch between the two.


Start: This button pauses, and unpauses the race while it is in progress.


Control Pad: At first I thought that the control pad served no use but David 
told me otherwise. First of all you can use it in the main screen and options 
menus.

But most important you can use it on the machine settings screen. You can use 
the control stick to nudge the arrows left and right. This gives you more 
accuracy and helps out a lot.


                                 *********
                                   MOVES
                                 ********* 

DRIFT TURN --- Right + R / Left + Z

This turn is much sharper than the normal turn using the control stick. It 
lets you tackle the tougher turns, without you craft sliding out of control. 
However, using this turn WILL slow you down.


SLIDE TURN --- Right + Z / Left + R

I never use this turn, it isn't affective, and slows down your craft too much. 
It causes your craft to slide while it turns, but lets you regain control 
whenever you want. This turn allows you to turn very sharp corners. And as I 
have already said, this move slows you down a hell of a lot.

However, if you choose a slider and put the machine settings at high 
acceleration, this turn will make your machine actually go faster! Just make 
sure that while you're turning you don't hold down R or Z - a simple tap to 
start you sliding is all that it takes. For more information on sliding check 
out David Van Moer's tactics. He describes it pretty well there.


SIDE ATTACK --- Z - Z (tap Z twice) / R - R (tap R twice)

This move is very affective when you want to bash a rival craft out of the 
competition. This move covers you in a red shield, and shoots your craft to 
the left or the right depending on which button you use. If you smash into any 
opposing vehicle(s), there is a very high chance that they will be destroy or 
severally injured. This attack is very accurate, and very fast. However, it 
will slow you down. This move can also be performed in the air.

                 
SPIN ATTACK --- R + Z - Z (hold R and tap Z twice) / Z + R - R (hold Z and tap 
                R twice)

This move will cause your craft to spin around in an attempt to knock out 
opponents around it. In crowded areas, this move can be very affective, and 
can destroy several crafts at a time. As with the other attack, this move will 
slow you down, but not much. This move can be very affective when performed in 
the air.

                            **********************

The Energy Bar: The energy bar serves two purposes ---

1. The energy bar measures the strength of the shield that is surrounding you 
craft. Every time you bump into the side railings, or get hit by another car, 
part of your shield will deteriorate. Once your entire shield has been 
depleted, another blow will totally destroy you.

2. When you gain the power to boost, the energy bar acts as a fuel tank. Every 
time you boost, a portion of your energy gets sucked away. Once you have used 
up all of your energy, you can no longer boost! Plus, you still have to worry 
about being totally destroyed.

To regain your energy, you can do two things. You can drive through pit stops, 
those long strips of pink, and you can destroy other vehicles to gain a slight 
amount of energy. When your energy bar is totally full up, you can't get any 
more energy.


Pit Stops or Refill Zones: I just mentioned them while talking about the 
energy bar. The pit stops are the long stretches of pink area that you find on 
each course. When you drive through these areas of pink, your energy bar will 
gradually refill. While you are in a pit area, nothing can harm you, and 
nothing can deteriorate your energy bar. So, boosting in the pit lane won't 
decrease your energy!


Stars: Every time you destroy a rival craft, you will be awarded with a star 
that will be sown on the right side of the screen. If you get five stars, you 
will be awarded with an extra ship! However, getting 10 stars in a race will 
earn you no extra rewards. :)


Crafts: When you start a Grand Prix, you will own a certain amount of crafts 
depending on what difficulty level you are racing on. When you fall off the 
edge of a course, or are destroyed, you will lose a craft. Once all of you 
crafts have been destroyed, you will be forced to exit the Grand Prix and try 
again from the very beginning.  


Lap Display: This will tell you what lap, out of three, you are currently 
doing.


Speedometer(km/h): The little square on the bottom right-hand side of the 
screen tells you the speed your craft is travelling.


Position Display: This tells you what place your craft is currently at. 30 
being last place, and 1 meaning you are leading the pack.


Course Radar: This gives you a birdseye view of the course. You are 
represented by the flashing light-blue circle. The dark-blue circle represents 
the current leader of the computer-controlled craft. If you are in the lead, 
the dark-blue circle will represent second place.


Top 6 Display: In the Grand Prix mode, you will see 6 pictures of drivers on 
the left side of the screen. These tell you who are currently in the top six 
positions, with the top of the 6 pictures in first place.


Time Display: This tells you how long you have been racing for.


Yellow Arrow Boosts: These are scattered about every course. If you run over 
them, they give you a speed boost similar to the boost caused when you push B. 
There need no energy, and can range in size.


Traps: These things are little pyramids that are placed around only a couple 
of the course in F-Zero X. They throw any machine up in the air, slow them 
down, and take away a tiny little piece of the machine's energy.


Ice and Dirt Sections: These slow your machine down, and course your vehicle 
to slide more often than not. A word of advice, don't drive through these!


Jump Plates: These look like long Traps, but they don't harm you in any way. 
These cause your machine to jump up into the air. These can cause your 
machine's speed to increase dramatically if used correctly.

                                BASIC TACTICS
                              ***************** 

DON'T TURN TOO FAST! The biggest mistake you can make in F-Zero X is turning 
too fast into a corner, and sliding out of control. Not only can sliding 
destroy you if you ram into a wall with low energy, but it slows you down 
dramatically, and can sometimes determine the outcome of a race. However, even 
on sharp turns, there are ways to stop sliding:

1. Drift Turn: This turn is very affective, and is 100% slide free. If there 
are any tight corners, with little or no enemies around, this is the turn for 
you.

2. Side Attack Turn(or jumping): This is the best turning technique, and maybe 
not for beginners. While turning, this move will cause you craft to 'jump' 
over to the right or left, and turn very quickly. It stops sliding, and is 
very useful in tight S-bends.

3. Tap The Accelerator (I'll abbreviate it as "TA"): If you are going around a 
fairly sharp corner, and feel no need to use the drift turn or jump turn, but 
there is still some risk of sliding, letting go of the accelerator can grip 
you to course. This almost totally demolishes the risk of sliding, and there 
is an unnoticeable amount of speed loss.

4. I have never used this next technique while racing, as I don't find it 
useful and there are better ways to go around corners. This technique is to 
brake as you turn a corner. Using the brake will keep you from losing control, 
but it slows you down too much to be of use. I suggest using any of the three 
techniques mentioned above.

So, there should never be a time where you slide out of control!


DESTROY YOUR RIVALS! I'm sure you all have times where there is someone who 
always gets in first place, and you're sure you have no way to possibly win. 
Well, there is a simple strategy that can put the fastest of your enemies out 
of the picture. The idea is to destroy your rivals, so that they have no 
chance of getting any points. It can put you into the lead by a long way, and 
can set them back to the bottom of the list. This is a very, very good 
technique, and is very effective. If you are having trouble getting rid of 
your rivals, check out the 'Killing Tips' part of this FAQ.


GET INTO FIRST PLACE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! It is best if you get into first 
place as soon as possible. It gives you a clear area in front of you where 
there is no chance of running into crafts that are in front of you. It lets 
you turn corners smoothly, and gives you plenty of room to go at your max 
speed without any slow downs.


NO RAILS = EASY KILLS! On some levels you encounter parts of the course that 
have no side rails, these are the ultimate areas to destroy other crafts. 
Simply drive along side them, and give them a little tap off the edge of the 
track. You'll soon hear a little "DING", and will be awarded with a star. 
However, be careful. If you miss your target, there is a pretty good chance 
that you will fall down instead of your rival craft. Obviously, this is a very 
bad thing.


DON'T USE UP ALL OF YOUR ENERGY! Don't boost until you cannot boost any more. 
It will leave you destroy-prone, and a nice target for rival crafts. One nick 
off a wall when your energy is gone, and you're toast. Also, try to preserve 
your energy so that it runs for the entire lap until the pit zone where you 
can refuel. If you run out of juice early in a lap, it will give other crafts 
ample opportunity to gain a higher speed than you, and get a long way in front 
of you.

                            ********************
                              DRIVERS AND CARS 
                            ********************

In F-Zero X it is essential that you choose the right driver to race with. 
Some are excellent, some just plain suck. Here's the list of all the drivers. 
Because some of you might have lost your manuals (as I did for a LONG time), 
I'll add everything the manual did.

But first of all, here are the definitions ---

The scale ranges from A to E, A being the best, and E being the worst.

Weight: The weight of the machine tells us (obviously) how heavy the machine 
is. The heavier the machine, the larger the top speed it is able to go. But 
don't be fooled, if a heavy machine has a bad boost, it will never reach the 
speed of a light machine with a good boost.

Body: This tells us how well the machine can withstand damage, either from 
other vehicles, or driving into rails. The better the body, the more damage 
the machine can withstand. It also helps with the demolition of other rival 
machines.

Boost: This tells us how well the machine can boost. This depends on the 
power, and the length of the boost. Having a good boost in most cases is 
essential the winning.

Grip. This tells us how well the machine can turn around corners. A bad grip 
is a sign that the machine will slide often. Good grip tells us that the 
machine can round corners with little chance of sliding. Grip is also very 
important.

IMPORTANT! The pilot in the machine has absolutely nothing to do with the way 
the machine drives. You are the only person controlling the machine, and the 
pilot of the machine does not effect the craft IN-ANY-WAY.

Oh, and one more thing. The pilot is on the left, and the machine is on the 
right.

FIRST ROW
------------

CAPTION FALCON   ----------------------   BLUE FALCON
-----------------                      -----------------

Age: 36                                Weight: 1260 kg
Story: He's a well known bounty hunter Body:   B
as well as a great F-zero pilot. Many  Boost:  B
mysteries surround Capt. Falcon ---    Grip:   C
the only thing we know is that he's    Number: 7
from Port Town.

Opinion: This is a good machine, but it has nothing that makes it stand out 
from the pack. There are far better alternatives. However, this is a good go 
for beginners because it is an all rounded machine. Third best racer in the 
first row. 

DR. STEWART   -------------------------   GOLDEN FOX
--------------                         ----------------

Age: 41                                Weight: 1420 kg
Story: He's been living in the fast    Body:   D
lane as a doctor. Dr. Stewart became   Boost:  A
interested in the F-Zero X GP after    Grip:   D
the death of his father/ The Golden    Number: 3
Fox belonged to his father.

Opinion: This machine is a bad choice for any driver. It may have good boost, 
but lacks in both other areas. A bad machine indeed.

PICO   --------------------------------   WILD GOOSE
-------                                ----------------

Age: 123 (or so he says)               Weight: 1620 kg
Story: Pico used to work for a special Body:   B
unit of the Poripoto army. He's        Boost:  B
aggressive, but calm. Rumour has it    Grip:   C
that he is also an infamous hit man.   Number: 6

Opinion: This is the second best machine in the first row. Has a decent boost 
and a pretty good body. Excellent for intermediate drivers, but more difficult 
for beginners. 

SAMURAI GOROH   -----------------------   FIRE STINGRAY
----------------                       -------------------

Age: 44                                Weight: 1960 kg
Story: He's one of the best bounty     Body:   A
hunters around and the leader of a     Boost:  D
group of space thieves. Goroh's reason Grip:   B
for joining F-Zero is because of his   Number: 5
hatred for Capt. Falcon, his rival. 

Opinion: An OK machine, but it is by far the machine you should choose to race 
with. Generally, body is the least important feature, and doesn't really serve 
much use if you want to win a face. Not a speed vehicle.

Age: 24                                Weight: 1150 kg
Story: Jody is one the top rookie      Body:   C 
pilots in the circuit. While Jody      Boost:  C
doesn't have much experience, many see Grip:   A
her as a dark horse.                   Number: 2

Opinion: The best machine in the first row. It has excellent grip, which is 
very important in a machine. A very good choice for beginners, and a good 
choice for intermediates. 

MIGHTY GAZELLE   ----------------------   RED GAZELLE
-----------------                      -----------------

Age: 36                                Weight: 1330 kg
Story: Three years ago, he was injured Body:   E
in a freak racing accident and         Boost:  A
miraculously survived. Due to the      Grip:   C
damage his body sustained, he became a Number: 1
cyborg. Others have tried to stop him
from competing, but he is determined
to win.

Opinion: An underestimated machine, because it takes a very good pilot to be 
able to master it. It is the fastest racer in the first row. However, there 
are better alternatives to this machine, such as the Twin Noritta. But if you 
only have the first row accessed, a choice not for the faint hearted.

SECOND ROW

BABA   --------------------------------   IRON TIGER
-------                                ----------------

Age:18                                 Weight: 1780 kg
Story: This young rookie has           Body:   B 
incredible intuition and is very       Boost:  D
flexible. After enduring a great deal  Grip:   A
of training, Baba will make his racing Number: 4
debut this season.

Opinion: This machine has very good grip, and a pretty good body, but lacks 
any speed. Boost is crucial if you're going to win the Grand Prix, and this is 
not the best choice.

OCTOMAN   -----------------------------   DEEP CLAW
----------                             ---------------

Age: Unknown                           Weight: 990 kg
Story: He represents the planet takora,Body:   B
an enemy of the Milky Way Federation.  Boost:  B
Takorans are intent on showing their   Grip:   C
advanced intelligence to the universe. Number: 8

Opinion: Once again we have an average machine. There are better machines to 
choose from.

DR. CLASH   ---------------------------   CRAZY BEAR
------------                           ----------------

Age: 54                                Weight: 2220 kg
Story: A former F-Zero engineer, it    Body:   A 
has been Dr. Clash's dream to become a Boost:  B
pilot. He is participating in the race Grip:   E
with a machine he designed and built   Number: 29
himself.

Opinion: This machine just plain sucks. Sure, it has a good body, but the grip 
is one of the worst in the game. Some machines can use their bad grip to an 
advantage, but this machine cannot. A bad choice for anyone. 

MR. EAD   -----------------------------   GREAT STAR
----------                             ----------------

Age: Unknown                           Weight: 1870 kg
Story: This cyborg was developed by    Body:   E 
the mysterious development group EAD.  Boost:  A
His purpose is to test his I.Q. and    Grip:   D
debug his man-made programming.        Number: 9

Opinion: One of the worst machines in the game. Not a good pick indeed. Bad 
grip, and a bad body. The good boost does not balance out the disadvantages. 

BIO REX   -----------------------------   BIG FANG
----------                             --------------

Age: 8                                 Weight: 1520 kg
Story: This dinosaur is a product of   Body:   B
bio-technology. Through this           Boost:  D
technology, his brain has become very  Grip:   A
similar to a human's. If he winds the  Number: 15
Grand Prix, he will prove that he's
superior to humans.

Opinion: I used this machine a lot when I was an intermediate driver, and I 
won the Queen Grand Prix with it on expert, so it must be pretty good. 
However, lack of boost will pose a problem in the harder difficulties and 
courses.

BILLY   -------------------------------   MAD WOLF
--------                               --------------

Age: 6                                 Weight: 1490 kg
Story: Billy is the first monkey to    Body:   B 
participate in F-Zero. He's out to     Boost:  B
prove that monkeys are the superior    Grip:   C
species.                               Number: 11

Opinion: Just like all of the other machines with the same attributes. I give 
the same advice.

THIRD ROW

SILVER NEELSEN   ----------------------   NIGHT THUNDER
-----------------                      -------------------

Age: 97                                Weight: 1530 kg
Story: Neelsen has participated in     Body:   B 
more Grand Prix races than anyone, but Boost:  A
has yet to win. His age has drawn      Grip:   E
criticism. Because he is resentful of  Number: 23
the newer machines, the other racers
are avoiding him.

Opinion: This car is an excellent slider. If you don't know what a slider is, 
check out the fast times section later in this FAQ. The grip is on E for a 
reason, and you can take advantage of this. This car is very good for very 
windy courses; the type you will find in the Joker Cup. However, this car is 
definitely not for beginners. But a must for experts......like me! :)

GOMAR & SHIOH   -----------------------   TWIN NORITTA
----------------                       ------------------

Age: Unknown                           Weight: 780 kg
Story: These Furikake people always    Body:   E
act as one person. They are a very     Boost:  A
strange race. While the rules don't    Grip:   C
allow pilots to use their machines for Number: 22
two rides, they were approved by the
committee. Their machine is the 
lightest in the circuit. 

Opinion: The best machine in the game!!!! This machine rocks! It has the best 
boost in the game, and is the fastest machine in the game. A craft not for 
beginners, but a craft for intermediates. However, this craft is best in time 
attack, and doesn't fair that well in the Grand Prix. So, look through the 
Grand Prix walkthroughs to see which Grand Prix course this is the best for. 
But overall in Time Attack, this is the vehicle of choice.
