Hi there, and welcome to the wonderful world of F-Zero! 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.

Ok, at the beginning of the race, you can get a boost if you press 
and hold the A button just at the right time. 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:
