    For the Game Boy Advance pilots, watch this: • Every F-Zero Game Boy ...
    Every pilot from the console games of F-Zero. This franchise had a ton of passion for racing and style, and respect for the players. It's more than worthy of a return.
    I’d like to thank CrazyGameNerd and NSRMario, the F-Zero masters they are, for uploading the story cutscenes and profile movies. I am not skilled enough to unlock half of what they did. You guys rock.
    F-Zero is owned by Nintendo.

    The pilots are the reason why F-Zero is my favorite game series. The gameplay is amazing but secondary. Without the pilots, there is no heart.

    Another thing about Goroh interestingly enough is that he may be a ruthless thief, but he would never kill anyone. Yet we see him threaten Falcon's life on a couple of occasions.
    But maybe Falcon knows his threats are just hot air.
    And I believe Dr. Stewart played a big part in preventing any casualties from the huge F-Zero accident that happened before X, so based off of that I'd imagine he indeed is largely responsible for Mighty Gazelle's cyborg implements.

    Great breakdown of the series' racers. One of my favorite things about F-Zero, next to the fantastic gameplay, is the presentation. Most arcade-style racing games of this type are deliberately barebones in that area, which is fine, but what makes F-Zero stand out is its dedication to that 80s-90s comic book aesthetic. For a Japanese franchise, it really nails the stylings of American comics from that era. All of the characters take after common archetypes like superheroes, supervillains, bounty hunters, mutants, aliens, cyborgs, etc. It's campy and doesn't take itself seriously, but still exudes a degree of badassery that perfectly matches the tone of the medium it's emulating.
    The characters are all fairly shallow parodies, but there's just enough to each of them that they're fun and endearing. Leaving so much up to the mind of the player also lends an element of personalization to the experience of gameplay. Why exactly DOES Goroh hate Falcon so much? You're never really told in any detail, but all you know is you get an extra sense of satisfaction from running your rival off the road during a grand prix. The effort to include ultimately trivial but entertaining detail through characterization seems like a small thing, but it adds a ton of charm to the actual play experience and puts F-Zero on a higher pedestal for me than most other futuristic racing games.

  • @MetaKnuxXbeats
    @MetaKnuxXbeats Рік тому +31

    So glad to see a video that puts the spotlight on the characters. This was always a very underrated aspect of the series. Maybe if they do another game (whenever that will be) they can try to do something to flesh them out more, like a World Tour mode similar to Street Fighter 6, especially if they have Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creator of the Yakuza games, working on the game again. Hell, this can also work for a new Virtua Fighter game. Also, for my favorite characters in the series, Captain Falcon is an obvious one but I really think Phoenix really cool, I also really like Samurai Goroh, being the brash rival of Falcon who has a lot of personality but is also a decent father surprisingly enough. And I would also love to mention Princia Ramode, who I have a huge soft spot as she somewhat reminds me of Jam design wise but probably has more similarities to Daisy from the Mario series, both being tomboy princesses of a desert area.

    Mission 7, the Grand Prix, took calculating and perfect driving to even think about winning. Kill Black Shadow right at the start of the race, because he started one position behind you. Take out Blood Falcon next, because he will hug the first place for the whole race. Boosting perfectly, and taking every turn for 5 full laps and you MIGHT win.
    Or Mission 5, saving Jody....holy crap man. You get like 45 Seconds. One teeny tiny mistake, and you restart. And you have to boost 24/7, so driving as fast as possible for the Blue Falcon, while dodging doors in a tunnel and flying through gaps that barely have enough space to fit through. You also had to take every boosting arrows, or you couldn't make it because your own boosting was not enough.

    As much as I love F-Zero Nintendo scares me with their responses to F-Zero between “We don’t know what to do with it.” And “Mario Kart already exists.” I’m horrified thinking of what Nintendo would do to the series. The last game Nintendo developed for F-Zero was X which was amazing but that was older Nintendo.
    I’m just afraid Nintendo will try to gimmick the game up with stupid mechanics and stuff nobody wants. Like the Mario sports games that had to have stupid gimmicks like making fighting game mechanics in tennis and racing in Mario golf.

    That's why F-Zero are so specials compared to others futuristic games, there's a complete lore and universe in it, about pilots, and also about their machines, like Black Shadow's Black Bull being an old desamorced missile, Zoda's Death Anchor too, but he doesn't know that it's not desamorced and so his machine litteraly is a bomb being able to explode at any moment on the race
    Fire Stingray, Green Panther and Silver Rat are all the catch from an old thief when Goroh and Guster were still in good terms, but after Goroh's betrayal, Guster stole the Green Panther as a revanche, Silver Rat is also a prototype machine, it explains why it's overall weaker than any other machine except in boost power
    Others examples of lore according machine is Leon's Space Angler being pretty weak due to the lack of good quality stuff to build it after the war on his planet, on the contrary of Don Genie's Fat Shark being an absolute monster due to the amount of money spent into it, it's even said that Fat Shark's engine is litteraly made of pure gold
    And there's so much more lore ! That's why F-Zero is the best racing game franchise ever made !

You'd go through missions, getting money for vehicle parts and pilot clothes, hair and skin (if you want to make it human or from another planet) and having an alignment system, depending on who you choose as allies and rivals/enemies, as your goal is to become a F-Zero legend, vying to eventually get the attention of Captain F himself.
