Great songs of course! It's sad that N64DD sold just a little, cause this Expansion needed to be sold worldwide! Imagine tons of people creating their own courses, it would be great! I wish they had added those to F Zero GX, but they put only Machine Customization.
F Zero X is seriously one of the most metal games ever. Ever hook up an N64 or a console with this on Virtual console to a stereo with a sub- It will destroy your house.
To be honest I never minded it being in mono, the music is already that fucking amazing. One of the best uses of N64 sampling instruments in my honest opinion, sounds nearly CD quality, even if there's no stereo (well, without the expansion anyways).
If F-Zero X ever gets released on the Wii U Virtual Console, they should translate the Expansion Kit and add it as DLC, so then overseas gamers will finally get to experience this piece of epicness!
Moody Since they included the e-Reader levels with Super Mario Advance 4 at no extra charge, then this could become a future possibility! There's still hope!
F-Zero as a series makes me feel like I can do and achieve anything. The power these games give me has helped in rough times and I’m glad that I’ve gotten to experience it. They’re one of the hardest games I’ve played but they’re still so much fun and enjoyable. Captain Falcon is one of my all time favorite video game characters, despite him not having much of a personality, but that’s kinda what I like about him
I am so crying nerd tears right now. This game defines my entire freaking childhood. It's sad to be all grown up and not have a decent sequel to this amazing piece of art. This game is such a master piece. Big fan.
At least there's Wipe Out,which is another CLAWsome similar series of the F-Zero,if more of these racing games be released,possibly they might bring F-Zero in more ways than one
They would be able to do it no problem, the thing is it would be more labor and time intensive to do it with X, hence why they started with the original SNES version to gauge public interest on the F-Zero IP. All things considered I think it went quite well so we can probably expect to see X and GX get ported to the Switch or the next console in the coming months/years
Actually, I kinda like the Mario Kart 8 version of N64 rainbow road better, but then again I'm also a huge fan of that big-band type of music. This is pretty good, but I'm just not a huge fan of that kind screechy guitar.
They are catering to different audiences. Mario Kart goes for casual, hilarious fun, and is a game anyone can play. F-Zero is for more intense gamers. Many of the challenges are a lot more difficult, and it can be difficult for people to cope with the speed. Yet the satisfaction of completing these events is spectacular. I play F-Zero with my gaming buddies when we want something competitve; We play Mario Kart if we just want pure chaos, which, can be fun.
When i hear this Version of Rainbow Road i can Imagin Mario and his Friends looking at the Night Sky, watching Captain Falcon, Rick Wheeler and other F-Zero Pilots soaring through the Rainbow like Shooting Stars
It is astounding to me that a metal/rock remix of N64 Rainbow Road manages to capture the same feeling of wonder that the original had that the 8 version lacks
Y'know, Tara Bando also did music not only for F-Zero X, but also Mario Kart 64, and Super Mario Kart, as well. Shame they didn't use this in the original version of F-Zero X, as it's a great remix.
There is the Mario Kart 7 Rainbow Road stage, but because it's the 3DS version, its has to fight for a spot of 2. If there isn't a F-Zero stage in the 3DS version, then it could be very likely, much like how the Temple Stage was the Fire Emblem stage, with the music.
The "My music" option form Brawl will return in SSB4... ...for the Wii U. MK7 Rainbow Road's only 2 songs it has are the original MK7 & a remix of the MK7 music.
I was not aware there was a version of Rainbow Road in this game until someone told me it sounded similar to my rock cover of Rainbow Road. What a coincidence that it replaces "Drivin' Through on Max" that happens to be the only F Zero X cover I've made so far. I'm flattered, this is awesome
This literally describes the final year at school/sixth form, you’ve come so far and your at the final stretch where your skill is truly put to the test
If you call competitive gameplay completely depending on luck on whether an AI fires a blue shell, thunder, and red shells all on you at the last second, making you drop down to 5th, on nearly every race, then yes, Mario Kart is more competitive than F-Zero. But as a pure racing game, F-Zero blows Mario Kart out of the water in what you could call "competitive".
The only moment when I played F-Zero GX in 2005 in a local arcade of my hometown shopping mall(Pátio Belém,previously known as Iguatemi) and never paid attention to soundtrack,now I have been seeing this treasure of a game on UA-cam I got so curious of this soundtrack yesterday…so I decided to take a look,and I have a note about it: This specific track today would fit well in sports programs,specially those evolves mountains,skiing and winter sports
I shame Nintendo for not making this song for the original game's release. I wouldn't too much, except (as you all know) the 64DD was such a flop that it failed to reach the States where I live, thus preventing the Expansion Kit (which can only be played on the 64DD) from being officially played the USA. All I hope is that when Nintendo fixes the N64 Online mode for the Switch, they will release the Expansion Kit as well (since they also release the Japanese-exclusive "Sin & Punishment").
Now this track actually gives Guilty Gear a run for its money! Although the rest of the XPac tracks aren't amazing, this one is just mind-bogglingly beautiful ^_^.
The memories of dive bombing to the bottom of the hill at the start then hitting your brakes and spinning while half the drivers in the race barrel into you and die. Man, I miss this game
now i remeber! the buttons to press are, L,Z,R,C↑,C↓,C←,C→. then you'll here a chime and then every thing in the game will be available. Rainbow Rode is located in the joker cup. P.S. the music is replaced by the games standard music. :(
Yes, I loved GX even more. Beautiful game. I'm hoping that we can all get a decent sequel to it in the new WiiU. I'd love to see a game like this brought back with all these fancy looking graphics we got going on nowadays. Back in the GameCube days it looked fantastic. And the soundtrack was great.
Gokian's remix brought me here! I CANNOT believe I've known, but never played, F-Zero X all my life and took until now to realize THIS was in the game, expansion or not!
If you ever played Banjo Kazooie and know much about the S&S stuff, the N64 was so post too do a lot of cross game promos. So if you played both Mario Kart 64 and took save data over too F-Zero, you could perhaps unlocked Rainbow Road as a track in F-Zero. However the project was dropped after the 64's release.
AKA N64DD. Only released in Japan. Added new set of tracks and had a track editor. I could've sworn the MK64 Rainbow road and this music were in the PAL release though

Rainbow Road stage in SSB4 with this track as one of the selectable stage tunes anyone?
