      @@JPs-q1o except the hud never read anything close to that. all of the vehicle stats in that game were in Km/hour, not miles. and 800 was only possible with boosts or jumps. the fastest non boosted speed was 478 Km/hour. which is significantly slower than 800 MPH

      ​​@@PeteZam I've only ever seen a car reaching 800+ km/h when using a boost, never a jump. A well controlled jump will increase the acceleration rate momentarily, helping the car reach non-boosted top speed faster, but it will not go past non-bosted top speed (which is indeed 478 km/h)

    The melody line of this song is SO GOOD and so long and complex. So many amazing composers did fantastic work back in the 80s for these games. There was no reason for them to make 16+ bar long melodies, then play them ONCE and jump into another 32 bar phrase... It really contrasts with today's 8 bar looped melodies. Hell, 8 bars is even long for today's music.
    And they did this on ancient bad synthesizers with 4 channels.

There are for sure examples to the contrary, especially when dealing with weird time signatures, but yeah. Don't let it freak you out or stop you from exploring music.

      It's your own fault for making it so entertaining to watch your facial expressions. 😋 At first hyper focused and after a while getting into the flow of the song. Later just having fun with some hand movements you seemed to really enjoy and just going with it.
      I'm not much of a musician (just fooling around sometimes on ocarinas), so just watching your hands for an entire video would seem quickly getting rather boring for me. It's not like I can really follow what you're doing anyway, especially with this tune. 🤣 It looks really impressive, but anyone can see (and hear) that in a few seconds. With dual setup people can choose where to look anyway, so win-win.

    man I just love this kind of stuff because it really helps you consider how complex these video game compositions are. I kinda always took it for granted that my favorite games had nice background music, but there is just so much massive talent and gorgeous visions put into games beyond what is on screen.
    Never have been one to just play video game or movie soundtracks in my free time, but I totally get why its many people's favorite genre of music.

Your skill is mind blowing, and so inspirational! Thank you for all of this awesomeness.

    F-ZERO is one of my favorite franchises from Nintendo. Since F-ZERO GX I have longed for a new true installment on home consoles that could give me that over the top adrenaline pumping racing that pushed me to my limits on the master difficulty with the amazing music tracks and speed. I got goosebumps while listening to this and it made me emotional because it reminded me of all the hours I have played all the games and from when I discovered F-ZERO by pure accident when I bought my first used N64 in 2004.
    Thank you for playing one of my favorite music tracks from the franchise.
