This is the ultimate 2D F-Zero game, borrowing advanced techniques like drifting, different turn angles, and spin attacks from the 3D ones, and also BOOSTO FAYA from the anime. Speaking of the anime it also includes three machine/driver combinations only seen in the anime including the Hyper Death Anchor, not seen in GP Legend. Really good soundtrack for being on a GBA chip.
The biggest complaint and the reason I would recommend GP Legend instead is that being 3 laps per track the races become very short.
