OH LOOK IT'S THE SMASH BROS GUY OMGGGG!1!111!

A great translation for F-ZERO, a game with insane and frenetic gameplay at its core, into the Battle Royale/99 formula, and it just fits like a ring on a finger as well because of how decision-based and agressive the races can become. Oh and they made the original courses wider to fit 99 players in them as well, of course LOL
The reward system here is great too, since not only you have to focus on securing a good placing, but also place better than your rivals which are decided per match. So in case you crash or end up not doing so well, you can still get rewarded for outplacing rivals and feel some grade of accomplishment, now that's just swell!
Everything else is great too, both old and new: Many cosmetics, decorations and color palletes to unlock, the music and gameplay are very faithful to the original, the game balance feels great, the list goes on.

So yeah, the best 99 game in my opinion. I can get why F-ZERO fans were mad at this when it was shown for the first time, but even if it's not anything exactly "new" for the series it's still an amazingly well executed take on the OG, and given the positive feedback in general I wanna believe Nintendo can try and make something fresh out of this.
