Its the last game in the F-Zero franchise to date, but it's certainly no slouch even when compared to X and GX. It's totally playable without any issues because of a fan translation. I played this game on mGBA at a higher resolution and graphical enhancements and I thought it looked great, the sprites are really high quality and the track backgrounds are pretty nice but are awesome when they are sharpened by the emulator. The game controls well and has every single racer from F-Zero X as well as several characters from the anime that were included in F-Zero GP Legend, the only characters missing are the newcomers from GX. So with a roster of 34 racers each with diverse and unique machines as well as 53 total courses spread across the different difficulty modes, there is a lot of content here on a pretty easy to digest high speed racing game. The track editor is also really great, it's very simple and its easy to make a track that's fun to race on. The game lets you save 30 tracks and exchange them via a link cable but even through emulation you can share tracks through the password system. You can have a password for your track generated and then anyone can enter that password to create that track instantly on their game cartridge to race on, which feels really ahead of the curve. I definitely recommend you seek out this game and it's translation patch if you can, it's a great F-Zero game and one of the best racers on the GBA that deserves more attention and recognition as its a great handheld counter part to the console titles that inspired so many racing games.
