In my opinion the peak of the series. F-Zero X has an infinite skill ceiling. There is a reason why there are so few TAS of this game. Many mechanics and exploits that require a deep understanding of the game, and feels designed and tuned for the N64 controller. Amazing heavy metal rock and synth soundtrack that fits well with the death race aesthetic. I don't think the sequel developed by Sega could really capture the magic of X. If F-Zero were ever to return, I would hope it follows this game rather than any other in the series.
