F-Zero Beginnings
About this entry
F-Zero Beginnings is a creative ROM hack of the original F-Zero for the Super Nintendo, developed by Alejandro. Serving as a prequel to the original game, it takes place before the famous pilots joined the Grand Prix. The most notable feature is that players control the 'Turbo Snails'—the non-playable CPU bumper cars from the original game—instead of the standard high-speed machines. These vehicles have unique stats and are generally weaker, providing a high difficulty level. The hack includes modified 'Legacy' tracks and incorporates courses from the Japan-only BS F-Zero series.
