Expert Technique 1 Rocket Start:

F-Zero's quick start is a bit different from most
Nintendo racers so forget about trying to hit the
A-Button when the lights turn green. To get the 
fastest start possible, hold down your accelerator
prior to the start and rev the engine to the point
where your fuselage(s) begin to light up. Now 
listen to the engine sound. You want it to be in 
the mid-range, not the high-pitched sound that 
occurs when you continue to hold down the 
accelerator. If the engine is in the mid-range when
the race starts, you will get a fast start that 
propels you in front of the pack. If you rev the 
engine too high, you will also boost ahead but then
lose power and slow down for a few seconds.
                               

Expert Technique 2 Blast Turn:

Like the Rocket Start, the Blast Turn is another 
expert technique. To successfully maneuver tight 
corners without bumping into the guard rails, take
your finger off the accelerator (A Button), then 
press it again to stabilize your racer. Combine this
with the L and R drifting to get the best times.
                          

Expert Technique 3 Perfect Landing:

Many of F-Zero's later tracks contain shortcuts 
that let you jump ahead of the pack by using jump 
plates. Be sure to look at the track layout in the 
lower left corner of your screen to see potential 
shortcuts. But knowing where they are isn't enough.
You also need to know how to properly land without
losing speed. If you just touch down on the track,
your craft will bounce and you will slow down. You
can avoid this by pressing down on the pad just 
prior to landing.


Hidden Demo Mode:

To see an explanation of the above expert techniques
and watch the computer complete a perfect lap and 
show you when to brake and when to boost, simply 
press the Select Button at the title screen.
                               

Erase All Data:

If for some reason you would like to delete all your
scores and saved game data, simply hold L and R while
switching on your GBA. You will then be asked whether
you would like to delete everything select Yes to 
execute the function.


Reset Game:

F-Zero has a built-in soft reset. If you want to reset
the game without actually using the on/off button, 
simply press the following buttons at the same 
time: A, B, Select, Start.
