Trivia
An expansion kit was released in Japan for the game to be used with the Nintendo 64DD. Players could create custom tracks, custom vehicles and it featured a new improved soundtrack and access to new cups and new vehicles: the Super Falcon, Super Stingray and Super Cat. Even though it wasn't released outside of Japan due to the commercial failure of the Disk Drive, the expansion's data can still be found in the game's files.

Goofs
The four pilots behind the machines from the first game in the series: their ages are inconsistent with the events of the previous game. Captain Falcon whom was presumed to be in his early 30s is 36, the once-31-year-old Dr. Stewart behind the Golden Fox is 41, the once 34-year-old Pico behind the Wild Goose is 123, and Samurai Goroh whom was presumed to be in his early 40s is 44.

One of the best games ever on the N64!

F-Zero X is an update of the classic F-Zero game for the Super Nintendo system. Four characters are back from the original and are now joined by 26 new drivers. In addition, old tracks get major updates and there are new tracks altogether. Be sure to check out the new features. The graphics are, of course, very good and far surpass the original. The game is a challenge, but that makes it all the more fun. F-Zero X is a must for video game fans.
