A special, multiplayer version of F-Zero, a 1990 racing game. F-Zero 99 features ninety-nine players competing against each other in fast-paced, futuristic races.
F-Zero 99 is a multiplayer racing game based on 1990's F-Zero. It was developed by Nintendo.
F-Zero 99 has us participating in futuristic races on many winding, twisted tracks. We compete against ninety-eight other players at once, meaning every single race is pure chaos. To come out on top, we must squeeze our way past the other players, pick up power-ups and make good use of our energy supplies.
Energy has two uses. It can be spent to boost our speed beyond the regular limit, but it also represents our health, and we'll explode if it runs out. As for power-ups - collisions create Super Sparks, which raise our special bar when collected. Once it's full, we can temporarily ascend to the Skyway, an empty track above the regular track, on which we can easily overtake our competitors.
As we ascend to higher ranks, we unlock various cosmetics for our car, such as new colors, stickers, effects, Or backgrounds and badges to use on our profile.
F-Zero 99 was designed with multiplayer in mind. In addition to the basic mode, in which 99 players compete against each other, there are also Grand Prix and Mini Prix - a series of races - team battles and Pro Tracks. If we'd rather play alone, we can only train in practice mode and race against our own "ghosts".
F-Zero 99 is heavily reminiscent of the original game, featuring 16-bit visuals and audio.

The Internet is brimming with tons of new F-Zero fan content born out of the game's release with musicians covering and remixing sweet tunes, artists drawing their favorite characters and vehicles, and even speedrunners streaming and making videos. While the seeds of an F-Zero revival have been sowed by F-Zero 99, diehard fans know that this may just be the beginning of a new era for our beloved racing game franchise.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jordan Helm
Despite its smaller and unfortunately limited pool of content, F-Zero 99 still stands not just as another terrific application of the 99-player Royale format, but one that goes as far as to redefine any and all prior knowledge people may have had of the original SNES debut.
