Sunday Longplay - F-Zero Beginnings (SNES ROM Hack)

Hack by @AlejandroChannel : https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6375/

In the spirit of F-Zero with the recent release of F-Zero 99 on the Switch, I thought for this week's Sunday Longplay I'd play a rather interesting hack of the OG F-Zero on SNES. Welcome to F-Zero Beginnings!

F-Zero Beginnings is a prequel to the OG F-Zero, where before the iconic cars and their drivers we know now joined the Grand Prix, there was only one type of car on the track, known as Turbo Snails (also called Bumpers in F-Zero 99). All the cars have been replaced with different types of Turbo Snails which have different levels of speed and handling, though all are below average compared to the iconic four. Your boosts even only have half the duration! So with all this in mind, expect a new level of challenge from the original game!

The Purple Snail is the best choice for beginners, with its acceleration and turn speed, though it is extremely susceptible to guardrail damage. The Green Snail has the highest top speed, but terrible acceleration and resistance to CPU crashes, and it also has very slippery turning. The Brown Snail is so slow that Expert and Master modes are impossible to beat with it, and the Explosive Snail is even slower and explodes upon any sort of damage be it from guardrails, mines, or enemy cars. Imagine playing F-Zero 99 with your car perpetually in Power Down mode.

For this playthrough I'm playing Master mode on the Knight and Queen Leagues with the Purple and Green Snails respectively, and then for the King League I'm taking the ultimate challenge with the Explosive Snail! Like I said, Master and Expert modes are impossible to beat with the Brown and Explosive Snails because of their absurdly low top speed, and I also initially tried it on Standard but that turned out to be impossible as well (ranked out on Port Town 2). So the Explosive King League Challenge had to be done on Beginner.
