A launch game for the Super NES, F-Zero showed off what the system could do with Mode 7. Although several sequels have been made, many feel that the original is the best. This game features four different racers with different abilities, as they race on various courses on different planets. This game features many hazards, including jumps, mines, magnetic rails, and vast pitfals.
