F-Zero X was one of those arcade racers that supposedly "show you the future of racing". It was very fun at the time, up to 4-players (most games at that time only supported 2-players) and over 30 courses and machines. Lets take a look at it.

There are two ways to die, either lose health by smashing into a racer or a wall, or fall off the track
