F-Zero GX is a futuristic racing game developed by AV & SEGA and published by Nintendo. The game features thirty drivers & racing machines and twenty courses. The racing machines are differentiated by attributes such as Body, Boost, Grip (graded on an A-E scale) and Weight (measured in kilograms). The player can also select to give their machine either more acceleration or maximum speed or any mixture of the two. The boost meter, accessible on lap 2, functions as a health meter and manual boost reserve, so the player must negotiate their health with how much boost they want to use. When the player runs out of health or is knocked off the track, the race ends and the player must restart the race. The player can regain health by running through the pink energy field on the tracks.
F-Zero GX and it's sister game F-Zero AX released only in arcades, were developed on the Triforce arcade board, developed by Nintendo, Sega and Namco. The game received generally positive reviews with the one caveat that some reviewers found the game too difficult.
F-Zero GX players can bring their memory cards to F-Zero AX machines and use the information stored on the memory card to unlock AX tracks and racers on their GX game. If an F-Zero AX machine is not available, the racers can be unlocked by finishing the story mode missions on the Very Hard difficulty setting.

Placing highest gives out 100 points so a perfect cup is 500 points.Vs. Battle
