#10671: nymx's SNES F-Zero in 39:21.178

F-Zero!!!!!!!

Finally, after 9 1/2 years of work on this game, it has come to an end. Through sweat, blood, and tears...I have finally produced a crazy optimized version of one of the most popular games on the Super Nintendo. This time around, I'm just going to give you videos to watch. I've thought of every kind of video that this community can use to analyze my improvements. In addition, on my youtube site, I have individual track runs for their use to make comparisons or demonstrations against human records.

Challenger: Claiming for judging.

Challenger: What a huge dedication to find further improvements to this game that was already very solid four years ago: new CPU boosts, more ways to preserve top/extra speed, the risky shortcut at the end of White Land II and the highlight: while the game aims for fastest time, an in-game timer version is included here as a bonus.

Excellent job after all! Accepting over [4637] SNES F-Zero by nymx in 39:30.36.
