Recorded on Snes9x Improved v6
Settings that are enabled:
WIP1 timing
Fake Mute desync workaround
Sync samples with sound CPU
  • no warps or passwords used
  • no programming errors or glitches used
  • aims for fastest possible time
F-Zero is a Racing game of the future, with machines that reach more than 470 km/h top-speed
This movie shows a World Record timeattack of Mute City 1. It costed me extremely much time and nerves to test many different driving lines and find the fastest one.
The lap times are:
  1. 25"41 (starting from 0 km/h without booster)
  2. 23"19 (to reach this time I had to sacrifice some speed)
  3. 23"21 (the result of the speed-disadvantage but got a very good speed for the 4th lap)
  4. 23"17 (this time was only possible because of the very good speed-advantage of 3rd lap, caused speed-disadvantage for 5th lap though)
  5. 23"19 (the most optimized lap even with speed-disadvantage)
Total Time: 1'58"17
World Record Times of Mute City 1 (skill based):
Total: 1'58"41 (0"24 sec slower than this time)
Fastest Starting Lap: 25"42 (0"01 sec slower)
1-Boost Lap: 23"22 (0"05 sec slower)
Did a nice hard-turn at the end without changing the final time
For those who want to continue the World-Record breaking are welcome to use this movie further so hopefully we can once get a full movie with World Records for all courses.
Enjoy!

I’ll take the blame and decide; this will be published in the concept demo category.

I think the description should include "Takes damage to save time."

This run completes this same level in just under 25". But unfortunately, no one seems to want to do a full run of this game, which is a shame because both this and the one track run of Top Gear are rather embarrassing. :/ EDIT: It also looks like this glitch would work in every level, which would severely limit the entertainment value of a full run, unfortunately.

I don't think that glitch works in GP mode so no dice. In relation to the single track issue, I thought the rules were changed so single level/track runs weren't accepted in the future. They'll remain until someone submits a full run.

Why would we want a full run of Top Gear when the most interesting track is so boring? F-Zero might be marginally more interesting (unglitched)

I personally wouldn't, which is why I'm in favor of just removing those two movies for not completing the game, as well as for just being bad.

I agree.

I'd like to see a full F-Zero run. I think it's an interesting game to watch. I find Top Gear to be meh though.
