1. Introduction
===============
F-Zero X, is an extremly awesome and fast game, after playing this game Mario
Kart 64 will seem like a game your grandma should be playing instead of
yourself. The cars, oops the tech people will kill me if i call them cars...the
"hovercrafts" are extremly awesome, the drivers are cool, unlike some of the
dorky racers out there, and the music is addicting! The graphics are OK, the
music as i said before is great and the gameplay ain't half bad either, now onto
the rest of the FAQ.
===========
2. Controls

As with any game, this one has controls too. Huh? you thought it was so
futuristic it was voice activated? Sorry, NOA hasn't made that yet...Anyways

3. Basics
=========
Here are the basics of the game for you beginners out there.
After the first lap, you will be able to boost at will(B Button), if you try to
boost before the 2nd lap, it will not work. When you boost, you will gain a fair
amount of speed for a short period of time, however your energy will go down a
bit. If you have no energy left you will not be able to use the boost function
regardless of what lap it is.
If you destroy an opposing car(Grand Prix Only) you will get a yellow star(err,
are we playing Mario 64 now)no no, you don't use these stars, however if you get
5 of them you will get an extra life, if you find yourself struggling try
ramming a few cars.....
Run over those "yellow arrows" on the ground to get a speed burst(similar to
pressing B)
Run over "that pink stuff in the road" to get more energy, the longer you stay
on it, the more energy you get!
Avoid the "light blue stuff" on the ground, it is ice, and it is hard to regain
control of your vehicle after flying over this stuff.
And finally, DON'T CRASH INTO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!
==================
4. Tips And Tricks
==================
Always when you are in a refueling area, use the boost! you will not only get a
huge boost, as always, but when you exit the fueling area you will still have
all of your energy, cool eh? I thought so..
If you are not in first place at sometime(like that's ever happened to me..)then
try and take out whoever is ahead of you by the most, if they die, they get 0
points, and you can cruise to victory......Or you can do this when you are in
first to the person in second, if you feel like really dusting everyone(which is
what i always do)
When going into 90 degree turns, let off of the accelerator a bit, but don't hit
the brake button unless you HAVE to, I.E. you will either crash and burn or fall
off the course.
When going off of jumps, your vehicle will sometimes, well, fly a ways, while
you are in mid-air, your controls are like an airplane, down is up, up is down.
To get more speed off of jumps hold the control stick up before and during the
jump. This works extremly well for me, and it should for you too!
