Bishop Series - Cloud Carpet - Icarus Circuit Shortcut
When you get off the bank of ice/snow, use a boost from the
previous lap and go straight. You will save time and avoid damage
to your car on that sharp turn.


Knight Series - Ancient Mesa - Split Circuit Shortcut
Once you reach the second bank of ice/snow before the jump, use
the boost you have gained on the previous lap and make the
sharpest left you can. You will land on the other side of the
track before the finish line. This saves time and avoids crashes
on that sharp turn.


Knight Series - Stark Farm - Third Circuit Shortcut
When you reach the fork in the road, take the right. When you
reach the jump, do not jump across. Instead, take a right while
you are in the air to land on the other road. You will save damage
to your car from not continuing the jump.


Obtain ranking password
Select "Ranking" at the main menu. Select the desired series,
game, and course. Then, hold L and press Up, Right, Right, B, Left, B,
Right, A at the course ranking screen. The course name at the top
of the screen will be replaced with a password to confirm correct
code entry. This password is used by Nintendo to confirm your
course rank in their contests.


Jet Vermilion
Go to Nintendo Of Japan and enter your name exactly, and press
"Confirm". You should get a password which will allow you to get
the top secret car Jet Vermilion. Enter that password in your game
to unlock the car.

At the name entry screen, select "Entry". Then enter T&T as a
name. Start a game under that name. When you reach the machine
selection screen in Grand Prix mode, enable the "Password screen"
code and enter V-J4+6V9A-30 as a password.

At the name entry screen, select "Entry". Then enter YAZZO JR. as
a name (including the space). Start a game under that name. When
you reach the machine selection screen in Grand Prix mode, enable
the "Password screen" code and enter 2-8+o8T2YQ30 as a password.

Enter H-M2XLT8A-30 or 3-KLY9V8?-30 as a password. Then, press 
Up at the vehicle selection screen.

Sent in by Enrique

A button rapidly and make sure to use the R and L buttons for balance.

Complete a linked game with another Game Boy Advance using only one game
cartridge.


Unlock Sly Joker
To unlock a fifth car, the Sly Joker, beat the Pawn, Knight and Bishop 
series on Standard difficulty.


Unlock Jet Vermilion
Here's the ultimate F-Zero racer. Jet Vermilion is insanely fast when 
you're boosting and has the strongest body out of all of the machines -- but 
it's so hard to get, most gamers will give up and run away in horror. You 
have to actually complete each racing series on Master difficulty with 
each machine (chess icons next to the track selection screen show you 
which series you have already beaten with the respective racer). If that 
sounds too difficult, you can also unlock Vermilion by completing the 
championship 255 times. Which one sounds more appealing?


Unlock the Queen Series
Like the Stingray car, the Queen Series (with five additional courses 
set on Crater Land, East Ten Side, Laputan Colony, and two tracks on 
Fire Field) is unlocked by beating all Pawn, Knight and Bishop tracks 
on Expert difficulty.


Ranking Password
Nintendo has designed F-Zero with tournament play in mind. Since you 
can't upload your best times or take screenshots, the game features a 
built-in ranking password system. To obtain an encrypted password for 
your best track times, select Course Ranking from the main menu, then 
select your name and the track you would like to get a password for. 
Now hold the L-Button and press up, right, right, B, left, B, A. Your 
tournament entry password will now appear at the top of the screen 
and you can write it down. Nintendo uses passwords like these to let 
you enter into official tournaments, so keep an eye out for them.


Unlock Championship Mode
Not to be confused with the standard Grand Prix Mode, Championship 
is a hidden option that lets you race a Time Attack challenge against 
a ghost car on a specialy Synobazz track. The mode also offers the 
ability to see a replay of the winning run, complete with button 
commands display. To unlock it, register your name in the rankings 
of every race in every series.


Unlock Master Difficulty
To open up the hidden Master difficult level (in addition to (Beginner, 
Standard and Expert), you have to first beat a series' Expert difficulty 
level in the Grand Prix Mode. Note that this will unlock the Master 
setting only for that series. You still have to beat the Expert setting 
on the other cups as well to get access to all the Master classes.


Expert Technique 1: Rocket Start
F-Zero's quick start is a bit different from most Nintendo racers -- so 
forget about trying to hit the A-Button when the lights turn green. To 
get the fastest start possible, hold down your accelerator prior to 
the start and rev the engine to the point where your fuselage(s) 
begin to light up. Now listen to the engine sound. You want it to be 
in the mid-range, not the high-pitched sound that occurs when you 
continue to hold down the accelerator. If the engine is in the mid-range 
when the race starts, you will get a fast start that propels you in front 
of the pack. If you rev the engine too high, you will also boost ahead -- but 
then lose power and slow down for a few seconds.


Expert Technique 2: Blast Turn
Like the Rocket Start, the Blast Turn is another expert technique. To 
successfully maneuver tight corners without bumping into the guard 
rails, take your finger off the accelerator (A Button), then press it again 
to stabilize your racer. Combine this with the L and R drifting to get 
the best times.


Expert Technique 3: Perfect Landing
Many of F-Zero's later tracks contain shortcuts that let you jump ahead 
of the pack by using jump plates. Be sure to look at the track layout in 
the lower left corner of your screen to see potential shortcuts. But 
knowing where they are isn't enough. You also need to know how to 
properly land without losing speed. If you just touch down on the track, 
your craft will bounce and you will slow down. You can avoid this by 
pressing down on the pad just prior to landing.


Hidden Demo Mode
To see an explanation of the above expert techniques and watch the 
computer complete a perfect lap and show you when to brake and 
when to boost, simply press the Select Button at the title screen.


Erase All Data
If for some reason you would like to delete all your scores and saved 
game data, simply hold L and R while switching on your GBA. You will 
then be asked whether you would like to delete everything -- select 
Yes to execute the function.


Reset Game
F-Zero has a built-in soft reset. If you want to reset the game without 
actually using the on/off button, simply press the following buttons 
at the same time: A, B, Select, Start.
