No wonder I couldn't get past Chapter 1 in story mode! After doing it on Easy, and Chapter 2 not appearing, I thought you had to play through it on Hard. Then after FINALLY doing that, Very Hard appeared, but still no Chapter 2! So after trying Very Hard for a bit, and getting quite sick of it, I decided to have a look round the other options.

And what do I find?

In the blummin' Customise option, in the items bit, you have to buy the next chapters!!!

grrr-argh!

And after I spent AGES on the first chapter trying it on impossible difficulties trying to unlock the next one.

grrr...

Anyways, bought Chapter 2 and it was pretty good. Much more fun and interesting than Chapter 1, which kinda reminded me of that bit in Fun House where they had those go-karts and had to grab the coins.

Then I bought Chapter 3! It was nice to play a new track that I hadn't seen before, but couldn't be bothered to play it much as I'd been playing for over an hour now and needed a rest!

Anyways, I can just say that I'm finally starting to enjoy F-Zero a bit more, eventhough I still think the last track on the 2nd cup is a stinkfest!

:D

heh, I finally decided to try the 2nd cup on Novice rather than normal earlier. Came first in all tracks without using any continues, until I got to that LAST track. Used about 3-4 lives, and came in something like 23rd! Still managed to win the cup overall tho as I'd come first in all the other tracks!

Heh sorry, couldn't resist it. The second cup is annoyingly difficult though, even on easy.

OI! :P

Took me that long to figure it out, because I got fed up with the Grand Prix mode before Xmas (constantly flying off the track on last track 2nd cup), and so I haven't bothered to play it since Xmas!

I was just in the mood to play it earlier so I booted it up.

Yeah that is rather annoying that you can't buy the chapter at the same place where you play them... design flaw methinks.
