There was never one is F-Zero X on the N64, i read through the manual and there was only the spin.

There has always been a side attack.
My custom ship is BBB and only 1860kg, its a hotrod, especially with The Skull at the helm.
I use Kate Elen, she is excellent, she is very responsive and fast.
I have now completed Standard Mode Ruby Cup in 1st place (just coz Black Bull was in the lead I had to assasinate him on the 3rd track just so i could come 1st overall, lol) Killing people is much easier now with the side strafe attack, doesn't slow you down as much as the stupid spin attack.
It rips the competition a new ass as well, i completed ruby and sapphire cups on novice and standard on my first go. That black shadow mission on very hard is still giving me a headache though, the turn just before the 3 dirt patches ALWAYS catches me out, im at my wits end.
And i think Micheal Chain's car on the chain gang mission is made of bloody kevlar, its solid as a rock, at least on very hard.
Oh, and I took over an hour trying to do the first Story Chapter on Hard. Came SOOO close so very many times, then I finally did it and realise you need to finish the three laps as welll as collect all 30 orbs. I don't even want to know to what Very Hard is like.
Oh, and I did the second chapter on Hard, which is fairly simple.
I'm still quite amazed as to how brilliant this game has got. At first I thought it was rubbish and, quite frankly, it was. The mix of exciting tracks and superb AI as you progress really does make all the difference. Plus the game is starting to just that little bit faster, previously it was just too slow, especially since I expected what I saw in the videos.
Making my own ship rocks, too. Even if it looks brilliant and handles like a pig without any limbs, it's one of my favourite features so far. Making an Emblemis pretty crap, but I've managed to create an alright one, so I'm happy.
Anyway, whoop, got too many games to play I don't know if I'll even get the chance to give F-Zero the attention it deserves, what with Viewtiful Joe, Worms 3D (for multiplayer mostly), Rebel Strike and Billy Hatcher coming soon.
Brilliant :-D
Insanely fast, beautiful and very busy.
Excellent game.
That will be all.
