How are the Game Boy Advance versions? Are they similar to the Super Nintendo?
The Game Boy Advance versions gameplay are pretty much the same as the SNES, although I found that the handling in those games both differ. If you like the SNES version, and want more F-Zero games like the SNES version, then the GBA versions are the way to go.

The original F-Zero on the Super Nintendo is VERY cool, and is a really awesome piece of software for the SNES, but even though we're all retro-gamers here we can all agree that F-Zero GX offers a far more robust experience with its intricate courses, massive loops, blistering speed, and perhaps most vital to the genre: multi-player. Plus it was made by Amusement Vision, the Sega division who made the Daytona USA and Monkey Ball series, and NO ONE makes an arcade racer like Sega.

I like GX the most, it was solid through and through. The SNES title is a great, but I was never a fan of Mode7 racers. FzeroX is one that I do not have enough experience with, but I hope to change that in a few weeks.

I love All F-Zero games, if you can get a hold of climax, take my advice and do that, its a hell of a lot of content for a GBA game.

My personal favorite, X slightly overshadows GX for me... But they are all awesome games.

I've been waiting for a DS or Wii installment for almost seven years now... :(

Damn am I the only one here who prefers F-Zero X over the other console versions? Admittedly it was my original introduction to the series, but damn it's a great game. I don't know how many hours I spent playing that when I was younger, and the multiplayer was friggin' excellent. F-Zero GX is pretty amazing too, but to me it didn't quite have the epic soul of X. Maybe it's because of the lack of the 90's speed metal intro. :lol:

GX, definitely, but all of them are very good.

Honestly i could never enjoy any of the older F-zero games. i played them well before F-zero X and GX but i didn't really care for the series until x showed up. maybe it was the mode7 that turned me off. i have never really liked snes mode7 racing games as much.

I bet most people who haven't answered F-Zero GX haven't played the Time Trial mode, which is the best. You have to use techniques to beat the staff ghosts, and the game gets very technical.
