F-Zero X is a video game for the Nintendo 64 console. The game sold 56,457 copies during its first week of sale in Japan. The North American release of F-Zero X supposedly suffered from a three month delay due to Nintendo of America's then release policy of spacing the release of first-party games out evenly.

F-Zero X is amazing. The new graphics are incredible. There are many new characters and new levels of play. In this image you are playing againest five other players in the 26th century, unlike in F-Zero for Snes which took place in the 21st century.

F-Zero X has five Cups in total whose names are based on face cards. Four of them contains six courses each. Initially, only the Jack, Queen, and King Cups are available to choose from and each vary in difficulty from beginner, intermediate and expert respectively.[8] The Joker Cup can be unlocked by coming first overall in Jack, Queen, and King Cups on standard in the Grand Prix. Beating these four cups on Expert unlocks the Master class difficulty level and the X Cup.[15] The "X Cup" is actually a track generator that "creates" a different set of tracks every time when played. The randomized track elements can vary from simplistic and straightforward to highly complex and intricate.[8]

Where F-Zero X comes up short is in its lack of visual moxie. The space-age vehicles look nice, but seemingly all of the N64's polygonal horsepower was used to bring them to life. You won't see sparks when you collide with another racer, while the track itself is just a series of blurry, solid-hue textures. For many courses, the surrounding city is a flat image that's been horribly stretched out to fill the background. Buildings and billboards, which are a frequent sight in F-Zero GX for the GameCube, are rarely seen. No one expects the N64 to produce the same visuals as the GameCube, but the visuals in F-Zero X are so low-key that even some of the cities in the original F-Zero on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System look livelier by comparison.

F-Zero X includes five different modes. In the Grand Prix mode, the player chooses a cup and races against twenty-nine opponents through each track in that cup. Players get a certain number of points for finishing a track depending on where they placed, and the winner of the circuit is the character who receives the most total points. There are three difficulty levels available at the start: Novice, Standard, and Expert. The higher the difficulty level, the tougher the opponents and less opportunities the player gets to retry. However, there is a Practice mode which allows the player to practice any track with 29 opponents.[8][12]

Among fans of the F-Zero series, F-Zero X is considered one of the best available. It is a high-speed Racing game set in the future, and home of the character Captain Falcon who would later make an appearance in Super Smash Bros. and it's sequel.
