About F-Zero
F-Zero is Nintendo's anti-gravity racing series, running from the Mode 7 SNES original to the 99-player battles of F-Zero 99.
This play order lists every game by release, which matches story order closely enough that one list covers both.
Good to know
GP Legend and Climax follow the anime continuity set in 2201, separate from the main games set in the 26th century. Zero Racers was finished for the Virtual Boy in 1996 but only released on August 4, 2026 through Nintendo Classics.
