About F-Zero

F-Zero is Nintendo's anti gravity racing series, running from the 1990 Super Nintendo original through X on the Nintendo 64, Maximum Velocity on handhelds, GX on GameCube, the GP Legend anime tie-ins, and the 2023 battle royale F-Zero 99. Captain Falcon anchors the roster across all of it.

Play in release order. The games share tracks and machines rather than a story, so the order tracks the speed craft from Mode 7 to 60 frames per second GX. Newcomers can start at GX for the peak or 99 for the live door, then work backward through the list below.

Good to know

The series slept for nearly twenty years between Climax in 2004 and 99 in 2023, which is why GX remains the consensus high point. GP Legend and Climax stayed Japan focused, with the anime bridging them. No new mainline entry has been announced since 99, so the list below is current as released to date.
