F-Zero: League of High Speed Chases

Hello everyone, and welcome to the next installment in the quest of completing F-Zero! I now have my own 16-Bit likeness to follow beside my postings, huzzah!! Ahem...

So, I had an... Interesting time, to put it lightly with the Knight League. I destroyed in the first 3 levels, and then fell off the wagon for the last two. But I still achieved the completion! And so now I'm onto the Queen League.

Stage number one was Mute City II, and like my run through of Mute City I, I handled it very well. I started off behind Mr.Yellow-I'm-Always-Right-Behind-You dickhead, but I passed him because of the very handy long straight line we were given. See, I also looked at the other car's stats before I started this playthrough, and I learned that Mr.Yellow-I'm-Always-Right-Behind-You has a slightly faster acceleration speed than me, and a lower max speed. That's why he always pulls ahead! Dur. But I didn't choose that car, I stuck with the Blue Falcon, because, goddamnit, it's Captain Falcon. Mute City II was fun and not too difficult. It contains a section where the road splits into a circle, so you can choose to go right or left. I always went right because I kept myself close to the edge of the racetrack so my turns would be shorter and sharper.

Needless to say, 1st place was mine.

Port Town I caught me off guard. It seemed simple enough, the track didn't look too ambitious, and the beginning was a pretty straight line for a bit. However, what I did NOT know what that there is a long strip of gravel road (a bunch of dark grey splotches that slow you down) just after the 'healing strip.' There is a jump pad to leap over said patch, but I was on the left, when I should've been on the right. So I was passed by Mrs.Stupid-Green-and-Yellow-Car-That-Rarely-Causes-Problems and Yellow-face as they both soared over me freely.

The next section was windy and involved constantly swirving around turns. However, just to make turning interesting, they also threw a few magnet strips along the edges, which pulled you in towards the wall. The best means to counter this is to hold your drift button (L or R) to lean yourself in the opposite direction of the pull. I was bounced around by a few of these, but I made it out without losing too many places. I finished the first round in 3rd place, but I was catching up to Green-n-Yellow, and I passed the green guy in the flight over the gravel pit. I couldn't see Mr.Yellow-I'm-Always-Right-Behind-You for most of the 2nd lap, but I was catching up as we started lap 3. The leap over the gravel was where I took him out.

See, as we flew, my speed was greater than his so I flew beside him and then checked him to the side. I didn't see him the rest of the race, and I improved my lap times significantly! So victory was mine yet again.

So those were the first two levels of Queen's League, sorry for the short post, and the incredible amount of time between posts... But, life, and busy... Blah-blah, excuses. Next time, I will finish the League!
