F-Zero 99 | F-Zero 99 was the Best Thing for F-Zero | Nintendo Switch handheld gameplay
0F-Zero 99 Nintendo Switch handheld gameplay. F-Zero 99 combines the racing gameplay from SNES' F-Zero with battle royale elements. Up to ninety-nine players compete to survive and obtain a first place ranking. Each player selects from the original set of courses and machines from F-Zero. The speed boost and attacking mechanics are reminiscent of what is implemented in F-Zero X and F-Zero GX. The player's machine is equipped with an energy meter, which serves as both a measurement of its health and as an energy reserve for temporary boosts to its speed; collisions and use of the boost depletes the meter, and once empty it will cause the player's vehicle to explode and be eliminated from the race. Pit areas and dash plates are located at various points around the track for machines to drive over. The former replenishes energy, while the latter gives a speed boost without using up any energy.
