F-Zero

F-Zero is set in the year 2560, when humanity's numerous encounters with alien life forms had led to an expansion of Earth's social framework. This led to commercial, technological and cultural exchanges between the planets. The multi-billionaires who acquired their wealth through intergalactic trade were largely satisfied with their lifestyles, although most desired more entertainment in their lives. This led to a new entertainment based on Formula One races, which were held in vehicles that could hover a foot above the track. These grand prix races were soon called "F-Zero" after their popularity grew. The game introduced the first F-Zero racers: Captain Falcon, Dr. Stewart, Pico and Samurai Goroh.
