Same age. This soundtrack takes me back to the first time I've played this game. Just to put into context I had a Mega Drive (Genesis) at the time and my friend called me to say he had bought the Super NES and had Super Mario World and F-Zero and that F-Zero was insane. I immediately went to his house and we started playing F-Zero and those Mode 7 graphics just BLEW ME AWAY! We spent hours playing it. Then I somehow convinced my dad I also needed a Super NES so I was lucky to have both 16-bit consoles which was great because games were very different on each platform (not like today as games are the same on Playstation and Xbox). Anyway, fast forward all these years and F-Zero is still one of my favorite racing games ever made. I regularly play it on Retroarch. Great memories of a time that sadly will never return. No internet. Just magazines with info about new consoles and games. Rental stores and games in cartridges with no 'day one patches'. Amazing.
I did the same thing with so many other games as well, and now they are all on youtube. I blast this shit in my truck driving around town with my son, we jam hard and I love the confused looks I get from other people on the road. Makes me so fucking happy to share all the awesome games I used to play as a kid with my son!
@@stevencoardvenice You haven't heard? Nintendo made a new F-Zero battle royale game where up to 99 racers can play at once. It's free with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, I recommend checking it out if you have one.
Hello F-Zero 99 fans! Glad we are all either finding out how good this ost is or you are just going back listening greatness again. See y'all on the track racers!
Over 25 years later and this still gives me chills. How the composers managed so much intensity in their arrangements while maintaining such simplicity is beyond me.
@@keineahnungabervieldavon no joke. Im 42 and ever since I was a kid playing this game, I loved the Mute City song so much, I would sing it whilst riding my bike. When I got my driver’s license, I had a taped version I would play on cassette and haul ass to. I always told myself I would be successful and knew I “made it” if I could travel to Europe to buy a sportscar, drive it to Mute City on the Autobahn, and then have the car shipped back to California. I could technically do his today, but I don’t think the wife would understand the near 6 figure “investment” into a European made vehicle. So jealous of you! Next time you drive it to Mute City, give ur ole’ buddy here @Adolfo a shout out. I would greatly appreciate it.
A full thirty years later, this stuff still slaps so hard. Honestly one of the best video game OSTs ever. It's amazing what they could do with such little hardware.
I did it. Fortunately I was just as skillful on the road as I'm on the game. I don't even get why I'm in a hospital now. I was going so well in the last lap!

As a 37 years old man, I had the privilege and luck to play NES, SNES and N64 back then... I can say for sure nothing beats or even comes close to SNES era... yeah NES is great and all, but due of its limitations and the fact that even having so many great games, it also has a lot of mediocre/forgettable games... N64 was such a culture and technology change, but again, has a very limited number of really good games, those that are good are pure masterpieces though... but SNES man, oh boy! It was the era were game companies and devs really put the effort on creating fun, challenging, memorable games, amazing music, stories, pinnacle of 2D graphics
What's really amazing is that I can mentally see where I would be on the track depending on where the beat is, such as I can hear a jump, a power-recharge pit, etc...
I remember playing this game when I was a kid growing up. I was about 12 years old (I'm almost 39 years old today) now my 9 year old son plays it together with me 🙏🏽☮️❤️
It's incredible to think how absolutely clear some of these memories can be. I too remember the immense joy and enthusiasm I had with this game back then (I'm also 39 years old, btw). It's just that I got to play it maybe a little earlier, just after its release. Mute city immediately made me a fan for life. I just couldn't believe the magic spell this game could cast on us. Phenomenal music and design.
The 3rd gen > 4th gen. Maybe cuz had nes first and nostalgia just talking, but i feel the games were better like the marios and the zeldas and mega mans and hundreds of others
comparing mario kart to F zero to me feels like comparing a skill focused streak of lightning and a half retarded snail with a dice glued onto it. The lightning is faster, and cooler.
Maybe if you played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe you'd see there are two tracks dedicated to two race tracks from F-Zero. Even the FX and background music emulate the feeling of playing F-Zero. And if you think driving karts is lame and unskilled, you should try driving 200cc. I'm willing to bet you'd spend over 40 hours a week in your parent's basement just to get a bronze finish.
EHH, I split with my buddy to get a wii U that came with MK8 deluxe I haven't gotten gold medal on the zelda cup on 200cc yet, its the only one I have left to gold. It's just not as good. I like the music in MK8 big blue more than the actual race track. It's an ok party game if you're drunk.
When you play the game and feel you are discovering one of the most incredible OST of all time, then you hear the Fire Field theme for the first time...GOAT! 20:15 eargasm
Although I had a SNES growing up, I never played F-zero because it seemed to "fast" and "hard to control". A couple of decades later, and oh man! F-zero 99, although not a spiritual remake of F-zero, introduced me to this great OST!
i remember playing this game as a kid and imagining, when iam a grown-up, i would be driving around with such cars. i was almost terrified and hyped at the same time. now 30 years later, we still have cars with wheels. why is the future so lame and not as cool as f-zero?
Red Canyon FTW. Remember right before a match you would take one last drink and have one last Cheezit because shit's about to get real and you need to concentrate. Remember having to concentrate on a game? Telling everyone to be quiet so you can focus on having pinpoint precision and timing? And your spectators would sit behind you or on your bed quietly watching you.
***** I love big AAA cinematic games of today obviously, but there's something special about old games. Back in the day they didn't have much to work with in terms of computing power so they did the best with what they had. Many times difficulty was worked into the game because it gave us a rush when playing. Nowadays we have cutscenes, high tempo first person gameplay, etc. to give us a rush.
+Vic Vinegar You can still find difficult video games if you look. Have you played either of the new "Donkey Kong Country" games? Those games are tough.
Vic Vinegar Yes, they're a lot of fun. I spent months beating all of the time trials on "Donkey Kong Country Returns," and although it was often frustrating, the feeling when I finally got the best medal on a stage was worth the trouble. Doing the same on "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze" would have taken months, but I was on vacation for part of the time, so it didn't take as long.
Man, what a proof of concept this was for this console allowing racing game tracks to be more complex than the previous Outrun/Rad Racer-type stuff. I honestly held off getting into SMK for a bit because the OG F-Zero just as it was in 1-player was so fast and exhilarating.
Always loved how classy this OST was. The others are great and all, but it's all about the jazz results screen, the smooth records list, synth keys with woodwind melodies. It isn't just a big techno fest, or metal thrashing. It isn't afraid to throw a lead guitar solo alongside a church organ. Its bass and percussion first presentation is also something Nintendo rarely ever did again and I miss it dearly.
Always enjoyed the music to this game growing up, but it wasn't until I got older and became a musician that I appreciated them even more. The basslines in some of the songs, especially Big Blue and Silence are beyond phenomenal. They remind me a lot of Billy Sheehan bass lines from Mr. Big/David Lee Roth/The Winery Dogs.I could listen to these songs for days and never get tired of them.
The real reason this is impressive is that this was pretty much before the era of music editing software. You had to be as much a computer scientist as a composer to make this sort of thing back then.
22:13 One thing I really love about the SNES game soundtracks, there are many tracks with such a smooth, groovy walking bass. Decades later, I think that was one reason why I developed an interest for Japanese fusion jazz, which then lead me to jazz.
he is remembering the mode 7 graphic Chip possessor in the super Nintendo games . you can see what he means if you go back and play mario kart the original and F-Zero
SNES F-ZERO OST, SNES StreetFighter2 OST…… it was pure music from geniuses… I’m 41 yo, composing electronic music with a lot of different synthesizers etc. and trust me, these OST are truly mind blowing… Each track are bangers you can remember it your whole life while console’s synthesizers were pretty limited!!!! For people who don’t know, each console has a true synthesizer inside, who generate sounds FROM SCRATCH, exactly like keyboard synths. More precisely, they are creating sounds from an electric signal who has very basic form : square, triangle, sine wave, shark teeth etc (you know these curves we see on an oscilloscope) First the synth generates this basic sound and then you program how it will transform this signal into all BackGroundMusics and SoundEffects we all love ❤️
This gives me so much memories of playing john tanaka on all the famous tracks just zooming past my opponents, those days will never be forgotten, the f-zero franchise is truly gold, my personal favorite track was fire field on king cup, truly the best days of my life.
I suppose this message may never receive my friendly youtuber, but your work is extremely gratifying. Vgm , especially snes hAs totally redefined what is possible and acceptable, I will never go without the perfection of my youth again. My most powerful gratitude.
im so happy that og f-zero has been making a comeback with f-zero 99, I first played the game 6 years ago on a friend's snes and been hooked to the OST and the game ever since
When I was a kid in the 90s, I hung out with mostly boys. We laughed and played this for hours and my personal favorite laugh, was in the manual and lore, the Golden Fox car was driven by Dr. Stewart who's profession and age realistically does not line up whatsoever... anyways, the punchline is we called him Dr. Stupid in the Rusty Box because Nintendo programmed him as the rubber band to every single GP run every time.
Such as Turtles in Time, Actraiser series, Mario RPG, Seiken series (a lot of the big JRPG TBH), Zelda, Metroid 3, Rockman X series...so many of them, even if I think Chrono Trigger OST comes itself from another planet :)
Desde hace años siempre necesito volver a escuchar este OST es uno de mis favoritos en los videojuegos, mi alma me pide volverlo a escuchar de tiempo en tiempo.
One of my favorite games back in the SNES days. The OST was amazing. Hard to pick a favorite but might be Port Town, Silence, Inferno, and Sand Ocean. And the rest of them. How bout just the whole thing. BTW it was awesome that they rearranged the theme from White Land for White Land II instead of just using the song again. A cool "remix."
Funny thing is I only bought this game because it was $40 and I couldn't afford a newer game like Chrono Trigger. Turned out to be wayyyy better than I thought. Every music track on this game is memorable and the racing is so f'in fast.
There was something about the SNES launch titles, in particular F-Zero, Pilotwings, Sim City, and Super Mario World, that I don't think has quite been recreated. They were all very different but definitely cut from the same clothe.
Played this game for the first time in 1992 on my SNES!! Amazing game and amazing soundtrack! One of the best racing games of all time. Arcade quality super fast scrolling amazed us kids & teens in 1992, yay! :)
When I was playing this back in the day, I was listening to a Tangerine Dream album called Rockoon (borrowed from a local library). I guess I was going through an electronica phase because I quickly became addicted to both, musically. That music and this music got mixed up in my memory, and I've only recently been able to find a copy of Rockoon on CD (in my price range). Today, it occurred to me that RUclips might have game soundtracks and now I can separate them in my head. Thanks, RUclips!

More than 25 years ago ... where does the time go? I will always remember playing this game for the 1st time at my friend's house in Austin Texas. The graphics and the music blew me away and I knew I had to get a SNES. Saved my allowance money and bought one.
Thank you for the great upload and providing motherfucking links for the different tracks. This always help me write a god damn essay at 4 am in the morning.
3:20 and this is why i started to love this soundtrack... And just for the record.. the starting counter (the zoom) in the game before any race is the most original sound that i ever heard it literally gave me chills.. (Idk english sorry guys).
Port Town Aero Drive is an underrated song in my opinion. While later games opted to integrate it into the "everything is a crazy fast and complex rock song", in this game it was a more chill song, with a soothing trumpet and bass melody and a quick yet not overpowering drumline. Really made a nice "feeling" of high paced driving on a nice coast-side racetrack.
Threw F-Zero on a whim tonight and loved every second. Not only was the gameplay good but I was eager to hear what music the next track had. Wasnt disappointed at all, each and every track rocks so fucking hard.
Timeless. I’m 43 and this still brings me back to Christmas 1992 every single time. Thanks mum and dad.
40 here and same feelings for me 😆
Same age, same memories here :)
36 and I still play it...

Amiga and jungle? What more could I love about your username?!
I remember holding a cassette recorder up to the tv so i record all the songs from this game back in the day, true story.
I did the same, but not only with this game. Mega man III was another, just to mention another. You are not alone.
ohh
I did the same thing with so many other games as well, and now they are all on youtube.

Brandon Coplen and do I miss those days. I think snes was the most excited I got for a console. Ps1 was close.
Hearing these themes in F-Zero 99 made me so happy.
Hearing these songs after playing 99 makes me so happy.

Dad used to love watching me play this game.
I sure miss him.
I lost my dad 3 days ago, I know how you feel. I used to play this a lot as a kid.
I'm jealous. My dad used to tell me to "Alright, turn that crap off. Get it out of here."
@@Twardz sad, bro.
@Angel Mauricio Laurente Vilela I remembered it being a lot easier with the old SNES controllers 😌
I'm sure your dad is watching you from Heaven.
Over 25 years later and this still gives me chills. How the composers managed so much intensity in their arrangements while maintaining such simplicity is beyond me.
They must of put their heart and soul into making this game.
They did it using their musical genius.
That Mute City theme (0:50) is still killer after all these years. Very catchy track.
It really is, so far the only themes I used for my .exe videos are mute city and big blue 😍
i listen to it on the german Autobahn, while speeding at 200kmh its pretty satisfying
@@keineahnungabervieldavon no joke. Im 42 and ever since I was a kid playing this game, I loved the Mute City song so much, I would sing it whilst riding my bike. When I got my driver’s license, I had a taped version I would play on cassette and haul ass to.
I always told myself I would be successful and knew I “made it” if I could travel to Europe to buy a sportscar, drive it to Mute City on the Autobahn, and then have the car shipped back to California. I could technically do his today, but I don’t think the wife would understand the near 6 figure “investment” into a European made vehicle.
So jealous of you! Next time you drive it to Mute City, give ur ole’ buddy here @Adolfo a shout out. I would greatly appreciate it.
I listened to it next to my 2 yo son.
Boy goes to school humming this!
that and Port Town are the best!
A full thirty years later, this stuff still slaps so hard. Honestly one of the best video game OSTs ever. It's amazing what they could do with such little hardware.
i can't believe there aren't other soundtracks with this energy, there is lots of good stuff, but this game blew my mind
This still goes SO HARD.
Pro Tip: Never listen to this OST while on highway.
+COOLIO MCGOOLIO Crap, already did.
Oh noes! I'm on crack right now!!!! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!! I just died.
This OST helps me shave at least 5-10 minutes off my commute any time I put it in.
State troopers seem to hate it, though.
I did it. Fortunately I was just as skillful on the road as I'm on the game. I don't even get why I'm in a hospital now. I was going so well in the last lap!

This and F Zero X are the greatest soundtracks in video game history.
I love OG F-Zero’s soundtrack enough that it gets revisited often, but Streets of Rage 2 is my all time top!

True.
idk about the best. we need to talk about dkc and s3&k. its on the list tho. really really really high on the list.
@@thejunkmanlivesYeah those two are high up too

That lead drop in Fire Field goes so hard at 20:14... that composer went buckwild! So sick...
best tune in the game!
@@thelaibon There is no reason for me to disagree with you
I gotta go with the Red Canyon theme as the best in the game IMO. But, this is also very good too and I can see why.
The best of the best
Fire Field theme sux
The first racing game I became obsessed with. F-Zero still holds a special place in my heart to this day.
Red Canyon FTW. Remember right before a match you would take one last drink and have one last Cheezit because shit's about to get real and you need to concentrate. Remember having to concentrate on a game? Telling everyone to be quiet so you can focus on having pinpoint precision and timing? And your spectators would sit behind you or on your bed quietly watching you.

Decades later, I think that was one reason why I developed an interest for Japanese fusion jazz, which then lead me to jazz.
I Always liked how background in game looks it really gives you some feeling that you are, you know....
+Barockman Obama inside? yeah i know, imagination was worth back then, now... everything is about graphic and perfection (whine on a small bug)
Yeah, I always liked to imagine thing myself, you know sprites sometimes would look bad and you would look it at the way you want.
Am I having a stroke because I have no idea what this comment means
But he is not black or a person he is a robot Rock man
he is remembering the mode 7 graphic Chip possessor in the super Nintendo games . you can see what he means if you go back and play mario kart the original and F-Zero
these solos are INSANNE. kinda reminds me of jazz fusion
Dayum, you have to look hard nowadays to find gaming soundtracks as good as from the late 80's and early 90's of gaming!
SNES F-ZERO OST, SNES StreetFighter2 OST…… it was pure music from geniuses…
I’m 41 yo, composing electronic music with a lot of different synthesizers etc. and trust me, these OST are truly mind blowing… Each track are bangers you can remember it your whole life while console’s synthesizers were pretty limited!!!!
For people who don’t know, each console has a true synthesizer inside, who generate sounds FROM SCRATCH, exactly like keyboard synths.
More precisely, they are creating sounds from an electric signal who has very basic form : square, triangle, sine wave, shark teeth etc (you know these curves we see on an oscilloscope)
First the synth generates this basic sound and then you program how it will transform this signal into all BackGroundMusics and SoundEffects we all love ❤️
Those bass lines are so sick.
some of the nicest 16 bit basslines i've heard
Man, the snes sound chip was the real mvp. Some of the best OSTs you will find anywhere.
Absolutely.
F-zero is back!!
Try F-zero 99 is surprising good and fun game.
Playing this while driving brings it back
I stopped by for the nostalgia because of the new f-zero 99 release
Listening to this was a wave of nostalgia. It brought back memories when I was a kid having a lot of fun playing this.
This gives me so much memories of playing john tanaka on all the famous tracks just zooming past my opponents, those days will never be forgotten, the f-zero franchise is truly gold, my personal favorite track was fire field on king cup, truly the best days of my life.
This game is remarkable. A real good reason to own a SNES at that time.
Played it for hours when I was 9 or 10. This, SMW and Pilotwings
I suppose this message may never receive my friendly youtuber, but your work is extremely gratifying. Vgm , especially snes hAs totally redefined what is possible and acceptable, I will never go without the perfection of my youth again. My most powerful gratitude.
This was the first SNES game I owned. It was and still is amazing.
F-Zero 99 Lets Go Baby
I remember when my parents gave me this game back in 97 being just 7 years old . I was the happiest kid ever. Love F-Zero.
Mute City, Big Blue and Port Town are my favs.... such a great OST
Silence is a dope track 🔥🔥🔥
Big blue triggers something inside me, that track touches my soul in some wierd way. Brilliant melody
This song has been playing over and over in my subconscious for 30 years!
Silence and Port Town have been in my head for over 20 years.
Aquí volví de nuevo en el 2024, otra dosis de este OST, uno de los mejores de Super Nintendo.
When even Select Time Theme is a banger, you know it's a 10/10 OST
im so happy that og f-zero has been making a comeback with f-zero 99, I first played the game 6 years ago on a friend's snes and been hooked to the OST and the game ever since
Phenomenal OST. As a child, my cousin and I would try our best to beat this game, but couldn't handle the intensifying race of the 26th century!
que audio incrivel, não pude ter a tecnica ideal para terminar o jogo na epoca. mas marcou demais
When I was a kid in the 90s, I hung out with mostly boys. We laughed and played this for hours and my personal favorite laugh, was in the manual and lore, the Golden Fox car was driven by Dr. Stewart who's profession and age realistically does not line up whatsoever... anyways, the punchline is we called him Dr. Stupid in the Rusty Box because Nintendo programmed him as the rubber band to every single GP run every time.
Some very complex compositions here. Right up there with DKC 2, FF6 and Super Castlevania 4. Love this ost, its pure genius.
Such as Turtles in Time, Actraiser series, Mario RPG, Seiken series (a lot of the big JRPG TBH), Zelda, Metroid 3, Rockman X series...so many of them, even if I think Chrono Trigger OST comes itself from another planet :)
Desde hace años siempre necesito volver a escuchar este OST es uno de mis favoritos en los videojuegos, mi alma me pide volverlo a escuchar de tiempo en tiempo.
"Big Blue" @02:44 always does it for me, so great. Thank you Yumiko Kanki and Naoto Ishida.
why is it that 8 and 16 bit music is some of the most iconic ever created? Its like the moor tools ppl get, the worse results
Despite all the amazing ost in the game, 10:38 is what comes into mind especially late at night
It’s 3 AM right now, and yeah, same.
I've had this soundtrack on the brain lately and just had to give it a listen. Thanks!
One of my favorite games back in the SNES days. The OST was amazing. Hard to pick a favorite but might be Port Town, Silence, Inferno, and Sand Ocean. And the rest of them. How bout just the whole thing. BTW it was awesome that they rearranged the theme from White Land for White Land II instead of just using the song again. A cool "remix."
Wwwooowww, this sounds really Amazing!!!! ... Thank you, pal!!!
Funny thing is I only bought this game because it was $40 and I couldn't afford a newer game like Chrono Trigger. Turned out to be wayyyy better than I thought. Every music track on this game is memorable and the racing is so f'in fast.
There was something about the SNES launch titles, in particular F-Zero, Pilotwings, Sim City, and Super Mario World, that I don't think has quite been recreated. They were all very different but definitely cut from the same clothe.
Played this game for the first time in 1992 on my SNES!! Amazing game and amazing soundtrack! One of the best racing games of all time. Arcade quality super fast scrolling amazed us kids & teens in 1992, yay! :)
Port Town 1, the nostalgia just hit me so hard right now...
Amazing soundtrack!
Ugh. So nostalgic. To be that young again. No stress
I've always loved how it reminds me of the 80's racing games when it comes to this music. Especially the intro and outro.
22 years later and I still whistle these tunes every morning on my way to work.
Every morning?
I bet you rarely arrive late.
Bro never arrives too late.
My first SNES game along with super mario world. I still remember that loud crash effect hahaha
When I was playing this back in the day, I was listening to a Tangerine Dream album called Rockoon (borrowed from a local library). I guess I was going through an electronica phase because I quickly became addicted to both, musically. That music and this music got mixed up in my memory, and I've only recently been able to find a copy of Rockoon on CD (in my price range). Today, it occurred to me that RUclips might have game soundtracks and now I can separate them in my head. Thanks, RUclips!
Port Town = 16 bit musical GENIUS! So insane that this came out so long ago, fuck it blows my fucking mind

I used to hate death wind but man listening to it again it actually goes hard
Nothing comes close to Top Gear and F Zero soundtracks
More than 25 years ago ... where does the time go? I will always remember playing this game for the 1st time at my friend's house in Austin Texas. The graphics and the music blew me away and I knew I had to get a SNES. Saved my allowance money and bought one.
The classic. I still own this in original hardware and beat it all in Master.
Thank you for the great upload and providing motherfucking links for the different tracks. This always help me write a god damn essay at 4 am in the morning.
3:20 and this is why i started to love this soundtrack...
And just for the record.. the starting counter (the zoom) in the game before any race is the most original sound that i ever heard it literally gave me chills..
(Idk english sorry guys).
boy, after so many hears, just the intstant re-recognition of the opening, and ultra classics like MUTE City and Fire Field....yes!!!
Port Town Aero Drive is an underrated song in my opinion. While later games opted to integrate it into the "everything is a crazy fast and complex rock song", in this game it was a more chill song, with a soothing trumpet and bass melody and a quick yet not overpowering drumline. Really made a nice "feeling" of high paced driving on a nice coast-side racetrack.
The "breathing through a mask" sound effect added to Death Wind 07:00 is a simply brilliant detail.
i thought its supposed to be wind
because
you knwo
death wind
lol I never heard that sound till now... omg now I can't unhear it... track ruined xD
good ears
How i feel during covid XD
@@lil_bear Sheep.
Loved my childhood. I’m so thankful to have grown up in the 1980s and 1990s.
Silence :~~~~~ Too many feelings... Best game song ever.
but the track is a piece of shit.
disagree. Alot of 90 degree corners sure, but nothing beats that adrenaline rush from hitting the shortcut, dodging the mines and nailing that ramp.
Mint Grizz unless ur like me. Failing the shortcut, getting rekt by mines and fucking up that ramp.
***** overused clichés are being overused.
Gitting gud is part of a healthy balanced lifestyle.
scrub.
Fzero 99 is pretty good.
Threw F-Zero on a whim tonight and loved every second. Not only was the gameplay good but I was eager to hear what music the next track had. Wasnt disappointed at all, each and every track rocks so fucking hard.
It's back.
