- Very useful for online races and practice mode! Always good to gain a little time!
Edit: Please note that the respawning shortcuts for Port Town I and II have been patched and will no longer safe time for online races, only for practice mode.

0:03 - Ha, this counts? Okay
0:24 - Yeah, it’s just Mute Ci- oh.
0:40 - Ohhh
1:01 - OH
1:41 - OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH
Yeah, the 3 Mute City Tracks basically all have the same thing. You should go for it every lap, as theres no risk and its still faster. All the bigger jumps are super risky, since you literally die if you miss them.
I like the way you ended it. Remembering that there is no point in regenerating in the pit on the final lap of Fire Field can get you the win. Most players instinctively use the pit every time, even on the final lap.
Man, I remember the White Land II jump near the end of the track being way bigger… always used to make me nervous as a kid lol.
Kinda wish they left it alone see how many cars would explode
the jump actually is way bigger in the original. they shortened it in 99
In the original, you need 400+ kph *before* making that jump. The only way a newbie player could make it is by driving Golden Fox, any other vehicle wouldn't make the jump in time (remember, you'd be given a booster after completing a lap).
Just FYI for anyone watching and wondering: these are the shortcuts, and they’re all cool, but they aren’t all practical for races.
Other comments mention that the super shortcuts in Port Town I and II are actually really hard to do in such a way that they save any significant time, and you’ll still lose out on some super sparks for doing that, but even moreso…
I recently watched an epic speedrun of the SNES original recently, from one of the Games Done Quick events several years ago. The coolest part was the runner nailing that second White Land II shortcut (the one with the double hop) after a few attempts. The jump was a bit harder on the original version, but it’s still so very not worth trying outside time trials in F-Zero 99-they said it saved about 0.2 seconds in the original, despite that level of difficulty.
Yeah, you really have to slow down to do the double hop on White Land II, since the jump was shortened. It really only saves time for the Golden Fox. But you should never go for it outside of practice. Its way too inconsistent to go for in a final race of a GP, since you will most likely die if you miss it. Just go for the one ramp way.
One thing I do want to test is if using super spark once you get close to landing the shortcut will do anything interesting. Always forget to do it though
@@irregulargamer1352 I think it will just pull you back to the other side. But would be cool if it makes the cut even faster
@@Real21Gamer yeah. there's a vid of someone doing it and it does pull you back
That White Land 2 double jump is too ballsy for me
Yeah, wouldnt recommend ever going for it
1:16 White Land I has a UFO Referee that will pull you to the side back on track if you jump far away to the left.
Happend to me way more than i would like to admit '^^
Well 99 is designed differently and doesn't show the cut off tracks from the sequel courses like Red Canyon I and II. If I'm not mistaken, there is a referee UFO that moves you back to the track you are on in the SNES version. I used to do stuff like that for fun. lol
@@jenniferjasmine1813 They are on every track in 99 and the original, but some youll just never be able to see
Riley found a new jump tech at 1:15, if you angle it correctly.
@@AGKaiju Yeah, i saw that too. A few new strats were found after this video, so i would have to redo this video completely, not sure if i will.
Excellent guide!
Glad it was helpful!
To me a shortcut is finding a way to cut the length of the track in a way that wasn't really intended. So on that note, the Red Canyon II one isn't *really* a shortcut, imo. It's clearly an intended design feature of the track to go over those big jumps. Yes, it's quicker to go that way instead of the alternate path through the mine field, but it's designed as a (slightly riskier) option for those who want to go that way (however, the Red Canyon I case IS a legitimate shortcut as you use the jump to cut the corner). Same story with the final corner on Fire Field - yes, it's faster to take the inside path, but again it's intended design. The recharge strip is placed on the outside path so taking the inside path means you don't get that benefit (so again it's riskier). In reality, you're only going to be taking that inside path on the final lap. The Silence one... the first part of it is again a (slightly riskier) option to take the inside path than to go around the outside, however the second part, where you can use the jump pad to cut the corner, is legitimate shortcut.
0:53 How on earth does it corner so well?
Dont accelerate in sharp turns, just hold R/L and right/left.
Start pressing B once youre at the exit of the turn.
Sometimes also repeatetly pressing B works fine, espcially with Golden Fox, which has the worst grip of all the machines
I press the gas on the red canyon turns. I find that tapping left or right helps to prevent drift on curves w fox. Alternatively you can tap gas, or do both. Try to beat the firefield time trial. It will trivialize all turns in the game.
Man, I hate that I know all of these from the original SNES game, but WOW are they mostly only practical on the SNES. lol
It's so much different with 99 players attacking you at once. 😂
Skip the second jump on the MC2 shortcut
Is slower, unless you are boosting
@21gamerjosh yes, you need to boost as well.
Big Blue has one similar to Mute City I but shorter. Right after the third turn.
Wouldnt consider that a shortcut
Don't let nintendo see this, they'll patch out every one of these
for 0:45 do you use any drift buttons or straight up directional buttons same questions for 1:15
For sharp turns on the ground i always use L/R + Joystick to turn (no accelerating in sharp turns, Golden Fox has no grip)
For the jumps I never use L/R, i just hold diagonally down (so i get the most airtime and still steer sharply in the air)
thank you i had been doing the wrong inputs for jumps until you mentioned it because i noticed you had no sparks under your vehicle for the jumps
Can you do a skyway version pls
Not sure, maybe I will
Port Town I and II shortcuts don't confer any real advantage; I easily zoom past people who use them all the time, to the point where I pretty much see those flashing red teleportation circles as a mark of shame.
They do safe a little when done perfectly or close to perfect; thats why the world records use them as well.
Its important to hit the wall in the correct way after the jump, so you respawn as quickly as possible (like in the video).
Its definitely more of “Im going for world record” rather then, “You should go for this in an actual game”
@@owlface5023 Yeah, i would not recommend going for it in a Grand Prix. I practiced it a lot and went for it a few times in regular races and it did work out, sometimes. Some pros will go for it every lap, but its really not recommended.
I've actually seen it give an advantage in competitive matches, but it seems that it can only help if you do it right (by reducing the time spent being repositioned)
Going for the shortcut on Port Towns I and II is how I've gotten most of my only 7~ wins.
What's your in game name? I knew most of these already, but might practice & steal the White Land 2 one!
I would not recommend going for the white land 2 double hop in a GP, it took me a few tries to even get it once and you most likely die if you miss it. Not worth at the end of the GP.
My in-game name is "BuyPikmin2", my pilot card is the Golden Fox with all three Grand Prix trophies driving into the sunset. Maybe you have seen me before in races.
@21gamerjosh I think I've driven against you - I'm N Hamblin. Yeah, majority of the time I drive WL2, I only need to finish to secure the GP, but if zi needed the points or going for a perfect GP I might give it a go!
@@nickhamblin8179 I think i have seen you name before.
Yeah exactly, i also wont go for most cuts in GPs, except like the easy ones (white land I for example)
It’s feel like these shortcuts are better to use for cars that have higher top speed like the Fox and Stingray
All machines have the same aerial top speed, being 478 km/h (which is also grounded top speed for the sting ray). Thats why ramps are faster to take (except for sting ray, which is equal).
Golden Fox actually has the lowest top speed, but it can boost the most and will reach aerial top speed the fastest, when chaining ramps into each other. But yeah, theres a reason why fox and sting ray are considered the best maschines
Its fine if you plan to do world records but please do not do this in grand prix. It ruins the expierence for the others in the race. A gamebis fun when everyone plays on equal grounds but when you get that o e guy doing shortcuts, people will start quitting the game and the game itself will die a lot sooner. Its hard enough to get a good placement as it is.
Ever heard of high risk high reward?
@@Real21Gamer yes, yes i have as far back in the Atari 2600 days. Dont get upset at me for saying what i said as i owned my words. What you do in you video is impressive. The one im more specifically calling out is portland. Your other shortcuts in mute city, red canyon, fire field, white land 1 and 2, so on, those i have nothing against and by all means keep at it. Ive been doing those moves since 1992 f zero but not the portland shortcut. Thats a brand new move and thats the one i feel thats a bit too much for online. Off line, go for it. I know i would.
Why don't you just do the shortcuts then?
@@blueyosh43 i like to play fair. Makes the competition fair and rewarding beating your rivals doing excatly the same route. Perhaps im way too old school when it comes to playing vs other people. But hey, all yoyr short cuts aee fine and got no problem you or others doing them, just the portland. The portland is thr only one that seems a bit excessive as only a few can do. While youre righ5 about the high risk reward, id hold off on that until a good amount of people can do that. All others you do, go for it as i see plenty able to do it and i fully support you doing it. Best of luck in f zero99
I still beat the GP with people who probably used the Port Town 2 skip it really doesn't save you THAT much time by the time you get control of your car back when the ship drops you off everyones already caught up with you it's really only useful for time trials
