F-Zero GX's music is interesting because it goes for more of an electronic/techno feel than the rock/metal music of the F-Zero games to come before it.
Lord have mercy on Jesse if he gets requested any of the character themes from this game. Every single one of them is amazing and the composer had no right to go as hard as they did on them.
2200km/ is 1367.017 miles per hour in "freedom units". It's also just a little over the speed of a F-16 Fighter Jet, and these man men are racing on deadly raceways and smacking into each other at that speed. Truly an unhinged bloodsport.
GX/AX (Arcade version) is one of my favorite racing games of all time. F-zero is really the best at capturing the feeling of speed, even at the bonkers advertised numbers. The music helps, but the stages fly by at such insane pace that it really sells the movement. Edit - made this comment before I saw you did the SNES version, INSTANT nostalgia, holy crap hahaha. SNES F-Zero is a GOATed soundtrack. I do hope we see more of it on the channel.
The reason why F-Zero FEELS fast is mostly down to the size of the tracks. It's a design philosophy that was there from the beginning. F-Zero courses have always been pretty narrow. Having the bumpers on the warning track whipping past you makes even 400km/h feel like you're blazing along.
F-Zero music is truly special, these songs have stood the test of time across multiple console generations and creating a massive amount of covers on RUclips from various artists. Mute City especially is the one that everyone knows and some of the other versions of the song out there are absolutely incredible. F-Zero X, Melee, the OTHER version in GX which is a little closer to the original and the guitar arrange album version from F-Zero X to name a few. F-Zero can be described like this. Cars go entirely too fast on winding tracks, one wrong move and you're either dead or you drop 20 places. Each stage has its own theme song, so you'll see song titles like Mute City, Big Blue, Fire Field, White Land, Port Town etc, these are referring to the track you're racing on. Hope you get to hear some more in the future!
I regret not requesting the version with the final version of the song, ah well. So its crazy how well you can tell a vibe of the game, to answer a few questions. 1. F-Zero GX was released for the gamecube but there was an arcade version called F-Zero AX. I actually got to play it once and even had a memory card to unlock extra parts and racers for the GX version, it also had a moving seat and it was crazy. 2. Wanna know what else is crazy? This version was made by Sega. That feel you had of this being sega was spot on. Sega stopped with dreamcast stuff at this point and went full 3rd party and they were honestly killing it on the gamecube with how good most of their games were.
Sega was also killing it on Xbox actually. Jet Set Radio Future, Gun Valkyrie, Crazy Taxi 3, Otogi (well FromSoft actually but Sega published this and it's Xbox exclusive), Outrun 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta and a few more and some ports. The Xbox was often referred to as a Dreamcast 2 for good reason.
Not just was this made by Sega, but specifically it was the Amusement Vision studio within Sega. You may recognize them as the developers of the Super Monkey Ball series, but if you don't recognize them under that name you may recognize them under their new studio name: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Yes, this game was developed by the Like a Dragon team. It was produced by both Shigeru Miyamoto from Nintendo and Toshihiro Nagoshi (the former studio head at Ryu Ga Gotoku and director of most Yakuza games). F-Zero GX is a legendary game in the industry for being the biggest collaboration between former rivals Nintendo and Sega, and the resulting product is exceptional.
Aw, that’s a shame that vid of Aeropolis doesn’t have the final lap section. Aeropolis as a whole is my favorite aesthetically in GX and has some really great tracks.
Fun fact: Daiki Kasho composed all but a few of the pieces in F-Zero GX. He composed the in-race music of Gran Turismo 3, and would later go on to compose and perform the opening themes of both Gran Turismo 5 (5OUL ON D!SPLAY) and Gran Turismo 6 (All My Life).
Aeropolis is both one of my favorite music tracks in the game and also probably my favorite course (the first one mainly, although Dragon Slopes is also great). Still to this day the course is ingrained in my mind, all the drifts and places to boost, and the music actually part of how I synced in. Unfortunately this version cut off the transition on the final lap when you are hit with this big victorious swell as you are finishing the final track of the cup, which just felt great.
So with Mute City for the GX reaction, when you reach the 3rd lap of the race the music changes. This applies to all the stages. For Aeropolis though the version you listened to didn't have the lap 3 change.
And all racing songs are programmed to change to the final stretch always on rhythm and without breaking the flow. If you cross the finish line at the exact moment the beat goes on, it still will change. Amazing attention to detail. Not expecting less from the team that would then be RGG Studio.
@@tgr3423 At the time that team was called Amusement Vision, which brought games like Super Monkey Ball 1 and, and before that Daytona USA 2001 for the Dreamcast. All those had rock solid 60 fps, even if Daytona 2001's controls weren't as good as the original. If you check both Monkey Ball games on the Cube you can see the same-ish particle systems and graphical effects, as F-Zero ran on that engine. Side note: Banana Mania, which was a remaster of both Monkey Ball 1 and 2 runs on Unity, and it's visually downgraded. Physics also took a massive hit in comparison to the originals.
F Zero was a great part of my childhood - I remember playing the original on my cousin's SNES and loving the music (especially Mute City and Big Blue). I remember GX absolutely blowing me away when it came out on Gamecube, especially hearing the new versions of classic tunes. As others have pointed out, GX had an arcade equivalent called F Zero AX which allowed you to plug in your Gamecube memory card with a GX save on it and use the vehicles you'd unlocked/upgraded - it was awesome! Glad you listened to the original Mute City as well, as that was a proper hit to the childhood!
I was never into racing games, but a friend of mine had the original F-Zero on SNES, and the Mute City song really got me into the game. To this day, that's the one song I think of whenever F-Zero is mentioned. It's a really simple tune, but it makes you feel like you're completely unstoppable.
"Late 90s Namco." Good ear, maybe. F-Zero GX was created primarily by Sega and Nintendo, but Namco was also involved somehow. All three companies worked together to create the "Triforce" arcade board/platform. I'm not sure who composed what, though. The game has a lot of music. In fact, every one of the 40 racers has their own short song. As for the music, they have a faster version of the song that kicks in on the last lap. I don't think you heard that with the Aeropolis track. F-Zero GX is absolutely amazing, though. I actually did play the original F-Zero on SNES at someone else's house, and I was infatuated with an article about it on Nintendo Power. I remember Hot Wheels came out with a like of products called "Streex" that seemed inspired by F-Zero. F-Zero was pretty big when it came out.
Some of my favourite tracks from GX; - "Emperor Breath", from story mode. - "Phoenix", a character theme. (Daiki Kasho composed the character themes, IIRC). - "Wings For My Way", the title screen. - "As You Choose '3rd'", the main menu. - "One Ahead System", Cosmo Terminal course. - "Hurrah for the Champion", the grand prix results.
Fun Fact: Since Sega had a hand in F-Zero GX/AX, the composer for this game is Hidenori Shoji, the same composer for the Super Monkey Ball franchise and the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise.
The original F-Zero was a launch title for the SNES (along with Super Mario World and Pilotwings) so a lot of early adopters of the SNES played it. Mute City and Big Blue are the two most popular tracks from the series and appear in almost every entry, plus Smash and even Mario Kart 8.
Almost every F-Zero has a racing track named "Mute City" as its first track. (There's often multiple tracks sharing a name, even in the same game, but they're supposed to be different sections of the same locale in-universe.) And the ~25 seconds following 11:25 is a constant in every instance of Mute City throughout the series. It's iconic, to say the least. Also, from 13:22 is what plays on the last lap of Mute City tracks in this game! Personally, though, my first exposure to Mute City (and F-Zero in general) was Super Smash Bros. Melee, also on the Gamecube. I think that's how it went for a lot of people. It's a common joke that Captain Falcon, the F-Zero protagonist, is actually a Smash Bros.-original character, and he's arguably more famous for his special attack, the "Falcon Punch" in that game than he is for anything in his actual franchise of origin. F-Zero's situation is a bit lamentable. Hasn't had a game in ages, until F-Zero 99 on Switch happened as a free sort of novelty release for NSO subscribers. But anyway, I concur with what you surmised, the music in this game backs up the speed and feel of F-Zero excellently when you play it. Really pumps you up!
I was 7 when the original came out. Played some rad racer before this on the original NES, but this game definitely hooked me into what racing games could be. One of my earliest memories of really attaching to video game music too.
F-Zero music is special. I cant think of anything similar other than some melodies from the Megaman X games but its got such a unique groove to it. My favorite version of mute city is the N64 F-Zero X version it has some rockin guitar.
I heard the OG mute city when it came out. Spent so much time playing that game - I was no older than 5 at the time, spent almost all of my time in the practice modes... but it was a great time.
I played this when it came out and it was such an amazing experience from your original normal racing with cars. Here you blow up if you grt hit a lot and have a health bar or u can fall down the track it was just very nice. Lol I like the mario kart 8 one and maybe the one in smash brother game version too. But my personal favorite is big blue theme.
I see F-Zero and Jesse, I click. FYI though, this isn't even the best version of Mute City from GX/AX (Which is an arcade game so you nailed it). If you have the time, lookup "Sounds of Mute City" from GX for an even bigger banger.
F-Zero has a really strong identity, I think. It's much more like comic books or pro wrestling than pretty much any other racer out there. If pro wrestling was so hardcore that an injury forced one guy to have his brain put in a robot so he could keep going for the belt. Or so hardcore that a racer from the predecessor death race 200 years before the F-Zero championship was revived via necromancy so he could compete once more. Or so hardcore that Captain Falcon beats a clone of himself, then a mass murderer, then a cyborg from Hell, then God in a race, and then he walks away talking shit about none of them standing a chance in the first place. That type of crazy hardcore glory-seeking is what defines F-Zero over other racers, and I think it's reflected well in the music. "For the Glory". It helps that mechanically your boost is also your HP, so the faster you go the fewer mistakes you can make before exploding. You have to burn bright and seek glory yourself to win the races. Or perish.
i have a criminally slept on ost that im sure no one have submitted yet but the line is so long i may never get a turn lol. i know jesse will enjoy it too
16:38 i had this growing up. never beat it though, at least past the lowest difficulty, if that. and yeah, the music and graphics on the snes version were perfect for a small crt in a bedroom
Mario Kart is a very theme driven series in regards to its OST. If you're in an ice stage, you'll hear snowy music. If you're in a city, you'll hear "downtown" music. If you're surrounded by mushrooms, you'll hear "mushroom" music. It's kind of hard to narrow down just one song for you to listen to to get an idea of what Mario Kart sounds like. I did a search on the channel and it doesn't seem that you've listened to any original MK music yet (Big Blue from F-Zero doesn't count) Like, maybe one of the Rainbow Roads? Many of them are iconic in their own ways. I guess there's Coconut Mall, if you somehow managed to avoid that song on the internet. But that one's just incredibly memorable. As far as other racing games go, I don't know if it really counts as a racing game, but the hot wheels game Stunt Track Driver has an incredible OST that's too good for its own good. It's incredibly niche, a Windows 95 PC game, but it's a game I really enjoyed as a kid. I'd be surprised if anyone requested anything from the game given how few people know about it.
Even though I played the original F-Zero game when it came out, I didn't really appreciate the soundtrack until I heard the remixes from Super Smash Bros. Melee and F-Zero X. Just last year, Nintendo released F-Zero 99, a battle royale remake of the original F-Zero, complete with the original soundtrack, introducing a new generation of players to the music. "For The Glory" is my second favourite version of Mute City, my most favourite would have to be the one in F-Zero X. As for the feeling of "blowing through a downtown" heard in the Mute City tracks, you're kind of on the right track (pun intended). Mute City is known as the "Metropolis in the Heart of the Space Federation" with a population of over a billion. In one game, it's said that it is the successor to New York City in the F-Zero universe. The race tracks are suspended high in the sky, which offer breathtaking views of the city below.
If you are looking for some more F-Zero GX recommendations/see other recommendations them I suggest: -8 Guitars (Sand Ocean) -Shotgun Kiss (Casino Palace) -Feel Our Pain (Fire Field) [btw, the the names are "song name" ("course/location name")] Also, if you are looking for another song from the SNES game, a less frequently talked about one that I have a soft spot for is Death Wind. I don't want to say much, but it's a bit wild.
Maybe for the next compilation video you do (Like you did for Clash on the Big Bridge.) you do every official version of Mute City? It's the classic 1st stage for most F-Zero games. Every Smash Bros except 64 has a new arrangement of it and it's also in Mario Kart 8 as well. Definitely enough content for a good sized video.
1367MPH I think F-Zero was the first racing game with this aesthetic. Wipeout and Redout definitely came after it but I am not 100% sure if there were any others before it, but I think F-Zero was the first.
Fzero really is in a class of its own when it comes to speed, you basically need jedi reflexes to play it. I'm still convinced nintendo refuses to make another fzero cus it would show how slow mario kart really is XD
F-Zero GX is another reason why i think the gamecube had the best music at the time. So many good tracks. Ps2 and xbox had good tracks to, but gamecube was special.
I remember playing F-Zero on the SNES, but I got much more into F-ZERO X on N64 and GX on the GameCube. 19:35 Here's a cover from Entertainment System. It has Big Blue and Port Town also. ruclips.net/video/AVE6gyktdNE/видео.htmlsi=v1bER-C_e-Ipuijx
I mean, if you're cruising at 2200 km/p/h then this type of music is really the only way to go about it. The songs are pretty good, but what really brings them to life is hearing them as you're actually playing the game.
Hey Jesse, it’s me you’ve probably forgotten about me cause let’s be honest the last time you spoke to me in the comments are prob like last year😂. Anyways, I just wanna check on you if your doing well, I hope that you uploading doesn’t effect your health or anything, like you don’t have to do this all the time for just us, cause we also care about your health and stuff, if you wanna take a break you could it’s indeed your choice. Anyways take care, gl on everything ❤❤❤
You're right that F-Zero was a big deal, especially GX. Nintendo loves to innovate with their titles (outside of modern Pokemon lol), and that want to innovate and bring in new ideas has been stated on record for being the reason why the series is on hiatus besides F-Zero 99 last year. They peaked too quickly with GX.
It'd be cool if he revisited the Fighterz ost again, he got some pretty good music suggestions last time but there's a whole lot more songs in that ost that are absolutely amazing that I think he's missing out on.
man this track disappointed me so much as a kid. Mute City on F-Zero X was AMAZING, and then it drops the sick riff for a consistent eurobeat. Not my taste.
I wouldn't say they're necessarily better, but they're all still great. Mario Kart 8's gets a special mention because goddamn that sax is sexy as fuck.
F-Zero GX's music is interesting because it goes for more of an electronic/techno feel than the rock/metal music of the F-Zero games to come before it.
Lord have mercy on Jesse if he gets requested any of the character themes from this game. Every single one of them is amazing and the composer had no right to go as hard as they did on them.

2200km/ is 1367.017 miles per hour in "freedom units". It's also just a little over the speed of a F-16 Fighter Jet, and these man men are racing on deadly raceways and smacking into each other at that speed. Truly an unhinged bloodsport.
GX/AX (Arcade version) is one of my favorite racing games of all time. F-zero is really the best at capturing the feeling of speed, even at the bonkers advertised numbers. The music helps, but the stages fly by at such insane pace that it really sells the movement.
Edit - made this comment before I saw you did the SNES version, INSTANT nostalgia, holy crap hahaha. SNES F-Zero is a GOATed soundtrack. I do hope we see more of it on the channel.
The reason why F-Zero FEELS fast is mostly down to the size of the tracks. It's a design philosophy that was there from the beginning. F-Zero courses have always been pretty narrow. Having the bumpers on the warning track whipping past you makes even 400km/h feel like you're blazing along.
F-Zero music is truly special, these songs have stood the test of time across multiple console generations and creating a massive amount of covers on RUclips from various artists.

wow, i had no idea there was an arcade version OR that sega worked on f-zero
IIRC, Amusement Vision is a Sega subsidiary.
Sega was also killing it on Xbox actually. Jet Set Radio Future, Gun Valkyrie, Crazy Taxi 3, Otogi (well FromSoft actually but Sega published this and it's Xbox exclusive), Outrun 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta and a few more and some ports. The Xbox was often referred to as a Dreamcast 2 for good reason.

Most F-Zero music is goated. Probably had 1k+ hours on F-Zero GX while I played GameCube and Wii.
One the THEE fastest racing games of all time. What the gamecube could render for its limitations was insane.
Jesse has that ASMR type voice. The Bob Ross of video game music ✌🏻

he should have listen to f zero gx cover of mute city
I'm a bit of a collector of games and still happen to have the SNES and the F-Zero cartridge. :)
Some of us have heard the SNES themes a lot more lately thanks to F-Zero 99 coming out on Switch. It basically being an online multiplayer remake.
The Smash Bros. Ultimate F-ZERO Medley is a gem.
I’d recommend it AFTER he has heard the songs it references.
GX definitely took a more electronica/Eurobeat approach to its soundtrack.
And if I recall correctly, one of the composers on this soundtrack also worked on music in the Yakuza series.
If you are looking for some more F-Zero GX recommendations/see other recommendations them I suggest:
-8 Guitars (Sand Ocean)
-Shotgun Kiss (Casino Palace)
-Feel Our Pain (Fire Field)
[btw, the the names are "song name" ("course/location name")]
Also, if you are looking for another song from the SNES game, a less frequently talked about one that I have a soft spot for is Death Wind. I don't want to say much, but it's a bit wild.
Maybe for the next compilation video you do (Like you did for Clash on the Big Bridge.) you do every official version of Mute City? It's the classic 1st stage for most F-Zero games. Every Smash Bros except 64 has a new arrangement of it and it's also in Mario Kart 8 as well. Definitely enough content for a good sized video.
Now we've got X and GX but the original F-Zero soundtrack is still one of my favorites so we need him to listen to all of that.

I think F-Zero was the first racing game with this aesthetic. Wipeout and Redout definitely came after it but I am not 100% sure if there were any others before it, but I think F-Zero was the first.
The smash melee version of mute city and big blue are awesome.
The F-Zero X (and its arranged album) versions too.
It's blowing-my-mind that the SNES Mute City is something that hadn't been requested by anybody.. like...how...!? 😧
Fzero really is in a class of its own when it comes to speed, you basically need jedi reflexes to play it. I'm still convinced nintendo refuses to make another fzero cus it would show how slow mario kart really is XD
F-Zero GX is another reason why i think the gamecube had the best music at the time. So many good tracks. Ps2 and xbox had good tracks to, but gamecube was special.
Pro Tip: Do NOT listen to F-Zero music while driving.
I remember playing F-Zero on the SNES, but I got much more into F-ZERO X on N64 and GX on the GameCube. 19:35
Here's a cover from Entertainment System. It has Big Blue and Port Town also.

Yeah F-Zero !!!!!!!!!
I mean, if you're cruising at 2200 km/p/h then this type of music is really the only way to go about it. The songs are pretty good, but what really brings them to life is hearing them as you're actually playing the game.
You need to look up the fzero jazz cover album
Hey Jesse, it’s me you’ve probably forgotten about me cause let’s be honest the last time you spoke to me in the comments are prob like last year😂.

Anyways take care, gl on everything ❤❤❤
This song hits different at mach 3, shame the game isn't widely available. Actually the whole OST does. Check out some speedruns sometime
I want Falcon's theme from GX! And of course Big Blue. That Mute City version wasn't great.
You're right that F-Zero was a big deal, especially GX. Nintendo loves to innovate with their titles (outside of modern Pokemon lol), and that want to innovate and bring in new ideas has been stated on record for being the reason why the series is on hiatus besides F-Zero 99 last year.
They peaked too quickly with GX.
It'd be cool if he revisited the Fighterz ost again, he got some pretty good music suggestions last time but there's a whole lot more songs in that ost that are absolutely amazing that I think he's missing out on.
meeee XD 16:35
Love F-Zero, but Nintendo still hasn’t ported this game to the switch. It’s the only game in the series I still haven’t played.
man this track disappointed me so much as a kid. Mute City on F-Zero X was AMAZING, and then it drops the sick riff for a consistent eurobeat. Not my taste.
There’s an unlockable track that’s more faithful to the original, same with Big Blue.
Smash Bros and Mario Kart have a way better version of Mute City than this one x)
I wouldn't say they're necessarily better, but they're all still great. Mario Kart 8's gets a special mention because goddamn that sax is sexy as fuck.
They’re all good in their own ways.
