Start
F-Zero's quick start is a bit different from most Nintendo racers -- so forget
about trying to hit the A-Button when the lights turn green. To get the fastest
start possible, hold down your accelerator prior to the start and rev the engine
to the point where your fuselage's begin to light up. Now listen to the engine
sound. You want it to be in the mid-range, not the high-pitched sound that
occurs when you continue to hold down the accelerator. If the engine is in the
mid-range when the race starts, you will get a fast start that propels you in
front of the pack. If you rev the engine too high, you will also boost ahead --
but then lose power and slow down for a few seconds.
