F-ZERO X - ENGINE SETTINGS GUIDE

Author: Clemens Franke

--------------
 Introduction
--------------


Hey! What? An engine settings guide? Why? Well, I was missing the settings in
all F-Zero X faqs that I´ve seen so far, so I thought I should do it. It is
in my opinion very important to have the right setting to win the GP races in
the expert and master levels.

It is a good idea to take a look into a "real" F-Zero X faq with hints for
all the tracks. In my opinion marshmallow´s is the best.

- This is an in-depth faq, you should have some experiences with F-Zero X.

- Here´s a graphic of the screen where you are able to set your engine:

    |                                  |                                  |

    <---                                                               --->

 Acceleration                                                   Maximum Speed

You can customize your machine towards acceleration or maximum speed. Press
left or right on the control stick to move the arrow to the desired setting.
The default setting is 0.


- There is no track that needs customizing your engine to acceleration.

- Remember, this guide contains only my personal opinions. If you have a
  better solution please throw me a mail.

- All recommendations are only applicable in the GP races, not for Time
  Attack.
