F-Zero 99 has proven the viability of OG FZero gameplay on for modern fans.
My thoughts:
Fans are going to say “This means you should make a new #FZero successor to FZeroGX”.
I’m going to disagree.
What this actually means is you should make F-Zero Maker as a successor to Mario Maker.
The OG tracks are 2D and simple, they could very easily be hand-made by players in an editor.
To actually answer the question: more retro Mode 7 stuff, but leaning on the fact they’re hovercraft. They should be able to jump whenever. It’d cost energy, and the landing would have consequences, but there’s immense potential in tiddlywinking your opponents into barriers and off of ledges. It opens up risk / reward choices for alternate paths you have to launch yourself onto or out of.
