"The Missed Potential of F-Zero 99: Nintendo's Untapped Gem"

TL;DR Summary
The article criticizes F-Zero 99, a battle royale version of the racing game franchise, for lacking depth and failing to justify its existence compared to other racing games like Mario Kart. The resource management mechanic of balancing speed boosts and health is seen as flawed, leading to deaths caused by boredom rather than skill. The article suggests that F-Zero should focus on either racing or automotive combat to establish a stronger identity. Overall, the author believes that F-Zero 99 is a waste of Nintendo's potential and hopes for a more serious battle royale version of Mario Kart.
