Everything we know about F-Zero 99

F-Zero 99 is a pixel-styled racing, battle royale game, inspired by the original F-Zero game, but now a highly competitive multiplayer online game featuring up to 99 players who will race to be the sole winner. You will be able to switch out your vehicle with various cosmetics by completing goals while you race, including Captain Falcon-themed cars with different powers. Then, attempt to raise your power meter to boost ahead of the competition and use abilties to clear the way. You'll have to be extra careful not to knock into the sides to avoid getting K.O.ed.
