If you were to describe F-Zero as "cars going around tracks for five laps," you'd only be half-right… because that's only half of what makes F-Zero what it is.

Imagine a typical car race track – something you'd see in any grand prix or even stock car race. Take that track and hang it high in the air over, say… a barren desert planet, a tropical paradise, or even populated cities like New York or Chicago. Now, put the cars on the track… but replace the usual designs with extravagant, sleek, super-aerodynamic styles. Also, get rid of those old gasoline engines and worn-out rubber wheels… and replace them with souped-up jet engines, powerful turbines, and anti-gravity devices for smooth, friction-less motion. Finally, bring it all together and make those super-fast machines of the future fly along those suspended tracks at speeds like you've never seen, dodging the other cars and environmental hazards like bombs and magnets threatening to pull the machine into the powered guard rails or even off the very tracks themselves!

That's F-Zero, baby. And that's what you can expect from F-Zero Circuit racing.

F-Zero Nebula Highway is a hack of F-Zero for the Super Nintendo entertainment system, it features new courses and palettes. There is also some improvements from the original.

Features:
-All new 15 courses to race on.
-New palettes.
Miscellaneous changes:
-CPU and player sprites improved.
-Road and barriers will flash whenever a CPU hits them.
-Improvements on explosive vehicles' behaviors.
-Improvements on CPU's positions on screen according to perspective.

Even though this hack is aimed to all audiences, it can be tough for new players to play on higher classes, The unlockable master class is, as its name implies, the hardest difficulty.
It is not impossible though, the game has been balanced and tested to make every vehicle useful on different courses, the game can be completed with all playable vehicles on the hardest difficulty.

Please consider this is a complete BETA version of F-Zero Nebula Highway, this means the game is complete, but the hack will receive updates as new courses will be added, along with other features.

You must use a headerless F-Zero USA ROM to apply the patch in.

Update (12/07/2018): Version 0.1.1 has been released. This version just adds the "Player falling off" animation on practice mode.
