Secret tracks in F-Zero (SNES)?
Post by Estefanio Hirsch on Jan 16th, 2003, 11:30am

In Sand Ocean, after the very beginning of the track, turn left 90 degrees and stay on the border until the explosion of your car. After that, pay attention, the camera will show a misterious track. This happens too in Silence, but the "secret track" is in the right, just turn right and explode your car to see it. I'm so curious to know if there is a way to race in this tracks. If Anyone can answer, please!

ok here's the deal.. i also noticed those tracks when i played about 8 years ago, and out of curiosity i called the nintendo hotline and asked if there was a secret track, well they didnt know how to answer me so i when back to playing and decided to maybe try to land in one of those tracks using jumps and stuff. btw i believe u can see those tracks in sand ocean, silence and white land 1.. i tried everything i could and on white land 1, on the very last jump of the series of jumps, if u go straight out u will barelly miss this secret track..thats the closest i ever got. well, i believe even if u were to land on those tracks the most likely think that would happen would be the little spaceship thing would take u out of there and put u back on the normal track... but it is kinda cool.. i remember i couldnt sleep properly imagining there would be 'secret' tracks that u could maybe play on.. and no one else knew about it heheheh.. but i guess its nothing more than a glitch in the game.... or maybe they put it on purpose to make us wonder whats out there

Looks like the track you can see from Sand Ocean is the Silence track with its 90° corners and from Silence you can see the straight from Sand Ocean.
My guess is that these were probably programmed next to each other on the same 'plane' to save space on the card maybe because they use a similar background theme but just with diferent colours. Just an educated guess of course.. hadn't really paid much attention to it before.

Yes, I think you are right, its logic. And if you pay attention to the ground out of the track in Sand Ocean and Silence, they are the same, but only with different colors and movement. Thank you, it seems there is no more discussion about this (but one or two secret tracks would be good in this game, don't you think?).

Ok. After hearing this, I better cough it up.
If you saw these tracks, they look like those from F-Zero 2. Just not all of them were used... I played the game, and thought I saw F-Zero SNES tracks.
Just my 2 cents on the issue.
I also have a Super Smash Brothers Melee Secret.

Talking 'bout that, you know that you can reach a little area on WL2 if you time the big jump perfectly. I did that less than three minutes ago, but when I landed the freaking rescue ship came and took me back to the main course. So do you know if you can disable the rescue ship in any way, action replay or beating the system, it doesn't matter (if it only can be done with AR I guess I'll have to download the ROM or something...) I really want to explore "the area beyond".

You can't disable the rescue ship. And the other map after the jump on WL2 is WL1. I did the same jump and landed there.

If you play WL 1 and go to the wall of the first icy curve, you'll see the WL2 Jump. In SO you'll see Silence, and veicerversa. None of the "hidden" maps are any different from the ones that you cant play in the game.

The game was pretty big for its time, so they had to save up some space and put a few tracks on the same platform.

I'm pretty sure that there are other tracks together like that, but we just can't see them. I'm sure MC and PT are linked, because I can see a track in distance on both maps.

So don't worry about them "ghost" tracks and just enjoy the scenary, hehe.

I used the action replay/game shark to make the game allow me on the terrain. Its wierd the secret tracks you say you saw are just the same tracks repeated over and over again. I went on silence and I went in every direction yet which ever way I went, I ended up going in a circle back to silence track.
I tried this on other tracks and the same thing happens. What track you are actually seeing is the other side of the track your currently on. Jeez its hard to explain.

However there are more then 15 tracks in the game, In fact there seems to be 255 tracks altogether. I used the AR to select track numbers above 7 on practice and managed to find loads of tracks. Tracks 16 to 20 actually seem to be new tracks although they don't actually have names just the track number. For example track 16 is Mute city 1 enviroment but a different shape track its hard to explain the shape its kind of like a shoe shape I guess. Track 20 is like Big blue but is too hard in fact I could'nt complete it because there was a big jump at the end similar to Queen 5. After 20 these tracks get more and more glitchy some. Some tracks crah when they load up. Some tracks can't even be concidered tracks, al they are, are pieces of glitched up land. Track 53 is just complete land/road, all it is is desert you can't even kill yourself because there is infinate land.

If anyones got a old AR or GS then I'll gladly give them the codes for this wierd glitch.

No, actually Gannondorf is the best at HRC if you know how to do a bat drop combo then to can easily get over 6000FT.

Please, please, please can I have the Pro action Replay codes? I've wondered about this for the past 10 years. Heck, me and my best friend used to debate this over pizza. I've always wondered if there were secret tracks in F-Zero. Please can I have the codes? Also, thanks for clearing this up.
