Oh yeah one more thing with the videos. I'm going to copy someones movements in the video (And trust me me I can do it) so that it should work for me the way it did for them and if it does then good I happy I was proved wrong. But if not then what I said holds true and that means someone spliced and messed with the video (Like splicing the stage select screen with a race from beginner class. So I think that's fair. this will just back up the video so that I can't say anything about it.

No problem. I just finished beating Pawn Master with Falcon Mk-II. I'm copying the video of Pawn Final (used NO boosts to finish first) and then the summary of all five races. The other race videos will be available upon request ... I'm not putting all five in there just because the file would be quite large.
I'll post the link to the video here when it's ready.

I have no means of making a video but I can take a snapshot of the menu, as you now the difficulties already beaten are shwon in green. If you want them I'll gladly edit my post with the screenshots.

14.6 Mb video of Falcon Mk-II beating Pawn Final on Master difficulty and the summaries of all five Pawn Master races:
(video link removed ... tx3000 has received it, and that was the purpose)
Edit: BTW, I lost a craft on Pawn 2 when I carelessly didn't recharge lost power each lap.

You might have to right-click and Save Target As ... that's what I'm having to do to download it properly.

Ok my question to you is how the hell did you take the corners and not have 4 or 5 vehicles pass you every time? Every single time on master class reguardless of which track I'm on or where I am on the track, or which lap. I always have at least 4-5 vehicles pass me either that or I get slammed into a pedestrian and get sent flying backward. There hasn't been one time that this hasn't happened to me. So the only conclusion I can come to is that you somehow managed to not lose speed around the corners you are taking. On top of that you didn't get slamed into any walls or pedestrians when The CPU slammed into you from behind. I also don't know what happened in that video, but I counted only 4-5 pedestrians on your track. When I'm on master class I get about 9 or 10 pedestrians. What the hell is that all about?

Do you drift turn around the corners? Drift turning is using the opposite shoulder button when you are turning. For example, to turn sharply to the right, you use L + right on the pad, and you slide through the turn without losing speed. That's what you are seeing in the shart turns (hairpin turn and final turn really need drift turning to avoid the problems you speak of.).

Nice video Dave, but tsk tsk, 2nd on both the Stark Farm tracks. 
There were atleast 15 backmarkers on Dave's video. They always come up in the most annoying places, don't you agree.
Also, did you notice that everytime Dave took the PF shortcut he moved into 1st place.

Yeah, got bounced around in traffic on the last lap and could only recover to 2nd. Oh well, the point was to show our new friend what he's missing, not to make the perfect instructional vid.

"Pedestrians" (the folks here call them backmarkers) don't really concern me that much. I just go around them as much as possible. I didn't program the game of course, but my guess is that more backmarkers are created when you fall further back in the pack. So my staying at or near the lead helped me avoid additional traffic. That's just my theory anyway, I don't have any research to confirm it.
And not hitting the walls after getting bumped is just a matter of watching the "check" marker so you know when they're coming. If you are lined up evenly in front of a vehicle when it hits you, and you are driving straight ahead, it just bumps you forward.
Half of the battle is practice, practice, practice. The other half is the belief that it CAN be done. Which is one reason F-Zero Central is here ... to show you the amazing things that can be accomplished in the F-Zero games.

OK, even though the master difficilty is hard, it is possible. Ive beaten the Pawn Master difficulty with some ease but the next three are incredibly hard, i practice against masters and win but cant on grand prix. Now, one thing is that pedestrians are not pedestrians, if you drive bakwards you'll notice that they are drivers (theres about 10 of them). Now i have Falcon Mk 11 and he is no help on beating master so i think the game may be to hard. The boost may also get you in trouble because they are horrible on turns. This is my perspective of the game.
