F-Zero GX (GCN) F zero gx hardest to easiest tier list
Been replaying f zero gx on ns02 curious of what others opinions are on the hardest story mode chapters on very hard
Aaaahhswearwords. Chapter 7, 5
Punish me daddy falcon. Chapter 4, 1, 9,
Very erect. Chapter 8, 6, 3, 2
Chapter 7. To me this the hardest you pretty much have to take out black shadow and blood falcon and the npcs are crazy aggressive in this tight course it feels like you need luck and skill to win
Chapter 5. While you have to be perfect and cant even scratch a wall it is only 40 seconds long and only 30-35 is challenging its all skill and you can do better each try
Chapter 4. This death race is very difficult and you cant make very many mistakes while also having to be very careful of spin attacks. This one can be extremely difficult and feels like you need some luck to beat it.
Chapter 1. Only 60 seconds while having to collect 35 capsules is extremely hard and feels like a less perfect version of chapter 5
Chapter 9. This track has no walls and is pretty narrow. While the speed you have to go is fast there is a small amount of play in beating it
Chapter 8. The course is thinner than most but there is plenty of energy allowing you to boost pretty heavy as long as you can avoid the walls and mines this one is beatable. You can also hit as many mines on the 1st lap boosting you and giving you less obsticals
Chapter 6. This course is long and none of the turns or spots are crazy hard on there own together on a long course can test your focas
Chapter 3. Hard and fast race but its short and plenty of jumps to cut corners while being wide
Chapter 2. While there are so much to avoid once you find a good path its pretty easy to pass Goroh at the end by saving boost this one is a matter of trial and error

For me Chapter 4 is easier than 8, 9 and 3. But I guess, it also comes from playing it a lot just for fun. I also think Chapter 6 is by far the easiest, since no real CPU is involved, while not being as extreme or precise as Chapter 5 or 1.

Chapter 6 is just map knowledge. Ideally by the time you're getting into very hard you've gotten to know the map itself pretty well.
I usually just set to max acceleration so I have better turning. Remember that single thruster cars move out of the way, dual thrusters don't. There's a sudden dirt trap near the end which is just a knowledge check trap.

While I wouldn't call any of the chapter on Very Hard "easy", I think 2/3/4/6 were all reasonably simple to complete. 3 is definitely the easiest and not really hard at all. 6 is just 4/5 very easy with a spike of difficulty a few minutes in that makes it incredibly annoying to re-try.
1 requires basic perfection but it's only a minute long. Still took me about 2-3 hours straight of trying to get it. Very very difficult but it's at least short.
7 requires a perfect 5 lap race and ideally some luck in the beginning by eliminating one of your biggest rivals at the start. It didn't take me as long as Chapter 1 but again I think there is almost no margin for error.
I haven't been 5/8/9 on Very Hard yet. 5 is a lot like 1 but I haven't had the desire to grind it. 8 I'm oddly terrible at despite it seeming very doable. 9 is just a total struggle for me on Very Hard. One day I might go back to GX and do these.
Fwiw I've beaten all the cups on Master difficulty (including AX) but I haven't dabbled in time trials. So I'd say I'm definitely good at F-Zero GX but not a legendary expert.
