The Backyard Sports series returns after an almost 15 year absence, with a remaster of the original baseball title.

A Japanese-only sequel to the sci-fi racing game F-Zero: GP Legend, based on the anime adaptation of the F-Zero series. It features a built-in track editor, allowing players to build their own course and trade them with others.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>F-Zero Climax is a futuristic <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/over-the-shoulder/3015-2621/" data-ref-id="3015-2621">behind-the-back</a> sci-fi racing game developed by <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/suzak-inc/3010-1896/" data-ref-id="3010-1896">Suzak</a> and published by <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/nintendo/3010-90/" data-ref-id="3010-90">Nintendo</a> for the <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/game-boy-advance/3045-4/" data-ref-id="3045-4">Game Boy Advance</a> exclusively in Japan on October 21, 2004.</p><p>The sequel to the 2003 game <a href="/f-zero-gp-legend/3030-13882/" data-ref-id="3030-13882">F-Zero: GP Legend</a>, Climax is also <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/games-based-on-anime/3015-765/" data-ref-id="3015-765">based on</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Zero#Anime" data-target="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">the 2003-2004 anime F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu</a>, itself an adaptation of the <a href="/f-zero/3025-180/" data-ref-id="3025-180">F-Zero</a> game series. While it does not feature a dedicated Story mode, it features a new Survival mode that allows players to unlock character profiles and episode synopsis from the anime.</p><p>In addition, the game features an updated <a href="/boost/3015-461/" data-ref-id="3015-461">boost power</a> mechanic (combining <a href="/f-zero-x/3030-18808/" data-ref-id="3030-18808">F-Zero X</a> gauge-based boosting with <a href="/f-zero/3030-15242/" data-ref-id="3030-15242">F-Zero</a> limited-use "super-boosting") and a built-in <a href="/in-game-map-editor/3015-269/" data-ref-id="3015-269">circuit editor</a> (with support for transferring circuits to other players either via <a href="/game-boy-advance-link-cable/3000-54/" data-ref-id="3000-54">Link Cable</a> or through <a href="/password/3015-38/" data-ref-id="3015-38">passwords</a>).</p><p>F-Zero Climax is notable for being the last game in the series (as of May 2021). It was later digitally re-released as a <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/virtual-console/3015-2925/" data-ref-id="3015-2925">Virtual Console</a> title for the <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/wii-u/3045-139/" data-ref-id="3045-139">Wii U</a> exclusively in Japan on December 16, 2015.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The core gameplay is identical to that of the other 2D F-Zero games.</p><p>Like other F-Zero games, the player's booster unlocks at the start of the second lap. However, in Climax, the player also receives a "Super Boost" stock at the end of each lap. By pressing the booster button twice in succession, the machine gains an even stronger boost of speed at the cost of one stock.</p><p>The player can slide into turns or quickly shift to a side by using the shoulder buttons. Pressing L and R together executes a spin attack; the booster can be used to enhance this attack, as well.</p><h2>Modes</h2><h3>Grand Prix</h3><p>The main mode of the game. Players compete in five- or eight-track sets and attempt to place 1st.</p><h3>Survival</h3><p>The player take on a sequence of challenges, such as competing in a one lap race or staying above a certain speed limit. It consists of Tour, Challenge, and Battle.</p><h3>Time Attack</h3><p>The player can select a track from Grand Prix and race for the best time. It also includes the Zero Test, which challenges the player to complete a portion of track within a time limit.</p><h3>Edit</h3><p>This mode allows the player to create a track. The track can then be traded to friends using either the Link Cable or a password feature.</p><h3>Communication</h3><p>This allows up to four players to compete against each other.</p><h3>Options</h3><p>This mode lets players change the controls, and includes two galleries: one features the profile for racers and their machines, and the other contains episode summaries for the anime series.</p><h2>Machines</h2><p>All 34 machines (and their drivers) from <a href="/f-zero-gp-legend/3030-13882/" data-ref-id="3030-13882">F-Zero: GP Legend</a> return, along with four new ones (Red Bull, Soldier Anchor, and Hyper Death Anchor), and a hidden version of .

Along with characters and art from the series, the game includes a dedicated Story mode involving multiple characters from the series (including anime protagonist <a href="/rick-wheeler/3005-15834/" data-ref-id="3005-15834">Rick Wheeler</a>, a <a href="/police/3015-1011/" data-ref-id="3015-1011">police detective</a> from the past who is hunting down convict <a href="/zoda/3005-5223/" data-ref-id="3005-5223">Zoda</a>).</p><p>While much of the gameplay is similar to <a href="/f-zero-maximum-velocity/3030-46/" data-ref-id="3030-46">F-Zero: Maximum Velocity</a>, the game includes some gameplay elements from <a href="/f-zero-x/3030-18808/" data-ref-id="3030-18808">F-Zero X</a>, including the updated power-based boost mechanic, the removal of per-lap disqualification, car combat using side-attacks, and a full 30-machine roster in each race.</p><p>The Japanese version is notable for including support for the <a href="/e-reader/3015-3782/" data-ref-id="3015-3782">Card-e-Reader+</a> peripheral, allowing players to unlock new machines, vehicles, and <a href="/ghost-racer/3015-3097/" data-ref-id="3015-3097">ghost racers</a> by scanning special cards found in card vending machine packs.</p><p>It later received a direct Japanese-only sequel, known as <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/f-zero-climax/3030-21252/" data-ref-id="3030-21252">F-Zero Climax</a>, and was also digitally re-released as a <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/virtual-console/3015-2925/" data-ref-id="3015-2925">Virtual Console</a> title for the <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/wii-u/3045-139/" data-ref-id="3045-139">Wii U</a> in 2014-2015.</p><h2>Gameplay and Game Modes</h2><h3>Gameplay</h3><p>F-Zero GP Legend retains the gameplay mechanics of the F-Zero franchise. The player can maneuver, accelerate, brake, boost, and attack with their vehicle while racing on course.</p><h3>Game Modes</h3><h4>Story</h4><p>The game's story mode features eight characters that recounts their account of events of the F-Zero GP Legend story. Each character has five total missions that the player must accomplish in order to advance the character's story. GP Legend's missions offers different challenges for the player to complete outside of finishing first in a race, such as following a machine to a destination or destroy a specific machine within a number of laps in a race.</p><h4>Grand Prix</h4><p>Grand Prix mode is F-Zero's classic race mode that pits the player against 29 other racers over five race courses in a cup (Platinum Cup has eight races). GP Legend features three difficulty levels (novice, standard, expert) and four cups (bronze, silver, gold, platinum). Platinum cup is unlocked once the player completes all cups on novice and standard difficulties.</p><p>Expert difficulty presents the "second" versions of each track for bronze, silver, and gold cups. Each track under those three cups feature course changes that provide a tougher challenge.</p><h4>Time Attack</h4><p>Time Attack gives the player five laps to post the fastest lap and total times on a race course.</p><h4>Training</h4><p>Training mode allows the player to simulate racing conditions by choosing the number of computer racers and their difficulty level over a desired number of laps on a race course.</p><h4>Zero Test</h4><p>Zero Test mode challenges the player's skill by having the player complete a section of a race course with a designated machine under a targeted time. Players can earn a gold, silver, or bronze trophies if they complete the challenge under the trophy's target time.</p><h2>Machines</h2><p>All 30 machines (and their corresponding drivers) from <a href="/f-zero-x/3030-18808/" data-ref-id="3030-18808">F-Zero X</a> are included, along with 4 new machines from the anime (Dragon Bird, Elegance Liberty, Moon Shadow, and Panzer Emerald).</p><p>Like in F-Zero X, each machine can be tuned between Acceleration and Top Speed and have their own unique rating, using a letter grade from E (weakest) to A (strongest), in three categories:</p><ul><li><strong>Body</strong>, which rates the machine's strength in terms to the damage it can withstand from collisions against both the wall and other racers.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>Boost</strong>, which rates the machine's boost power in terms of speed increase and duration.</li></ul><ul><li><strong>Grip</strong>, which rates machine's track "grip" in terms of maintaining control while turning corners.</li></ul><p>In <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/download-play/3015-2407/" data-ref-id="3015-2407">Single Pak</a> multiplayer, the game only uses different-colored copies of the Dragon Bird (Green Bird, Yellow Bird, Red Bird, and Blue Bird).
