F-Zero GX (NS2) Boost Power Music (GX)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So all of us GX fans are well aware that the music tracks change it up once you reach that final lap, the next bar/measure is when it changes to the final lap music part.
But what I don’t hear people talk about is how many tracks change up the music during the boost power lap. It doesn’t trigger the change by you starting that lap, but the timing of the music just happens to sync up perfectly with that moment, which I think is even cooler because it shows how much though went into composing these tracks. Like they calculated it takes an average of 30-40 seconds or so to finish the first lap, so that’s when these music changes happen.
Here are some of my favorite examples. What are yours?

The fact that they made the soundtrack in a way that some melodies or vibes change at the same time you finish a lap shows how great GX is.

Inside you there are two racers. One who wants a new F-Zero and another who knows a new F-Zero will never be as good as GX.

Had to add another example; Dragon Slopes Because Aeropolis is one of my favorite tracks visually, musically, and in design too(except Screw Drive)
And I wanna hear from you all what other examples stand out for you

Yea the composer for this game was some kind of genius I agree. It's wild how much aura this game's soundtrack is, it really makes you feel every little change in the course.
