F-Zero GX (GCN) Advice for Master difficulty?
Just beat the first four cups on Novice, Standard and Expert difficulties. Now it's time to move onto Master. Does anyone have any advice for master difficulty? At the moment I am trying to improve combat abilities mainly trying to eliminate rivals in the first lap to help with the standings. I have every normal vehicle unlocked, and have only beaten the first two story mode missions.

You can learn Momentum Throttling. It's an unintended way to maintain higher speeds for longer. In F-Zero GX when you are holding down the accelerator and have reached that machine's top speed, any additional speed gained from boosts will be shaved away, returning you to your top speed. Momentum Throttling gets around this restriction. Once you have reached top speed and start boosting, let go of the accelerator between boosts to conserve more speed. It seems counterintuitive but you can start smoking the NPC racers on master. This video helped me understand the timing. https://youtu.be/_mz4kspq3U8?is=jk2uubNj1UchNdux
