Japanese modder BTEST4HE has discovered cheat codes to unlock the long-lost five Golden Cars in F-Zero GX. These are accessible on all versions of the game, including the Nintendo Switch Online version of the game available via Nintendo Switch 2.
Initially, these were only accessible via memory card connectivity between F-Zero GX and its arcade counterpart F-Zero AX. Now though, the following codes have been found for use on the F-Zero Shop Screen:
- Thunderstorm – X, Z, Y, Z, X, Z, Y, X
- El Dorado – X, RIGHT, X, Z, Y, LEFT, LEFT, Z
- Chrono Symphony – LEFT, RIGHT, Z, RIGHT, LEFT, X, RIGHT, Z
- Bahamut – Y, Y, Z, RIGHT, LEFT, Z, X, Y
- Gladiator – RIGHT, Z, X, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, Z, X
The Nintendo eShop describes F-Zero GX as follows:
Power down the straight. Lean into the hairpin bend, twitching the steering at the perfect moment to edge past two rivals. Manoeuvre onto the boost pad, just avoiding the smouldering shell of an unluckier racer’s craft. Power up and scream up, around, and back down the 360° loop. Check the speedometer. 2000 km/h. It can only be F-Zero.
F-Zero GX brings Nintendo’s much-loved F-Zero series – born on Super Nintendo, matured on Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance – roaring into the next generation. Devotees of earlier versions will be right at home with F-Zero GX‘s familiar controls and strategies; magnet-o-racing newcomers will be tearing around the rollercoaster tracks like experts in no time; and everyone will be on their knees in awe at the speed and splendour of this Nintendo GameCube racing wonder.
