Hint: Snake Technique
This controversial "technique" exploits F-Zero's finely tuned physics model to simulate special boosts caused by correctly leaning into curves using the controller's shoulder buttons.

To use the snake technique, select a heavy car with a high grip rating (A) like Black Shadow's Black Bull, then set it up for high acceleration. By alternating L and R and turning left and right at the same time, players then drive serpentines and essentially simulate turns on a straightway. Use of this technique on wide courses results in incredible lap times.

If you're having trouble executing the technique, know that it's not a matter of rapidly pressing buttons. Turn left while holding L, then turn right while holding R after you've performed a visible turn.

Repeat ad infinem and get faster and faster. You'll see results even when using Captain Falcon's machine -- just make sure it's set up for high acceleration. Don't overdo it. When you're steering into turns, steady your craft and don't forget to hit the dash plates.

Hint: Car Setup
Pay attention to the Machine Setting graph before racing. Each F-Zero racer can be customized by moving the slider to the left or the right.
