** Fire Field is a one of the game's big surprises due to the track being unavailable in practice mode. The track has its own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejAEx_kWmko rocking sound track]], appropriate difficulty for the game's final track, and the whole Fire Field looks like an imposing, fiery, lava planet.

* For older fans, Red Canyon II in the SNES original can be this. It's a high speed track with the longest (double!) jump in the game as an optional shortcut, and when the game came out in the early 90s, it was just about the greatest feeling of speed a video game had produced up to that point. Keep in mind, most 16-bit era racers didn't even have hills, much less wild loops like 3D F-Zero games.

* In ''GP Legend'', the showdown between Black Shadow and [[TheStarscream his unruly subordinate Zoda]] is pretty awesome no matter which of the two's storylines you're playing. That is, it's awesome for ''Black Shadow''.

** If you're playing as Zoda, just when it thinks he's won and he opens the cockpit of the Black Bull...it turns out Black Shadow switched out with Octoman! Zoda much later gets his just desserts when Black Shadow rigs his machine to break down.

* In ''GP Legend'', the showdown between Black Shadow and [[TheStarscream his unruly subordinate Zoda]] is pretty awesome no matter which of the two's storylines you're playing. If you're playing as Zoda, then, well, you just destroyed ''[[BigBad Black Shadow]]''. If you're playing as Black Shadow, you get a cutscene where a very ''furious'' Black Shadow tells Zoda that no one ever, ''ever'' betrays him and gets away with it.

--> '''Black Shadow:''' Incredible... I can't believe you managed to bring Clash back... \\
'''Zoda:''' Hah ha ha hah... Absolutely no problem for a master like me! I mean, I could beat the Dark Emperor himself! Hah ha ha haah... \\
'''Black Shadow:''' Zoda...What was that? \\
''(The Illusion BGM begins to play)'' \\

If you're playing as Zoda, then, well, you just destroyed ''[[BigBad when it thinks he's won and he opens the cockpit of the Black Shadow]]''. Bull...it turns out Black Shadow switched out with Octoman! Zoda much later gets his just desserts when Black Shadow rigs his machine to break down.
---> '''Black Shadow:''' [[YouFool Fool]]...Zoda, you must know...you are close to death. ''(taking Zoda into his arms)'' Whether you live or die is entirely up to you!
**
If you're playing as Black Shadow, your goal isn't just to defeat Zoda, but to ''destroy his vehicle''. Afterwards you get a cutscene where a very ''furious'' Black Shadow tells Zoda that no one ever, ''ever'' betrays him and gets away with it.
---> '''Black Shadow:''' What's wrong, Zoda? Finished yet? \\
'''Zoda:''' Argh! Why...Why you... \\
''(As Black Shadow moves his machine in...)'' \\
'''Black Shadow:''' Zoda, you wretch! How dare you stand up to me?!?...Ever. EVER! \\
'''Zoda:''' AAAARGH!!! \\
''(A strike can be heard..)'' \\
'''Black Shadow:''' I'm afraid you must be punished. You'll have to pledge an eternal oath to me now!!!

To clarify, Captain Falcon is flying at universe-sundering speeds head on towards the BigBad, Black Shadow. He sacrifices himself by popping the cockpit and using the momentum to unleash his memetic punch... And the force destroys ''1/8 of the galaxy.''

** Mrs. Arrow actually gets full marks in the bodybuilding competition, the only contestant to do so.
** Digi-Boy outwits another driver who plows into him. After goading him into chasing him, he suddenly stops and lets him blow by...where he's promptly given a speeding ticket by Phoenix. He waves at him as he drives off. Even the lyrics from his theme sync up perfectly: "If there's another way for you to break down, it's just to let you go first and make a mistake"
