Excitebike 64 is the other N64 racer in the same class as those three.

Oh yeah, and XG2 for N64 is indeed no good... the terrible framerates on the N64 version are on the nearly unplayable level far too often!

Oh yeah, and don't act like I'm stupid for liking those games. You just clearly do not like the subgenre very much -- which is fine with me, as long as you just admit that fact! I mean... those are easily some of the best in the genre that I listed there. Yet you pass them ALL off as bad or mediocre. That says everything I ever needed to know about what you think of futuristic racers.

So you dislike the genre. I love it... so is it SO surprising that I think a bunch of games in the genre are really good? Comparing that to Darunia and his love of Quest is truly idiotic.

Oh yeah, and F-Zero X just isn't so far ahead that its clear that its the best. Not even close. Why?

1) music. Its okay, but not nearly as good as Rush 2049's, Wipeout 64's, or Extreme-G 2's music. Oh, sure, I think F-Zero has nice music... but Wipeout, Extreme-G 2, and Rush 2049 (in that order) are all better.

2) multiplayer. F-Zero X, compared to Wipeout 64 and Rush 2049, is about as fun as Star Fox 64 when compared to Goldeneye... its just lackluster.

Which is why when me and my cousin play F-Zero X we generally play either the campaign mode or timetrial, not multiplay... its just not that fun!

3) that incredibly annoying '3-2-1 go'
mechanical voice... it is awful!

4) replay value... or lack of it. Once you beat Master mode, all that's left is trying to unlock (and futily trying to beat) the staff ghosts in timetrial mode -- something that just doesn't interest me much at all. What's so great about F-Zero X is the feeling of racing in a big crowd of cars! When you're all alone it's not nearly as fun... Wipeout 64 is better, since you can try to get gold medals -- an extremely challenging (and admittedly reward-free... but hey, you do it for the fun factor, not for rewards...) task that is far harder than anything in the main race mode of F-Zero X.

As for Rush... that one has near-unlimited replay value, between the sheer fun of just driving around in the various modes and the challenge of those coins...

Also... how about you read the rest of my post, that I added in the edit? :)
