Sure, you go fast in F-Zero, but that's hardly all there is to it... you vastly undersimplify it. For one thing there's the 30 car field. That changes the gameplay a lot from many other games in this genre.

I'd say the racing is more complex than Mario Kart, actually... MK has weapons, and that's about it... the actual racing isn't as complex or challenging as F-Zero. Never has been...
