In *F-ZERO GX*, a title in the *F-ZERO* series released for the Nintendo GameCube, a hidden command that unlocks content from the arcade version, *F-ZERO AX*, has been reported on X and is generating a lot of buzz.
Unrestricted Access to Arcade Content
*F-ZERO GX* is a title in the *F-ZERO* series released for the GameCube in 2003. Set in the near future, it lets players enjoy ultra-high-speed races as they race through courses at speeds exceeding 1,000 km/h.
This game features a hidden element that allows players to access content—including tracks and vehicles—from the motion-simulator arcade machine *F-ZERO AX*, developed by Sega and released in arcades.However, the conditions for unlocking them were extremely difficult, and the only methods available—such as linking a GameCube memory card to an arcade cabinet—are now nearly impossible to replicate. The hidden command recently discovered not only unlocks ‘F-ZERO AX’ vehicles and cups but also allows players to unlock custom vehicle parts that were originally distributed at events.A full 23 years have passed since its 2003 release, and these details have finally come to light.
However, since some commands require connecting four controllers and inputting commands simultaneously with all four, there appears to be a different kind of challenge—such as having to prepare the controllers and the difficulty of executing the commands—that sets this apart from previous methods. Details on each command and demonstration videos can be found via search engines like X.
*F-ZERO GX* is currently available in *Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Classics*, which is playable by subscribers to the “Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack” on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Additionally, these hidden commands appear to be usable in both the original GameCube version and the “Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Classics” version.
