F-Zero - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Smooth McGroove 

A sequel to the original F-Zero? Released only in Japan? That's BS!

5:20 There's also a scene in the F-Zero anime where Ryu and Jack have to dress up like women to prevent racers from being kidnapped during the Women's Cup and EAD volunteers to go along, already dressed like Princess Peach.

The F-Zero/Starfox crossovers make sense in an odd way considering that Takaya Imamura was the lead character designer of both franchises.

It's been 13 years Nintendo. Get on that sequel!!!

I don't believe that this was Smooth McGroove. He didn't speak in hums and whistles.

I thought the only thing McGroove said was "buh?"

There really needs to be a new F Zero game. The Mario Kart 8 DLC track just reminds me of how amazing a new F Zero game could look.

Wait, that's what he sounds like when he's talking? He doesn't just sing every time he opens his mouth? *My entire life has been a lie...*

Wait? Smooth McGroove? But this sounds like a calm Egoraptor. I never heard him speaking, just singing ^^

F-Zero NX just has to happen.

Did you know: we're never freaking getting another F-Zero or Star Fox game

I've always imagined the actual racing in the F-Zero universe is pretty much pro wrestling with supercars. Think about it. Crazy, larger-than-life characters that are never seen out of costume "competing" in events with ridiculous plots that still require a lot of physical conditioning and lightning-quick reflexes. It's kayfabe for the 24th century.

Hearing him not say ba bum, la or da is a change.

"Feat. Smooth McGroove" "FEAT. SMOOTH MCGROOVE" *"FEAT. SMOOTH MCGROOVE"* *_"FEAT. SMOOTH MCGROOVE"_*

Thumbs up if you want a new F-Zero.

3:52 The first banner with the blue texts reads "Caution, Slow down." in Japanese. But translated to "Go Fast".. wut?

I never thought smoth mcgroove's voice would sound like this

Glad to see one for F-zero. Also happy to see who is finally driving that little UFO that picks you up and the hidden AiAi reference. However... ugh, I REALLY hate to be that one guy and say this but...F-zero GX wasn't shown off at E3 2005, it was 2003. Great video overall.

F-Zero GX already looks pretty ballin' for a gamecube game. Imagine a Wii U F-Zero game then... From what I'm reading, F-zero is like the Dark Souls of racing... And Mario kart just isn't fast enough... Futuristic visuals, faster then Sanic, wonderful soundtrack... I want a new F-zero. NOW.

The First F-Zero was and still is the hardest racing ever in my opinion.

For some reason, I thought McGroove was going to be acapella-ing the words, haha!

Atari - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. James Rofle

F-Zero X for the N64 was one of the best games I ever played and had one of the best sound-tracks I have ever heard.

I need a new F-Zero game in my life =

Holy shit, Smooth McGroove talks.

I know I can't be the only one who wants a new F-Zero game.

I LOVE F-ZERO! This could be so brilliant in HD with an awesome dark and gritty scifi story mode

Did you know gaming Twisted Metal?

SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH MCGROOOOOOOOVE!!!!! Gotta love him.

Did you know that NINTENDO IS NEVER GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER F-ZERO? HAVE SOME MORE MARIO KART

The commercial failure of the 64DD The commercial failure of the e-Reader The commercial failure of the Virtual Boy ......

Smooth's voice is so good...

If no new F-Zero title for WiiU, I vote for an enhanced remake of F-Zero X for 3DS. Complete with online racing modes (of perhaps up to 30 players at once if possible) and expanded versions of all of the 64DD features we never got in the west. Custom tracks and Grand Prix cups could be uploaded to a database to be downloaded and played, or even exchanged directly between players. I'd play the hell out of it. Plus, it'd be on 3DS, and thus I bet would have a good chance of selling very well.

I'm a huge fan of DYKGaming videos, but i'm not gonna lie, when i first saw the thumbnail, i was like "F-Zero... meh"... But then i read the title and i was like HOLYFUCKING SMOOTH MCGROOVE!!!! I MUST WATCH THIS!

F-Zero Part 2 feat. Smooth's Cat.

The game would probably be more popular if they were on modern-gaming system releases, such as the 3DS or Wii U.

The giant R.O.B. statue can be seen in the Port Town Aero Dive stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Man, I hope they make a new F-Zero and StarFox game. And I said "new," not remake.

I actually came across a F-Zero AX arcade machine at Disney's Contemporary Resort.

I'm surprised people are surprised at how Smooth sounds like when hes not doing acapella, the guy does livestreams sometimes guys.

a short summary for those of you who don't want to watch the video: "it wasn't released outside of japan"

I always sort of assumed McGroove didn't have a speaking voice...

Miyamoto: "We can't come up with anything new for the series" Me: looks at Mario kart 8 :\

God I miss F-Zero so much :((( F-Zero NX is begging to be made.

I thought his voice would be rougher and raspier, but that was one of the most smoothest narrations I have ever heard.

I had to click on this video just because it was voiced over by Smooth McGroove!

Miyamoto: I can't think of how to make F-Zero successful anymore. I don't know what new things I could do for it. I'm not even going to put it on the 3DS where the risks are minimal due to the low development costs of the platform and where the advantages are numerous since the 3DS sales are beast. Especially with anything we make. Fans: What about track editor, custom decals or online play? Miyamoto: Nah, all that's impossible. Meanwhile, have more Mario Kart with all the same features and ideas that could have and should have been prioritized with F-Zero over Mario Kart! Mario has a million spin-off franchises of almost never-ending genres. Does he need a racing one as well when you have an IP designed SOLELY for racing? I'll answer for Nintendo. No, he doesn't. Mario has one still because he's a cash cow due to name and image hence why he keeps getting games and F-Zero isn't. Captain Falcon could be such a character given his IMMENSE popularity in Smash Bros and internet pop culture but, they wont LET him be and shut it down every chance they get. Nintendo has a million mascot characters that sell their games or other games with their appearance alone but Captain Falcon is just not allowed to be one, at least not anymore. Then they wonder why his games are not seeing the levels of success that they should be. They just want to self-sabotage him with Mario in a genre he doesn't even need..... Don't even get me started on Star Fox. SF643D couldn't even get online play despite being a game that would GREATLY benefit from it seeing the limited single player campaign even with the many replays you will do. Vs mode in SF64 was fun so having the option to play people against the world or my friends even when we can't meet in person would be nothing but a benefit. Oh Nintendo :(

never realized how smooth mcgroove sounds so similar to egoraptor

So this is what Smooth McGroove sounds like when he's not singing.

I don't understand. Why is there no singing in this.

Really want an F-Zero game for the Switch

I love the idea of Star Fox and F-Zero being set in the same universe as much as I loved seeing Kirby flying around on his star in Mario Kart. (Well in Kirby's Trailer for Super Smash Bros)

I hate the feeling when you know that a DYK video is almost over...

I'd never heard Smooth talk... hm... can't say I'm disappointed.

Funny. A giant R.O.B could also be seen in the Port Town Aero Dive stage in Brawl.

i wish they would make a new F-Zero.... mario kart is just not it!

Give us another amazing F-zero game in full HD please!!!!! this game would look awesome on the wii-U!!!!!

I really belive that Star Fox and F-Zero takes place in the same universe, there's so much connecting them

smooth mcgroove should have sang the facts

I always thought that if Fzero came back, it would be a racing/fighting game. That be awsome if you could race while fighting as captain falcon

man, this has one of the best soundtracks, I love it

I have to say that Luna Ryder's name is a kind of censure of her original name, Miss Killer, in the 4kids dub. However, her japanese name, Haruka Misaki, is used (at least) in the European version of GP Legend. About Rick/Ryu, Ryu Suzaku's name was changed because of the "no-related" name with the machine. It is said that he was going to be called "Rick Dragon Wheeler", to have more relation with the name of his machine, the Dragon Bird. Even if people don't know, Ryu Suzaku = "Dragon Bird" in japanese. (Ryu = Dragon, Suzaku = a kind of bird in mythology, I believe). The 5 characters included in Climax were the 5 main characters from the last episodes of Falcon Densetsu. The young Falcon and Clank appeared in the last chapter. In the anime, there are a LOT of references to other games. EAD, in chapter 21, dresses as Princess Peach to enter in a female race. In the preview of the next chapter, Ryu usually makes some references to other F-Zeros when he talk about Mighty Gazelle: "Gazelle Kick! Gazelle Punch!" (Falcon Kick/Punch from Smash Bros) or renaming Mighty Gazelle as "Mighty Gazelle Mk-II" (The Falcon Mk-II is the name of the machine piloted by Kent Akechi, the man who is supposed to be Falcon's son). Bart Lemming, the sensei, in his classes makes some references to Falcon's attacks (Sensei Kick! Sensei Punch!). Oh, something curious. Ryu and Jack, in chapter 40, they look like Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter. In chapter 50 you can see it better with Ryu Suzaku. Don Genie and Deathborn are the only characters that appear in the F-Zero anime and they're exclusive from GX. And Don Genie don't drive the Fat Shark: he drives a kind of "Red Bull" (Berserker's machine, number 77). In GX, in the story mode ending, the song that is played says "when my confusion threatens your lunch, Falcon will be unleashing a Falcon Punch". Another reference to the famous attack from the Captain. BS F-Zero is believed to be the underground races that are mentioned in F-Zero GX. There are a lot of nice facts in F-Zero. I can tell more of them, but I'll be a lot of time writing! Hope someone will read this and have more interest in F-Zero series! ^^

Smooth can speak words??? >.> I thought he could only sing out VG themes

This video makes me incredibly sad. I LOVED F-Zero and wanted more. Now I know there were many more but I couldn't have them. :(

For fuck sake Nintendo, make a new f-zero! What the hell is going on over there. They don't have faith in kid Icarus, having "difficulties" with HD graphics, and no new f-zero, Metroid or Starfox. They could've made at least a new f-zero for the wiiU as a launch title and maybe a new Starfox. That would've made the wiiU sell like crazy! But no, they fucked up and have NO PLANS to make anything new. Just making more 2d Mario games that keep getting easier and easier. Thanks Nintendo...

New F-Zero on Wii U would be AMAZING!!! HD Graphics, Online racing, While racing with friends online you could use the wii u Gamepad Camera to show your face on the side instead of your character, You could draw your own emblem using the Wii U gamepad, make tracks using the stylus and touch screen, It would be off da Hook!!! Nintendo, get yo sh*t together and make a new F-ZEROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The face of Mr.EAD looks like the face in that creepy hidden screen from Sonic CD. Like, exactly...

Just adding to something you said. You cannot be restored back to the track and any mode except practice mode. You die you restart the race.

Did I know? ...uh, no I didn't...

Smooth's voice cures cancer.

I half expected him to just assemble a cluster of himselves making different tones that sounded like words

It makes me sad the Chao aren't in the UFO.

He kind of sounds like Arin

F zero also has a connection to metroid because captain falcon is a bounty hunter that worked for the galactic federation, the same federation that samus worked for. Also samus was rumored to be a playable character in f zero gx but it turned out to be a hoax by Nintendo.

Y'know what else? There hasn't been a new console F-Zero game for almost 11 years. Come onnnnn, Nintendo. We don't need a massive revolution in the formula, but a game like GX with a GPL/GX art style that cranks up the speed would be amazing with what today's graphics tech can do. Maybe even go full comic book style and make a mix between X and Climax aesthetic with GX's detail.

When they mentioned Nintendo power I almost cried

Did you know that nintendo just have to make another F-Zero game, or I will be a very angry duck?

*HE SOUNDS LIKE EGORAPTOR*

Pokemon Can't race like this :(

The intro shouldv'e been the Mute City accapella cover done by Smooth ;(

did you guys also know that in Super Smash Bros. Brawl while you're fighting on port town aero dive you can also see R.O.B. the robot while the stage is moving.

F-Zero GX is the best racer of all time. Another great F-Zero game would actually get me to buy a Wii U.

I learned something today. I learned Smooth McGroove can actually talk!

I really miss f-zero it was such a fun series, rip f-zero died of no games, thanks Nintendo

Star Fox and F-Zero related? Well i'll be..didn't see this coming

Wow. His speaking voice sounds _nothing_ like his 'Baa-Boop-Baa' voice.

The expension pack added an extremely awesome Rainbow Road music cover to the Rainbow Road track. And F-Zero Climax is friggin AWESOME!

30 person online F-Zero races would be FUN

Did you know, It's been 9 and 1/2 years since the last F-Zero game, and that it was exclusive to Japan? What the fuck Nintendo

2:54 Actually, AX can be played in GX without cheating. You just need to finish all 4 cups in Master difficulty or take your memory card to the arcade.

The music makes me so nostalgic. I had F-Zero on the SNES, and F-Zero X on the N64. I used to wake up early before school just to play a couple races...

Brilliant, I don't know how you guys manage to pull out such amazing reasearchs!

I love FZero. I hope a main series title comes out for WiiU.

Starfox references inspired me to play starfox 64 (3ds) for the first time. when you beat the game andros pops up laughing along with your score displayed at the bottem right (i didnt know about this) i ended up landing 666 hits, so when andros showed up on the game over screen laughin i thought i broke the game

That is just an insane amount of information, well presented and enlighting. Nice work, man!

I wish Smooths would have found a way to acapella this video.

*MIND BLOWN* How did you get Smooth McGroove for this vid?!? Totally awesome man :D ! Also, there is a major nod to SEGA that you missed: GX's Phantom Road track has his theme being an actual remix of Vectorman's title screen. Furthermore, I believe that Climax wasn't released in English for 2 reasons: 1) The game had you unlock episode synopses for the entire show, possibly spoiling the series. 2) The show got cancelled in English due to 4Kids' crappy works. Aside from that, major thumbs up for this vid ^_^ If I can make suggestions for the next video: 1) have Maximillian Dood from Yo Videogames make a DYKG video about either Street Fighter or Killer Instinct. 2) have the AVGN and/or MoFo Mike from Cinemassacre make a video about Contra or Castlevania 3) have Angry Joe from Blistered Thumbs make a video on the Total War or Civilisation series 4) have Stuttering Craig, Boomstick Chad and/or Nervous Nick Wiz from Screw Attack make a video about... whatever they want. They made so many That would be great ^_^

wow I sure did learn A LOT!

Don't know about anyone else, but when I saw Smooth McGroove was featuring in this, I was expecting his voice doing the theme and ather songs for this video haha

I hope Nintendo makes a new f-zero game. Hell, I'd even settle for a remaster of f-zero X.
