F-Zero 99 - Is White Land II's Jump Really Shorter?

Описание: Earlier, I made a comparison video between F-Zero SNES and F-Zero 99 about the massive jump in White Land II. I showed that if you attempted the jump without holding down, you would crash in the SNES game, but survive in 99.

However, many people pointed out that I was actually going faster in F-Zero 99, and they were right. I was going at 369 km/h in SNES right before launching into the air, while I was going 399 km/h in F-Zero 99. I wasn't paying attention to the speed when I made that video, so I've made this video to give both games a more fair comparison. Since the original video had me going at 369 km/h in the SNES version, I went at 369 km/h in F-Zero 99 as well.

Multiple different tests are shown. Each test will pause to mark the speed, and then halfway through the video, all tests will be shown again uninterrupted.

In the SNES version, you need to be going somewhere in the 390s to even have a chance of making the jump without holding down. In F-Zero 99, it's possible to survive at just 360 km/h without holding down.

Some people argue that the jump isn't actually shorter, but rather the difference between graphics is creating an illusion of a shorter jump. Some also argue that the air time/distance was buffed in F-Zero 99. However, one thing is for certain, the speed requirement is definitely lower in F-Zero 99.
