The F-Zero series (abbreviated from Formula Zero (Gravity)), was first published on November 21, 1990 by Nintendo and developed by Nintendo EAD. The games are primarily set on a futuristic Earth, although some circuits have been set on different planets. The gameplay concept gives little focus to "car combat" but instead consists of high-speed racing at speeds that can exceed 2000 km/h. The series has been known for its graphical capabilities, inspiring pilots and settings, difficult gameplay, and stirring original music.

Further information: F-Zero (Story)

As mentioned in the manual included with the F-Zero X game and the Skull's pilot profile, F-Zero is a successor to Formula One races from the 20th and 21st centuries and F-Max Grand Prix from the 24th century.
It is now the year 2560, and due to the human race's countless encounters with alien life forms throughout the Universe, Earth's social framework has expanded to cosmic proportions. Now, trade, technology transfer and cultural interchange are carried out on an interplanetary basis. An association of wealthy space merchants created the F-Zero Grand Prix in an attempt to add some excitement to their opulent lifestyles. When the first one was held, people were angered at the brutality of the competition due to the various obstacles and traps along the raceway. As time passed, they got used to these dangers and soon demanded even more excitement in the race. Many believe the F-Zero championship is the highest claim to fame in the galaxy. It purportedly has billions of fans, many of whom like to gamble on the outcomes of races.

=F-Zero X Era

= The original F-Zero ended due to the extreme danger of the sport. The huge accident saw many pilots get injured but miraculously, none were killed, thanks in part to Dr. Robert Stewart. Mighty Gazelle is of particular interest; he had barely survived and had to become a cyborg. The sport was brought back under the name F-Zero X (also the name of the Nintendo 64 game). It is unknown, but likely that later games in the series such as, F-Zero GX, will be taking place during the F-Zero X era on future Nintendo home consoles.
