Overview
Big Blue is a track from the SNES game F-ZERO. It is the second course of the game, and is famous for its distinctive theme song. Versions of Big Blue have appeared in subsequent F-Zero sequels, as well as Smash Brothers Melee and Brawl. A detailed map of the original track from snesmaps.com was traced as a guide in SketchUp to ensure an accurate track layout.
Features
Big Blue is a fairly simple track with a wide-open ocean setting. It features a long straight-away and a few patches of off-road, and a single slippery turn just before reaching the finish line. The level features working intro flyby and replay cameras. It works well in split screen multiplayer.
Differences from the Original
Since karts are slower than F-ZERO Machines, the energy recharge area has been converted to a boost pad and additional boost pads are placed on the track as in F-Zero White Land I. The orange 'magnetic repulsors' that border the track spin players out when touched and are raised at an angle as in F-ZERO X. This version has futuristic bio domes and buildings, inspired by the Smash Bros. Melee stage.
