How to Unlock Every Machine in F-Zero GX

F-Zero GX unlocks its content through Grand Prix milestones, Story Mode chapter clears, and shop purchases with F-ZERO Tickets. Learn how pilots, parts, cups, and AX content differ.
Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

To unlock F-Zero GX’s pilots, parts, cups, and tracks, progress through Grand Prix and Story Mode, then check the F-ZERO Shop: some rewards must be purchased with F-ZERO Tickets after you meet their unlock condition. “Every machine” can mean fixed pilot-and-craft entries, the parts used to build custom craft, or every possible combination—these are different completion goals.

What “every machine” means in F-Zero GX

GX lets you customize a craft with parts earned through play. Nintendo’s 2003 description gives a figure of 8,000 possible vehicle combinations when additional parts from F-Zero AC are included; that is a count of possible builds, not 8,000 separate machines to unlock. Nintendo’s description also explains the GX/AC connection.

  • Pilots and fixed entries: Unlock characters and their associated content through Story Mode and other milestones.
  • Parts: Earn or unlock components, then buy shop-listed rewards with tickets where required.
  • Custom combinations: Build craft from parts. Reaching the full combination count Nintendo describes requires the additional AC parts.

How the main unlock systems work

Grand Prix: cups, difficulty, and parts

Use Grand Prix to open cup and class milestones, and to earn tickets. A community unlock guide says Diamond Cup opens after placing first in Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire on Standard or Expert. It lists Master Class after first place in Ruby, Diamond, Emerald, and Sapphire on Expert. Another walkthrough summarizes Master as winning all four cups on Expert, so treat the precise sequence as guide-sourced and confirm it in your game.

The same community guide lists parts for repeated cup completions and for specific cup and difficulty milestones. In particular, it associates some parts with clearing Diamond on Expert or Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald on Expert. The booklet confirms that Grand Prix is one of the modes that earns tickets, but does not provide a complete reward checklist.

#1 Best Overall
Yojaro 4Pack Silicone Suction Phone Case Mount, Silicon Adhesive Smartphones Stand Sticky, Hands-Free Phone Accessories Holder for Selfies and Videos (Black & White & Translucent & Light Pink)
  • 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
  • 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)
  • 【Widely Used】Our non-slip silicone phone sticky grip mount attaches to almost any flat phone case and make it compatible with common mobile phones such as iPhone and Android.You can shoot, watch videos or video calls in the kitchen, gym, dance studio, bathroom and other places.
  • 【Capture the Wonderful Picture】Whether you are a TikTok creator or just like to share videos and photos, this phone suction cup can help you hands-free capture wonderful videos and photos for sharing with friends.
  • 【Note】You can fix the phone suction cup on a smooth surface such as a mirror or glass. If necessary, wipe the suction cup with a damp cloth to obtain stronger suction. Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)

Story Mode: chapter clears and difficulty-specific rewards

Story Mode is the route for chapter-specific rewards. Community tables associate some machine-part sets with clearing individual chapters on Hard and list AX pilots for Very Hard chapter clears, often one pilot per chapter. They also list Magic Seagull for clearing all chapters on Hard. These are distinct conditions: completing Story Mode once does not satisfy every chapter- and difficulty-specific unlock.

F-ZERO Shop: buy rewards with tickets

The instruction booklet says the shop sells new machine parts and items for F-ZERO Tickets earned in Grand Prix, Time Attack, and Story modes. For any shop-listed reward, unlocking availability and acquiring the item are separate steps: earn the required milestone, then visit the shop and spend tickets.

Apple EarPods Headphones with USB-C Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume
  • SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
  • HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
  • BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
  • COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
  • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

Specific milestones listed by community guides

The exact requirements below come from community-contributed unlock tables and walkthroughs, not a complete Nintendo checklist. Use them as a route map, and verify uncertain progression details against your copy of the game.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
Reward or milestone Guide-listed condition
Diamond Cup Place first in Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire Cups on Standard or Expert.
Master Class Place first in Ruby, Diamond, Emerald, and Sapphire on Expert, according to the unlockables guide; another walkthrough summarizes the requirement as winning all four cups on Expert.
AX pilots Clear Story Mode on Very Hard; the guide lists individual pilots for particular chapter clears.
Magic Seagull Clear all Story Mode chapters on Hard.
AX parts Clear Story Mode on Hard; some part sets are tied to specific chapter clears on Hard.
AX tracks and AX Cup Community sources describe these as progression rewards. One walkthrough says all four cups on Master unlock AX tracks; the unlockables guide also lists AX tracks and AX Cup among linked rewards.
Standard parts Guide-listed rewards include repeated cup completions, specific Story Mode chapter clears on Hard, and designated cup clears on Expert.

Do you have to play F-Zero AX?

No arcade cabinet is established as mandatory for GX’s unlock route. Community guides describe GX challenges that unlock AX-associated pilots, parts, and tracks. They also describe a historical alternative: playing F-Zero AX and using a GameCube memory card to transfer some content into GX. Nintendo confirms the historical arcade connection and transfer concept, but arcade availability depends on whether a working cabinet can be accessed locally.

A practical route to work through

  1. Start with Grand Prix. Win cups to open further cup and class milestones, and earn tickets. Confirm the unlock prompt in your game rather than relying on a single guide’s wording for Master progression.
  2. Clear Story chapters at the listed difficulties. Work through chapter-specific Hard rewards, then return on Very Hard for pilot unlocks described by the guides.
  3. Check the F-ZERO Shop after milestones. Spend tickets on rewards that have become available; a condition being met does not necessarily mean the item is already in your garage.
  4. Use AX arcade transfer only if practical. It is a historical alternate route, not a prerequisite to attempt the GX challenges.
  5. Define your finish line. Track pilots, parts, tracks, and custom builds separately; the 8,000-combination figure includes additional AC parts.

How reliable are the exact unlock conditions?

The instruction booklet supports the mode, ticket, and shop structure, and Nintendo’s publisher description supports the customization and GX/AC relationship. Neither gives a complete item-by-item unlock table. Exact chapter, cup, and difficulty requirements above are attributed to community-contributed GameFAQs guides; one Master Class summary differs between guides, so check the in-game progression in your version before treating that detail as definitive.
