However, since [[https://tcrf.net/F-Zero_GX/AX_Game_Mode|the development of the two games was so closely tied, F-Zero GX contains most of the assets and menus for F-Zero AX]]. In other words, you can just use the GameCube's F-Zero GX image with certain flags set to get a broken trial mode of F-Zero AX.

 It is recommended to "buy" a new Mario card, to allow the game to "record" progression and unlock rewards. Without this, the game will not unlock new items as you play. However, since we can't actually use the physical magnetic strip card, it is impossible to use its native save system. Instead, save states must be used to maintain progression. It is recommended to "buy" a new Mario card, to allow the game to "record" progression and unlock rewards.

 The GameCube's Y button is usually set to resetting the game.
