Course Descriptions:

• Mute City - Short for "Mutant City," Mute City possesses tremendous influence over the entire universe and is considered by many to be the most sophisticated city in the F-Zero circuit. Over a billion sentients live within the city's borders, somehow managing to co-exist in relative harmony. A brand new Mute City course was just recently constructed when the old course became too worn and dangerous.
   

• Port Town - The 26th century is dominated by intense competition between planets for profitable interstellar trade. As a result of this competition, planets have invested huge fortunes in the creation of massive space harbors to increase traffic. The Port Town space harbor, for example, has been built with newest technological and aesthetic refinements in mind. This multilayered structure is centered around a massive structure towering three miles above the ground and is the largest space harbor in the universe.
   

• Green Plant - Due to explosive population growth, humans have been forced to migrate ever outward into the reaches of space. Green Plant is an example of a high-tech project designed to provide precious oxygen to deep space colonists. The biotechnological vegetation on Green Plant provides a large amount of oxygen, but the thriving plants have recently been growing out of control.
   
• Aeropolis - The entire region of Aeropolis is controlled by a super computer. The central control unit, called "Mother-Q," stores and computes detailed information on all Aeropolis citizens to create the ideal living environment. Because of dramatic population increases, Mother-Q has been forced to build towering skyscrapers to house the ever-increasing Aeropolis community.
   
• Lightning - The perpetually dark skies of Lightning were caused by extreme air pollution, but now the frequent bolts of electricity which hammer down from the sky are harnessed and put to use by innovative power companies. The total power generated in the efficient recycling facilities exceeds 10 million giga-watts. The output is so great, in fact, that Lightning now exports its excess power to neighboring planets.
   
• Casino Palace - Located in the entertainment district on the outskirts of Mute City, Casino Palace is a magnet for people seeking to increase their material wealth. Dome-shaped entertainment facilities fill the sky with neon signs making outrageous claims, and the streets overflow day and night with tourists who are willing to believe them. Fortunes are won and lost again every hour of every day, and now the area is even more popular thanks to the arrival of the F-Zero circuit.
   
• Sand Ocean - Sand Ocean is an extremely arid frontier planet which for many years was thought to have been completely void of human life. This theory was smashed when a fearless adventurer discovered the ruins of a 30,000 year-old civilization hidden deep within the desert -- along with a monstrous alien lifeform. Since then, the desolate planet has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the galaxy. The addition of an F-Zero installation has increased the planet's popularity exponentially.
