F-Zero 99 Update 1.5.6 Fixes Lap Skipping and More

Nintendo has released a new update for F-Zero 99, bringing the game to Version 1.5.6. While it doesn’t introduce new content, the patch addresses several gameplay issues that had been affecting races.

One of the most significant fixes is a correction to a bug that allowed players to unintentionally skip laps or even be credited with finishing a race after veering off course near the finish line. This exploit could give players an unfair advantage, so its removal helps keep races competitive.

Another issue resolved in this update is a display error on Pilot Cards. Previously, some players noticed that their total number of wins was showing incorrectly, but this has now been fixed.

Customization bugs have also been addressed. Under certain conditions, the FIRE STINGRAY vehicle could disappear entirely, but the update ensures that all vehicles now display correctly regardless of customization choices.

Additionally, Nintendo has corrected a scheduling problem where weekend events were not ending as intended. This ensures that time-limited events function properly moving forward.

While the patch doesn’t add new features or tracks, these fixes contribute to a more stable and fair racing experience. Nintendo continues to fine-tune F-Zero 99, showing that the game is still getting solid post-launch support.
