Flying through the first level I was genuinely surprised how smooth the 3D was for a Super Famicom game. The way it eases you into the controls before ramping up the challenge kept me hooked all evening.

The FX chip really shows its muscle here — the 3D polygons move so smoothly I kept forgetting this is a Super Famicom cartridge. Even after a dozen runs, the gradual difficulty curve keeps pulling me back for just one more attempt.

The way it eases you into the action is perfect—you’re flying tight corners before you even realize you’ve mastered the controls. That FX chip keeps the frame rate steady even when the screen fills with enemy fire, which makes the whole thing feel incredibly polished for the system.
