This will give your game the exact same look and feel of F-Zero. The Mode-7 extension comes with examples that should help you to understand how to make a racing game. Here is some more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_7 Note that the article mentions its use in F-Zero.

Hayo Stone Goose Registered 15/08/2002 Points 6949	7th June, 2009 at 15:24:48 - Will do. I switched from mode7 to openGL now and am aiming to give it a 1995/1996 ish look. Meaning low-poly models and no texture filters and pixel-art textures and HUD. Just because I got really tired of drawing the vehicles from 8 sides. www.hayovanreek.nl

Edit: The mirror/mode 7 ex object being so small made the display look solid, too. Edited by Rob Rule It'll all blow over.
