F-Zero GX uses hardware conceived from a business alliance between Nintendo, Namco and Sega. At the AOU Amusement Expo in mid-February 2002, Nintendo announced that an arcade board under the name of "Triforce" was being developed in conjunction between Nintendo, Namco, and Sega.[8] A month later, an announcement from Sega and Nintendo revealed Sega's subsidiary Amusement Vision and Nintendo will collaborate to release F-Zero video game titles for the Triforce arcade board and the Nintendo GameCube.
Y sobre lo de la seta, yo no he jugado a ningún F-Zero, pero comentaban que se podía poner a una de las naves o algo así.
