This one took me a while, mostly due to procrastination. Super happy with how it came out, though! I actually don't really like F-Zero; I mostly just know this song from the Smash Bros stage. I can't deny the series has some seriously killer music, though. Enjoy!
First half was fantastic (00-05)! I love the altered chords, arguably better the the original - Makes it feel much more full and lively.
Second half was kinda disappointing though. Lead feels a bit weak, and the rest of the song doesn't complement it as best it could - it feels emptier than the first half. The percussion overall and backing leads (such as on 0E-0F) could both be louder/stand out more (different octave maybe?).
Overall this is great though, probably the best intro I've ever heard on a big blue cover.
I did the whole SNES OST a while back (see attachment) and I think I'm gonna incorporate some elements of yours into mine if that's alright :D

I tried my best to address that without having to rework the entire second half manually. The lead's a bit beefier now during the solo (at the expense of some backing harmony; not enough channels) and I also played around with volumes a bit so the percussion and bass shouldn't be quite so muddy.
EDIT: And I screwed up the attachment, too. Grade-A posting, here, you saw it here first.
