While various Nintendo franchises have been neglected over the years (where’s the Clu Clu Land love, Ninty?), few have suffered like the poor, starved F-Zero fans, who have had to rely on Super Smash Bros.’ continued celebration of Captain Falcon as their only source of acknowledgement for over a decade.

It’s simply incredible. Listen to it yourself below:
