Lightning is an area where the climate was once calm, but the air pollution created a perpetual lightning zone. This extreme air pollution continues to destroy the ozone layer. Now, the frequent bolts of electricity which hammer down from the sky are harnessed and put to use by innovative power companies. The total power generated in the efficient recycling facilities exceeds 10 million giga-watts. The output is so great, in fact, that Lightning now exports its excess power to neighboring planets.[1]

Appearance in the games

Lightning only appears in F-Zero GX, F-Zero: GP Legend, and F-Zero Climax, where it is apparently on the outskirts of Mute City. Loop Cross contains loops and twists but isn't all that hard; though you will find yourself on the ceiling above the finish line. Half Pipe is a very tricky course in which the stage consists of a half-pipe track. Thunder Road is tricky with 90 degree turns. Volute (only in F-Zero GP Legend) has a nasty jump which must be hit at an angle in order to survive it.
