->''The year is 2040 and cars are long forgotten. Gas prices had risen as the fossil fuels disappeared. Cold fusion, a process of harnessing the energy of smashing atoms, was discovered. Before humanity had known what it had found, the companies of the world decided to keep this knowledge to themselves. They constructed giant blue belts high above the ground that stretched across the country, out of reach.''

->''True to human spirit, rebel groups formed, constructing makeshift planes that could fly up to the belts and suck off the energy, stealing it from the companies. As the companies learned of these rebels, they sent out their own craft to attack the rebels. In time, the art of stealing the fusion energy fuelled the stories of legends.''

->''Jet Jevons was his name. With his band of Xenum rebels, Jet brought the companies to their knees, cutting off critical power belts and giving their power back to the government. In honour of Jet Jevons, teams of skilled pilots race among the power belts, reminding people of his courage.''

* JustforFun/XMeetsY: This game can best be summed up as VideoGame/StarFox in the style of VideoGame/FZero.
* UpdatedRerelease: The version that Europe got is an improved version that fixes a lot of things in the game, known in Japan as Hresvelgr: International Edition.
