Yeah I'm probably in a large, large, minority in the fanbase.
But to me that's what made this series special to me. Was the fact the characters were not afraid to be of the cheesy variety.
Yet, I see several amounts of people either wanting the story cut cause it was cheesy, or they want it to mature, not just alittle but a lot. A story to this series can be entertaining, but you have to admit the characters when they were first drawn in that old comic in F-Zero were designed to be cheesy.
I'm saying that as a good thing. That gives these characters a unique trait most of these other Nintendo characters & video game characters in general tend to lack. Did I have some problems with GX's story mode? Yes(looks at Deathborn), but I rather not lose what makes these characters unique cause some people don't like it.
