Again, you're ignoring what is practicable. You could in theory rewrite the game from scratch, but that's just not practicable.

People manually recreate shit all the time for a hobby.

And an F-Zero course is far less complicated than say a 1:1 recreation of a city in Minecraft. Shit having those round sprites on the border of the map already give you a perfect staging point for scale.

Maybe but it would also be immensely more time consuming. Why not use AI to accelerate the process?
