I've been playing the Switch 2 version and just unlocked Master Mode. Expert wasn't actually too bad, is Master a huge step from it or not too bad if I handled Expert fine?

What you're describing is a flow state. You enter a flow state if your mind becomes singularly focused on a task that is demanding enough to require strong attention. Essentially your mind filters out all background noise and the only pertinent information to it during that state is the basic information needed to complete the task, anything else is pushed from your thoughts. The reason it makes you feel like you're "actually inside an F-Zero" is because it just makes your mind stop thinking about "this is a video game" and just lets you focus.
Any high focus requirement game can theoretically be used to enter a flow state but high speed racing games are typically one of the best genres for it because they have immediately understandable general rules and requirements that rarely change, but the moment to moment is a constant series of microadjustments.
