Portrait	Name 	Machine	Bio
 	Captain Falcon 	
Blue Falcon (#07)
Body: B
Boost: C
Grip: B	
Voice Actor: Hideyuki Tanaka (JP)/Crispin Freeman (EN)
Age: 40
Homeworld: Port Town
Known across the galaxy as one of the best, if not the best, F-Zero racers of all time, the secretive Douglas Jay Falcon has gotten more unwanted publicity than ever after defeating Deathborn and the "Creators". Other than the fact that he takes up residence in Port Town and his legal name is Douglas Jay Falcon, virtually nothing is known about this racer's personal life. It's been theorized that he was a former member of the Internova Space Police, the descendant of a 20th Century Formula One racer, a childhood prodigy and football star, to even truly bizarre theories like being a falcon mutated to human form. He has confirmed none of these theories.
Recently, he's been working closely with the Galactic Federation to locate Black Shadow, whom he believes is still alive. He even thinks Blood Falcon's uprising has something to do with him. 
 	Dr. Stewart 	
Golden Fox (#03)
Body: D
Boost: A
Grip: D	
Voice Actor: Nobuo Tobita (JP)/Liam O'Brien (EN)
Age: 45
Homeworld: Mute City
Kind-hearted and brilliant, Robert Stewart is a veteran racer and surgeon. Originally, he saw racing as a stupid activity that is senselessly dangerous, much to the chagrin of his go-getter father, Kevin Stewart (who was the previous owner and creator of the Golden Fox). The two frequently argued over their occupations, but when Kevin died in a horrific "accident", Robert was heartbroken, and decided to honor Kevin's vision of him and became a racer. He isn't exactly one of the best racers, but he continues to attend the Grand Prix in memory of his father.
During the "Grand Finale" that led to the temporary ban on F-Zero races seven years ago, Robert put his old surgical skills to work and attempted to save the other racers who had survived the crash. Thanks to him, no further losses were recorded. He is a member of the Mobile Task Force, and is currently the host of a talk show named after him, "Dr. Stewart".
 	Pico 	
Wild Goose (#06)
Body: A
Boost: B
Grip: C	
Voice Actor: Daisuke Namikawa (JP)/Steve Staley (EN)
Age: 127
Homeworld: Tortiz 3
Raised by General Gallo Repeat of the Poripoto Rebel Army, Pico quite literally grew up on the battlefield. Hailed as a war hero after the war on the Poripoto Regime finally came to a close, Pico started a family and a small consignment shop, but his bloodlust instilled in him from the war did not leave. He became a paid assassin, and has carried out the deaths of several high-profile people. When he discovered the F-Zero Grand Prix, he signed up almost instantly, registering with the war vehicle given to him as a gift by his surrogate father General Repeat, the Wild Goose.
Pico is also directly responsible for the massive "Grand Finale" accident that caused the F-Zero races to be banned for some time. Ten other racers were killed, and Pico's entire fanbase abandoned him. Most people believe he did this to satisfy his thirst for blood, but in truth, it goes much darker than that. Pico was actually paid to cause the accident by none other than Black Shadow himself, and his main target was Captain Falcon. Falcon survived the wreck, and Black Shadow murdered Pico's wife and children to punish him for his failure. Now, Pico will not stop racing, now matter how many adversaries stand in his way, until he personally sees Black Shadow killed.
 	Samurai Goroh 	
Fire Stingray (#05)
Body: A
Boost: D
Grip: B	
Voice Actor: Akio Kaneda (JP)/Beau Billingslea (EN)
Age: 48
Homeworld: Red Canyon
Goroh carries the title of "King of Second Bananas", as he is second only to Captain Falcon in his primary occupations: racing and bounty hunting. The times he has beaten Falcon at these goals exist, but they are few and far between. Ironically, Goroh claims to have grown up alongside Falcon, and tells that they both were raised in the same orphanage, but Goroh was kicked out due to his kleptomanic tendencies. The two met again in the Internova Police Force, but he was kicked out again for his sleazy work ethic. Falcon never so much as responds to questions of this having any merit.
In addition, he leads a gang of Robin Hood-esque theives who rob wealthy people who accidentally wander into their turf blind and give to impoverished people across the galaxy. Despite carrying around an incredibly sharp sword most of the time, he abides by a strict "Steal, but never kill" mantra. He was willing to abandon his closest ally when he betrayed this rule.
Over the years, he's built up lines of female suitors looking for his attention, but unfortunately for them, his wife and child are also racers!
 	Mighty Gazelle 	
Red Gazelle (#01)
Body: E
Boost: A
Grip: C	
Age: 40
Homeworld: Aeropolis
His real name is Clinton Gazelle. Originally, he served as a 3D photographer on a sports news site. He was mostly assigned to cover F-Zero races, and he eventually became enamored with the event. He soon quit his job to purchase a machine and enter the Grand Prix. He became a crowd favorite very quickly, but tragedy struck when he was caught up in the massive crash seven years ago. Despite surviving the accident, he was so badly injured that his organs and brain had to be placed in a cyborg body in order for him to survive. This caused his girlfriend to leave him, and he was left on his own in a run-down apartment. When the ban on the F-Zero races was lifted, he got himself a new job at Cyber Stick, Inc., and became the mascot of the company.
He has since found a new fiancee, but despite his vehement denial of it, an urban legend states that she is also a cyborg.
 	Jody Summer 	
White Cat (#02)
Body: C
Boost: C
Grip: A	
Voice Actress: Kikuko Inoue (JP)/Luci Christian (EN)
Age: 28
Homeworld: White Land
Jody Summer is the daughter of Mason Summer, the inventor of the revolutionary G-Diffuser technology and the headmaster of the University of Io. Her mother died when she was delivering Jody, leaving Mason alone to tend to her needs. Jody took after her father incredibly quickly, and proved to be as sharp as a tack. She became inspired by her father even more when she decided to enter in a garden variety of athletic fields, breaking and creating records alike, and later joined the Galactic Federation Space Force. Tragedy struck when Mason died in a starship crash, and Jody inherited a machine built in secret made just for her, the "White Cat", after the nickname Mason commonly gave her. She joined the Grand Prix not only to bring the scoundrels in the race to justice, but also to commemorate her father's legacy.
Her valiant efforts, quick wits, and charming appearance have made her a fan-favorite on the circuit. She's been voted as Mrs. Milky Way and leads the Mobile Task Force. Her sister, Nicole Summer, is married to fellow racer Dr. Robert Stewart.
 	Baba 	
Iron Tiger (#04)
Body: B
Boost: D
Grip: A	
Age: 22
Homeworld: Giant
Baba is a "wild child" in every sense of the word. Abandoned in the expansive jungle paradise of Giant, Baba was left to fend for himself against literal armies of predators. Teaching himself to speak, cook, walk, dance, and learn several other talents, the story of a single human on a wild planet caught a lot of media attention. Being something of an eco-friendly man, he entered the F-Zero Pilot Selection Commitee to help raise awareness for cosmic pollution, and the quest to stop it. Unfortunately, he was duped into joining the Dark Million after they convinced him that they were eco-terrorists. He has gone on a long journey of self-discovery, and has come clean to his green approach. He is a total pacifist now, and emits the same friendly aura around all racers, including his rivals.
 	Octoman 	
Deep Claw (#08)
Body: B
Boost: B
Grip: C	
Age: 91
Homeworld: Takora
The Takorans are a race of humanoid octopi with vast intelligence. However, they had formerly governed themselves as an authoritarian state, and this drew ire from the Galactic Federation and other humanitarian allies. Conflict between the two camps seemed inevitable, so the Takoran Union elected a single government agent to represent their society and prove their superiority. He took on the name "Octoman" after a racist term used by humans to describe his people, in an attempt to prove how strong-willed his people are. He served a long stint with the Dark Million, but left when he discovered how bad it made him and his people look.
Eventually, war did break out, but since Octoman was little more than a figurehead, he hardly took part in the conflict at all. The Federation ended up victorious, and after the tyrannical leader of the Takorans was arrested for his crimes against his people, he was replaced by a democratically-elected, pro-Federation new president. Octoman still remains loyal to his people, and as such, has attempted to end the rivalry between him and Jody Summer. Very little fruit has been beared from the process.
 	Mr. EAD 	
Great Star (#09)
Body: E
Boost: A
Grip: D	
Age: N/A
Homeworld: Mute City
Built by the technological powerhouse EAD, their namesake "ultimate android" is built to resemble their mascot from centuries passed, when the company simply made video games. Rumor has it that he has become self-aware and secretly aids the Mobile Task Force.
 	James McCloud 	
Little Wyvern (#10)
Body: E
Boost: B
Grip: B	
Age: 35
Homeworld: Aeropolis
James McCloud is the leader of the Galaxy Dog team of interstellar mercenaries, and his machine is actually his old starfighter repurposed to suit the high-speed needs of the F-Zero Circuit. When the Takoran War broke out, James fought valiantly and came home a hero.
Recently, he's become increasingly suspicious of fellow racer Billy, and has come to suspect he is part of the Dark Million.
 	Billy 	
Mad Wolf (#11)
Body: B
Boost: B
Grip: C	
Age: 10
Homeworld: Odyapes
Billy is the result of a genetic experiment involving Earth apes and a strange race of somewhat unintelligent creatures from the planet of Odyapes. After being taught a wide array of sciences shortly after learning to speak, read, and write, Billy has become convinced that he is the ultimate creature in the universe, and joined the Grand Prix prove his superiority.
Upon reaching his age, however, he's begun to suffer a mid-life crisis, as his race only lives for 12 years. He was told that his life can be prolonged through technology only the Dark Million is in possesion of, and he has joined them and obeyed their tasks without hesitation. Secretly, he yearns to know how they plan to keep him alive, so he can take that method for himself and then seize control of the Dark Million.
 	Kate Alen 	
Super Piranha (#12)
Body: B
Boost: C
Grip: B	
Age: 33
Homeworld: Big Blue
An award-winning singer of the already musically-gifted Alen family, Kate made her single debut with the song "A Little Love Never Hurt No One", and has recorded several phenomenal songs since then. She shocked the galaxy when she decided she would end her career as a virtuoso and pursue fame as an F-Zero racer. A false rumor has started that she has had a scandalous affair with fellow racer Michael Chain. This has caused a fierce rivalry between the two.
 	Zoda 	
Death Anchor (#13)
Body: E
Boost: A
Grip: C	
Age: Unknown
Homeworld: Uma-41
Said to call the prison colony of Uma-41 his home, Zoda Hollow is one of the most dangerous racers on the F-Zero circuit. Besides his usual felonies of murder and bombing, Zoda tends to tamper with rival machines, and often intentionally builds fatal flaws in them. His psychotic instincts owe thanks to the machine that pumps adrenaline and dopamine directly into his body, and he is essentially incapable of feeling pain.
Word is that the reason he's become irreversibly insane is that he actually used to work with none other than his bitter rival, Super Arrow. It's said that during some freak science accident, Super Arrow gained his powers and Zoda became envious. He attempted to put himself in the same process as his old partner, but it would seem as though Super Arrow gained his powers through pure coincedence, and Zoda's very psyche was shattered into pieces. He is dreaded as a mad scientist who often performs cruel and inhumane operations on various innocents, and pledges his loyalty to Black Shadow after Captain Falcon nearly brought him down once and for all.
 	Jack Levin 	
Astro Robin (#14)
Body: B
Boost: D
Grip: A	
Age: 22
Homeworld: Big Blue
Adored by female fans the galaxy over, Jack Levin is renowned for his good looks and racing skills. Being a successful racer and pop star, who often draws ire from jealous fellow racers, it may come as a shock to some to discover he came from humble beginnings. Growing up impoverished with his brothers after his father left him and his mother fell ill of Gonksie Flu, Jack eventually couldn't take a job and school at the same time, and dropped out of his class. His music-oriented coworkers eventually realized his musical talent, and he joined them in forming a boy band. 
His career was met with great success, and he quickly turned his life around. Out of all the F-Zero racers, Jack quite possibly gets the most publicity, as he has countless merchandise, has appeared on several talk shows and late-night comedies, and even played roles in several blockbuster movies. However, he's lately picked up on the fact that his father had ties to the Dark Million, and joined the Mobile Task Force in an attempt to learn why he abandoned his own son.
 	Bio Rex 	
Big Fang (#15)
Body: B
Boost: D
Grip: A	
Age: 12
Homeworld: Green Plant
Bio-engineered from a fossil by the Keerlon Corporation to serve as a war beast, Bio Rex was ordered by his creators to prove his deadly efficiency by joining the Grand Prix. His mission has been foiled time and time again by Beastman, and he seeks to see the hunter forever out of his way. And he also seeks to see a banquet of mammoth ribs.
 	The Skull 	
Sonic Phantom (#16)
Body: C
Boost: A
Grip: D	
Age: 244
Homeworld: Unknown
200 years ago, the emperor of a slave planet organized F-Zero's violent and lawless ancestor: F-MAX. A human competitor, Sterling LaVaughn, proved to be a the top of the game, challenging the emperor who organized the grand prix in the first place. Many admired him for his fearless behavior, but very little knew this was because he was suffering from a terminal illness and wasn't expected to live past his 40th birthday. When the emperor accepted LaVaughn's challenge, Sterling wanted to go out in style, and caused an accident that killed all the remaining racers, including the emperor. Sterling, ironically, was the most badly injured in the accident, being burned to death by an opponent's booster.
Two centuries later, Black Shadow communicates with the soul of the fallen racer, and offers him the chance to race again, in exchange for his undying loyalty. LaVaughn heartily accepted, and was reborn in his skeletal corpse. He runs the circuit almost recklessly, knowing he no longer fears death, and the Grand Prix is the only thing he has to live for.
 	Antonio Guster 	
Green Panther (#17)
Body: A
Boost: B
Grip: D	
Age: 39
Homeworld: Lightning
Antonio Guster was formerly a member of the Internova Space Police Bomb Squad, and as a result, became very proficient in pyrotechnics. Along with his partner Samurai Goroh, the two became know as some of the fiercest corrupt cops, which led to both of them being kicked out of the force when Jody Summer reformed the Space Police. Even then, the two worked together as bounty hunters, becoming an equally feared and respected dynamic duo often compare to Furikakes (nobody actually told them that to their faces)
But Guster proved to be much more violent than Goroh, and eventually killed one of their targets. This violated Goroh's mantra, and he turned Guster in to the Space Police. Since escaping prison, Guster has sworn venegeance on Goroh, and will do anything, even threatening his family, to have his revenge. He is also behind the bombings on the planet Zou, since he is now a member of the Dark Million.
 	Beastman 	
Hyper Speeder (#18)
Body: C
Boost: C
Grip: A	
Age: 33
Homeworld: White Land
Beastman, real name Christopher Annex, barely survived an encounter with a giant crocodile on White Land when he was six. Since then, he has devoted his life to protecting people from the most dangerous animals from across the universe. He views Bio Rex, another racer, to be the deadliest of all, and wants to protect other racers and fans from his savagery.
While he does have the title of a "hunter", Beastman is actually extremely fond of nature, even the ones he views as dangerous to civilians, considering the majority of them are endangered species. He has never actually killed a creature before, and literally wouldn't hurt a fly. He has helped in efforts to preserve alien wildlife. The reason he likes animals so much is because he can hardly talk to people, and is more than a little shy. This is actually the real reason he joined the F-Zero Grand Prix, and didn't know Bio Rex would be involved until his very first race.
 	Leon 	
Space Angler (#19)
Body: C
Boost: C
Grip: A	
Age: 19
Homeworld: Zou
15 years ago, there was a massive civil war on the planet Zou, and Leon lost both of his parents back then, along with just about the entire planet being ruined. Growing up, Leon was determined to save his collapsing planet, and tried to raise money for charity efforts as a wrestler. He didn't make a whole lot from that job, but he soon found out that was because the F-Zero Grand Prix had returned, and most people were tuned in to watch it. So instead, Leon became a racer, and quickly became quite the popular one considering his noble goals, tragic backstory, and good looks.
Zou has become much more stable ever since, but it still has a long way to go before it can be considered a first-world planet. However, a string of bombings have been slowing down the process, and now Leon is determined to find the culprit and stop them before all his hard work is undone.
 	Super Arrow 	
King Meteor (#20)
Body: E
Boost: B
Grip: B	
Age: 38
Homeworld: Mute City
In secret, he is the billionaire playboy Lazlo Falconi, but he has preferred to stay in his persona as the guardian of Earth, Super Arrow. Gaining cosmic powers from a strange mistake in a science lab, Falconi knew he had a brand new responsibility to take on, and has become one of the only people standing in his former partner Zoda's way.
Despite the recent birth of his son, Falconi is still devoted to bringing his rival to justice. It's said that the only thing he really fears is his wife, who has made it clear that she doesn't want to stay behind and take care of the little one all the time.
 	Mrs. Arrow 	
Queen Meteor (#21)
Body: E
Boost: B
Grip: B	
Age: 30
Homeworld: Big Blue
Monique L'amoreaux was born the daughter of the Vice President of the Galactic Federation, and spent most of her life pampered and taught in a variety of extracirricular activities. However, she always yearned to partake in something incredibly exciting, and she knew the F-Zero Grand Prix was what her dreams were made of. A former circuit model, she eventually got married to the legendary hero Super Arrow, and helped him earn back his racer's license and build a training academy for wannabe pilots. Stern and in charge, her husband is rather scared of her, but in truth, she pulls off this go-getter attitude because she cares about her husband and wants to protect him from harm. That hasn't stopped her from winning against her husband 9 times out of 10 in the races.
Three years ago, she became a mother, but while she proves to be a loving and caring parent, she has proved just as, if not more, capable as her husband in terms of superheroics. More often than not, she's volunteered to do her husband's old hero routine while he stays behind to care for her son, and Super Arrow is often too scared to object.
 	Gomar and Shioh 	
Twin Norrita (#22)
Body: E
Boost: A
Grip: C	
Age: 105
Homeworld: Huckmine
Gomar and Shioh are of the Furikake race, known for their unique tradition of pairing two of their own up from birth and having them function as one person. 
Three years ago, they were arranged to be married, which required a partner swap, which caused many people to assume that they would no longer race afterwards. However, a rather embarrasing accident occured during a Grand Prix, and their arranged wives dumped them. but the duo is persistent, and are determined to find each other mates; even just one.
 	Silver Neelsen 	
Night Thunder (#23)
Body: B
Boost: A
Grip: E	
Age: 101
Homeworld: Port Town
Silver Neelsen, nicknamed "Ironman Silver" by F-Zero fans, holds the record for attending the most Grand Prixs; and not once has he been in the top 3 in any of them. When asked about retirement, he vehemently denied any thought of it, and plans to keep racing until the day he dies. In fact, he actually claims he will literally not let himself die until he has won a Grand Prix.
Many people assume that the reason he has yet to win a Grand Prix is because of how old his machine is. Despite this, Neelsen regularly rants about modern machines and how they've made racers soft. Nobody has the heart to tell him that the reason he's lived so long is because of the modern cybernetics that were installed in his body after the Grand Finale seven years ago. It's also believed that years ago, he's trained countless racers, including none other than Captain Falcon himself. Neelsen never confirmed nor denied any of these allegations, but this is most likely because he has forgotten due to old age.
 	Michael Chain 	
Wild Boar (#24)
Body: A
Boost: C
Grip: C	
Age: 42
Homeworld: Mandrill 4
After his parents were killed in a drive-by shooting, Michael Chain (the surname was given to him, considering he never found out his family name) was taken in by the infamous Bloody Chain gang. He's considered himself to be a top-class racer and fighter, and nobody in the galaxy can top him. In reality, the actual racing experience he has is driving away from Space Police. He joined the F-Zero Grand Prix to prove the might of the Bloody Chain, but all he proved was that he was an incompetent racer. Humiliating his fellow thugs, many of them left the gang and the Bloody Chain was reduced to just 30 members. Captain Falcon beating the gang at Michael's challenge was the final nail in the coffin, and soon only Michael was all that was left of the Bloody Chain. Desperate for power, he joined the Dark Million to help reform his gang, and now, mostly due to the efforts of other members, the Bloody Chain is more feared than it ever was before.
During races, he apparently listens to a fusion of death metal and opera music, because he claims it brings back memories of his parents.
 	Blood Falcon 	
Blood Hawk/Hell Hawk (#25)
Body: B
Boost: A
Grip: E	
Voice Actor: Hideyuki Tanaka (JP)/Crispin Freeman (EN)
Age: 40 (Physically), 7 (Since creation)
Homeworld: Unknown
During the horrific "Grand Finale" seven years ago, Captain Falcon was caught up in the wreckage, and was hospitalized. It's believed that he lost an organ while undergoing surgery, and by quite possibly more than coincidence, a break-in was reported at the hospital Falcon was in. The intruder was, in fact, Black Shadow, who stole the damaged organ from his future rival to create an army of clones of him in order to steal his secrets. Almost everyone except Black Shadow is unaware of this, but there have been several Blood Falcons attending the Grand Prix over the years. Serial Number SM-90 was seemingly killed near the end of the F-Zero X Grand Prix, Serial Number Trif-03 was seemingly killed (again) during the AX Cup, and Serial Number WXDS-8 was the one who aided Black Shadow before Deathborn teleported him to an unknown location, and is also leading a belligerence against the Galactic Federation now.
Despite the obvious fact that he was created, he believes that he is the real Captain Falcon, and his rival template has brainwashed the populace into turning a blind eye to all of his "crimes". This has led many people to believe that his psychology is vastly different from Captain Falcon's and he may see the world in his own perspective. Whether or not Black Shadow intended this is up for debate, as nobody is brave enough to ask him themselves.
 	John Tanaka 	
Wonder Wasp (#26)
Body: D
Boost: A
Grip: D	
Age: 36
Homeworld: White Land
A gifted mechanic of Chinese descent, John Tanaka was childhood friends with Jody Summer and Beastman. He eventually came to fall in love with Jody. Mason Summer picked up on this, and supported the couple, and had them study closely together at the University of Io. When Jody decided to join the Galactic Federation Military, John quickly joined up with her. Even now, he is still yearning for her love, and his only reason for joining the Grand Prix is to protect Jody from danger. He could care less about winning, but in the incredibly unlikely event that he does, he plans on proposing to her.
Jody, deep down, finds her old friend's chivalrous nature to be endearing, but at the same time somewhat demeaning, as she's proved to hold her own in countless scenarios.
 	Draq 	
Mighty Typhoon (#27)
Body: C
Boost: A
Grip: D	
Age: 137
Homeworld: Venus
Bellongian Draquillie was always interested in racing, and when the F-Zero Grand Prix was founded years ago, Draq became quite the fan of the races, much to the chagrin of his coworker, Roger Buster. One day, the both of them came across two unmarked machines with no return address. Draq knew this was his chance to fulfill his lifelong dream, and finally convinced Roger that if they attend, the owners are bound to notice their machines and come to collect them. 
Years have passed, and nobody came to retrieve them. Now Draq and Roger are legally in possesion of their machines. But now Draq feels guilty of taking this machine for himself, especially when the thought that the owners are dead is on his mind.
 	Roger Buster 	
Mighty Hurricane (#28)
Body: E
Boost: B
Grip: B	
Age: 44
Homeworld: Port Town
Roger Buster lives by the mantra that "No consignment is too dangerous!" and is known for carrying out ridiculous deliveries across the galaxy. Most people get their deliveries from drones nowadays, so Roger has become somewhat famous for his daring personality, and he often makes friends with the people who ordered from him, including a Venusian named Draq, who later became so close to him that he decided to work with him at his cargo company. While Draq is a huge fan of F-Zero, Roger doesn't have all that much of an interest in it, and when two anonymous machines ended up in their care, Roger simply entered the Grand Prix just to complete the delivery.
Unfortunately for him, his employers have used drones more often, considering how much cheaper they are, and Roger was eventually laid off. And despite Draq's theory that the owners of their machines are dead, Roger is still determined to finish the delivery and prove a human work force is superior to automated labor.
 	Dr. Clash 	
Crazy Bear (#29)
Body: A
Boost: B
Grip: E	
Age: 58
Homeworld: Port Town
Doctor Theodore Clash grew up without many friends or romantic partners, and lived most of his life as a "supertonic geekoid". While he may not be very physically fit, he makes up for it with his genius-level intellect, and he has become a famed and brilliant engineer. His inventions have famously saved the lives of many after a radiation leak in Red Canyon. 
About eight F-Zero machines currently in use were designed by him, and about six of them are used by female pilots. Even at his age, he still flirts with women on a regular basis, but very rarely is this welcome. Regardless, he is valued by the Mobile Task Force for his tech expertise.
 	Black Shadow 	
Black Bull (#30)
Body: A
Boost: E
Grip: A	
Voice Actor: Norio Wakamoto (JP)/Dameon Clarke (EN)
Age: Unknown
Homeworld: Unknown
His list of crimes committed being beyond recordable, Black Shadow has earned his reputation as arguably the most dangerous man in the galaxy. Why he is so demented and sociopathic is as much of a topic for discussion as Captain Falcon's origins, and why the two are mortal enemies. Some people believe he is, in essence, an "anti-Falcon", and may have grown up in stark contrast to Falcon. It's speculated that he was adopted by a wealthy family, but he displayed signs of how twisted he was very early on, and eventually murdered his adoptive parents. He built the Dark Million all by himself, and some say that the devil himself has personally congratulated him for committing every sin possible. Out of the many methods of murdering countless innocents, arsony seems to be a clear favorite. He is also prone to random outbursts of maniacal laughter.
Knowing how evil he is, many question why he consistently returns to the F-Zero Grand Prix and is allowed to re-enter. He most likely forces the F-Zero Committee to let him in via methods such as torture, threat, blackmail, and ransom.
His current whereabouts are unknown.
 	Don Genie 	
Fat Shark (#31)
Body: A
Boost: B
Grip: E	
Age: 68
Homeworld: Mute City
Don Genie is the CEO of Genie IT Software, Ltd., a massive tech company that produces goods ranging from televisions to computers and cell phones. Don Genie himself is believed to be the richest man in the universe, and because of this, he has been arrested several times for illegal activities and normally gets out scot-free because of the bail money he pays. In addition, he runs a massive underground gambling ring, and often rigged races in his favor.
He is thought to have very close ties to Black Shadow, and used to serve as a loyal commander of his.
 	Terry "Digi-Boy" Getter	
Cosmic Dolphin (#32)
Body: E
Boost: A
Grip: C	
Age: 15
Homeworld: Aeropolis
Terry Getter, known among others as "Digi-Boy" thanks to his knack for technological devices, is a brilliant young astrophysicist attending the Einstein Academy. After careful analysis and simulation of the F-Zero races, Terry developed what he believed to be the perfect machine, so he could enter the Grand Prix and prove he is the smartest person in the universe.
While science may be second nature for him, his talents haven't really won over the attention of many women, specifically, his classmate Sharon.
 	Dai San Gen 	
Pink Spider (#33)
Body: C
Boost: C
Grip: A	
Age: 67
Homeworld: Shinar
Dai San Gen are telepathic triplets who can live to age 200, despite remaining small for the rest of their lives. All three of them are pretty big gamblers, and their attitude on the F-Zero circuit reflects that; all three of them trust each other to certain roles in piloting. The uncle who raised all three of them is up to his eyeballs in debt, and they aim to use the prize money from winning the Grand Prix to get their guardian out of the red.
 	Spade 	
Magic Seagull (#34)
Body: B
Boost: A
Grip: E	
Age: Unknown
Homeworld: Apparently Big Blue
This traveling circus magician is shrouded in complete and utter mystery. Nobody knows if he is human, what his face is under the mask, or how being placed in a globe at birth caused him to gain a spinning orb in his abdomen.
His circus has fallen on hard times, and Spade has entered the F-Zero Grand Prix to raise money to ensure the show still goes on. Despite the burden he carries on his shoulders (assuming he has shoulders), Spade is known for pulling off mind-blowing stunts during races while simultaneously not taking them seriously, and occasionally, even dropping out in the midst of them. Because of this, his reputation isn't great, and he has learned that his son is being bullied at school because of it. He now races to prove how great of a father he is, but his attitude hasn't changed in the slightest.

Dai Goroh is, obviously, the son of Samurai Goroh and his wife, Lisa Brilliant. Dai is more than a bit of a troublemaker, known for pulling off a lot of pranks on his friends and family (including dropping a live frog in his father's mouth while he was sleeping). What he lacks in intelligence, he makes up for in immense love for his family. His most prized possesion is actually a vintage action figure of his father, made way back when Goroh debuted on the F-Zero scene and quickly became a fan-favorite.

Homeworld: Magica
The bubbly princess of the Magican Sovereignty. She escaped the strict confines of her overprotective father three years ago, and entered the F-Zero Grand Prix with no experience whatsoever just for the thrill of the race.
She's come a long way from the ditzy, spoiled princess who takes what she has for granted. She's become one of the best and most popular racers on the F-Zero circuit, and is among the Top Ten most viable pilots. Because of this, tensions were able to cool down between the Galactic Federation and Magican Sovereignty. She joined the Mobile Task Force to learn how to enforce law into a world, knowing she will eventually be queen of Magica, and has put the advanced technology of her homeworld to good use to help both her home and the world she's yearned to see for so long. While she does enjoy having billions of people across the galaxy be charmed by her and giving their hearts away, she doesn't seem to share a mutual love for male fans...
