Twin Noritta

The Twin Noritta is a machine piloted by Gomar & Shioh / their Anime Universe counterparts.

In the Main Universe, the Twin Noritta was designed by Onigiri Drive Yard Co. (Onigiri Driveyard Inc. in JP), as a machine for two pilots to drive despite the initial rejection by the F-Zero Committee due to the rules of the F-Zero Grand Prix during F-Zero X.

In the Anime Universe, it was designed by the Animeverse Gomar & Shioh with the help of Lucy Liberty in Lap 19 - Lucy's Epic Duel.

## General Machine Information

### Designer

Onigiri Drive Yard Inc. (Onigiri Driveyard Co. in JP version)

### Appears In

F-Zero X
F-Zero GX

## Technical Stats

### **F-Zero X**

The Twin Noritta first appeared in F-Zero X, piloted by Gomar & Shioh. It is unlockable.

### **F-Zero GX**

 **(English Translation by Sidier):** It's a machine for 2 pilots, and it uses the specialty metal from the planet Hackmine, the "Wakamail", for its exterior, thus making it incredibly lightweight. Amongst the machines taking part in the races, this one's the lightest of them all. But this comes at the cost of sacrificing the body's strength, demanding a control technique to run the course without bumping into other machines or guard beams.

## General Machine Information

### Debut

F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime) Lap 19 - Lucy's Epic Duel

### Appears In

F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)

## Technical Stats

### **F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)**

As the Animeverse Gomar & Shioh had a desire to become the greatest villains that the galaxy has ever known, they resorted to scamming people in order to build up the funds to design their own F-Zero machine in Lap 19 - Lucy's Epic Duel. Lucy Liberty was lured to a room in their 'office' upon overhearing the duo argue with each other, initially wanting to confront them for scamming her, but instead offered to help design the machine after being swayed by their presumably false tragic backstory. The Twin Noritta did fairly well in the race later on, until Gomar & Shioh overused the booster and the machine fell apart before they could reach the finish line. Gomar & Shioh promised Lucy they would repair the Twin Norrita and resume their racing career once they finished their prison sentence.

Despite the one-time appearance of its pilots, the Twin Noritta makes other appearances in other episodes, its unclear if this is an oversight or the two fulfilling their word to Lucy.

### **F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)**

In the F-Zero GP Legend GBA game, the Twin Noritta appears as an unlockable machine.

### **F-Zero Climax**

ブーストパワーは強力で、グリップ力も悪くなく、かなりポテンシャルの高いマシン。
 **Twin Noritta (English Translation):** Machine Number 22.
This machine has a powerful boost while also having decent grip on the course, which gives it a lot of potential. However, the unique lightweight design means it has extremely low durability and requires skill to properly handle.

## Trivia

**Mainverse:**

* As Gomar and Shioh's names are food puns, the Twin Noritta's name is most likely based on nori seaweed.
	+ The material of which the machine is made of (ワカメール wakameru, rendered as wakamail/wakamil) is also most likely a reference to wakame, an edible seaweed.

**Animeverse:**

* Although machine engines are usually not shown in the anime related media, the engine for the Twin Noritta in Lap 19 is marked as "KOM-E246x2," identical to its Mainverse counterpart. It is not known for certain if the other machines in the anime borrow from the Mainverse, though much of the anime does borrow some elements from the Mainverse as well.
