## History

### **Before F-Zero X**

Dr. Clash was an F-Zero engineer, and had dreamed of becoming an F-Zero pilot.

When the huge F-Zero accident occurred and led to a suspension of F-Zero races for three years, Dr. Clash, who was not a pilot himself until the F-Zero X Grand Prix, took the accident into account when he was designing the Crazy Bear. He prioritized durability over speed, as the machine would be strong enough to prevent its pilot from fatality in the future. Years of research went into the Crazy Bear.

Before Dr. Clash would enter the F-Zero X Grand Prix, he had also designed the Hyper Speeder for Beastman. Beastman, while out in the jungle, stumbled upon a downed fighter aircraft and took the wreckage to Dr. Clash, who converted it into an F-Zero machine for a low price. Following standard F-Zero requirements, Dr. Clash provided the Hyper Speeder with a strong grip.

### **F-Zero X**

Three years after the huge F-Zero accident, Dr. Clash would enter his first F-Zero Grand Prix, the F-Zero X Grand Prix.

A former F-Zero engineer, it has been Dr. Clash’s dream to become a pilot. He is participating in the race with a machine he designed and built himself.

 **(English Translation by Sidier):** He used to be an F-Zero machine engineer but since he'd dreamt of being a pilot since his youth and never could let go of that dream, he made some tools to assist driving and his old body, as well as riding in a machine designed by himself.

### **F-Zero GX**

Though he didn't win the last time, he re-entered the following year for the F-Zero GX Grand Prix.

Dr. Clash is an F-ZERO engineer unable to give up his dream of becoming an F-ZERO pilot. He created a special gadget to compensate for his limited athletic abilities and, after spending years of research to customize his F-ZERO machine, finally got to race.

 **DeepL Translation:** Originally, he was an F-ZERO machine engineer, but he couldn't give up his dream of being a pilot. He had developed his own steering aid to follow up on his inactive body. He then aimed to win the Grand Prix in a completely original, self-designed machine that incorporates all the skills he has developed as an engineer over the years.

#### **F-Zero GX Story Mode**

He was featured in Chapter 3 of the Story Mode, as one of the pilots at the Bet & Race Dollars bar, where he also apparently works as the bartender. He was also one of the pilots in the Chapter 7 F-Zero GX Grand Prix.

#### **Castaway's Blues Dr. Clash**

Upon beating any Grand Prix on Master mode with the Crazy Bear, it will unlock a special video for Dr. Clash, which also features his theme song.

Dr. Clash appears to be on vacation, spending time on a beach. He heads into the water and relaxes on a pool float, with one of his mechanical arms fanning him. A big flying bug appears to interrupt Dr. Clash's relaxation, bothering him. The mechanical arm then attempts to swat away the bug, but it ends up swatting Dr. Clash in the face instead. He appears to be dazed until the end of the video.

## Trivia

* Dr. Clash has never had a given first name.
	+ **Theodore Clash is not canon and comes from a contradictory source.**
* Although Dr. Clash designed the Hyper Speeder, it does not use CL engines the way that the Crazy Bear does. The Hyper Speeder uses FGS engines, which are notably used by Galactic Space Federation affiliated machines. One explanation for this could be that the Hyper Speeder was originally a Federation warplane before being shot down, so Dr. Clash merely re-used the engines it originally had.
