F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)/Ryu Suzaku's Story

The following storyline is also not canon to the Anime Universe, as the F-Zero GP Legend GBA game is only loosely based on the anime, and was also released 8 episodes into the anime's original airtime.

Due to the game using the 4Kids English Dub's localized names, Ryu Suzaku will be presented as Rick Wheeler for this page.

At one point, Rick says “Sounds like Margaret calling!” This was most likely a mistranslation of “Maglet” which is a device used by the Mobile Task Force that functions as communicators and keys for their machines.

**Rick Wheeler:** I've taken Octoman!

**Octoman:** Curses! Who is this guy? The little punk is relentless!

**Octoman:** Zoda's gotta help me handle this...

**Rick Wheeler:** Octoman! End of the line, pal!

*(Zoda appears.)*

**Rick Wheeler:** Huh? Who... Whose machine is that?

**Octoman:** Ah, lucky me! Here's my chance!

**Rick:** What the...?

**Zoda:** Ah ha ha haaah!

**Zoda:** Well, well, well! Having a tiff? Ha! Don't mind me! Continue!

**Rick Wheeler:** ZODA!!!

**Rick Wheeler:** Hey! You’re…

**Captain Falcon:** My name is Captain Falcon.

**Rick Wheeler:** … OK, OK, I will…

### **Post-Race**

**Captain Falcon:** Be careful! Who knows what he’ll try to do!

**Captain Falcon:** Hey! What the…

*(Bio Rex appears in the Death Anchor instead.)*

**Rick Wheeler:** ZODA?! No! That’s not Zoda at all!

**Rick Wheeler:** But somehow…

**Rick Wheeler:** We both woke from a frozen sleep in this era.

**Rick Wheeler:** And so, I’m still chasing him.

**Rick Wheeler:** So, Captain Falcon, I don’t care how famous you are…

**Rick Wheeler:** I won’t just give up Zoda to you!

**Captain Falcon:** OK, OK. So Zoda gets cash from the Grand Prix…

**Rick Wheeler:** Really?!?

**Rick Wheeler:** In that case, I gotta go register right away!

**Rick Wheeler:** Captain Falcon! We’ll meet again!

**Jack Levin:** Just calm down.

**Rick Wheeler:** Was it Zoda?

**Jack Levin:** Hold up, Rick!

**Jack Levin:** Rick, aren’t you a bit obsessed with Zoda lately?

**Jack Levin:** You are. Listen, Jody was taken by a thug known as Blood Falcon.

**Jody Summer:** You swore you’d seize Octoman and take him to HQ!

**Jody Summer:** I sympathize, but personal agendas must be secondary!

**Rick Wheeler:** Jody, I’m sorry.

**Rick Wheeler:** I disobeyed an order over Zoda.

**Rick Wheeler:** Worst of all, I endangered you.

**Jody Summer:** Clearly you can’t do your duty until you capture Zoda.

**Jody Summer:** In that case….

**Jody Summer:** I’m sure he’ll enter the special Big Blue race…

**Rick Wheeler:** What’s that?!?

**Jody Summer:** The next Big Blue race has a huge cash prize.
