## History

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

Roger had been an intergalactic deliveryman for at least 20 years before F-Zero GX, but worked alongside Draq at some point in their shared business prior to F-Zero X.

Earlier in the same year of the F-Zero X Grand Prix, Roger and Draq had come across two machines intended for an unknown participant of the F-Zero X Grand Prix. However, no one had come to claim the machines. While Roger had no particular interest in F-Zero, Draq convinced him to enter the machines in the upcoming race.

### **F-Zero X**

Roger and Draq were not successful in finding the intended recipients nor winning the Grand Prix, having lost to Captain Falcon.

Roger, a transportation guru, was supposed to transport a machine to an unknown participant. His partner persuaded him to abandon that idea and race for himself.

 **(English Translation by Sidier):** He's a space carrier which means he works in the transportation industry. He has a policy of undertaking any job they ask of him, regardless of the danger. But since this time around, he was asked to deliver an F-Zero machine and the client is missing, he wasn't sure what to do with it. And for some reason, he ended up taking part in the race at the suggestion of his buddy, Draq...

### **F-Zero GX**

The delivery duo would enter the F-Zero GX Grand Prix the following year to try again, more so to find the owners rather than winning the race.

Roger is a galactic deliveryman famous for his policy of “No consignment too dangerous!” He’s set to enter the race again with Draq in machines of unknown ownership. While Draq is a huge F-ZERO fan, Roger himself isn’t too interested in it.
For Roger, finding the proper owner of the machines so that he can complete his deliveries is the overall goal of the competition.

 **DeepL Translation:** His main job is as an interplanetary transporter, and he has a policy of "transporting anything dangerous if asked to do so." Like the last Grand Prix, Roger is once again racing with his partner, Draq, in an unclaimed package F-Zero machine. Draq, his partner, is an ardent F-Zero fan, but Roger himself is not so interested in F-Zero. Roger is a courier from the very bottom of his heart, and his first priority is to find the recipient of his F-Zero machine as soon as possible and deliver it to them.

Roger is a galactic deliveryman famous for his policy of “No consignment too dangerous!” He’s set to enter the race again with Draq in machines of unknown ownership. Roger wants to focus on finding the owner of the machines to complete the delivery.

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

Roger and Draq are seen at the Bet & Race Dollars bar during Chapter 3, and are also part of the Chapter 7 F-Zero GX Grand Prix.

#### **Occupation: Deliveryman Roger Buster**

Upon beating any Grand Prix on Master mode with the Mighty Hurricane, it will unlock a special video for Roger Buster, which also features his theme song.

Roger is seen driving his delivery truck down the highway in his Master Pilot video. Though he seems to be driving well, he eventually crashes into his recipient's home. He comes out unscathed with the package under his arm, but upon ringing the doorbell, he notices the recipient's door has fallen as a result of the crash.

## Trivia

* The mention of Roger being a courier for over 20 years in his F-Zero GX JP interview lines was not mentioned in the English version of the game for some reason.
* Roger also has an interview line that was altered outside of Japan. "A nice cold beer" was changed to "A nice cold drink," although the "drink" replacement does not flow as smoothly in the sentence.
* The name of Roger and Draq's delivery service may be called "Star Express," given the decals on the delivery boxes during Roger's F-Zero GX Master Pilot video.
	+ Interestingly, the designer of their machines is named Team Shooting Star.
* Some fans believe Roger may have been driving while drunk in his F-Zero GX Master Pilot video, as his F-Zero GX interviews state he'd go for a drink after a victory, and he crashes his delivery truck into a recipient's home.
* His Animeverse counterpart may also drive a truck aside from piloting a transport ship, as there is a visual reference to Mainverse Roger's truck seen in his F-Zero GX Master Pilot video, within Lap 10 of the anime.
