Lap 05 - Brilliant Trap

Brilliant Trap is the 5th episode of the F-Zero Farukon Densetsu anime.

## Overview

An F-Zero race occurs, but the Dragon Bird is notably absent from the lineup. Its pilot, Ryu Suzaku, had been injured following an attempt to stop a small group of shady people from vandalizing his machine. Instead, he watches Jack Levin participate in the race. However, a green haired woman observes Jack from the crowd during an F-Zero race.

The woman later meets up with Jack at a bar. She reveals her name as 'Lisa', and the two have a small chat and some drinks before heading over to the pool table. Once there, 'Lisa' knocks Jack out with a calculated pool shot and steals the key for his machine.

As she takes the Astro Robin for a spin, she notices the navigation system's names consist of various women's names. Selecting one of the names brings her to the Galaxy Police Headquarters, to her surprise. As 'Lisa' finds herself in the Elite Mobile Task Force's section of the Headquarters, she comes across Dr. Clash but quickly knocks him out. She finds out soon enough that the machines in the garage are all part of the Galaxy Police, and shoots all of the machines. She leaves with her stolen treasure, but also Jack's Astro Robin.

As the Task Force comes across the wreckage, Director John Tanaka panics at the sight. As the Task Force tries to determine who the culprit was, Jody Summer kicks Jack out of the Task Force, now that the secrecy of their group has been discovered by an outsider.

   Later on, Jack and Ryu had come across the club where Jack and Lisa had met. Confronting the group that attacked Ryu sometime before, they warn Jack to leave 'Lisa' alone. Ryu attempted to confront the group, but they ended up disappearing through the use of a smoke bomb.

Sometime afterwards, the Task Force were able to track down the Astro Robin, painted pink with feminine markings by 'Lisa.' Unbeknownst to Jody, Ryu and Dr. Clash had decided on adding another seat to the Dragon Bird. Jack and Ryu then teamed up and joined the race in a two-seated Dragon Bird, and eventually blocked the Astro Robin with the help of Dr. Stewart's Golden Fox. However, shortly after Jack confronted 'Lisa,' she made her escape on Samurai Goroh's Fire Stingray. Ryu questions why Goroh appeared, but Jack realizes 'Lisa' is actually Lisa Brilliant, the Space Pirate wife of Samurai Goroh.

Jody had been watching the events unfold, however. Back at the Task Force HQ, Jack says goodbye to his Astro Robin, assuming he was still off the Task Force. However, the rest of the squad arrives, welcoming him back. Jody then gives an order to Jack, saying that if he doesn't take his machine back, he'll get even more time off. Jack obliges, and suggests throwing a party, but Lucy Liberty and Ryu tell him to get over himself.

## Trivia

* The group that caused Ryu's arm injury appear to be Samurai Goroh's bandits (Sasuke, Hakuun, Tsukikage, and Gensai) in disguise. As Lisa Brilliant is the wife of Samurai Goroh, the group also works for her.
	+ Additionally, they also tell Jack to "Leave Lisa be and you will not be harmed."
Nichi

Nichi is the pilot of the Wind Walker (Crazy Horse in JP version) in F-Zero Maximum Velocity.

As a prideful Native American man of few words, he worships his ancestors and has a love of their art.

## Appearance

Nichi is a Native American adult man with a brown complexion and long dark brown hair, which is tied at the end. He has a red headband across his forehead.

Aside from sporting a light green racing suit with a brown vest over it, he also wears several necklaces of presumably Native American origin, wears a dark colored belt with a lighter color buckle, and wears silver kneepads. On his shoulders are two silver orb-shaped shoulder pads with a marking of a yellow ringed orange planet on them.

There is some sort of small black device attached to his left arm with a green screen and button, and he wears fingerless black gloves with what appear to be silver rings on his knuckles, as opposed to on the finger. His boots are dark brown with a lighter color rim at the top.

He is also seen holding a silver helmet with a brown crest that looks similar to a mohawk. It has three red stripes on the side, and has a green visor.

## Trivia

* Nichi's machine, the Wind Walker, is called the Crazy Horse in the JP version of F-Zero Maximum Velocity. There is a possibility that perhaps this name was changed because Crazy Horse was the name of a Native American leader in real life.

The Sonic Phantom is a machine piloted by The Skull / his Anime Universe counterpart.

## General Machine Information

### Designer

Abinus Company (US)
Abinus Inc. (JP)

### Appears In

F-Zero X
F-Zero GX

## Technical Stats

### **F-Zero X**

The Sonic Phantom is an unlockable machine.

### **F-Zero GX**

**Note:** The Sonic Phantom lacks an F-Zero GX/AX in-game CARDT due to the fact that its information is copied directly from the Blood Hawk's CARDT, for some strange reason. This may have just been an error on the developers' part.

## General Machine Information

### Appears In

F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)
F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)

F-Zero Climax

## Machine Stats

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

The Sonic Phantom appears throughout the anime, but was not piloted by The Skull's Animeverse counterpart until after Lap 8.

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

The Sonic Phantom is an unlockable machine.

### **F-Zero Climax**

 **(JP):**マシンナンバー１６
 **(English Translation):** Machine Number 16.
Uses the first ever small-scale Aura Engine, an engine designed to run on energy from living organisms. It has fantastic boost performance. Rumor has it that the machine's power source is energy sucked right out of the audience, by using black magic.

## Trivia

***Main Universe:***

* In spite of F-Zero Complete Guidebook claiming it uses a special 'aura' engine. The Sonic Phantom uses a CY type engine which is also seen in the Red Gazelle, Mad Wolf, and Groovy Taxi machines.
	+ it is likely the Sonic Phantom's engine is not proprietary to the Albinus Company, and was merely heavily modified to accomodate the thematic fuel source.
Kevin Stewart

## Appearances

### Appears in

Mentioned in Dr. Stewart's bios from SNES, X (JP manual), GX (Pilot Profile). AX (Golden Fox bio).

### Debut

Mentioned in the F-Zero SNES manual in Dr. Stewart's bio

Kevin Stewart was the designer of the Golden Fox, and was also the late father of Dr. Stewart.

## History

Kevin Stewart was a scientist and professor, as well as the designer of the Golden Fox. The machine was also stated to have belonged to him, according to the F-Zero X US manual.

He designed the machine with an emphasis on acceleration, sacrificing the body strength and making the Golden Fox a machine that needed to be handled by a skilled pilot. Kevin passed away at least ten years before F-Zero GX, leaving the Golden Fox to be inherited by his son, Dr. Robert Stewart.

Although Kevin is deceased, he was a man of strong convictions according to Dr. Stewart, who wishes to follow in his footsteps.

## Trivia

* Despite the fact he is only stated canonically to be a scientist, professor, and designer of the Golden Fox, there are odd cases where Nintendo of America has apparently claimed he was a pilot.
	+ These odd cases are found ONLY within few instances.
		- The US version of the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U trophy data for Dr. Stewart, which claims Kevin Stewart was a racer. HOWEVER, the PAL and JP trophy bios say he was only a scientist.
		- The infamous F-Zero X NOA website biographies for the 30 playable pilots, which is full of blatant inconsistency and clashes with official and canon Main Universe in both Japanese and English.
		- The NOA website even uses the wrong name and even further incorrectly claims that he was a pilot in the F-Zero X Grand Prix. This is despite the facts that Kevin died at least 10 years before F-Zero GX, and if SNES still connects to X (Because X is a year before GX in the Main Universe timeline), he died before the SNES F-Zero Grand Prix. Regardless, it was still long before F-Zero X's sole Grand Prix.

Michael Chain (Anime)

## This article is about the Anime Universe Michael Chain. For his Main Universe counterpart, see Michael Chain.

Michael Chain is the pilot of the Wild Boar, and is the leader of the Bloody Chain (Space Racer Clan in the 4Kids English Dub).

## History

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

#### **2201**

Michael Chain's fellow gang members make various appearances throughout the anime, but Michael officially debuted in Lap 7. He was responsible for the missing F-Zero pilots who had been kidnapped, and had Truecome work for him by using his girlfriend, Dream, as blackmail.

Though he escaped arrest from the Galaxy Police, it would not be the last time he was seen.

#### **2202**

Michael had appeared once again, attempting to lure Jack Levin out by posing as Jack's former street thug persona, The Shinigami. He was also in contact with Dark Million's Baba, with the possible chance of working with Zoda. Though Jack had confronted Michael prior, the two raced and fought one another before reaching a dead end.

Although Michael and his gang, along with Baba, were arrested, he and Baba appeared amongst Dark Million's ranks just a few episodes later during Lap 43.

## F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)

In the F-Zero GP Legend GBA game, Michael is a playable character with his machine, the Wild Boar. He is not a main Story Mode character, but he is part of Jody Summer's story.

## F-Zero Climax

 **Michael Chain (English Translation):** Up until few years ago, he headed up a space gang called the "Bloody Chain" with tens of thousands of subordinates. He entered the F-Zero Grand Prix to showcase his skills and represent his crew. However, rather than increasing membership, entering has actually made members start to leave.

Super Cat

The Super Cat is a machine piloted by Jody Summer, and is a featured machine in the *F-Zero X Expansion Kit*.

## Overview

The Super Cat has different stats when compared to Jody's standard machine, the White Cat. Additionally, the Super Cat also weighs more. Jody also receives an alternate outfit when piloting the Super Cat.

The machine's data can be accessed through cheats even in F-Zero X through emulation, but doing so will slow the game down.
Mist Flow

Mist Flow is a venue featured in F-Zero GP Legend and F-Zero Climax.

As its name suggests, Mist Flow is a venue in which its tracks are surrounded in mist. Buildings in the distance are still visible to an extent in F-Zero Climax.

## F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)

### **Tracks**

* Front & Back I (Silver Cup)
* Front & Back II (Silver Cup)

## Trivia

* Despite being a venue only present in the Anime-based games, it was not featured in any episode of the F-Zero Farukon Densetsu anime.
* Mist Flow is the only venue in the entire franchise to have permanent mist as a hazard on the tracks.
Machine

Machines are racing vehicles driven by pilots, usually in setting of the F-Zero Grand Prix races. However, they can be utilized outside of racing as a method of transportation like a typical car.

**In the Main F-Zero Universe,** they were first developed sometime before the first F-Zero Grand Prix, and utilized "the latest in super-magnetic technology," granting them the ability to hover about one foot above the established track ground. This technology was later referred to as an antigravity unit within the machines, called a G-Diffuser system. Machines also contain ultra-compact plasma / micro plasma engines that allow them to exceed even the speed of sound.

**In the Anime F-Zero Universe,** 'Bart Lemming' explains that F-Zero machines function through an anti-gravity drive and also run on a G-Diffuser system. The G-Diffuser jet-like engines allow the machines to reach very high speeds. F-Zero machines can even go up to 200 km/h. He also mentions that the average price of an F-Zero machine is 500 million credits. The Dragon Bird and the rest of the Elite Mobile Task Force machines are specifically stated to cost no less than a billion, due to being higher class machines. However, even old F-Zero machines can cost millions of credits.

The Stingray

The Stingray is a machine piloted by Alexander O'Neil.

## F-Zero Maximum Velocity

Its design is also unique in that it uses air resistance as a tool when cornering. The downside to using air resistance is that it makes the Stingray lose more speed than other machines in the corners. As compensation, the Stingray suppresses magnetic friction allowing it to maintain its inertia on straight stretches.

Its cornering method is also different from the other machines, as it uses its body to change direction by using air resistance. As a result, the machine’s cornering deceleration is greater than that of other machines. However, the magnetic friction is minimized to compensate for this, so the inertia is sustained for a long time in a straight line.

## Tips

* The Stingray has interesting attributes. It has the second fastest base top speed, while sporting a very long boost duration, a great jumping ability and above-average drifting ability. It is however held back by its average acceleration and low boosted top speed.
* Its jumping ability combined with its drifting capabilities gives it the potential for long shortcuts.
* The Stingray's base top speed allows it to somewhat keep up with the AI machines on Master difficulty, although they can still overtake an unsuspecting player if they're not careful.

## Trivia

* The Stingray's name is similar to the Fire Stingray. However, the two machines are vastly different in terms of controls.
* The Stingray possesses the longest boost in the game, lasting up to 12 seconds, although it also has the lowest boosted top speed in the game.
Kurosuminov Universal Shipbuilders

Kurosuminov Universal Shipbuilders is the designer of Octoman's Deep Claw in the Main Universe.

Not much is known about the designer, as the Deep Claw's descriptions in the F-Zero GX Complete Guidebook, Nintendo Power F-Zero GX Player's Guide, and CARDT data only focus on the fact that the Takorans modified a pre-existing F-Zero machine for Octoman.

It is not known nor clear if Kurosuminov built the original F-Zero machine or were the Takorans who modified the F-Zero machine.

The Moon Shadow is a machine piloted by Miss Killer, aka Misaki Haruka in her brainwashed state.

## F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)

In the F-Zero Farukon Densetsu anime, the Moon Shadow is a machine piloted by Miss Killer.

It is not known what happens to the machine after Haruka returned to normal by Lap 51. It is also unknown if she still races when she's not working at the Falcon House, nor if she is a fulltime Falcon House manager after Bart Lemming's (Andy Summer) passing.

## F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)

In the F-Zero GP Legend GBA game, the Moon Shadow is an unlockable machine, piloted by Miss Killer (though her name is displayed as Misaki Haruka).

## F-Zero Climax

ブラックシャドーが自ら開発にたずさわり、ばく大な費用をかけて造られたマシン。
耐久力、グリップ性能もバツグンでブーストも平均的な数値。
 **(English Translation):** Machine Number 32.
A machine Black Shadow was involved in developing, built at considerable cost. Both its durability and grip are outstanding, at the cost of average boost ability. Because Miss Killer received training under Black Shadow, she is able to handle the difficult machine.

* In Lap 02 - Captain Falcon, Lucy and her friends take a shuttle bus to attend the race on Nintese. When the bus is being attacked on the way to the warp gate, the report audibly mentions "Mute City-Port Town shuttle bus," which implies that Port Town may actually be on Nintese. Both the 4Kids English dub, as well as the fansubs provided by Dreadopp and Zedopp, do not pick up on this.
	+ Nintese is not mentioned for the rest of the series, but Port Town does makes an appearance directly by name and location in Lap 15.

## Trivia

***Main Universe:***

* While Silence is tied with several other venues for second most featured location in the F-Zero franchise, it is the only one out of those to be featured in F-Zero Maximum Velocity.

In F-Zero GX, the Wild Goose more or less retained its modernized appearance, but had a change in its stats. The designer was also stated to be either General or Sergeant Lipit, but was incorrectly depicted as "General Repeat" in the Nintendo Power F-Zero GX Player's Guide bio for the Wild Goose.

The Wild Goose is also playable in F-Zero AX, available from the start along with the other 3 machines that debuted in the SNES game, and the 10 new AX pilots.

**Note:** Death Window should actually be Death Wind. Additionally, the Player's Guide referred to the designer as "General Repeat," despite the name being Sergeant/General Lipit.

元々軍用マシンだっただけに、戦闘重視のチューニングがほどこされている。
ボディはがんじょう、ブースト性能も十分。
 **(English Translation):** Originally a machine made for military use, the Wild Goose has been tuned to be combat-focused. It has strong durability alongside good boost performance. While the machine's grip is below average, this can be overcome with proper piloting skill.

## Trivia

***Main Universe:***

* The machine's engine stat states that is has three engines. However, the Wild Goose's third thruster at the top is drastically different from the other two,

Super Piranha

The Super Piranha is a machine piloted by Kate Alen / her Anime Universe counterpart.

In the Main Universe, it was a machine commissioned by Kate and designed by Team Power Voice (incorrectly localized as "Team Power Boys" in the Nintendo Power F-Zero GX Player's Guide).

In the Anime Universe, the machine's counterpart has no real biography attached, and its description in F-Zero Climax borrows elements from F-Zero GX for some reason.

Lord Cyber

Lord Cyber is the pilot of the Sly Joker.

A pilot of both royal and noble blood, Lord Cyber resides in a remote castle with many servants. His source of income is stated to be unknown.

## Trivia

* Nintendo Power mentions that Lord Cyber's machine is well maintained by "expert mechanics with the most advanced tools," but the game manuals (US, PAL, JP) and even the F-Zero for Gameboy Advance Very Fast Pilot Manual Guide do not mention anything like this. Although, it could be possible that some of Lord Cyber's servants are indeed expert mechanics and have kept the Sly Joker in good maintenance.

Spark Moon

The Spark Moon is a machine piloted by Princia Ramode and designed by the Desert Kingdom Science Technology Development Department.

Princia's sudden decision to become a pilot and join the F-Zero GX Grand Prix prompted her servants to design a machine for her, while also utilizing the technology and science of Magica's advanced society. The Spark Moon was created, while being kept as a secret from Princia's father.

## F-Zero GX / F-Zero AX

 **Spark Moon (English Translation by Sidier):** Planet Magical, which boasts about its great science and tech, gathered all of it and developed this machine. The AI has the techniques of famous pilots inputted into it, and it's designed so that even Princia Ramode, who is taking part in the Grand Prix for the first time, can leave a good track record. Also, to avoid any harm to her during the race, the machine has a high-level safety system installed on it.

*Note: Though the planet name in the English version is "Magica," the original romaji for the JP version is "Majikaru" meaning "Magical."*

*Note: As the CARDT data tends to be presented in broken english or poorly translated, "Magicall" and "Prishia" are intended to be "Magical/Magica" and "Princia."*

## Trivia

* Though Princia says the "Royal Research Institute" designed her machine, the designer name is different from what is said in the interview. It may be possible that they could refer to the same thing, however.
Pink Spider

The Pink Spider is a machine piloted by Dai San Gen, and designed by their grandfather, Dr. Tsumo Reach.

## General Machine Information

### Appears In

F-Zero GX
F-Zero AX

## Technical Stats

### Engine

MJ-1192 x3

 **(English Translation by Sidier):** A F-Zero machine made by Dr. Tsumo, a lover of gambling and the grandfather of the triplets. The 3 cockpits for the passengers can become escape pods in the event of an emergency. Thanks to the crescent moon-shaped balancers set in both sides of the machine, the "Spider Legs," it gives the machine a top-level grip ability.

*Note: Uncle should actually be grandfather. The word for grandfather (おじいさん OJIISAN) and the word for uncle (おじさん (OJISAN) are similar enough to allow for a reasonable mistake in translation. There are also several other oddities within the Nintendo Power GX guide for other machine entries as well.*

*Note: CARDT data sometimes displays names or words incorrectly. The designer is Dr. Tsumo Reach, and the term should be "Spider Legs."*
Magic Seagull

The Magic Seagull is a machine piloted by Spade. It was designed by Spade and his circus friends, though the designer name is stated to be Milk Do Samshu.

## F-Zero GX / F-Zero AX

 **(English Translation by Sidier):** It's a machine made by Spade and his circus pals during their free days. The low height reduces air resistance, allowing it to have very high booster. Instead, it's got low grip and strong idiosyncrasy. By the way, this machine has no doors, Spade appears inside the cockpit with a burst of smoke.

*Note: The GX Player's Guide bio was modified in comparison to what is said in the JP Guidebook and CARDT. The truth is that Spade uses exploding smoke to transition his way in and out of the machine.*

## Trivia

* Given that NG engines are also used in the Fat Shark and Groovy Taxi taxi, along with how it also says "HOT" at the end, it is likely that the Magic Seagull's engines are a modded version of an engine that is commonly sold by a separate engine manufacturer.
Time Patrol

The Time Patrol ("Space Time Police" in Deathborn's F-Zero GX in-game US Pilot Profile) is an organization of time traveling officers who work to maintain the natural order of time and space progression.

Although there are only two known members of the Time Patrol, the Time Patrol recruits from each century.

## Overview

The Time Patrol had covered the case of missing F-Zero pilots after the huge accident three years before F-Zero X. In each investigation that was conducted, Deathborn was the primary suspect in the disappearances. It is not known is he was ever truly responsible, however. It can be assumed that Team Shooting Star was also part of the missing pilots.

The other instance was receiving news that a big event would change the course of history at the F-Zero GX Grand Prix.

Although they have their own set of official Time Patrol machines, there are exceptions to this in the form of the machines used by Phoenix and QQQ.

Phoenix uses the Rainbow Phoenix. The Time Patrol did not build that machine, and neither did Phoenix. The JP F-Zero GX Guidebook and in-game CARDT data state that Phoenix only got this machine from an unknown source. However, Phoenix did build QQQ’s Rolling Turtle. Phoenix simply just got his own machine from somewhere else, but still within the 29th century. He uses it as an undercover patrol car, modifying it to run with limiters for the 26th century GX Grand Prix.

## Known Members

* QQQ.
* Phoenix.
1/2
* QQQ
* Phoenix

QQQ is the robot partner of Phoenix, a Time Patrol detective who hails from the 29th century. Phoenix found QQQ in a waste disposal area, in which the robot had originally been used for landmine detection, and repaired it. Phoenix also designed an F-Zero machine for QQQ, constructed from a military satellite, but his own machine has no clear origin.

QQQ also possesses the ability to time travel, but due to its damaged state, it will not be able to return to the future with Phoenix until its AI is repaired.

## Trivia

* Should a time patrol member experience something like winning an F-Zero Grand Prix *(Phoenix’s what-if GX interview scenarios)*, they cannot accept the prize money, as part of the Time Patrol credo. Yet QQQ seems to be an exception to this.
* It is confirmed that the Time Patrol were the same Space Time Police that ran an investigation on missing F-Zero pilots after the accident 4 years before F-Zero GX, and ruled Deathborn as a primary suspect. And piecing that together, it would also seem very likely that the criminal Phoenix was chasing down is Deathborn, or at least that the event Phoenix came to prevent was Deathborn’s possibility of winning the GX Grand Prix and then destroying the universe.
Underworld F-ZERO

Underworld F-ZERO, referred to as simply "The Underworld" by Deathborn, is the illegal, underground variant of the F-ZERO competition in the Main Universe.

It is not to be confused for the Netherworld or any use of the word "Underworld" specifically said by The Skull.

## History

It is not known how long Underworld F-Zero had existed for, nor when Deathborn had become its champion, but it is first officially mentioned in F-Zero GX's Story Mode. Deathborn introduces himself as the Underworld F-Zero champion in Chapter 7 after Captain Falcon won the F-Zero GX Grand Prix, then challenges him (albeit not mentioning the location) to a race in the Underworld the following day.

Additionally, in his hypothetical scenario interviews, Deathborn also states "I have already won F-ZERO in the Underworld."

Onigiri Drive Yard Co.

Onigiri Drive Yard Co. (Onigiri Driveyard Inc. in JP version) is the designer of the Twin Noritta in the Main F-Zero Universe.

Though not much is known about the designer, they designed the Twin Noritta with the material known as wakamil ("wakamail" in the JP version), which originates from the Gomar & Shioh's home planet, Huckmine (Hackmine in JP version). The material is a special lightweight metal, thus making the Twin Noritta lightweight (albeit with a weak body) as well, despite the fact there are two pilots driving it.

## Trivia

* Although "Onigiri Drive Yard Inc." by name seems to imply that there is more than one person at work for the machine, Gomar & Shioh directly state in one of their F-Zero GX interviews that they have "the best engineer" which refers to one singular person.
	+ However, it might just be that they are crediting their engineer specifically, as opposed to the whole company who may have had extra input into the machine's design.

* Like the machine they designed and the pilots they designed it for, "Onigiri Drive Yard Inc." also contains a food based pun, as "onigiri" refers to "riceball" in Japanese.
Wind Walker

The Wind Walker (Crazy Horse in JP version) is a machine piloted by Nichi.

## F-Zero Maximum Velocity

In addition to these ancient themes, modern aerodynamics were also carefully studied and considered during its construction, and this allows the machine to produce the highest acceleration possible with its engine, the Louis RAM-JET II C.

However, the designer also had aerodynamics in mind. The Louis RAM-Jet II C engine is fully capable of acceleration. The slippiness of cornering will scare inexperienced pilots in blast turns, but that's the designer's calculation, and the experienced pilots are assured of a high performance small turn and a sharp blast turn. However, this does come at a cost in terms of body strength...

## Tips

* Wind Walker is one of the four starting machines, designed as a fragile speedster-type of craft, boasting great acceleration, decent boosted top speed and high turning potential, but also the frailest body in the game. Ironically, this makes it a good choice for experienced players who wants a good challenge.
* Wind Walker's drifting ability is one of the strongest in the game, far exceeding any of the other starting machines. Mastery of this technique is key to play this machine at its full potential.
* Out of the four starting machines, Wind Walker has the best Jump Distance, allowing it to take shortcuts with better consistency.

## Trivia

* The Wind Walker is called the Crazy Horse in the JP version of F-Zero Maximum Velocity. There is a possibility that perhaps this name was changed because Crazy Horse was the name of a Native American leader in real life.
* The Wind Walker is one of the few machines aside of Jet Vermillion to have claimed World Records, specifically Fast Laps, thanks to its drifting ability and above-average boosted top speed.
