## History

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

Kate Alen was a renowned singer and dancer, even chosen to perform the opening ceremony of the F-Zero Grand Prix in the past.

She had also performed at an outdoor concert at Red Canyon before the F-Zero X Grand Prix, but within the same year.

But despite her career, Kate had been captivated by the speed and thrill of F-Zero. She then poured a vast amount of her fortune into commissioning Team Power Voice to build her an F-Zero machine, the Super Piranha.

### **F-Zero X**

This popular singer and dancer has decided to try her hand at racing. She will debut this season.

She made her racing debut in the F-Zero X Grand Prix, having placed her musical career as secondary to her new F-Zero career, but she did not win.

### **F-Zero GX**

She returned for the GX Grand Prix, continuing to put F-Zero before her musical career, but she still performs the opening ceremonies.

Kate is the megastar singer who was chosen to sing at the opening ceremonies of the past several F-ZERO Grand Prix races. Her fans are wild about her powerful dance moves and soulful vocals.
Completely allured by the extreme speed of the race, Kate chose to pursue F-ZERO racing rather than continue furthering her musical career. Taking full advantage of her sense of rhythm and athleticism, she plans to run a rambunctious race.

 **DeepL Translation:** She has sung the opening song for the opening F-Zero ceremony several times in the past. She attracts many people with her intense dancing and powerful voice. Fascinated by the extreme speed of F-ZERO after watching it over time, she chose to compete as an F-ZERO pilot rather than continue her singing career. She makes use of her unmatched sense of rhythm and athleticism to challenge even the toughest of races.

Kate has been chosen once again to sing at the opening ceremony of the F-Zero Grand Prix. With her dance moves and soulful vocals, she consistently tops the charts. Taking full advantage of her sense of rhythm and athleticism, she plans to take home the prize.

#### **Wild Super Model Kate Alen**

Upon beating any Grand Prix on Master mode with the Super Piranha, it will unlock a special video for Kate Alen, which also features her theme song.

Kate Alen can be seen dancing in the spotlight as the camera changes to a view of her backside. As her theme song kicks in, the scene reveals a catwalk. Kate walks the fashion runway, and it isn't long before she is seen in various outfits of different colors (dark blue, red, green, light blue, light green), along with what appear to be multiple versions of her all at once. Cameras in the background flash as each Kate passes by, until two Kates walk back to the entrance, followed by who is assumed to be the real Kate Alen in her familiar orange F-Zero attire. She poses with a smile at the entrance, tilting her head to the side as the video ends.

## Trivia

* The Nintendo Power F-Zero GX Player's Guide mistakenly translated her machine designer's name as "Team Power Boys." It should actually be "Team Power Voice," which connects closely to her occupation as a singer.
* In her GX interview, when asked what she was doing "one year ago," she says "Performing at an outdoor concert at Red Canyon. Who would've thought I'd end up here?" This line implies this concert took place in the same year as the F-Zero X Grand Prix, but prior to its opening.
* In her GX Master Pilot video, she walks the fashion runway, but numerous copies of herself appear at some point.
* Kate is one of the few pilots to not appear in the F-Zero GX Story Mode cutscenes, despite having a CGI model. However, she does appear in-game during the Chapter 7 F-Zero GX Grand Prix.
* Although Lisle Wilkerson is believed to have voiced Kate Alen in F-Zero GX, the voice actress herself seems uncertain if she actually voiced the character.
