## History

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

Some time before the F-Zero X Grand Prix, Antonio Guster was the right hand man of Samurai Goroh, until Goroh betrayed him into the hands of the Galactic Space Federation.

After serving a prison sentence, Antonio was able to walk free, but he wanted revenge on his former mentor. Upon leaving Goroh's group of Space Bandits at some point, Antonio stole a machine from the Space Bandits, in which the machine was originally intended to be spare machine for Goroh.

### **F-Zero X**

With vengeance still in mind, Antonio would then join the F-Zero X Grand Prix.

### **F-Zero GX**

A year after F-Zero X, despite losing to Captain Falcon in the Grand Prix, Antonio still held a heavy grudge over Samurai Goroh's betrayal. By GX, Antonio had entered the Grand Prix again, with his resolve as strong as ever.

(It is interestingly noted that Antonio had been a solo bandit since the betrayal, but states that he has a gang in one of his F-Zero GX interviews. Another interview also reveals some more light on the betrayal, as Antonio states that when the Galactic Space Federation put a price on his head, Goroh tried to turn him in for the money.)

After his release, he became a solo bandit, and now his only purpose in life is to have his revenge on Goroh, ideally in front of millions of fans on the F-ZERO circuit.

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

Antonio made a brief appearance in Chapter 3 of the Story Mode, also upset with the results of the bet race. He was also part of the Chapter 7 F-Zero Grand Prix.

#### **Fighting Mid-lifer Antonio Guster**

Upon beating any Grand Prix on Master mode with the Green Panther, it will unlock a special video for Antonio Guster, which also features his theme song.

Like Blood Falcon and Lily Flyer, Antonio Guster also finds himself at the same laundromat. He steps into the laundromat, putting his clothes into the washing machine before taking a nap. When he awakens, he finds that his clothes are missing from the washing machine. A woman passes by with a basket of clothes, one of which falls from the basket. Antonio ends up taking a pink dress and exiting the scene while wearing it.

## Trivia

* The US GX pilot profile for Antonio says Goroh betrayed him into the hands of the Galactic Space Allies, but Antonio states "When the Federation put a price on my head, [Goroh] tried to turn me in!" in his interview. Translating Antonio's JP interview script and JP pilot profile ends with a result of "Galactic Space Federation."
* He has a blue mohawk under his helmet, seen in his GX interview.
* Despite being a solo bandit, Antonio apparently can trust some people if he goes out of his way to mention his own gang, in the context of none of the members being able to beat him in a fight.
* When he's not racing, Antonio works as a bodyguard and plays baseball in his spare time.
* According to F-Zero GX's in-game CARDT data about the Green Panther, it states "It was originally a spare machine of Goroh, but he stole it from the Galactic Gang of Thieves."
