Gomar & Shioh are the pilots of the Twin Noritta. They are members of the Furikake (Furikakeru in JP) alien species whose customs revolve around doing everything together as a pair.

## History

### **F-Zero X**

These Furikake people always act as one person. They are a very strange race. While the rules don’t allow pilots to use machines for two riders, they were approved by the Committee. Their machine is the lightest in the circuit.

 **(English Translation by Sidier):** They, the "Furikakeru" folk, work in pairs ever since they are born; that's the curious custom they have. Grand Prix regulations forbid 2 pilots in a same machine, but an exception was made for them.
Their machine is the lightest of all machines taking part in the tournament.

### **F-Zero GX**

On the planet Huckmine, the Furikake people have an odd custom-- they pair up with a partner as soon as they’re born and do everything together.
The intelligent Gomar is very short and envies the stature of Shioh, while Shioh is a tall creature who admires Gomar greatly and depends entirely on his decision-making. This peculiar pair work together, deftly manipulating their F-ZERO machine built for two.
However, these two partners-- who have been together as long as they can remember -- will both marry next year, thereby undergoing a partner change. This event has given rise to many rumors about this F-ZERO Grand Prix being their last together.

*Note: The US in-game Pilot Profile and US manual conflict with ages. 102 is the in-game Pilot Profile age, but it is said to be unknown in the manual. Additionally, the age is also unknown in the JP Pilot Profile, and the JP Pilot Profile also mentions Gomar and Shioh's wives.*

 **DeepL Translation:** The Furikakeru, who live on the planet Hackmine, are a race with an unusual custom of working in pairs since birth. Gomar is smart but short, making him envious of the much taller Shioh. Shioh, on the other hand, respects Gomar for his intellect and knowledge, tending to believe anything he says. Together, they pilot their F-Zero machine with great skill. Although they have been a duo for many years, there are rumors that this will be their last time competing together, as they will be getting married next year, thus changing partners. By the way, Gomar's wife is named "Three" and Shioh's wife is named "Sato."

*Note: As this is a DeepL translation, it is not certain how the names of Gomar and Shioh's wives (スリー, サトー) are supposed to be spelled.*

On the planet Huckmine, the Furikake people are taught to always act in pairs. Gomar is not athletically gifted but very smart, while Shioh is a tall creature who depends on Gomar’s decisions. born and do everything together.

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

Gomar and Shioh appeared in Chapter 3 of the F-Zero GX Story Mode within the Bet & Race Dollars bar. They also appeared in the Chapter 7 F-Zero Grand Prix.

#### **Best Buddies Gomar and Shioh**

Upon beating any Grand Prix on Master mode with the Twin Noritta, it will unlock a special video for Gomar & Shioh, which also features their theme song.

A clock rings, showing two miniature versions of Gomar and Shioh, as opposed to a bird, coming out of the clock. The duo then rise from their bed, waking up and walking down the hall of their home. They brush their teeth together, have breakfast and drink coffee. They eventually end up hurriedly heading into the same bathroom stall, sitting together and dancing as the door closes on them.

## Trivia

* Gomar and Shioh's names are food puns, much like their species name and their machine. Gomashio (or Gomasio) and Furikake are Japanese dry condiments. The Twin Noritta may be a pun on Nori seaweed.
