## History

### **Before F-Zero GX**

On her path to becoming the queen of the Desert Kingdom, Princia and her servants ran off on a trip around the galaxy. After seeing a race on Earth, she decided to become an F-Zero pilot. Her servants, unable to persuade the princess to change her mind, proceeded to design an F-Zero machine (the Spark Moon) that would convey the technological and scientific prowess of the planet Magica. They also included a safety mechanism to keep her safe during races.

### **F-Zero GX**

Princia then entered the F-Zero GX Grand Prix. However, Princia and the other AX pilots do not make an appearance during the Chapter 7 F-Zero GX Grand Prix in the Story Mode.

Princia Ramode is the princess of the Desert Kingdom on the planet Magica, a society with highly advanced scientific knowledge. Her characteristic curiosity often leads her into mischief and often gets her into dangerous predicaments.
In order to increase her wisdom and life experience before becoming queen, she secretly ran off with her servants on an adventure to a host of other planets. When she arrived on Earth, she happened to catch a glimpse of an F-ZERO Grand Prix and whimsically decided that she, too, wanted to race.
Knowing that no amount of persuasion will budge her once she sets her mind on something, her servants were left with no choice but to prepare a machine that fully utilized the scientific technology of Magica.

 **DeepL Translation:** She is the princess of the Desert Kingdom on the planet Magical, where science is extremely advanced, but her curiosity always gets her in trouble. She was on a roaming tour of the galaxy with her retainers, to gain knowledge and experience in order to become the queen. However, when they stopped on Earth, she watched an F-Zero Grand Prix and expressed her selfish desire to participate in the race too. Her retainers are well aware of the fact that if Princia says she wants something, there’s no way to convince her out of it. Thus, they had no choice but to prepare an F-Zero machine for Princia, which uses the culmination of the best of Magical's science and technology.

#### **My Princia, Mandala Dance**

Upon beating any Grand Prix on Master mode with the Spark Moon, it will unlock a special video for Princia Ramode, which also features her theme song.

In Princia's video, she performs a dance. Despite being only 16 years old, the dance is oddly provocative in nature. The camera angles also tend to focus on certain parts of Princia's body, with a flashy background. Princia is also notably more lighter in her skin tone in the video, when compared to her in-game model. The video ends with Princia winking and smiling at the camera.

### **F-Zero AX**

Instead of having to unlock her like in F-Zero GX, Princia is an available pilot from the start in F-Zero AX, along with 9 other AX pilots and the original 4 pilots who debuted in the SNES F-Zero game.

## Trivia

* Despite the fact that Princia Ramode and Lily Flyer are both minors (ages 16 and 14, respectively as of F-Zero GX), the two are somewhat sexualized in their designs and F-Zero GX Master Pilot videos.
	+ Princia's GX theme song also contains lyrics with sexual undertones.
		- "Enchanted night for you to be lost with me, hypnotized. Illusions passing through your mind."
		- "Give me your hand and let me please you through the night."
		- "Give me your hand and I will dominate your mind."
	+ During her GX Master Pilot video, she performs her Mandala Dance, but the camera angles focus on *very specific parts of her body.*
* While she states the "Royal Research Institute" made the Spark Moon in a GX interview, the designer is credited as "Desert Kingdom Science Technology Development Department" in the Nintendo Power F-Zero GX Player's Guide. In the F-Zero GX Complete Guide, the name can be translated as "Desert Kingdom Scientific Tech Board Development Agency."
* Apparently, Princia and the Desert Kingdom are food based puns.
	+ The "プリン" (Purin) part of her name "プリンシア" (Pu-ri-n-shi-a) means "pudding" in Japanese.
	+ Pudding is a type of dessert. While she is of the "DESERT" kingdom, both "dessert" and "desert" are pronounced the same way, despite having different meanings.
* Princia and the AX pilots do not appear in the F-Zero GX Story Mode nor the F-Zero GX Grand Prix in Chapter 7, with the exception of PJ who makes a cameo in Chapter 3.
