[edit] Don Genie
- Sex: Male
- Age: 65
- Machine Number: 31
Title: Too Fast and Too Fat
Biography: Don Genie is the famous mogul head of the universal traders and of numerous Mafias. He has been arrested several times for secretly trading in energy resources and weapons. Each time he's arrested, he's forced to pay a small fortune in bail to get himself free. At this time, it's unknown whether Don is participating in the F-ZERO races because he wants to publicize his trading company of whether it's just for fun. He doesn’t respect any other racer except for Captain Falcon, whom he says has potential. One thing is for sure, though: it must be related to some sinister gambling ploy he's put together.
Machine Information: In order to flaunt his mega-millions, the ostentatious Don Genie spent a huge amount of money developing top-notch Fat Shark and outfitting it with extraordinary capabilities. Since Don has a great many enemies who would love to take his life, he placed the most emphasis on body durability when designing this machine.

[edit] Terry "Digi-Boy" Getter
- Sex: Male
- Age: 8
- Machine Number: 32
Title: The Genius Kid Who Can Pick the Winners
Biography: Digi-Boy's real name is Terry Getter, he's a young genius currently attending Einstein Academy and has a girlfriend named Sharon. While he's still just a kid, he's been dubbed Digi-Boy because there's no digital device he can't deftly use--he's even invented many of his own. He's also analyzed every past F-ZERO race and has subsequently devised a perfect equation to work with his self-built machine so that he can win the next race. In his dictionary, there is no such word as luck.
Machine Information: It seems that Digiboy, the young man who boasts of being able to predict the outcome of races perfectly, designed his machine extremely efficiently. The body strength is minimal, which matches Digiboy's safe driving technique- he very rarely bumps other racers. It's weight is deceptive, and it is primarily a boost-focused machine. At any rate, since it was built by Digiboy, there's no doubt that it's a top-notch machine.

[edit] Dai San Gen
- Sex: Male/Female/Male
- Age: 64
- Machine Number: 33
Title: Three Tiny Giants
Biography: These triplets come from the planet Shinar who took gymnastics at the National Troupe. The average lifespan of the beings of Shinar is 200 years, extremely long compared to that of earthlings. However, even after reaching adulthood, they remain quite small. Using telepathy, they don't need to speak to communicate. Dai, San and Gen have incredible teamwork skills and an amazing ability to operate their machines as one. Dai takes care of handling, San handles navigation, and Gen handles acceleration and breaking. They are very aggressive drivers.
Machine Information: The Pink Spider was designed by Professor Tsumo, a huge fan of gambling, and uncle to the triplets that pilot the machine. Individual cockpits have been designed for Dai, San, and Gen, and ejection seats have been added to all of them in case of an emergency. Due to the crescent moon-shaped balancers, called "spider legs," that are fixed on both sides of the machine, it has excellent grip capabilities. Strangely, although only Dai steers, all cockpits have steering wheels.

[edit] Spade
- Sex: Male
- Age: Unknown
- Machine Number: 34
Title: The Circus Magician
Biography: Spade is a circus performer and an accomplished magician who wishes he could use magic to double or triple the earnings. His specialty trick is sawing people in half. He has decided to take up racing in order to win enough money to rescue the circus from its financial difficulties. His racing techniques are risky and sometimes amazing, but he is quite fickle and will sometimes drop out of a race suddenly or not run it seriously. As a result, his overall record isn't that great. Nobody, not even his friends at the circus, have seen the face behind Spade's mask.
Machine Information: Spade and his circus buddies built the Magic Seagull during their time off. The flat, streamlined form provides low wind resistance, allowing the boosters to attain full power. Unfortunately, the grip strength is relatively low, and the width of the machine itself make it quite dangerous. Furthermore, it has nothing resembling a door, and if the machine should explode, Spade would go with it.

[edit] Dai Goroh
- Sex: Male
- Age: 10
- Machine Number: 35
Title: The Punk Kid Who'll Try Anything
Biography: Dai Goroh is the only son of Samurai Goroh. He's so bad that even his father can't keep him under control. Dai Goroh is a master swordsman who loves to run riot with his sword whipping through the air and likes to play soccer and baseball. He has immense respect for his father, but pokes fun at his men. Dai Goroh will boast about him regarding any subject. He hopes to earn the praise of his father by defeating Captain Falcon, his father's biggest enemy. As a pilot, he has more attitude and potential than his father, and many are eagerly waiting to see what kind of pilot he grows up to be. His favorite possession is his action figure of his dad.
Machine Information: Dai Goroh didn't want to pilot a machine similar to the Fire Stingray driven by his father, Samurai Goroh, so he chose the Silver Rat. The craft is actually modeled after the Green Panther, the machine driven by one of Goroh's enemies, Antonio Guster. The stats of the Silver Rat might be a nod to a special person in Dai Goroh's life, like Dr. Robert Stewart;It has exceptional boost abilities, but it's grip power suffers as a result. The Silver Rat is slightly smaller than the craft it was modeled after, which makes its body strength slightly less. It therefore requires increased pilot control to avoid contact with other machines during races.

[edit] Princia Ramode
- Sex: Female
- Age: 16
- Machine Number: 36
Title: The Rambunctious Speed Freak Queen
Biography: Princia Ramode is the princess of the Desert Kingdom on the planet Magica, a society with highly advanced scientific knowledge. She has a crush on Samurai Goroh and 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 would 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.
Machine Information: The Spark Moon was developed using the advanced technology of Planet Magica, and it was specifically designed so that even Princia Ramode could post decent results in her first Grand Prix attempt. Ramode has a hard time hiding her machine from her father, the King of Magica. To avoid any risk of damage during the race, the most cutting-edge safety systems were installed. The first artificial intelligence database implemented into the machine was formulated with control-technique data from the most famous F-Zero pilots in history.

[edit] Lily Flyer
- Sex: Female
- Age: 14
- Machine Number: 37
Title: The Innocent Battle Girl
Biography: Lily is affiliated with the reserves of the Galactic Space Forces and has received extensive warfare training, beginning shortly after she was born. She has always received excellent marks in her training classes and has even participated in recent skirmishes as emergency support. However, she wishes to be free from the Galactic Space Federation.
While she sometimes displays the air of a naive little girl (she collects Frog Nic-nacks), she strictly obeys every command of her superior officers and aims to execute all of her responsibilities perfectly, regardless of their nature. Lily has entered the F-Zero competition as part of her training. She hopes to polish her snap decision-making skills under pressure.
Machine Information: The Bunny Flash is the leading next-generation land warship. Its bulky armor and cannon weapons are offset by a cute, round shell that hardly suits a ship of its power. The Bunny Flash has advanced grip and boost capabilities that enable it to corner cavalry forces during actual combat.

[edit] PJ
- Sex: Male
- Age: 35
- Machine Number: 38
Title: The Cabbie That Ignores Traffic Laws
Biography: PJ works as a cabbie for Galaxy Cab, a company whose taxis travel from planet to planet all over the universe. He wants a bigger cab because some of his passengers are too tall and he hates passengers who smooch or are drunk. As the biggest earner at Galaxy Cab, he demanded an increase in wages, which resulted in a fight with the owner of the company and wound up earning him a temporary suspension. PJ then saw an article about the F-Zero races, and it changed his life. He took all of his life savings and transformed his taxi into an F-Zero machine. Can he really take the driving skills that he forged as a taxi driver and use them to win the Grand Prix?
Machine Information: The machine was renovated from an ordinary interplanetary taxi. Even though the cockpit seats four, the Groovy Taxi's grip rating is high, making it very easy to control. However, reckless driving isn't tolerated in the taxi industry, and so naturally the Groovy Taxi lacks superior boost capability. The machine has a meter in it like any other taxi, and calculates the fare for each race when finished. The Groovy Taxi is the only machine with a licence plate:AVD*000125.

[edit] QQQ
- Sex: Unknown
- Age: Unknown
- Machine Number: 39
Title: The Scrap Robot Made of Galactic Garbage
Biography: QQQ was originally designed for landmine detection and disposal. This junk robot that was found buried in a scrap pile in a galactic waste-management facility. It's still unclear why it was discarded there, but it was coincidentally picked from the heap and repaired by a very able space-police detective named Phoenix, and quickly became his partner. For a robot, QQQ's construction is quite obsolete, but it's artificial intelligence is still considered cutting-edge for any age. QQQ is tortured by the knowledge that some very important data lies somewhere in its AI programming. Since the robot was damaged when it was thrown away, its memory cannot currently access it. The truth of the mystery data is this: QQQ was brought from the future by Phoenix and has the necessary navigation hardware to traverse time. However, if its AI is not repaired (thereby restoring its memory), it will never be able to return to the future.
Machine Information: Phoenix constructed the Rolling Turtle from a man-made military satellite that had been discarded in a galactic waste-management facility. He turned the parts into an F-Zero machine so that his partner, QQQ, could man it to provide mission support. QQQ analyzes Captain Falcon’s racing style and uses the data to race. Because it was originally constructed with highly durable parts for military purposes, Phoenix has absolute confidence in the body strength of the Rolling Turtle.

[edit] Phoenix Lestrade
- Sex: M
- Age: 26
- Machine Number: 40
Title: The Time Police's Trump Card
Biography: Phoenix is a time traveler who has come back from the future where F-Zero still exists in some form in his time. His role is that of a space detective dispatched to protect the natural progression of time and history. He came to this era after receiving information that an event in the next F-Zero Grand Prix would change the history of the entire universe. He's now busy in his beloved time machine, the Rainbow Phoenix, trying to stop this event before it occurs.
Machine Information: The Rainbow Phoenix is usually used as an undercover patrol car. It wasn't built by the Galactic Space Police, though--Phoenix designed and built it himself in secret. It's tuned to be a very easy machine for novice pilots to control. Since it's actually a machine from the future made with an unknown advanced technology it has the ability to win the championship easily. Because of this unfair advantage, a limiter has been installed to reduce its capabilities. The Rainbow Phoenix currently runs at only 80 percent of its potential. (Interesting notes: the Rainbow Phoenix's wings spread out in boosts & although on Phoenix's profile page it says who created the Rainbow Phoenix is unknown, on several sites it is shown that Phoenix built the Rainbow Phoenix.)
