F-Zero GP Legend (F-ZERO ファルコン伝説, F-ZERO Farukon Densetsu?) is a reboot anime series based on Nintendo's F-Zero franchise. The anime airs on TV Tokyo in Japan. In North America, the anime, licensed by 4Kids Entertainment, aired for a short while on the FoxBox, now called 4Kids TV.
There are a total of 51 episodes. Even though the title, "F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu", is translated as F-Zero: Falcon Traditions or F-Zero: Legend of Falcon, Captain Falcon is not the main character. The anime stars Rick Wheeler (Ryu Suzaku in the original Japanese version). Rick was frozen for 150 years after a fatal car accident. He is brought back to life by Jody Summer and Dr. Stewart, who work with a group of good racers who try to keep prize money out of the hands of unsavory people like the Dark Million Organization run by Black Shadow and Deathborn.
