Port Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Port Town is a fictional city in the F-Zero series and is rightfully called the "prosperous hub of civilization and affluence". It is famously known as an intergalactic trades center and the home of bounty hunter and F-ZERO racer, Captain Falcon, who lives off the coast on a chain of islands. Port Towns' architecture is marked by towering skyscrapers, pyramid-shaped office buildings and is bordered by mountains. A giant construction robot that looks like R.O.B. in Famicom colors can be seen in the background on top of two buildings in F-Zero GX.

The 26th century is dominated by intense competition between planets for profitable interstellar trade. Due to this competition, other planets have invested huge fortunes in the creation of massive space harbors to increase traffic; Earth's answer to this resulted in the creation of the Port Town space harbor. The Port Town space harbor has been built with the newest technological and aesthetic refinements in mind. This multilayered structure is centered around a massive structure towering three miles above the ground and is the largest space harbor in the universe. ^[1] In F-Zero GX underneath where the ships come in the space harbor, there are hotels called the Port Town Pacific Hotel. The name can be seen multiple times on the circuit "Aero Drive".
