The Blue Falcon
If you like racing games, chances are, you have already played Nintendo’s F-Zero X. But do you know that this racing game has its own anime series? And one of the characters in the game you can see in action in this animated series is Captain Falcon.
Captain Falcon is one good race driver who is also a bounty hunter. Because of this profession, the captain has made a lot of enemies. To protect himself from these threats to his safety, he lives on a chain of islands off the coast of Port Town. This is his sanctuary and it is where he spends most of his time. He is the best bounty hunter in the series and he is also one of the best racers around. To keep his driving skill sharp, he has race tracks on each of his islands where he practices.
His car is the Blue Falcon. According to Wikipedia: “Captain Falcon races in an F-Zero machine named the Blue Falcon. This racer is one of the most well-rounded vehicles in the racing tour… During an interview with Mr. Zero, the race announcer, in F-Zero GX Captain Falcon commented that if he wins the Grand Prix, he will use the prize money to build a new machine called the ‘Neo Blue Falcon’.”
Apart from the Blue Falcon, Captain falcon also owns another vehicle which is the Falcon Flyer which is the captain’s vehicle of choice when he is on bounty hunter mode. According to Wikipedia: “Captain Falcon has another vehicle, called the Falcon Flyer. This is a speedy, mid-sized star cruiser boasting an on-board computer. The on-board computer means that the ship can be controlled remotely. The Falcon Flyer is mainly used to prowl the galaxy in search of criminals.”
