F-Zero Racer
An F-Zero Racer is a special racing vehicle from the F-Zero series. These hovering vehicles appear as platforms and obstacles in the Big Blue and Mute City stages of Super Smash Bros. Melee. In Mute City, the F-Zero racers will occasionally drive past the battlefield, damaging any players who get hit. However, players are able to jump on hovering platforms to avoid getting hit. In Big Blue, the players actually fight on the F-Zero Racers, in a side-scrolling level. However, if a player falls off a F-Zero Racer or the platforms hovering above them, he or she will hit the race track and be pulled outside the screen very fast, causing the player to lose a life. The F-Zero Racers return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, appearing in the Port Town Aero Dive stage. They have the exact same role as they did in the Mute City stage from Melee, driving past the stage, ramming into players who are standing on the track. Additionally, the Blue Falcon, Captain Falcon's F-Zero Racer, will appear as a Sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Trivia
- Two F-Zero Racers make a cameo in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are models owned by Hinopio and found in his shop in the Barrel Volcano. These models correspond to Blue Falcon (Captain Falcon's racer) and Fire Stingray (Samurai Goroh's vehicle).
- Captain Falcon's F-Zero Racer, the Blue Falcon, is one of the F-Zero Racers found on Mute City and Big Blue. It will even appear when Captain Falcon, the only one who drives the Blue Falcon, is in the battle.

In the year 2560, an association of wealthy space merchants created the F-Zero Grand Prix in an attempt to add some excitement to their opulent lifestyles. The jet-powered racers have no tires, but use G-Diffuser systems to float a foot above the surface. Many believe the F-Zero championship is the highest claim to fame in the galaxy. |
