"I'm the only one who can control the power of the Blood Hawk!"
— Blood Falcon in F-Zero GX


The Blood Hawk is an F-Zero racing machine owned by the villainous Blood Falcon.

Description[]

Originally the Blood Hawk was designed to be identical to the Blue Falcon, but the designers concluded that Blood Falcon would not be able to surpass Captain Falcon in such a race. In order to give him an edge over Falcon, they increased the machine's boost functions, but at the cost of some grip ability. The main engine was designed by the BS Group, but the secondary engine was looted from the Blue Falcon at the time of the accident four years prior to F-Zero GX / three years before F-Zero X.

The machine's engine is IDed with the initials DS, the same initials used on both the Black Bull and Dark Schneider, two racing machines belonging to Blood Falcon's "partners in crime". These initials are also the initials of the latter Machine, alluding to a connection between the evil threesome's Machines.

At first, the team aimed to achieve the same performance as the Blue Falcon, but they realized that it would be difficult to overtake their nemesis, so they increased the boost performance. As a compensation, its grip was reduced. The main engine was developed by the BS Group Secret Laboratory, and the sub-engine was from the Blue Falcon, which had been stolen in a serious accident four years earlier.

Trivia[]

  • The Blood Hawk is known as the "Hell Hawk" in Japan. The name change is likely due to the censorship of the word "Hell", which was also included in a line spoken by Black Shadow.
  • The Blood Hawk's number 25 is likely a reference to the Blue Falcon's number 07 and how Blood Falcon is a clone of Captain Falcon. (2+5=7)
    • In Super Smash Bros. Melee, an NTSC copy will retain the censored Blood Hawk title if the Japanese language option is selected.
  • The Blood Hawk was the best machine in F-Zero X, yet it is the second worst in F-Zero GX.
  • In the F-Zero X North American instruction manual, the side of the Blood Hawk has the word Falcon painted on it.
