The Mad Wolf is a machine piloted by Billy.

Description[]

The Mad Wolf was specially designed for a monkey to operate, due to Billy's limited written-language skills. The navigation is guided by the use of pictures, colors, sights, and smells. For instance, in tracks where speed is appropriate, the scent of bananas are emitted in the cockpit to cause him to press the accelerator. The ship is otherwise well-balanced, although the grip is rather weak. The machine's overall structure and shape resembles a hand of bananas, fitting for the simian pilot.

F-Zero GX Nintendo Power guide
The concept for this project was to design a machine a monkey could operate. Because Billy has limited written-language recognition, the design lab implemented a navigation system that operates with the assistance of pictures, colors, sounds and smells. For instance, in track locations where it is suitable to accelerate quickly, the smell of bananas (Billy's absolute favorite thing) is emitted into the cockpit, thereby exciting him and making him press the accelerator.
F-Zero GX Complete Guidebook (Japanese, translated)
This machine, which was designed to be ridden by monkeys, has a navigation system that uses pictures, colors, sounds, and smells to provide various information to Billy, who has limited literacy skills. For example, when he is allowed to go fast, the smell of bananas, his favorite food, fills the machine, exciting him and making him press harder on the accelerator pedal.
