Mighty Gazelle (known as MM Gazelle in Japan) is a cyborg F-Zero pilot who made his debut in F-Zero X. He is a human turned cyborg who participates in the F-Zero Grand Prix.

Biography[]

Mighty Gazelle was one of the many injured pilots in an accident three years before the events of F-Zero X. Though no one had died, Gazelle suffered the worst and had to be revived as a cyborg.

However, despite Gazelle's near death experience, he joined the brand new F-Zero X Grand Prix, against the wishes of those who protested against his entry.

His participation has caused many protests, possibly due to the unfair advantage his mechanical parts give him. Despite his increased skills as a cyborg and his upgraded machine known as the Red Gazelle, he still lost to Captain Falcon in F-Zero X, as the GX manual states that Falcon was the winner of that Grand Prix.

Living only for F-Zero, he ignores the complaints of those who oppose his race participation -- no protest would make him skip a race. Because he is a cyborg, he has been able to polish his racing skills without fear of death. Through analysis of his past races, he has fine-tuned all of his reflex-related components.

Gazelle is also revealed to have a non-cyborg girlfriend in his GX interviews, but it is not known what she looks like or if she is even human. Additionally, Gazelle also reveals that he does disaster rescue when he isn't racing.

Appearance[]

His original F-Zero X appearance is comprised of an entire silver/chrome metallic body with small red, yellow, or blue patches and visible black tubes and an antenna on his left ear region (perhaps a communication or informational relay device of sorts).

His F-Zero GX appearance redesigns parts of his body, being considered "an upgrade" to his previous body. His shoulder joints are now surrounded by two large circular "wheels". His golden hand bases are now panted red, resembling fingerless gloves. His newer polished model has little to no visible tubes at all.

His theme song uses technological instrumental music fitting to his appearance.

The victim of a serious accident three years ago that caused the cancellation of the "F-ZERO Grand Prix". Miraculously, he survived the accident, but his body was almost completely destroyed and he became a cyborg.

Japanese profile (translated)
He was the pilot most affected by the major incident that forced the temporary cancellation of the "F-ZERO Grand Prix" four years ago. Miraculously, he survived and was revived as a cyborg with most of his body mechanized. His purpose in life is to continue to run in "F-ZERO," and he entered this year's race as he did last time, overcoming the opposition of those around him. Now that he is a cyborg, his death-defying driving has been refined. He has also upgraded all units related to his reflexes based on the lessons learned from the last race.

Trivia[]

  • His Japanese name can be seen engraved on his backside on his F-Zero GX model in all regions.
  • Gazelle's human face resembles one of the racers that appears among the crowd in the manual of the first game.
  • Gazelle was one of the few F-Zero X characters with extensive redesigns for F-Zero GX, which swapped the locations of many of his parts around, most conspicuously moving the tires built into his biceps to over his shoulders.
  • Gazelle demonstrates the ability to transform in his F-Zero GX profile ending. Despite his impressive mechanical figure, Gazelle transforms into a demonstrably wimpy-looking scooter, which slowly putters away afterwards.
    • His transformation ability is a possible nod to the Transformers series.
  • Mighty Gazelle bears a strong resemblance to Turbo Man from Mega Man 7 (a game that appeared on a SNES console). Both characters also display the ability to transform into a motorized vehicle.
  • Coincidentally, Mighty Gazelle and Captain Falcon share the same age.
