History
F-Zero Farukon Densetsu (Anime)
2202
Gomar & Shioh are a duo of aliens who do everything together, even speaking in unison.[1] Hailing from the planet Huckmine (pronounced "Huck-Mine," Hackmine is its JP version), they were wanted criminals for their crimes of fraud throughout the galaxy.[1]
Upon arriving on Earth during Lap 19, the two declared their dream of becoming the best villain in the entire galaxy. They concluded that the first step to their goal would be to join their idol, Black Shadow, as Dark Million subordinates.[1] However, they realized they needed money for an F-Zero machine of their own, and resorted to scamming people, notably Lucy Liberty of the Elite Mobile Task Force.[1]
As Lucy caught onto their schemes, she stumbled upon Gomar & Shioh trying to build the Twin Noritta.[1] Lucy was easily swayed by a presumably false tragic backstory that the scam duo provided, and decided to help them with the design, not knowing of their ulterior motives.[1]
During the race, they had done fairly well until they forgot that they could only use the booster a limited amount of times, as said so by Lucy.[1] Post-race, Gomar & Shioh were arrested by the Galaxy Police, but Lucy arrived to say goodbye.[1] She also suggested that they come back as reformed F-Zero pilots and that she'd repair the Twin Norrita, to which they thanked her for all she had done for them before being hauled off to jail.[1]
F-Zero GP Legend (GBA game)
In the F-Zero GP Legend GBA game, Gomar & Shioh are playable characters with their machine, the Twin Noritta. They are not featured in the story mode, though Twin Norrita appears as a generic opponent in several missions.

よって彼らのエントリーは２人で１人のあつかいになる。 マシンも２人乗りでぜつみょうなコンビネーションでマシンを操作する。 |
| Gomar & Shioh (English Translation): The Furikakeru people are known to pick a life partner that they stay with from birth until death, acting as if they are one. Because of this, Gomar & Shioh enter the F-Zero races as one competitor. The two-seated machine allows both pilots to operate the machine in tandem. | |
Note: Furikakeru is the full version of its English localization counterpart, Furikake.

Trivia
- Unlike their Mainverse counterparts, Animeverse Gomar & Shioh speak in unison, as opposed to finishing one another's sentences.
- It would seem that their (Animeverse) Furikake origin was not mentioned in the anime, as Jody only mentions their planet name during Lap 19. However, F-Zero Climax brings up their species name in their pilot profile.
- It should also be noted that the JP version of Furikake is "Furikakeru."
- The Twin Norrita cameos in various episodes, though Gomar & Shioh never appear again in person, before or after this lap.
