Fire Stingray
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Samurai Goroh's F-Zero machine is called the Fire Stingray, an extremely small craft with only one fin sporting a pinkish color with fire painted on the back of the ship. As described in the original F-Zero game, careful and perfectly timed use of the super jet (boost) is the key operating this machine. Also, the Fire Stingray has the highest max speed and is also the heaviest out of the four original machines. Its extremely strong body crams everything as compactly as possible. Due to its excessive body weight the Stingray has poor acceleration. The two engines the Fire Stingray is powered by are considered the "pride of the Universe".[1] Due to this raw power, it has a dangerously high maximum speed, making it a top-ranked contender. When racing this machine, pilots should make good use of boost power and try to control the machine while maintaining its high speed. The Fire Stingray has a reputation of cornering stability.[1] The machine's weak boosters are made up for by a very good grip, allowing Goroh to effortlessly negotiate corners.[2]

NTSC-U: This pink machine isn't quite what you'd expect an intergalactic-bandit gang leader to drive, but Samurai Goroh does it. What a clash of styles. He holds a grudge against Captain Falcon—perhaps he's a bit jealous of the Captain's good looks? PAL: Samurai Goroh leads a group of space bandits, so the fact that his Fire Stingray is hot pink might be a little...unexpected. He also shares a rivalry with bounty hunter Captain Falcon that borders on overzealous. Maybe Goroh doesn't like playing second fiddle to Captain Falcon's leading man? Or maybe he's secretly a fan. Who knows? |
