Inspired by:

I think most people would be hard pressed to name 3 other characters from the series.


Don't look them up on the web or boot up any of the games - just list all the characters you can name from memory, and post your total here.

(Don't look at my answers until you've posted your own!)

Me: 10 or 11

Captain Falcon
Blood Falcon
Pico
Jody Summer (Sumner?)
Baba
Black Shadow
Dr. Stewart
Samurai Goroh
James McCloud
Mr. EAD
Zoda?

I can picture the Mighty Gazelle but can't name its pilot


I can picture about 5 others but can't for the life of me remember their names.

I only know Captain Falcon. Even looking at that list I don't recognise the other names.

Probs not unusual as I'm terrible at remembering names, though!

This is the sort of thing where my perversely good memory for unimportant nonsense comes to the fore.

Captain Falcon
Blood Falcon
Black Shadow
Deathborn
Dr. Stewart
Mighty Gazelle
Jody Summer
Samurai Goroh
Mr. EAD
Beastman
Octo-Man
Zoda
Billy
Gomar & Shioh
James McCloud
Michael Chain
Dr. Crash
Pico
Super Arrow
Mrs. Arrow
Dai San Gen
Princia (EDIT: forgot her second name)
...Spade?
Silver Nielsen or something like that (EDIT: one letter off I'm having this)


23-24. Looking at the full list though, there are some I wouldn’t have remembered in years.

I've never played the game but I seem to recall it's set in the future with flying cars? Here's my guess:

- Jet Girl
- Sky Dancer
- Diesel
- Missile Man
- Lazer Raver
- Eagle Feather
- Swan Lake
- Mountain High
- Valley Low
- River Wide
- Big Bomber


How did I get on? Anything close?

Captain Falcon
Rick Wheeler
Samurai Goroh
Black Falcon
James McCloud


Then I looked it up and by Black Falcon I was confusing Blood Falcon and Black Shadow. I could picture both but not remember the name for either! But that's about me done.

I'm both impressed by some of the above lists but also amazed no one else has said Rick Wheeler - the other protagonist!

Falco, Slippy, Peppy, Fox ... oh wait those are Star Fox!

Real answer is: None. The only reason I can name Falcon is because it is mentioned in the OP.

I didn't even realise there were characters in the game? I've only really played the SNES game and that just has you picking a car I think.

Cheers! And of course it’s just ‘the Skull’, had the bastard’s X picture floating through my brain the entire time but couldn’t put a name to it. :fp:

Naming Star Fox characters in full would actually get you a point for James McCloud

F-Zero GX is so good. I also enjoyed Maximum Velocity on the GBA. Here are the ones I can remember right now:

Captain Falcon
Samurai Goroh
Black Bull
Dr. Stewart
Pico
Blood Falcon
Jody
James McCloud

...

Lizard... Man?
Something... Phoenix... he flies a red ship
There's a pilot where it's actually twins...


Some of them might be spelled a bit wrong! It's tough, because I used to mostly pick Captain Falcon (Blue Falcon) in GX.

Which game are we talking about? My memory is of GX, so there might be an F-Zero AX character or two in here:

Captain Falcon
Black Shadow
Samurai Goroh
Jody Summer
Michael Chain
Silver Neelsen
Lord Deathborne
Blood Falcon
James McCloud
John Tanaka
Mr EAD
Red Arrow/Captain Arrow(the superhero guy)
Mrs Arrow
Pico
The Skull(I think)
Dr Clash
Octoman
Spade (I remember this idiot because he piloted the laughably named Magic Seagull :lol: )
Beastman
Zoda
Billy
Don Genie
Gomar and Shioh?

There's a guy with blond hair called Jack, or Jody or something like that but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

There are pilots, certainly. Characters may be a little strong in some cases
