Captain Falcon, Dr. Stewart ... It has been a quarter of a century since they rose to fame as F-Zero racing drivers, and with the passage of time their glory days have faded and only something resembling a legend. The great danger of F-Zero racing caused some to call for an end to them, but now a new generation of drivers has emerged who is willing to continue to write pages in the history of the sport. It is the eternal search for victory, fame and fortune.

Humanity had plunged into a period of relative calm after its great leap into space. Among those recovering from the initial frenzy of space races were the powerful merchants of the time. With experience they found that while great space journeys offered incredible commercial opportunities, with these great distances they also suffered the ravages of piracy. They concluded that they could not bear the cost of being constantly robbed, so they ended up limiting themselves to regulating and defending their territories. His conservative business practices put large numbers of high-level space pilots out of work, resulting in a bold group of men and women who wanted to get rich in the only way possible: as F-Zero pilots.
