* AlwaysSecondBest: Jack is generally regarded as the "backup" of the team, something he does not take kindly to. It's implied that prior to Ryu joining the team, Jack was considered their best racer (although comments by Jody imply this might be more his own ego than fact). Even after Ryu and Jack bond as friends, Jack is frequently second-place to Ryu's first-place victories, which leaves him very bitter and frustrated.

* StealthPun: Her machine is called the Panzer Emerald. With the revelation that she's Antonio Guster's sister, it ties in neatly with his own Green Panther- Emerald and Green are an obvious link, but there's also the way that Panzer and Panther are similar words.



* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the anime, Guster is Goroh's [[ObnoxiousInLaws brother in law]].

* HeroicSpirit: Often tries to invoke this, but it more often than not only results in him getting horribly hurt or embarrassed.
* HeroicWillpower: Regardless of his horrible ineffectiveness as a superhero and how often he ends up getting in over his head, it can't be denied he'll always go down doing his best to do what's right.



* RobotBuddy: Speed Bird, who also serves as PluckyComicRelief.

to:

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: There is not one single thing in the world more precious to Super Arrow than his wife Mrs. Arrow, whom he almost exclusively refers to as "Honey". If she is ever in danger, absolutely nothing will get in his way of rescuing her, regardless of the danger or risks involved.
* RobotBuddy: Speed Bird, who also serves as PluckyComicRelief. Despite his role, he's quite vocal about his distaste for the Arrows and their antics, especially Mrs. Arrow, who he considers a "horrible wife".
* SuperZeroes: Unlike his video game counterpart, Super Arrow has no actual superpowers.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Similar to her husband, Mrs. Arrow is fanatically devoted to her husband (as opposed to the games where she is both more sensible and rather dominering towards him) and will abandon all common sense should it conflict with her confidence in him.

* RomanticRibbing: Despite their marriage, Lisa is explicitly ''not' a member of Goroh's gang, instead being a thief in her own right. This often puts them at objective odds with each other, and neither pulls any punches, although the show also shows that despite this they still very much love and are dedicated to each other.

The ''F-Zero: Legend of Falcon'' (or ''F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu'' if you prefer) subseries is peculiar. It contains [[RecursiveAdaptation an anime and two games]], serving as an {{alternate continuity}} to the ''F-Zero'' series taking place in the 23rd century rather than the 26th and beyond. The anime and the first game are both called ''Falcon Densetsu/GP Legend''. We'll refer to the anime as ''(The) Legend of Falcon'' and the first game as ''GP Legend'' on this page.

Whilst they never appear again in person, their Twin Norrita vehicle, appears again in several later episodes, implying they kept their word.
