4	Awesome moments in ''VideoGame/FZero''.
5
6	!!The Video Games
7	* Captain Falcon vs. the lords of all creation. ''FALCON WINS.''
8	* Beating a staff ghost. Especially in ''AX'', where the staff ghosts are all nuts-hard and beating one gets you a physical stamp on your card.
9	* For older fans who played the SNES original:
10	** Red Canyon II in the SNES original can be this. It's a high speed track with the longest (double!) jump in the game as an optional shortcut, and when the game came out in the early 90s, it was just about the greatest feeling of speed a video game had produced up to that point. Keep in mind, most 16-bit era racers didn't even have hills, much less wild loops like 3D F-Zero games.
11	** Fire Field is a one of the game's big surprises due to the track being unavailable in practice mode. The track has its own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejAEx_kWmko rocking sound track]], appropriate difficulty for the game's final track, and the whole Fire Field looks like an imposing, fiery, lava planet. Mastering the track's tight hairpin turns can make you feel like a champion too.
12	* The character videos from GX show off some of the racers' better traits:
13	** Pico polishes up his license to kill at a shooting gallery. [[BlueAndOrangeMorality He properly spares innocent hostage targets]], except for the last one. He walks away after his shot is just an inch away from BoomHeadshot... but the opposite side reveals a silhouette of Black Shadow getting it right in the forehead instead.
14	** Mrs. Arrow actually gets full marks in the bodybuilding competition, the only contestant to do so.
15	** Digi-Boy outwits another driver who plows into him. After goading him into chasing him, he suddenly stops and lets him blow by...where he's promptly given a speeding ticket by Phoenix. He waves at him as he drives off. Even the lyrics from his theme sync up perfectly: "If there's another way for you to break down, it's just to let you go first and make a mistake"
16	* Super Arrow demonstrates why he’s not only a legendary superhero, but a total rock star as well.
17	* In ''GP Legend'', the showdown between Black Shadow and [[TheStarscream his unruly subordinate Zoda]] is pretty awesome no matter which of the two's storylines you're playing. That is, it's awesome for ''[[RootingForTheEmpire Black Shadow]]''.
18	--> '''Black Shadow:''' Incredible... I can't believe you managed to bring Clash back... \
19	'''Zoda:''' Hah ha ha hah... Absolutely no problem for a master like me! I mean, I could beat the Dark Emperor himself! Hah ha ha haah... \
20	'''Black Shadow:''' Zoda...What was that? \
21	''(The Illusion BGM begins to play)'' \
22	'''Zoda:''' I said I'm not taking your orders anymore! [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Dark Emperor this, Dark Emperor that! Let's race, chump!]]
23	** If you're playing as Zoda, just when it thinks he's won and he opens the cockpit of the Black Bull...it turns out Black Shadow switched out with Octoman! Zoda much later [[LaserGuidedKarma gets his just desserts]] when Black Shadow rigs his machine to break down.
24	---> '''Black Shadow:''' [[YouFool Fool]]...Zoda, you must know...you are close to death. ''(taking Zoda into his arms)'' Whether you live or die is entirely up to you!
25	** If you're playing as Black Shadow, your goal isn't just to defeat Zoda, but to ''destroy his vehicle''. Afterwards you get a cutscene where a very ''furious'' Black Shadow tells Zoda that no one ever, ''ever'' betrays him and gets away with it.
26	---> '''Black Shadow:''' What's wrong, Zoda? Finished yet? \
27	'''Zoda:''' Argh! Why...Why you... \
28	''(As Black Shadow moves his machine in...)'' \
29	'''Black Shadow:''' Zoda, you wretch! How dare you stand up to me?!?...Ever. EVER! \
30	'''Zoda:''' AAAARGH!!! \
31	''(A strike can be heard.)'' \
32	'''Black Shadow:''' I'm afraid you must be punished. You'll have to pledge an eternal oath to me now!!!

34	!!The Anime
35	* [[SignatureScene Say it with us now]]: ''[[MegatonPunch FALCOOOONNNNNN]]'' '''''[[HeroicSacrifice PUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNCHHH]]!!!!!!!''''' To clarify, Captain Falcon is flying at universe-sundering speeds head on towards the BigBad, Black Shadow. He sacrifices himself by popping the cockpit and using the momentum to unleash his memetic punch right into Black Shadow's face... And the force destroys ''1/8 of the galaxy.'' It was at that precise moment that Captain Falcon was forever immortalized as one of the most badass video game characters of all time.
36	** And right before that, Captain Falcon solidifies his [[TheDeterminator unbreakable will and courage]] by verbally taking immense pleasure in finally putting a stop to Black Shadow's tyranny.
37	--->'''Captain Falcon:''' Black Shadow! Looks like we are destined for Hell together!
