Heartwarming moments in F-Zero.
- Several in the anime, but most notably the Grand Finale, where Rick/Ryu finally pops the question to Misaki.
- This line, before Captain Falcon does his Falcon Punch:"The name Falcon is inherited to those who surpassed the Falcon. Ryu Suzaku! From now on, you are Captain Falcon!"
- Leon's entire motivation is this, even if his mediocre machine makes it hard to discover. Most character interviews range from comical to absurd, but his mostly comes back to the children he's racing for, being the head of an orphanage. He even coaches soccer for them, and wants to use some of the prize money to build a new field.''"Tonight we eat like lords, kids! I'm on my way."
- Dai Goroh's sheer admiration of his father counts as this.
- Helping any pilot who's racing for a sympathetic reason achieve their goals can count as this:
- If Octoman wins, he secures his children's future and helps out his beleagured home planet;
- If Leon wins, he brings the children he cares for joy and helps make their lives a little easier;
- If Silver Neelsen wins, he finally achieves his dream of winning the Grand Prix after decades of trying. He immediately declares that he's going to defend his title, since he and the Night Thunder have a lot of life left in them.
