Mr. EAD GX-AX Icon Pilot Quotes Machine Great Star GX-AX Icon


This machine was designed by Shiggs Mapone, rumored to be the head of a mysterious underground development group known as EAD. Mapone took on the design of the Great Star with visions of it achieving F-Zero Grand Prix championship status. Mapone neglected stability when designing this machine, but added a very strong booster--he likely did this because he knew the pilot manning the machine would be a flawless android.
