Samurai Goroh made his first appearance in ''[[F-Zero]]''. He drives an F-Zero machine called "Fire Stingray". He later appears in ''[[F-Zero X]]'' driving the same machine. In ''F-Zero X'', the tracks are suspended above ground which allows players to fall and lose the race. It is also possible to knock other players off the track. As stated before, ''Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s opening features Samurai Goroh racing against Captain Falcon. The two start ramming each other until Captain Falcon is able to knock Samurai Goroh off the track, which may be a reference to being able to knock other people off the tracks in ''F-Zero X''. Samurai Goroh driving the Fire Stingray is also retained.

The ''F-Zero'' instruction manual had an eight paged comic book that goes over Captain Falcon's first bounty hunt. Samurai Goroh is in the comic as Captain Falcon's rival. In the comic, Captain Falcon shoots a criminal and was about to turn him in. Samurai Goroh shows up to try to stop him with his katana; however, Captain Falcon is able to get away with his Falcon Flyer. Samurai Goroh also appeared in ''[[F-Zero GX]]'' where he challenges Captain Falcon to a race. In the cutscene that the two meet, Samurai Goroh is holding a katana.

Article on F-Zero Wiki Samurai Goroh

Samurai Goroh (サムライ ゴロー, Samurai Goroh), is a rival racer to Captain Falcon in the F-Zero series of futuristic Nintendo racing games. He has featured as a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and more recently he has appeared as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Samurai Goroh was the first F-Zero franchise update on the DOJO!!; when first revealed, his name was spelled without an "H" (Samurai Goro), but this was changed the following day.

Origin[edit]

[1]
Samurai Goroh as he appeared in the F-Zero manual with his katana.

Samurai Goroh made his first appearance in F-Zero. He drives an F-Zero machine called "Fire Stingray". He later appears in F-Zero X driving the same machine. In F-Zero X, the tracks are suspended above ground which allows players to fall and lose the race, and it is also possible to knock other players off the track. As a possible reference to this, Melee's opening features Samurai Goroh racing against Captain Falcon in their respective machines, with the two ramming each other until Captain Falcon is able to knock Samurai Goroh off the track.

The F-Zero instruction manual had an eight paged comic book that goes over Captain Falcon's first bounty hunt. Samurai Goroh is in the comic as Captain Falcon's rival. In the comic, Captain Falcon shoots a criminal and was about to turn him in. Samurai Goroh shows up to try to stop him with his katana in order to claim the bounty for himself, since the criminal was apprehended in Red Canyon, which Goroh considers his turf; however, Captain Falcon is able to get away with his Falcon Flyer, leaving Goroh to swear revenge at the upcoming F-Zero race in Mute City. Samurai Goroh also appeared in F-Zero GX, in whose story mode he challenges Captain Falcon to a race after the latter tried to pass through Red Canyon. In the cutscene in which the two meet, Samurai Goroh is wielding a katana. In Brawl, SSB4, and Ultimate, Samurai Goroh appears as an Assist Trophy, and when summoned, he will use his katana to slash at enemy players.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Samurai Goroh appears in the Super Smash Bros. Melee opening FMV in a heated two-way race with Captain Falcon ramming their respective racing machines into each other on the Mute City track, but the Blue Falcon is able to send the Fire Stingray flying off the track and crashing into the camera. Samurai Goroh also appears as a collectible trophy along with his racing machine, the Fire Stingray, which is also seen in the two F-Zero-themed stages in the game.

Trophy[edit]

Samurai Goroh features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches, though it only appears once 200 VS matches have been played. It depicts both Goroh and his racing machine, the Fire Stingray.

He also goes head-to-head with Falcon in F-Zero races, so the threads of their fates seem to be deeply intertwined.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

As an Assist Trophy[edit]

Samurai Goroh slices Mario and Fox with his sword in Brawl

Samurai Goroh makes his gameplay debut as a computer-controlled Assist character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of the many secondary Nintendo characters that can appear from the Assist Trophy item in battle. When released, he does a loud battle cry before running around the stage, wildly swinging his katana. His slashes will continue so long as he is moving or jumping, allowing him to trap enemies in a flurry of hits before sending them away.

Trophy[edit]

Brawl's game data reveals that Goroh has an unused second trophy (an unfinished version of his Melee trophy), featuring him and his F-Zero Machine, the Fire Stingray.
