Samurai Goroh: Difference between revisions

|lastappearance=''{{iw|fzerowiki|F-Zero 99}}'' (2023)

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.
