What would happen in the hypothetical situation an F-Zero racer was present at the start of a Grand Prix but then fell ill (or was otherwise unable to participate for unforeseen circumstances) before it was over? Surely someone would have to sub in? Thing is I don’t think everyone in F-Zero has someone who could sub in for them (I mean I headcanon Falcon is friends with the Mewtwo from Smash who would absolutely be able to work out Falcon isn’t fit to race, teleport in, grab the Blue Falcon and understand how to drive it all thanks to its psychic abilities but I don’t think anyone else who seems to be a loner has anyone like that. Phoenix and QQQ are probably off the worst because chances are if one of them is racing they’re both racing and I doubt the rest of the Time Patrol is prepared to turn up in 2571 just to sub in for one of them. Actually scratch what I said about Phoenix and QQQ, the Skull definitely doesn’t have any contacts. He probably doesn’t get ill as easily as everyone else of course but that’s not to say he can’t end up in a situation where he was available to race at the start of a Grand Prix but for whatever reason isn’t available during later races but whatever happened isn’t major enough they have to call the entire Grand Prix off)

#I’d ask this about Wave Race too but at least there everyone seems to have someone they can contact #(ignoring Miles because he’s not in Blue Storm. The three from 1080 can probably call the others from 1080)#although to be fair if Serena suddenly becomes ill it’s likely her boyfriend Luis is also ill #same with Akari and her roommate Kyoko #f-zero #yeah I think I started headcanoning that each race in F-Zero takes place on a different day before I learned that was canon in Wave Race #captain falcon #phoenix #qqq #the skull #of course what I do seem to be forgetting is the fact that there are 30 racers at a time (usually) and 41 racers in GX #(counting Gomar and Shioh as one racer and Dai San and Gen as another racer)#so technically they could just ask one of the non-participating racers to sub in #but at the same time depending on how much emphasis is put on how much they’re just subbing in #(especially if they have to use the unavailable racer’s machine)#chances are there’ll be a strong enough rivalry that it ends in sabotage 99% of the time
