Plot Elements

 * Twenty years ago, a boy witnesses his father, an F-Zero pilot lose his life in the F-Zero Grand Prix.
 * The boy vows to avenge his father and receives combat training from an elderly master who can channel "fire" in his moves; the boy is unable to channel the "fire", so the master gives him some advice: "Fire cannot be lit by force".
 * In the present, the boy has grown up and taken the mantle of Captain Falcon, a highly skilled F-Zero pilot and bounty hunter; despite this, he has yet to win an F-Zero Grand Prix or channel the "fire".
 * Samurai Goroh is an arrogant rival bounty hunter and F-Zero pilot to Captain Falcon, always ending up behind him in each Grand Prix.
 * Falcon also remains in occasional contact with Jody Summer, the spokesperson for the Milky Way Federation who not only has not won any F-Zero Grand Prix as well but hasn't even been able to cross the finish line.
 * At the F-Zero Grand Prix, all races are eliminated—except Jody, Goroh, and Falcon.
 * Falcon manages to take the lead in the last stretch, but just before he can cross the finish line, Goroh, in the desperate attempt to not come behind him again, attempt to make a mad dash, destroying Jody's White Cat and trapping Summer under a bunch of rubble. Seeing this, Falcon stops just before the finish line and goes back to help Jody, causing Goroh to win.
 * Falcon desperately tries to knock the rubble off, but it is too strong. Then, remembering the advice of his master ("Fire cannot be lit by force"), Falcon takes him master advice and finally channel the "fire" to knock the rubble off; Falcon would later dub this the "Falcon Punch".
 * Falcon helps Jody back into her machine, then pushes it across the finish line, thus allowing Jody to finally "cross the finish line".
 * At the award ceremony, the angered crowd and media condemn Goroh's victory but praise Falcon's sportsmanship.
