Billy

A Space Monkey's Evolved Offspring
Billy
Species	Human
Debut	F-Zero X

Billy is a pilot in the F-Zero series. He is a simian racer who is out to prove his kind are the superior species.

Background

Although he is the first monkey to enter the F-Zero entry, this is actually a misnomer. He is actually of a simian race indigenous to the planet Odyapes. In addition to that, his name is not actually Billy but "Eeeach Koo-koo-koo Yia", which is rather difficult to pronounce by most. Despite only being seven years old, his species only lives to be 16, making him older than he actually seems. He's enthusiastic and gets along well with his other pilots, but harbors resentment against those that make fun of his running.

One of his ancestors was the first monkey (of his species) to enter space and was a trained rocket pilot. His species seems to not be specially intelligent, since he himself was trained in a laboratory in linguistic skills and eventually to enter the F-Zero races. He's since competed for two years, though he has yet to win the Grand Prix.

Mad Wolf

• Number: 11
• Creator: Space Dynamics
• Engine: CY95-F5x1
• Weight: 1490kg
• Body: B
• Boost: B
• Grip: C

The Mad Wolf was specially designed for a monkey to operate, due to Billy's limited written-language skills. The navigation is guided by the use of pictures, colors, sights, and smells. For instance, in tracks where speed is appropriate, the scent of bananas are emitted in the cockpit to cause him to press the accelerator. The ship is otherwise well-balanced, although the grip is rather weak.
