Dr. Robert Stewart is a pilot in the F-Zero series and a qualified MD.

Background

His father, Kevin Stewart, was a famous F-Zero pilot and professor who also raced in the #3 Car. Before that his father used to race in the more dangerous underground races before becoming a legit racer. In those times the F-Zero races were a far more bloody affair and as a result, he urged his son, Robert, to instead become a doctor. Robert became an accomplished medical doctor, but soon the race track called him and he became a pilot as well.

Although father and son raced together for some time, Dr. Stewart eventually set out on his own in the underground leagues. Eventually he heard that the #3 racer in one of the F-Zero races had been killed. Although it was not confirmed to be his father, Dr. Stewart was able to eventually confirm that his father had died or had been perhaps murdered. Dr. Stewart subsequently retooled his father's Golden Fox and became a pilot in the F-Zero races as well where he raced against the likes of Captain Falcon, Pico, and Samurai Goroh.

Seven years after his F-Zero career started, the Horrific Grand Finale occurred. In the aftermath he put his skills as a surgeon to use (himself avoiding injury) and thanks to his skills, none of his patients died. When the new F-Zero X races began, he re-entered the Grand Prix, even though the prize went to Captain Falcon. He re-entered the following year aiming to win the prize.

His F-Zero GX movie, Dr. Stewart's Image Training, show's Dr. Stewart in a field dancing. The then starts to fly in the air and a rose frame lines the screen and a rainbow appears. Shortly after, it all disappears and Dr. Stewart falls to the ground in a comedic way.

Golden Fox

• Creator: Kevin Stewart

• Weight: 1420kg
• Body: D

Dr. Stewart's father, Kevin, built the Golden Fox and put all the focus into acceleration. As a result the body is rather weak and it does poorly at corners. However it's high acceleration makes it a potentially powerful machine in the hands of a skilled, refined pilot. The machine was nearly destroyed when its creator, Kevin Stewart, died racing it. The ship has since been rebuilt by Dr. Stewart.
