The Galaxy Runner is a spacecraft piloted by Jody Summer. It's briefly seen in the F-Zero anime, but it does make a major appearance during the finale. She uses it whenever the Elite Mobile Task Force reaches their destination if a planet doesn't happen to have a warp gate such as Forno or Dark Million's turf, Dark Star.
It's a special ship next to the Falcon Flyer, Excellent Queen, and the Fire Needle as it also has a spacious bridge for the Task Force and advanced technology. It also comes equipped with weapons as well and has a docking bay for several of their machines. Clank Hughes often operates the motherboard aside from Jody, John Tanaka, or Dr. Clash.
In the fandub, F-Zero Overdrive, there was its Mobile Task Force AI named Kumiko, based on the pilot of the same name in F-Zero Maximum Velocity.
Ikran's F-Zero timeline[]
The Galaxy Runner hasn't been seen often; usually the Task Force uses it as transport if there happens to be no Warp Gate, such as Planet Forno. It did, however, made a major appearance later in Ending it All, when Jody got her normal self back from Dark Million's thrall as the heroes infiltrated Dark Star to save Tinsel and the universe! It was aided by the Falcon Flyer as well as the Duelists, Yami and Joey, while they drew out their Trap Cards and some mechanical/Dark Monsters to survive in space and help in the fight! It was unable to breach it, unlike the Falcon Flyer since it had machines with the remaining Light Reactor Mights. Until the secret lab was destroyed, disabling the forcefield. It made it out safely as the evil lari was obliterated within its Core.
The Runner made some minor appearances, such as the mission at Planet Giant during the Power of the Falcon.
