PJ

PJ is a taxi driver known for his skillful, though law-breaking driving. He only appears as an unlockable pilot at the final chapter on Very Hard Mode in GX's Story Mode, as well as AX.

Biography[]

One of the best cabbies in the galaxy; PJ worked for Galaxy Cab, a taxi service that travels from planet to planet all over the universe. He was the highest fare earner of them all and was noted for his skilled driving that never followed traffic laws. As a result, he often would get involved in high-speed chases with the Galactic Federation Police, but he always managed to elude them. He always considered his worst passengers to be drunks or couples who could not get their hands off each other.

Due to being the best cabbie in the company, he got into a fight when he demanded an increase in wages (as well as a larger taxi to accommodate passengers up to 30' tall). He ended up getting suspended from his job, leaving him without an income or anything for his taxi to do. However, when he spotted an article about the F-Zero Grand Prix, he decided to retool his taxi cab into an F-Zero machine and enter the race. Despite his suspension, he still races for the company to the extent of advertising their services and wearing his cabbie uniform.

Ikran's F-Zero timeline[]

He was first seen as a poor soul washing Rick's Dragon Bird's windshield, asking for cash. He only had a debit card on him, then Tinsel had an idea. He offered the alien to visit the Falcon House for a bite, and he introduced himself he's from the Empyrean Colony. They saw thru a newsbreak that over half the Colony was destroyed by a train bomb wired by robo-terrorists and one of the three human girls was obliterated in it! Without a home and his job for the Galaxy Cab, the couple offered him a new place at a portion of the Falcon House, at Tinsel's former flat. Rick was thrilled he'd be willing to participate in F-Zero. although he'd keep a keen eye on him to make sure he doesn't get into trouble for speeding.

He was then chosen as their chauffeur for their wedding, and use the Groovy Taxi, instead of a limo, to take them to their honeymoon in the Port Town space harbor.

Trivia[]

PJ can be seen in F-Zero GX's story mode in Chapter 3. He is perhaps the only AX character to be seen within the Story Mode of F-Zero GX.
Because F-Zero GX and F-Zero AX were developed in partnership with SEGA, PJ is probably a reference to SEGA's Crazy Taxi series. This makes him the first F-Zero pilot to reference a video game character owned by a 3rd party company. The second pilot to do this is Rick Wheeler.
PJ wears his taxi hat during the races while in the cockpit.
In PJ, the Empyrean Colonist, Ikran had the idea that PJ can be from the Empyrean Colony, a venue in F-Zero Maximum Velocity, due to how similar they look in PJ's color and its sky.
