White Land made its first 2 appearances during the Queen League competition. Tinsel raced in both, but the 50-ft. gap in the second track almost had her dead! She suffered from the wreckage as well as hypothermia. And while she was still qualified to participate in the King League, she refused the offer. Since then, she had been on hiatus from F-Zero racing for 12 long years, till the GX competition.
Since then, she always dreaded on going back, even back to its world, Planet Alcatrand. There were a few close calls as she revisited near its location, such as chasing after Jody and Rick as they were being ambushed by Zoda at the abandoned prison, or when she and Leon followed an SOS signal then being ambushed by Miss Killer and a brainwashed Rick!! Leon fought him back after outmaneuvering the leading lady, and Tinsel knocked some sense into the detective. He soon led them out, highlighting the events that led to the Task Force's captor.
After Rick accepted the mantle from the late Douglas Jay Falcon, he insisted for Tinsel to face her worst fear! The 50-ft. gap!! Remembering James McCloud's technique on taking longer jumps, she was able to finally cross it with no incident!! She couldn't thank Rick enough for his support! Then, they saw a dazzling comet sail across the sky, and he named it the Tinsel Dragon!
The incident in White Land II on being unable to cross the large gap became a plot point to Ikran's OC; she never had the manual/comic when she first encountered the original game, just the cartridge! So, she never found out about that secret on holding down the D-Pad till she saw that technique in F-Zero GP Legend.
