Pilot Card

Jump to navigationJump to search
A Pilot Card, sometimes stylized as PILOT CARD, is a customizable feature in F-Zero 99. It is entered through the Workshop. Racers are able to create custom banners to be displayed during races and towards other racers. Pilot cards bear a resemblance to the Splashtags system in the Splatoon series.
Each Pilot card is comprised of three components: The Backdrop, Badges, and Borders. Racers unlock more options for customization after completing certain criteria, like winning enough races or knocking out a set number of players. A majority are earned from Lucky Ranks. Furthermore, the player's active Machine, rank, and username is added automatically.
