The Queen Meteor is Mrs. Arrow's racing machine since F-Zero X. Like with her husband's ship, the King Meteor, her machine was designed by Professor Hollow. The Queen Meteor was designed around a machine Mrs. Arrow used when she was active in F-Zero racing before she married Super Arrow. Both ships share the same stats, above-average boost and grip with weak body, though the Queen Meteor is heavier.

The King Meteor and Queen Meteor F-Zero machines were both manufactured by Professor Hollow, the man responsible for making the Arrows' reinforced suits and secret weapons. The design of the Queen Meteor is based on a machine Mrs. Arrow used and loved before she married Super Arrow, back when she was very active in the F-Zero competition. The Queen Meteor was build to be extremely easy for her to control. |

Design and namesake
Design
The Queen Meteor is designed with a long and narrow nose and a fairly wide back. The nose is pentagonal shaped with an open vent in the front-end. On top of it is an elevated portion with another vent that has an arrow pointing backward. In the middle of the nose is an arrow-pierced heart that says "King & Queen" underneath. The backend contains the cockpit with a cooling vent right above it and two more vents in front of it with two protrusions off to the sides of the cockpit with exhaust vents. In the way back are the engines arranged vertically. The machine is colored maroon with a light-blue underside.
Name
The Queen Meteor combines the words queen, a female monarch and meteor, a space rock.
Correlation
The queen aspect of Queen Meteor relates to the gender of the driver as well as having to do with Mrs. Arrow being married to Super Arrow while the meteor aspect is reflected on the machine's design resembling a burning meteor that's falling towards a planet's surface.
Differences between games
The Queen Meteor in F-Zero X didn't have the elevated vent on the top of the nose. Starting in F-Zero: GP Legend, the machine changed to pink with white stripes on the bottom and included cooling vents on the protruding sides.
Differences from King Meteor
Compared to the King Meteor, there are protrusions off to the sides of the engines, the arrow is pointing backward, and it has two engines instead of three. Further changes in the Game Boy Advance games include a different coloration and vented protruding sides.
