Rick starts the Grand Prix

Rick Wheeler #3 is Rick Wheeler's third mission of the story in F-Zero: GP Legend. The mission takes place in Fire Field.

Story

Captain Falcon begins by asking more about Rick's past. Rick explains he used to be a detective and was chasing after Zoda a hundred-fifty years ago. The two of them crashed in an unspecified incident and both awoke from a cold sleep in the current era. Afterward, Captain Falcon notes that Zoda will likely be attending the next Grand Prix, to which Rick immediately goes to register for at Fire Field.

Despite winning the Grand Prix race, Rick finds out that Zoda did not attend. While contemplating his next step, Rick gets a call from Jack Levin, who Rick makes fun of by nicknaming him "Margaret", exclaiming that Jody Summer has been abducted. Rick then heads to Port Town to find more information.
