Design and namesake
Design
The Wild Boar is a large, heavy and rounded racer. Its body is shaped like an oval with downward slopes. In the very front of the car is a triple pane cockpit and a cooling vent on the nose. On the top of the vehicle are four triangular air foils arranged to resemble a mohawk. Close the the rear are exhaust ports with burn marks. In the very back are the engines arranged in a horizontal manner. The machine is primarily orange with white stripes running across the sides.
Name
The Wild Boar is named directly from wild boar, a feral suid.
Correlation
The Wild Boar's rounded design is meant to match that of an actual boar. Other details including the front vent and the mohawk help solidify its resemblance by having them resemble a boar's snout and pointy hair respectively.
Differences between games
When the Wild Boar was introduced in F-Zero X, the canopy was all one window and there were black decals near the front. Artwork from the manual depicted the foremost foil had "Chain" inscribed on it but isn't seen in-game. Moving into F-Zero: GP Legend, the canopy reverted back to its single pane cockpit, the sides of the machine were now wavy matching the same design pattern as the air foils and the engine count increased from two to three arranged in a triangle.
Trivia
- The generic CPU machines in the original F-Zero game resemble the Wild Boar from behind.
