Originally the Blood Hawk was designed to be identical to the Blue Falcon, but the designers concluded that Blood Falcon would not be able to surpass Captain Falcon in such a race. In order to give him an edge over Falcon, they increased the machine's boost functions, but at the cost of some grip ability. The main engine was designed by the BS Group, but the secondary engine was looted from the Blue Falcon at the time of the accident four years prior to F-Zero GX or three years before F-Zero X.
