Mr. Zero

Mr. Zero is the official announcer of all F-Zero events. He first appeared in the F-Zero Opening Comic, his first in-game appearance was in F-Zero GX and F-Zero AX (voiced by Jack Merluzzi), but his voice can be heard during the countdown of F-Zero X (voiced by Jim Wornell). In F-Zero GX, Mr. Zero interviews the drivers for questions like his/her motivation for racing, or what he/she thinks of the other characters. Sometimes he will ask for an autograph that will be sorted to a lucky viewer. When in the presence of evil or dangerous drivers, like Black Shadow or Pico, he trembles in fear. In F-Zero (outside the comic) and F-Zero Maximum Velocity, Mr. Zero is replaced by a robotic announcer. It is unknown why he doesn't announce the races himself in F-Zero, as he is present. In GP Legend, Mr. Zero's role is the exact same as in the games. (Source: F-Zero Wiki)
