Billy (F-Zero)

Billy is a minor character in the Nintendo racing game, F-Zero. He first appeared in F-Zero X and since then, up until F-Zero's hiatus, appeared in every single instalment.

Why he Sucks

 * 1) Despite being the first monkey to become an F-Zero racer, in the F-Zero pilot reviews when Mr Zero asks "Congratulations on your stunning victory" Billy replies "Hurry up! Wheres my prize money!"
 * 2) Like Pico he doesn't serve any purpose in the story mode whatsoever.
 * 3) Even though the graphics in F-Zero GX were impressive at the time, he by far has the freakiest model in the game and even his Racer interview proves it
 * 4) He is one of those "participating events to win money" cliche characters, and an awful one of that
 * 5) His character has awful voice acting
 * 6) He is just forgotten by Nintendo now, he doesn't even appear as a collectable spirit in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Redeeming qualities

 * 1) At least he doesn't turn evil because of money, which is at least ONE original thing about him
 * 2) His pilot theme is actually surprisingly good
 * 3) Something what he does right and what Pico doesn't, while the latter has an AWFUL vehicle, Billy's vehicle, the Mad Wolf, is at least of decent quality

Trivia

 * If you look closely on his belt, you can see the Monkey Ball logo on it
 * He is the second youngest F-Zero racer based of his human years
