F Zero Series Time Continuity Issues - CosmykTheDolfyn - 08-30-2013
The time difference between F-Zero and F-Zero X is not uniform. Between F-Zero and F-Zero X, the racer Pico goes from 34 years old in F-Zero to 123 years old in F-Zero X, a difference of 89 years. However, Captain Falcon is said to be in his early 30s in the first game F-Zero, while he is stated to be 36 in F-Zero X, giving a maximum amount of time difference to be 6 years.

Well, it might not necessarily be an error. If I am not mistaken, they can go into space in the F-Zero series. You actually age at a slower rate while in space.

You know you got a point there. Since years work differently on different planets (example: Mercury's year is 88 earth days. We have 365-366 days in a year. Saturn's year is 29.7 Earth years). It could be that Pico lives on a planet that has a faster year, compared to Captain Falcon, who probley lives on earth. This is only speculation on my part as I don't know the characters.

Pico is from the planet Pipporito, and his hometown is Wind Valley. Plausible explanation.
