Chapter 5 [A Brilliant Trap]
------------

Rick sustains an arm injury and is unable to enter the next race. So, fellow Galaxy Mobile Platoon member Jack enters and wins it. While the energetic Jack is celebrating, the beautiful Lisa Brilliant appears. Jack, who has a weakness with women, is overcome by her charms. During this time, his F-Zero machine, the Astro Robin, is stolen.

This greatly upsets Jack, who completely changes from his usual happy self. Knowing that it is affecting Jack, the platoon sets out to recover his stolen machine. They have little luck until, during a race, they see a machine that looks like a differently colored Astro Robin. It seems Lisa stole his machine in order to win the next race. 

Rick wants to somehow get the machine back from Lisa in the next race, but his arm injury has yet to heal. So, both Rick and Jack ride together in the Dragon Bird and cooperate to chase after Lisa. Suddenly during the chase, the space pirate Samurai Goroh appears and escapes with Lisa. While Rick and Jack are unable to catch Lisa, they do recover the Astro Robin, bringing Jack back to his happy-go-lucky ways.
