The badges portion of the Pilot card.

A Pilot Card, sometimes stylized as PILOT CARD, is a customizable feature in F-Zero 99. It is entered through the Workshop. Racers are able to create custom banners to be displayed during races and towards other racers. Pilot cards bear a resemblance to the Splashtags system in the Splatoon series.

Each Pilot card is comprised of three components: The Backdrop, Badges, and Borders. Racers unlock more options for customization after completing certain criteria, like winning enough races or knocking out a set number of players. A majority are earned from Lucky Ranks. Furthermore, the player's active Machine, rank, and username is added automatically.

Backdrop

The Backdrop is the background that appears behind the Machine. More Backdrops can be unlocked after completing the certain criteria:
