In the July 2020 Nintendo internal content leak called the "Gigaleak", two pictures were found among early graphics used for F-Zero X of the head of a 1998 Moore Action Collectibles toy of Beavis from the animated series "Beavis and Butt-Head". The second picture is an enlarged version of the first with inverted colors.
