Birthed from 's love of and a need to show-off the 3D rendering capabilities of the Super FX chip, Star Fox. The first two game were known as Starwing and Lylat Wars in PAL territories, is a long-running franchise that began in 1993 on the, starring a group of ragtag who are fond of flying spacecrafts known as Arwings and spouting lines that quickly enter.The series takes place in the Lylat System, wherein lies the planet of Corneria, kept safe by General Pepper and the Corneria Defense Force. Of course, this military group can't handle every galactic threat that comes their way and finds themselves having to regularly enlist the help of some.

With Andross's forces causing undue destruction and having no time to train new pilots for the experimental 'Arwing' fighters, General Pepper of the Cornerian Defense Force is the mercenary group Star Fox to pilot the new ships. The game was technologically advanced for its time: very few console games back then could showcase 3D rendering at a playable framerate — Nintendo worked with to manufacture the Super FX co-processor chip to handle the task. (, 2018): Angered by his defeat in the first game, Andross returns to the Lylat system to launch a new attack against Corneria, this time using his new fleet of battleships and giant missiles launched from hidden bases to.

General Pepper again calls upon the Star Fox team for help, with the group now armed with new, a Mothership, and two new recruits (Miyu and Fay). The game featured free-roaming, 3-dimensional flight and (foregoing the linear gameplay of Star Fox), as well as multiple playable characters with unique. Infamously, the game was completed in mid-1995 and meant to release that year, but due to Nintendo wishing to emphasize the between the SNES and N64, the title was shelved for almost 22 years until the team behind the SNES Classic Edition Many of its unique concepts, including 3-dimensional flight, and overworld map, and, were revisited and incorporated in other entries over the intervening years. Technologically, the Super FX chip was further enhanced during the game's development, with the improved rendering of the Super FX 2 seeing usage in and the SNES port of.Timeline 2. PAL: Lylat Wars (, 1997): The first in the series, and the only game developed entirely in-house by Nintendo EAD, Star Fox 64 shares the same overall plot and as the SNES original, but.

The game was notable for coming bundled with the Rumble Pak: the first mainstream vibrating controller accessory (coming out before the DualShock). A titled Star Fox 64 3D was released for the in 2011. (, 2002): Eight years after Andross' defeat, a financially struggling Star Fox team is persuaded by General Pepper to investigate the war situation on Dinosaur Planet, where they discover that the actions of the invading Sharp Claw army is causing the planet to literally break apart.

Considered the due to being a fantasy adventure game rather than a (The game was meant to be a and had Fox McCloud inserted into it at the eleventh hour). This game introduced Fox's on-again-off-again love interest, Krystal, and was also the last game developed for a Nintendo console before Rare was bought by. (GameCube, 2005): After the defeat of Andross, Oikonny - Andross' nephew - becomes leader of the remaining forces on Venom.

Rather than wait for him to attack, General Pepper orders a preemptive strike, with the Star Fox team assisting the Cornerian Army. However, during the battle, Oikonny is destroyed by an insect-like creature called an Aparoid, beings that ravaged the Cornerian fleet seventeen years prior. Fearing a new invasion, the Star Fox crew is ordered to find a way to stop the Aparoids before its too late. Developed by, this installment returned to Star Fox 64's linear style of gameplay, mixing it with on-foot segments.

Build a company games. (, 2006): Just as the planet Venom's forces were thought to be completely destroyed, a race of beings known as the Anglar emerge from its toxic seas to attack the Lylat System. As such, a Star Fox team that had fragmented in the years since Assault must. Co-developed by Nintendo EAD and, the latter being a spiritual successor to Argonaut Software, this is the first portable entry in the franchise. Taking some concepts from Star Fox 2, the game featured mostly free-roaming combat, (a notable contrast to the of Star Fox 2), multiple playable characters with unique aircraft, and.Timeline 3. (, 2015): Co-developed by Nintendo EPD and, this is the second, once again following similar story beats as the previous titles.

Its gameplay is radically different from previous titles in that the console's Gamepad screen and motion controls are used to aim the Arwing's weapons independently from the ship's flight path. Himself headed the project (as he had personally wanted to revive the series since the generation). Star Fox Guard (Wii U, 2015): A spin-off released alongside Zero, serving as a prologue to the game's events, with the player as a working at a mining company owned by Slippy's Uncle Grippy, using armed security cameras to defend the base.Other major gaming appearances for Star Fox characters outside their own series include:.: the first game in the series featured Fox McCloud among it's original twelve fighters. Falco Lombardi and Wolf O'Donnell joined the series in Melee and Brawl, respectively.: the version has, all of them related to the Star Fox franchise. The exclusive missions feature Star Fox dealing with Wolf and his cronies, who have fled Lylat and are hiding in the Atlas star system, and the entire game can be played using Star Fox and their iconic Arwing starfighters.In addition to video games, Star Fox has made appearances in comics and animation. With the former, there are two notable comics series based on the series: the 1993 comic strip that served as a canonical retelling and of the original SNES game's plot, written and authored by Benimaru Itoh note who also illustrated the, and, a 2002 manga released on the Japanese website that covers the events that occurred between 64 and Adventures, while focusing mainly on Falco's background and his relationships with other characters. There's also from 1997 that adapts the plot of, released by Nintendo of Europe.

As for animation, there's the animated short, an adaptation of the first mission in produced by under Miyamoto's supervision.Tropes:.: There's plenty of them.,.: Character names in this series fall into two categories: either the name is (eg. Their name is, note Leon the Chameleon, Slippy the Frog. Or, note characters like Fox, Wolf, and Panther) Or they have a real name with no relation to their species at all, like James McCloud the Fox., some characters have animal themed surnames like Hare and Toad, while others have distinctly European surnames, McCloud, Lombardi, Caruso, O'Donnel etc.: Many boss vehicles hold smaller enemy ships inside them. In addition, the Star Fox team often uses a command ship that carries their Arwings into battle: while the most iconic example is the Great Fox, which appeared from through to its destruction in, others motherships were used by the team in both and.: The Sharp Claws, Aparoids, and Anglar. There is also not a single non-malevolent ape like character (other than possibly Dash Bowman).: ◊.

She is a fox, but foxes aren't blue (except for arctic foxes in certain regions, which have bluish-white winter coats that are nowhere near the cobalt blue of Krystal). According to Falco is actually a pheasant,. Katt is traditionally depicted with pink fur, but it suddenly changed to black in Command. Maybe she started dyeing?

Maybe she stopped dyeing?. Slippy's kids in one of the endings in Command all have different colors.: In, any wingman who gets shot down at any time is, while Fox, being the only playable character, has. In this trope was unceremoniously - including the Star Wolf pilots. Anyone shot down was gone, forever. This was heavily toned down in, in which boss enemies do die, but downed Star Fox pilots just sit out the next mission and return after that (notably, the Star Wolf pilots can come back ).

The trope was dropped entirely in and., the reasoning behind this element of the game was to make the player the tragedy when they lose a wingman. Takaya Imamura: 'It’s pretty tragic when your allies are defeated, so players ought to realize at some point that they’ve begun to feel empathy towards them.'

Because the National Army find it difficult to contain PHANTOM, General Krenman sees the mammoth task available and calls upon the one thing that stands between Shell City’s obliteration as well as salvation the peanut chompin, villain stompin, PHANTOM romping BADASS Elephantidae TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT!

.: While the main characters follow a mildly consistent appearance throughout five games and two comics, they still change appearance a lot more than, say,. Mostly, they get progressively cuter.: According to official sources, the Lylat System orbits a B-type blue giant star which contains more than four habitable planets. However, in, B-type stars are extremely unlikely to have habitable planets — or any planets at all for that matter, due to the fact that they're extremely short-lived (their full life spans are only about 100 million years in comparison to our Sun's 10 billion) and they output so much solar energy that they blow away their proto-planetary discs, thus preventing planet formation. If there are planets, they're most likely either barren deserts or volcanic wastelands.: The Lylat system is messed up in the fact that planetary orbits do not exist (although Assault does appear to have a model with orbits of the Lylat system). The original and the avert this trope.

The order of the planets is directly mentioned in the game manual.: Does Fox McCloud have blue or green eyes?. They appear to have settled on green, but interestingly, in an early promo art for Assault, they appeared to be ◊.: 'DO A BARREL ROLL' was used in the subject line for an e-mail advertising Star Fox 64 3D, and an in Star Fox Zero.: An example appears in Star Fox Command.: Asteroid fields are a staple level present in all Star Fox games, even.: Wolf O'Donnell. While he doesn't actually own a bike—he pilots a Wolfen—he does fit the trope in terms of his design. He wears the black leather attire that is standard for the trope in every game he's in, excepting Star Fox 64. His design is still based on this in Super Smash Bros.

Brawl, but it goes a step further by giving him at least one accessory traditionally associated with the biker motif, including a chain that connects to the belt around his waist and to the holster for his blaster.: Lucy Hare, who taught Astrophysics during the events of Star Fox Command.: Starting with, about half the cast became this, but most noticeably Falco 'Time to kick some tail!' Lombardi and Wolf 'What the heck!?' O'Donnell.: In Nintendo Power's, it's Fox and Fara.

In and, it's Fox and Krystal, at least part of the time. Slippy and Amanda count too.: is the main villain during. General Scales appears to be this throughout Adventures, before he gets. The Aparoid queen was this in Assault, and the Anglar Emperor was this in Command.: In Star Fox 64, General Pepper gives one of these in reaction to the bill for Star Fox's services.: The Star Fox team tends to show up just in the nick of time. Star Wolf gets a moment like this in Star Fox Assault.: This trope is Played straight in the original game, in which Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy fight through five consecutive airborne missions without a single break or a base to return to. The last two levels in both Star Fox 64 and Assault are back to back.: 'Out of This Dimension,' from the first game.

Good luck, but once you do, the level has rather bizarre enemies, and there is no help from your wingmen. The boss is a (which is justified, seeing as how it's a giant inter-dimensional ), and once you beat the boss,.

The credits fly by, and a giant 'THE END' pops up, which you can just keep shooting at until you get bored and turn the game off.: While most of Star Fox 64 is just a standard shoot-em-up, the penultimate level on the 'Hard' path of the game gets a special mention: in Area 6 you will be so busy dodging the fire that you could easily run into the enemy ships which take up half the screen. However, even that is eclipsed by the ' side of Venom on Expert mode. There are times when you face, who proceed to, and your only real option is to.: Krystal.

She was originally the protagonist of Dinosaur Planet before it was into a Star Fox game. Katt: Hey Falco, do you have. A lover?Falco: Even now and even before, I have no interest in falling head over heels for someone. Basically, Katt asks Falco if he has a lover, using a, so as to avoid any situations.

Falco responds that he doesn't have,. Both versions of the manga as a whole paint Falco as someone who can be platonic friends with someone, but is strongly (and even angrily) averse to anything closer than that.: From onward, the Arwing has the ability to charge it's main laser to fire a.: Pretty much every dogfight in Star Fox 64 quickly devolves into this trope. It is possible to trick some enemies with loops, but it does little to break up the constant tail-chasing.

If you try this in both Star Wolf battles in 64, they would double-team you in the second battle; baiting you into looping behind your pursuer, only to be hammered by his teammate. And you're all out of boost to try the maneuver again,.: In some of the games, particularly if you fly too close to something big and clip them off. Even without wings, the ships can stay airborne and under the control of the pilot due to the G-diffuser systems installed in them, but maneuvering becomes far more difficult.: Nearly every planet in the Lylat System has a colony or several settlements on it.: This is done so you. In, Fox is yellow, Falco is blue, Slippy is green, Peppy is red, and Krystal is purple.

Taken even further in, where all characters were assigned a color to their ship and trail on the map. The games play with in their outfits mismatching their character color (which is usually based on their body color) for contrast. In their default uniforms, Fox wears green, Slippy blue, and Falco orange or yellow. Peppy is the only one whose shirt color matches his character color consistently. In their Assault suits, Fox kept green, Falco became red, Slippy yellow, and Krystal blue.: The size of a force of spacecraft is inversely proportional to its effectiveness.

Thus, Corneria's massive fleet is useless (at one point being destroyed by one aparoid, a creature so flimsy it's Assault's second boss), while a rag-tag team of mercenaries can do anything.:. In Star Fox, continuing resets your Arwing to it's lowest level - one laser and no powerups. Depending on how late in the game this happens,. Star Fox 64 is usually pretty good about continue points: they push you far enough back so you have time to restore your extended shield and blue lasers before you reach the boss. The times they don't (Venom 2's dogfight against Star Wolf, for example) dive right into this trope. Special mention goes to: you get two Arwing pilots to start, and can switch between them freely to mitigate damage.

'Continuing' means, and the remaining pilot.: The page picture, a piece of artwork from Star Fox Command, is essentially a redrawing of original promotional material for the original SNES Star Fox (which was actually the boxart for the Japanese and European releases). This is also given a nod in the Star Fox Zero unlockable Sound Test.

Also, Andrew Oikonny, ex-Star Wolf, is the first boss in Assault, where he to become a good like his uncle was. His ship even transforms into a big head with two flying fists as a to Andross's boss fight. Falco is not impressed. Falco: What's this, an?.: Fox. His dad was killed by Andross (They ). The reveals that Andross killed his mother as well,.

Krystal. How this happened hasn't been made fully clear yet, however, the fact that she recognized Andross shortly before she got implies that Andross may have been involved in its destruction. Aside from those two, Falco is the only other team member who does not appear to have any family.: Peppy Hare, also Fox in one of the endings in Command, where he is seen sporting sunglasses like his father and a goatee.

General Pepper tries for this, though he falls short. In another of the endings of Command, Falco serves this role, playing mentor to Fox's son Marcus just as Peppy was Fox's mentor.

And like Fox above, Falco wears awesome sunglasses.: The Great Fox definitely qualifies, as does its unnamed predecessor. Both ships serve to transport, service and repair the, making them functionally equivalent to an.: Bolse (and how!) from. Also the 'Atomic Base' cores in the original, which inspired similar structures in.: The Landmaster and the Blue-Marine - a tank and a submarine, respectively - are both crewed by one person. The Great Fox might also count: it's operated solely by ROB 64 in most games.: A number of characters will do this depending on the game and situation.

Falco snarks the most, though Fox definitely has his moments. Fox: Good to know that the targeting system is as sterling as ever.: Happens to Star Wolf in Assault and Command.: The Great Commander boss from the original Star Fox, though it prefers to fight Fox in its combined mode more than in its detached form.: Fox McCloud's first meeting face-to-face with. Her sent him into shock for a minute before Peppy's call knocked him out of it.: Both Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Zero begin with a call for assistance, as do several missions in Star Fox Assault. You are playing as a mercenary team, so it makes sense that most games start with your services being called for. Adventures begins with Krystal answering a distress call from Sauria. She gets another one, in the same way from Sauria in Assault.: The, although it.: This can be done, though usually with mixed results.: Guess what species Fox is.

We also have a wolf named Wolf, a cat named Katt, a pig named Pigma, and so on. That said, this trope is averted by Falco, whose name comes from falcon, but according to is actually a pheasant.: Some lines play this straight, but others just seem hilarious. 'I think you look better in a tank.' . 'Why don't you come down here, Falco?' . 'I'll pass, Fox.'

. Krystal's been trying to go on a mission alone with Fox since the start of the game. Krystal: A mission together at last.Fox: Oh. Yeah.: In, and it's, the Star Fox team is represented in an unapologetically and style, focusing on realistic textures and animalistic expressions. Largely uses the same style as it's forerunner.

And it's remake both used a, in keeping with the lighter tone. Additionally, in the original game, it's manual, and all official media related to it, the entire Star Fox team is with - a design trend that persisted as late as their appearance in.

This created a that, which. Future games clearly depict the team wearing suspiciously large boots instead.: Star Wolf and Star Fox have teamed up on two occasions to fight a greater threat.: Slippy does this for you in most games against bosses, allowing you to see the enemy shield. Other characters (Peppy, mostly) provide you with hints about how to beat the enemy.: Basically every mission has an element of this if you don't want to lose teammates, but there are more classical examples as well. Star Fox Assault had a unique variant where Fox is rescued by others and rides on their wing while shooting down pursuing enemies. Command does this for every single level. You have to protect the, from all enemy units, including missiles that specifically target it.

Most players agree that.: The Star Wolf team kicked Pigma off of the team sometime between 64 and Assault, replacing him (and Oikonny, who left of his own accord) with the much less repulsive Panther.: but when the entire Lylat system is threatened, Star Wolf will put their lives on the line to save it. They help Star Fox fight the aparoids in, and they oppose the Anglars in.: Wolf seems to attract this, both from and the.: In Adventures and Assault, Fox tries to keep a lid on his blatant attraction to Krystal. It doesn't work very well. Falco, Slippy, R.O.B., and even Tricky (who hadn't seen them in over a year and had never seen them together in Adventures) manages to figure it out.: and (if only briefly) both have dinosaurs for no reason aside from having dinosaurs.: Averted for the most part. With only a few exceptions, the monkeys in these games are not cheery or silly.

No, the monkeys in these games are.::. The from both looks and functions like, and the ◊ from the same game very closely resemble Zeon's battleships. Even more: in Star Fox 64, the entire Venomian fleet in Sector Y is made of Gundam expies: the whole force is made of backed by capital ships. Looks like a more simian version of the, and about two-thirds of the way through the mission you encounter a. As an added bonus, while not the pilot of the red mech, the boss is also wearing sunglasses. In Star Fox 2, the fired by Star Wolf pilots look and function exactly like.

In addition, the aparoids of Star Fox Assault are an expy of the Borg. They also steal some lines and from straight from them. 'Resistance is useless!'

. In Star Fox, the 's ships are destroyed in a similar manner to the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi.

The mothership in Katina in Star Fox 64 is an Expy of the flying saucers in, right down to the location of their weak point. Tricky resembles another triceratops called Tricky from another Rare-developed game: Diddy Kong Racing.: Wolf. Note However, according to some fans who've studied his Star Fox Assault model, he really isn't missing an eye. Wolf's design from appears to show more clearly that Wolf does indeed have a left eye; however, it has a scar over it and seems to be in pretty bad shape.:, and all make heavy use of fanfare.: According to the Star Fox 64 storyline, Pigma is this trope.: Falco seems to not like primates too much. Andross openly hates dogs in, which was borrowed from. 'Pepper's dogs.!

You're ALWAYS getting in my way!' .: The launch in the original, with a voice (still a rare thing in the 16-bit days) shouting 'Emergency! Incoming enemy fighters! Prepare for launch!' .: Ditto the above. Falco.

The Realist - Fox. The Optimist - Slippy. The Apathetic - Peppy.: Fox (sanguine/choleric), Falco (choleric), Slippy (melancholic), Peppy (phlegmatic), Krystal (sanguine/phlegmatic), and ROB (leukine).: Fox McCloud is very literally a humanoid fox.: In the original and, your wing men will yell at you when you shoot them, but they aren't otherwise harmed by your blasts. This is generally averted in Star Fox 64, though a few minor characters are immune to your fire. The friendly fire is especially evident on Katina, where you have to help out an allied squadron in the middle of a massive, disorganized dogfight. If you manage not to shoot down one ally, you're rewarded with a special cutscene.: Panther, at least when compared to the rest of the cast. Takaya Imamura: 'It’s pretty tragic when your allies are defeated, so players ought to realize at some point that they’ve begun to feel empathy towards them.'

.: Pigma tends to get this even more than the big bad of whatever game he's in, due to being a traitor as well as his extremely slimy and unlikable personality.: Quite a few happen in Assault. Yet, no one actually dies. General Pepper's flagship is top-to-bottom infected by aparoids. Instead of letting his own body succumb, he would rather let his star mercenary kill him. After fighting and defeating General Pepper, his flagship explodes and hurtles toward the sea in a mangled wreck. However, Peppy Hare, formerly retired Star Fox member, saves him in an Arwing by redirecting his trajectory to crash in a field. They both narrowly survive the following blast.

Peppy saves the day again in level 10. After the first part, a shield builds up over the way to the center of the planet, much to the party's annoyance. All of a sudden, Peppy orders everyone to stand way back, and for good reason. As the camera pans toward the Great Fox, it's broken, mangled, and riddled with aparoids. So what does he plan to do? ROB 64 says they won't survive the impact, but Peppy does it anyway, against not only ROB's analysis, but also the pleas of his ship mates. Fox manages to snap the team out of it and blast through the Great Fox-sized hole.

(Surprisingly, with the Wolf following them.) After they boost through the hole in the barrier, it gradually repairs, eventually cutting through the Great Fox, causing it to explode. The only thing left of it as Star Fox heads toward the core is a blinding light and a thunderous roar. Star Wolf risks their lives keeping the attention and heat of nigh invincible enemies away from Star Fox, and weren't seen escaping the planet as it exploded. They're still around in Star Fox Command. Thanks to, this can be anyone's fate in the original and its, depending on the player's actions.: the Star Fox team and Star Wolf are both. The difference between them is that Star Fox has standards on who they work for, while Star wolf goes for high-paying, illegal jobs.

The opening of Assault indicates that a large amount of Andross's army was composed of hired guns, mostly criminals.: One of the Star Fox 64 levels is inspired by the movie. Another level features -like enemies. Both elements show up again, to a degree, in Command. Some lines might well pay homage to (like the one directly below). Assault has music from Star Fox 64 mixed into orchestrated versions. Command also has a lot of music based on it. Star Wolf is a homage to an old space-themed show Star Wolf.: Wolf hasn't been out of 80's leather pants and spiked vests since Assault.

In fact, he had been wearing them since Star Fox 2, but in Star Fox 64 his outfit was briefly changed to a military uniform.: Fara Phoenix, from the comics, looks very much like Fox's deceased mother Vixy, despite Fara being a Fennec Fox and Vixy being a Red Fox. They're twin-like enough to inadvertently fool Andross into revealing that he accidentally killed Vixy in his attempt to.: This happens in nearly every Star Fox game. Panther: Uh, set me straight here, Leon; are you envious of the shred der, or the shred ee?.: Peppy says this verbatim in Star Fox 64.: Falco's reasons for leaving the team numerous times.

He also states this as the reason why he'll never want a girlfriend.: The Fortuna flyover in Star Fox Assault.: The English dialog of Assault has Wolf refer to Fox as 'pup'. Being that Wolf is a Wolf, it's an obvious insult to his age and experience. suggests that Wolf is in fact older than Fox. This was confirmed in: Wolf mentions that he fought James.: When you destroy the Blade Barrier in the original game, the blade flies off the station as it's disintegrating, and heads straight towards you. If you're directly in its path, and low on health. Well, sucks to be you, you have to repeat the last third of the level and the boss fight all over again. The Sarumarine in 64 can do this too when its spiked-ball launcher falls off at the end of the fight.

It's not really aimed at you, though, so it's pretty easy to avoid this. On Expert, it can wreck your wings even if it doesn't kill you.: Pigma Dengar speaks with Kansai-dialect in Japan. His name 'Dengar' itself is a reference to it.: Occasionally, you'll find your wingmen chasing after enemies; shooting those enemies will often be met with some words of complaint. Falco: 'Go find your own target, Fox!' .: Many characters in the Star Fox franchise didn't survive to see the next installment. Anyone who dies in Star Fox or Star Fox 2 is.

James McCloud may or may not be dead, since they. According to the SNES comic and Star Fox Zero, he is revealed to still be alive, but trapped in an. Vixy Reinard and Vivian Hare are.

Pretty much all of the bosses in Star Fox 64 minus get killed. Apparently, Andross did finally die in Star Fox Adventures, but returns as a ghost (which is probably a recording) in Star Fox Command. General Scales. Pigma dies in Assault after being assimilated by Aparoids. Whether or not you count Command as canon, he only reappears as a final boss replacement for the true (Anglar Emperor) in two possible endings, both of which are the least likely of any to be canon. And even so, he is. Andrew Oikonny is presumed dead in Star Fox Assault.

Due to how it happened, his death could be easily retconned. But he hasn't appeared in any sequels. The Anglar Emperor.: In both Star Fox and Star Fox 64, the team arrives when Andross has already conquered most of the system.: Panther.: Fox McCloud is the son of James McCloud.

Both are considered the best pilots of their universe and generation and both leaders of their teams. One of the of Star Fox Command takes this further with Marcus: Fox's son and leader of a new Star Fox team. Andross also has a grandson, and one of the endings of Command leaves the possibility of him following in his granddaddy's galaxy-conquering footsteps.: Almost to a point of: the original, and were all much darker than anything made after. Even though the plot is essentially the same as Star Fox 64, it was delivered in a much grimmer and far less humorous style.

The only real laughs in the early games come from the crew's dialogue, and even that is lot less pronounced than the humor in the post-reboot games., and are all more thematically intense than Star Fox 64 was, but even then the series has never been as dark as the original continuity. An example of this from gameplay: originally, any wingmate who was shot down was. By endgame, a sufficiently could even be left with only. From Star Fox 64 onwards, a wingmate going down means that they'll just return to the for a few missions before.

Peppy Hare: This brings back memories of your dad! Your father helped me like that, too! You're becoming more like your father!.: In the backstory of the original Star Fox, Andross made a shocking discovery that Venom hosted life-forms of humanoid lizards, which he used for his army against Corneria.

While 64 doesn't mention this this plot element, about half of his henchmen with dialogue are some sort of lizard. Finally, the inhabitants of Dinosaur Planet tend to fit this trope to varying degrees.: Fox was awestruck at how beautiful the sleep-induced Krystal was when he first saw her.

Likewise, upon freeing her and catching her from falling to her death, there is an instant where they both look into each other's eyes for a moment.: The Slot Machine boss from 'Out of This Dimension.' There is literally no strategy to this boss besides shooting the handle and hoping the tumblers turn up right.: Andross.: Andross and Andrew, as well as Dash Bowman in a couple of endings in Command.: In Star Fox Adventures, there are more Bafomadads (1-Ups) in the game than you can carry at once. This is averted in all of the other games.: Assuming that Fox is 'white' (which his overall would seem to imply), the entire adventure on Dinosaur Planet fits this trope. Krystal - not being native to Dinosaur Planet - would have been this in the original game.: Out of This Dimension in the original.

A Slot Machine for the boss? Really?.: Fox's mother, Vixy Reinard, is never seen or mentioned in the games. The reveal she was accidentally killed by Andross, who was attempting to.

Lucy Hare's mother (Peppy's wife), Vivian, was revealed to have died sometime before the events of Star Fox Command due to an unknown illness. Slippy's mother is absent with no explanation; only his dad, Beltino, is ever seen.: Primarily ROB, who controls the Great Fox, and to a degree General Pepper and Peppy (especially in Assault, where he made room for newcomer Krystal).: Venom. Star Fox 2 and Star Fox Command prove that terraforming it is possible, though.: The Great Fox.: Krystal, especially in her first appearance in. In addition to her, the game actually played whenever Fox.: Were Fox, Falco, and Slippy political exiles from Corneria who lived as on Venomian-occupied Papetoon for years, and then rejoined Corneria to fight the Lylat War? Or were they who inherited daddy's battle arsenal and worked with the Cornerian Army to defeat Andross from the start?.: Six versions of the ending and the Out of This Dimension ending in the original, good and normal endings in Star Fox 64, and no less than nine in Command.: At the end of, ROB notices Fox's.'

Reaction' to Krystal's presence. R.O.B.: My sensors indicate that Fox's temperature is rising. Are you all right, Fox?(the organics other than Fox laugh)Fox: I'm gonna be just fine.: Star Fox 64 on Expert. The 'Easy' side of Venom (approaching from Bolse) is possibly the most thing in the series on this setting. Also, the Macbeth level in Star Fox 64.

Portions of the original game also count (though perhaps not to the same extent - your wings can survive a few hits at least!). In particular, the draw distance on later levels (closely-spaced pillars popping into frame just in front of you?) and Andross having a RIDICULOUS amount of HP.: 'Use the boost to get through!' .: Most likely the reason for the listed above.: In 64, if your teammates are shot down, they're just forced to take a break for repairs. Fox himself crashes and explodes while one of his teammates calls out 'FOX!!!' Or simply '.

The same apparently applies to Star Wolf, who manage to survive their Wolfen exploding every single time. The only time they appear to be hurt by this is in 64, where they are.:, because destroying the aparoid queen allows the virus to kill them all via apoptosis and taking advantage of their. And in the original, destroying the Slot Machine ends the distortion in the level. Though considering the level being a Mind Screw, we can overlook this.: Averted: the characters in this series can and do age. As an example, Slippy - even though he is approximately the same age as Fox - seems like a kid in Star Fox 64, has a noticeably deeper voice in Adventures and gets engaged after the events of Assault. Additionally, Peppy retires, considering himself too old for flying.: In Assault: Star Wolf was initially suspected of being involved in Pigma's theft of the. Turns out that, not only were they not involved at all, but they actually long before it happened.

Also a meta-example in the same game: Thanks to the events of, and to a certain extent the next game (since Andross created the Anglars), you'd think that Andross might somehow be pulling the strings on the new menace. Turns out, the aparoids have absolutely no affiliation with him.: Krystal is a tribal who just happens to also be a bombshell of a woman.: Slippy and Amanda. Peppy and the late Vivian. Fox and Fara in the first continuity.

The status of Fox and Krystal's relationship in the was left on as of and has.: The Star Fox team's reaction to Star Wolf's advanced craft in Venom. Falco:.:, largely thanks to the use of, but still used frequently, especially for any encounter with Star Wolf. While this trope is averted in levels where the player is flying within the atmosphere of a planet, this becomes glaringly apparent when you see an Arwing or Wolfen.: The wings of the Arwing in Expert mode.

Bruise something and you lose a wing and any laser upgrade.: Fox McCloud saves the day single-handedly, often with no noticeable contribution from his teammates or the Cornerians. Really, this is ONLY because Fox is the player character.

In Star Fox Command and Star Fox 2, this trope easily applies to the entire Star Fox team, because all of them are independently playable. In Star Fox Zero, with just his Arwing. It's safe to say the Star Fox pilots are all the.: Fox is so determined to get revenge on Andross, that when they reach his lair, he tells the rest of the team to back off. This is the excuse Wolf gives Fox for saving him from a large group of aparoids in Assault. What are you doing here?Wolf: You're the one who dropped in unannounced.

And if anyone's gonna tan your hide, it's gonna be me.: A comic explained General Pepper's past some. And he was a busy.: Andross's return from exile is always explained. In, he found an inhabited planet full of primitive, gullible people, massive resources, and ◊. In, he turned a barren and deserted planet into a fully industrialised war factory. In, he constructed an artificial planet that serves as a hub for an interplanetary teleportation system. Still no details on where the armada and soldiers came from.

It's also not explained how exactly Andross even functions! Was he a normal sized ape prior to becoming a colossal floating head (his grandson and nephew would support this claim, as they're normal sized animals)? If so then how did he turn into the oversized ape-head he became? Even the extent of his powers and how they work are left in the dark, as his ability to exist as only a brain doesn't get explained nor does.: Zoness's entire ocean and atmosphere was polluted horribly by Andross in its first sight in 64, but by Star Fox Assault, most of the pollution was cleaned up.: was one of the first video games to popularize graphics like this on home consoles.: Star Wolf.

Wolf - Superego. Leon - Ego. Panther - Id.: The Star Fox team and their rival, Star Wolf are both privately owned militaries-for-hire.

At the end of and, Star Fox gets a check for how many enemies they shot down.: Poor Fox ends up all alone by the time Command starts, leading him to do this. Exactly how the band gets back together.: Katt Monroe changed from a pink cat in Star Fox 64 and Farewell, Beloved Falco, to a Siamese-looking cat with different colorings and markings in Star Fox Command.: Happens when Fox first sees Krystal. After a little while gawking at her beauty and thinking what an idiot he'd been, he is snapped out of it by Peppy, reminding him he still has a job to do. When it happens, the playing in the background cuts out with a scratch.: Command introduces Lucy, Peppy's daughter. You would think that she would have been mentioned in previous games. Considering in the previous games your team is busy fighting for their lives, small talk about family doesn't really seem like the thing they would be doing.: Fox always meets his girlfriend like this. In the original continuity, Fox fell in love with Fara after rescuing her from Andross' soldiers.

In the, Fox becomes enamored with Krystal when he sees her trapped. After he rescues her at the end of the game, she. Dialogue suggests that this. Krystal: I'll join you.if you'll kiss me.: The Star Wolf team. Wolf vs. Fox, who are implied to have some history between their rivalry.

Leon vs. Falco, also implied to have met before. Pigma vs. Peppy, both members of the original Star Fox team, and both stopped being regular pilots by the time of Asssault (Peppy retired gracefully, whereas Pigma was forced off of his own team). Andrew vs. Slippy, more a case of. Panther vs.

Krystal, both newer members of the team by the time of Assault. Also in the only dogfight in the game four Star Fox pilots are present, but Slippy is told to stay behind making it a three-on-three. Panther and Falco occasionally fight each other but not through dogfight. Instead, they fight by out-snarking each other. In Assault and Command, they are less evil and more.: Octoman from appears as a boss in Command, while one of the drivers in F-Zero looks like a human version of Fox's father and even shares the same name.: Wolf and Fox tend to do this after the events of the Lylat Wars, though usually after a short dogfight.: Averted in Assault.

The high-technology hive-minded aparoids attack the calm, spiritual, Dinosaur Planet Sauria, where the last game took place. The dinosaurs mount a resistance, but it's said that they suffer horrific loses. To quote Slippy.

'This planet is totally defenseless!' .: Spyborg in Star Fox 64.: This trope is Falco Lombardi's default mode, and it really ramps up when he's being shot at. Fox himself is in this mode at the beginning of. He relaxes as the story develops, but even by the end he isn't completely 'cured'.

In their cameo appearances in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, attempts flirting with Krystal. One of his lines involved the declaration that he would fling himself in front of an asteroid to protect her should one come near her ship. Her response of 'Oh I feel so much better hearing that.

You're such a gentleman, Panther', sounded very sarcastic to say the least.:. Panther utters this towards Wolf in Assault after the canine catches Fox from the aparoids, knowing that Wolf was just hiding his intentions for saving the main character. Wolf: Uh, in case you haven't noticed, the enemy's attacking!!.: Wolf O'Donnell, leader of the villainous Star Wolf team.: The only way,.: briefly analyzes the Landmaster. Apparently it's an enormous target with relatively thin armor.

No wonder Falco prefers the sky. That video forgets the Landmaster has an in the place of armor and the fact that the armor could easily be an. Never understimate.: Wolf in Star Fox Assault. James in Star Fox Command.: Almost every time Fox meets Krystal in Star Fox Adventures, a saxophone solo plays.: Krystal does one of these in Star Fox Adventures at the end of the game when she arrives to ' to Fox - it causes him to start stuttering.: In Assault, when Tricky makes the suggestion that Fox and Krystal can return to Sauria for their honeymoon, this amusing exchange occurs.

Tricky: You said you weren't gonna treat me like a kid anymore!Fox: Then stop acting like one!Tricky: You're just mad '.Krystal: All right. Thats enough, boys.: Falco Lombardi and Katt Monroe, per Farewell, Beloved Falco.: The Star Fox series seems to have a number of reciprocal Shout Outs in relation to. For starters, Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi may have originally been Shout Outs, being an anthropomorphic Golden Fox and Blue Falcon respectively. Then, James McCloud (outfit and all, but in non-anthropomorphic human form) became a character in the F-Zero series starting with F-Zero X. Peppy: THIS is Zoness?!Falco: I can't believe they did this.Slippy: What a dump!Falco: I hear ya, Slip.: Panther Caroso.: The Arwings.: The first few seconds of Sector X has a cloud of mines that must be navigated through. Area 6 also has a minefield that you have to fly through.: In, if you shoot all the small orange stingrays in Sector Y, a space whale shows up and drops a slew of powerups just before you encounter the boss.

In the tie-in, this is said to actually be that saved Fox's father, leaving him.: In, and, the characters all speak incomprehensible gibberish. For nostalgia's sake, this was made voice option in Lylat Wars, the PAL version of Star Fox 64, likely due to the European languages.: The iconic 360 degree barrel roll. In Command, deflecting enemy projectiles earns you bonus seconds, and rolling also attracts nearby items. It's even the only way to destroy an enemy mothership.: While Krystal's role in Star Fox Adventures was modest, she becomes the main focus of the plot in Star Fox Command. The whole plot of the game revolves around Fox's relationship with Krystal and most of the game's endings revolve around her in some way. She is also the only character that has two Arwings (one when joining Star Wolf and another if rejoining Star Fox).: All of the lizards and reptiles in the comic speak like this. The KABOOM of a defeated enemy is.

Often preceded by, and Star Fox 64 bosses have. More like 'PEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW' actually, making the noise instantly recognisable. Gotta love those sound engineers. The cluster explosion after the train crash in MacBeth is freaking excellent.: The Landmaster.:. Fox. Falco.

Peppy. ( variety) / - Slippy. Krystal (true to form, she is also ).: Done for Star Wolf and their kick-ass music. A short theme also plays when a minor character shows up in Star Fox 64. In Command, virtually everyone gets their own theme (the core team gets two each), save two certain characters. Wolf, however, hogs the Star Wolf theme, whereas his two other teammates get their own theme.: Star Fox 64. And in the Nintendo Power comic, after he learns that Andross killed his mother.: The robots in the Sargasso Space Zone roll metal barrels down the ramps you have to walk up.

Fortunately, Fox has a blaster and can jump decently high.: Often defending something against missiles. Command has a timer for combat in general (fuel) and a turn limit for each mission.: Pigma Dengar got his position in Andross' army on the basis of his betrayal of his partners James McCloud and Peppy Hare, resulting in the death of the former and the narrow escape of the latter. Even the other members of the Star Wolf team are disgusted by him.: Fox and his team, and Wolf and his team. Fox's team, however, slowly shows signs of separation. How the separation turns out is one of the key elements in Star Fox Command's multiple endings.

Ironically, Wolf, replacing them with the loyal, funny-personified Panther, and the team's been solid since.:. 'Don't go dying on me!' . Beltino: 'Do your best. But try to come back alive.' .: Several bosses in this series will start using more damaging techniques as they get closer to death.: Aquas again, as well as Venom in Command.: Oh boy, were the players upset when the long-awaited fight with General Scales in ended before either side landed a single hit.

Might be the most infamous example of this trope. A more minor example occurs with the Attack Carrier in the original game. You fight it at the end of Corneria if you take the Level 1 or Level 2 routes, but if you take the Level 3 route Andross's attack fleet get the opportunity to deploy their Destructor attack tank along with the Attack Carrier. Falco ends up fighting the Attack Carrier himself off-screen, leaving you to deal with the Destructor.: Falco, if you defeat the 'bogey on his six,' just tells you to mind your own business.: Fox and Krystal have this throughout the majority of their scenes together. Hell, the even has sexy saxophone music playing in the background.: In Star Fox 64, you can shoot down your own allies and force them to retire.

This is averted in the original and in Star Fox Assault, where your allies don't take damage if you shoot them. 64's two NPCs, Bill and Katt, are invulnerable, but you can take them down if you shoot either of them long enough. There's also the Cornerian soldiers in the Katina level, but shooting them down won't impact you negatively. Adventures allows you to hurt the dinosaurs with your staff; they cry out in pain, but they won't die. If you whack enough, though,.

Command averts this entirely, if you don't count any of as some form of cruelty towards the characters.: The aparoids have the ability to take over both biology and technology this way.: In Star Fox Adventures, is sealed inside of a giant crystal.: Fox and Falco fight as much as they bond in all parts of the series, both verbally and otherwise.: If you happen to be trigger-happy enough; you can actually shoot at your team-mates. This is the reaction you're given if you do. ' Fox! That was one of ours!'

. 'Hey, Einstein, I'm on your side!'

. 'Enemy down. That was one of ours!' . Your allies get mad if you steal their kills. Which is pretty easy to do.

Fox gets a lot of this from other characters for his callous treatment of Krystal prior to Star Fox Command; several reviewers commented on. Lucy: So, Fox, let's talk about Krystal. You really screwed that one up!.: There's nothing like as.: Though the tone of the franchise has compared to what it once was, most installments in this series surprisingly. Characters die in horrible ways, entire worlds like are left devastated by conflict. Some examples:., a that in some games in.

Then we see the side the Aparoids are infesting.: Starting with, the series has taken to some extremely hammy voice acting.: In Star Fox 64, General Pepper gets a bill for Star Fox's services. 'This is one steep bill!But it's worth it.' . Of course, even the good general has his limits. Rack up 1000 Hits or more, and his reaction is an astonished '.: Falco is blue feathered and Krystal has blue fur.: What the aparoids say this.

(de facto)(de jure)'Star Fox' (known in its PAL region physical release as 'Starwing') is the original Star Fox video game made for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It introduces and the on a mission to save the from the evil clutches of.

The game was originally intended to have a direct sequel, ', which would have introduced the now-familiar concepts of, and the rival team; however, it originally went unreleased due to the looming, and it was decided that the next title would be more akin to a series reboot rather than a true sequel. Contents GameplayThe objective of the game is to go through one route (Level 1 for beginners, Level 2 for more skilled players and Level 3 for seasoned veterans of the game) that begins at and eventually reaches, the planet where Andross has holed himself up. Along each route, there are six stages apiece, all different.Not counting the or, there are three route orders in the game. All paths begin at, where the player faces either the on the easier routes or the on the hardest route. In the easy path: The Star Fox team then heads to the where they destroy the, attack the and destroy the flagship's, destroy the of the, and fight at. In the medium route, they go to and destroy the, recapture the weather control base and destroy the corrupted at, save the 'undersea' lifeforms of by eliminating the, tangle with the at airspace, and race the at the base. On the hard route, they'll destroy the of the, destroy Andross's mutated at, take out the at, destroy the at to stop the construction of a base, and defeat the of Venom.

All routes end with the final boss, 'Andross.' This deviates the game from the normal space/flight sim mold in which the difficulty level is set by the player at an options screen, as each route corresponds to a difficulty level. The storyline of the game is extremely similar, essentially following its basic outline except with expanded backstories and character relationships that were presumably meant to take advantage of the voice acting. There are also no explicit references to any previous mission, except for the prologue twice vaguely using the phrase 'once again' when mentioning both Andross' invasion of the Lylat System and Fox McCloud's Star Fox team arriving to save Corneria and free the Lylat System. In an interview that was translated and published in its English-language strategy guide, Shigeru Miyamoto apparently considered to be a 'remake', although this is prior to popularization of the term 'reboot'.

In Star Fox 64, the is the only boss to be directly reused from the first game (Andross himself being mostly revamped for his fight). The Arwing gameplay (as well as the main characters and plot) is also a more in-depth version of what is presented in the original game, and many locations are revisited and at times reinterpreted. In, the name 'Dinosaur Planet' was borrowed from the original manual. This caused some confusion at the time of the location's true identity, but it is later revealed to refer to a that was not in the original game. The accompanying also shows Fox and Slippy playing what appears to be a variant of the SNES game as a training simulation or in-universe pastime, and the computer interface contains images of Andross' SNES manifestation as his consciousness awakens.

The Japanese website for states that the events of the SNES and N64 games are actually two sides of the same coin, implying their parallel co-existence in the timeline. incorporates the game's main theme in several music tracks as a noticeable leitmotif. The and both return in revamped boss fights, the latter also having a harder version called. Andross is depicted as being focused more on mechanics rather than as in the original game, and his final form reflects this difference. Additionally, the Retro Arwing can be acquired by scanning a Fox amiibo (or earning it), which changes graphical and sound effects including switching the theme of the first level to the SNES version. In addition, before the final level, it is implied in Pepper's revelation about Andross's usage of teleportation technology that Fox's father, James McCloud, was instrumental in sealing Andross and Venom away into an alternate dimension at the cost of his life, which alluded to the backstory of in the game.
