Birthed from Shigeru Miyamoto's love of Thunderbirds 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, due to perceived issues with the German company StarVox is a long-running Nintendo Science Fiction space shooter franchise that began in 1993 on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, starring a group of ragtag Funny Animals who are fond of flying spacecrafts known as Arwings and spouting lines that quickly enter Memetic Mutation.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 benevolent mercenaries. Enter Star Fox, consisting of Fox McCloud and his friends Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad. Together, they assist the Cornerian Army in battling the vile Mad Scientist Andross, their villainous counterparts in Star Wolf, and various other threats to their quadrant of the galaxy... all for a small fee, of course. Gotta pay for food and repairs somehow.As of 2019, there are eight games in the franchise. The series has also undergone two separate continuity reboots, resulting in three distinct continuities with their own sequels. Most entries in the franchise are rail shooters, though most titles have experimented with everything from the Third-Person Shooter to Turn-Based Strategy genres, alongside the traditional gameplay. | |

Rescue Romance | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Fox always meets his girlfriend like this. In the original continuity, Fox fell in love with Fara after rescuing her from Andross' soldiers during an attempted hijacking. In the reboot continuity, Fox becomes enamored with Krystal when he sees her trapped in a crystal. After he rescues her at the end of the game, she continually flirts with him. Dummied Out dialogue suggests that this would've been much more overt. | |

Cool Old Guy 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. | |

In Star Fox, continuing resets your Arwing to its lowest level - one laser and no powerups. Depending on how late in the game this happens, you could end up being brutalized by late-game foes. | |

The Rival | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: 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 Assault (Peppy retired gracefully, whereas Pigma was forced off of his own team). Andrew vs. Slippy, more a case of Pairing the Spares. Panther vs. Krystal, both attractive 'ethnic' 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 antiheroic. | |

Theme Music Power-Up: 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. | |

Stuff Blowing Up: The KABOOM of a defeated enemy is really satisfying. Often preceded by Post-Defeat Explosion Chain, and Star Fox 64 bosses have spherical explosions. 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. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: Despite being fighter pilots pulling off all sorts of crazy maneuvers over the course of their missions, none of the Star Fox team are ever depicted wearing flight helmets. Averted for Red Shirt pilots on both the Cornerian and Venomian sides, who both wear helmets as part of their uniform. Star Wolf also plays this straight, as none of them wear helmets either. | |

An example of this from gameplay: originally, any wingmate who was shot down was killed outright. By endgame, a sufficiently poor player could even be left with only a single pilot alive at the endgame. From Star Fox 64 onwards, a wingmate going down means that they'll just return to the docking bay of the Great Fox for a few missions before returning with a fully functioning Arwing. | |

Non-Lethal K.O. | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_41d128e4 | comment |
Non-Lethal K.O.: 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 "NOOO!". 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 seen with bandages and cybernetic eyepieces in your second encounter with them. | |

| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_42c9f1ec | comment |
Not as common as one would suspect, largely thanks to the use of homing lasers, and shot deflection but still used frequently, especially for any encounter with Star Wolf. Especially in Star Fox 64, where the Wolfen is resistant to charged shots and can break lock on by "barrel rolling". Both more so with teh Wolfen II, which is resistant to bombs, and less so since it can also deflect shots with a "barrel roll" like an Arwing. | |

Early Installment Character-Design Difference | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_4348c929 | comment |
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In Star Fox, and its comic tie-in, the Star Fox team is represented in an unapologetically dark and gritty style, focusing on realistic textures and animalistic expressions. Star Fox 2 largely uses the same style as it's forerunner. Star Fox 64 and it's remake both used a much more cartoony look overall, in keeping with the lighter tone. Additionally, in the original game, its manual, and all official media related to it, the entire Star Fox team is clearly and consistently depicted with identical robotic prosthetics for legs - a design trend that persisted as late as their appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. This created a popular fan theory that the characters' legs were replaced with prosthetics to handle extreme G-forces without passing out, which just happens to make sense. Future games clearly depict the team wearing suspiciously large boots instead. | |

When it happens, the cheesy saxophone music playing in the background cuts out with a scratch. | |

The Unfought: Oh boy, were the players upset when the long-awaited fight with General Scales in Star Fox Adventures 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' 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. | |

Single-Biome Planet: Basically everywhere. Corneria is Green Hill Zone. Titania is Shifting Sand Land. Fichina is Slippy-Slidey Ice World. Fortuna is Jungle Japes. Aquas is... just guess. Solar is Lethal Lava Land. The team fly so close to the surface that the Arwings are constantly taking damage in this mission (thankfully the amount of restoration rings are plentiful). Zoness (a Landfill Beyond the Stars) is justified in that Andross has apparently been using it as his personal waste dump. This leaves the crewmen simply aghast when they arrive there: | |

In their Assault suits, Fox kept green, Falco became red, Slippy yellow, and Krystal blue. | |

Conveniently an Orphan Fox. His dad was killed by Andross (They Never Found the Body). The Nintendo Power comic tie-in reveals that Andross killed his mother as well, in an earlier attempt to kill his father. Krystal one-ups Fox by losing her entire planet as part of her origin. How this happened hasn't been made fully clear yet, however, the fact that she recognized Andross shortly before she got sealed in a magic crystal 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. Except Katt. | |

In their cameo appearances in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Panther attempts flirting with Krystal.

You're such a gentleman, Panther', sounded very sarcastic to say the least. In the Japanese version, it's apparently a different matter: Krystal appears to be sincere. | |

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. | |

Graceful Landing, Clumsy Landing: Star Fox: Assault: In the takeoff sequence, the first three pilots, Fox, Falco, and Krystal, all leap gracefully into their cockpits. Slippy, well known as The Load and least competent fighter despite being a Gadgeteer Genius, faceplants into his. Star Fox Zero: In the animated trailer, the Star Fox pilots all jump into their aircrafts. Fox lands gracefully in his seat, Falco does a stylish flip, Peppy lands face first in his cockpit, and Slippy misses his ship altogether and lands on the floor. | |

Nintendo Hard: Star Fox 64 on Expert. The "Easy" side of Venom (approaching from Bolse) is possibly the most gratuitously vicious 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. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: Andross's return from exile is always explained... the explanations get worse and worse with each successive reboot. In Timeline 1, he found an inhabited planet full of primitive, gullible people, massive resources, and technologically advanced ruins to build a military with◊. In Timeline 2, he turned a barren and deserted planet into a fully industrialised war factory in only five years. Where he got the resources and manpower to do so is left entirely unexplained. In Timeline 3, 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 his ability to revive himself using the Krazoa spirits. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: 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? Crash that mother of a ship through the barrier so the crew could get through. 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. He and ROB survived. Apparently, the tip of the Great Fox also works as an escape pod... despite crashing tip-first into the Aparoid ship. 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 if that is anything to go by. Thanks to Anyone Can Die, this can be anyone's fate in the original Star Fox and its sequel, depending on the player's actions. | |

Disneyfication | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_64f3ea6e | comment |
Almost to a point of Disneyfication: the original Star Fox, its tie-in comic and its sequel were all much darker than anything made after Star Fox 64 rebooted the series. 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. Star Fox: Assault, Star Fox Command and Starlink: Battle for Atlas are all more thematically intense than Star Fox 64 was, but even then the series has never been as dark as the original continuity. | |

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. | |

Kaizo Trap | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_75f38750 | comment |
Kaizo Trap 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. | |

Good Prosthetic, Evil Prosthetic: All of the members of Team Star Fox possess identical metal prosthetics. Though this was originally a gaffe thought up by the developers as a way to justify the design choice to give them human-like legs, the g-force explanation was provided by various fans of the series because it [[https://www.douglasbaderfoundation.com/dbf/who-we-are/sir-douglas-bader just happens to be a common real world belief that those with them will better endure the G-force their line of work entails. This belief persists in spite of increasing challenges to it in the scientific community, and the question of G defusers rendering it moot in Star Fox. In contrast, many of the bad guys possess artificial body parts varying in variety. Andross survives his battle in Star Fox and reappears with a false eye in Star Fox 2. General Scales from Star Fox Adventures possesses a primitive two-hooked false hand. Fox's rival Wolf O'Donnell has worn an eye patch through most of the series, ungrading to a technological false eye by Star Fox: Assault. | |

Badass Biker: 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 and personality. 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. | |

Space Whale: In Star Fox, 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 Nintendo Power comic, this is said to actually be the visual manifestation of a trans-dimensional spaceship that saved Fox's father, leaving him permanently shifted to that dimension. | |

Airborne Aircraft Carrier: 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 Star Fox 64 through to its destruction in Star Fox: Assault, other motherships were used by the team in both Star Fox 2 and Star Fox Command. | |

I Got You Covered This happens in nearly every Star Fox game. A notable one occurs in Star Fox Adventures, when Falco comes to help Fox during the final boss fight. Star Wolf also does an important role since Mission 7 in Assault, with Star Fox ultimately failing had they not intervened in succeeding missions. At least one level in Star Fox 64 has the Great Fox cover you. | |

Not Me This Time In Assault: Star Wolf was initially suspected of being involved in Pigma's theft of the Core Memory. Turns out that, not only were they not involved at all, but they actually kicked Pigma off the team long before it happened. Also a meta-example in the same game: Thanks to the events of Star Fox Adventures, 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. | |

Big Bad | |

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 Big Bad (Anglar Emperor) in two possible endings, both of which are the least likely of any to be canon. And even so, he is still destroyed at the end of the fight. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
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? Crash that mother of a ship through the barrier so the crew could get through. 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. He and ROB survived. Apparently, the tip of the Great Fox also works as an escape pod... despite crashing tip-first into the Aparoid ship. | |

Continuity Nod 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 is striving to become a good Big Bad like his uncle was. His ship even transforms into a big head with two flying fists as a Call-Back to Andross's boss fight. Falco is not impressed. | |

Friendly Fireproof | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_9e8aa11e | comment |
Friendly Fireproof In the original Star Fox and Star Fox: Assault, 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. | |

One-Man Army | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: 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, Peppy demonstrates that he can singlehandedly destroy a Superdreadnought and its fighter squadrons with just his Arwing. It's safe to say the Star Fox pilots are all the best damn pilots in the galaxy. Or at least the Lylat system. Even Slippy. | |

Sarcasm Mode | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_9f80e1da | comment |
Sarcasm Mode: 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 Star Fox Adventures. 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, Panther 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. In the Japanese version, it's apparently a different matter: Krystal appears to be sincere. 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 is sarcastic one time during Assault. If you fail to shoot the missiles that come your way during Mission 7. | |

Lizard Folk: 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. | |

Homage One of the Star Fox 64 levels is inspired by the movie Independence Day. Another level features Mobile Suit Gundam-like enemies. Both elements show up again, to a degree, in Command. Some lines might well pay homage to Star Wars (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 Toku show Star Wolf. | |

Celibate Hero: Falco, based on a Fan Scanlation of Farewell, Beloved Falco.

Falco responds that he doesn't have, and is wholly uninterested in lovers. 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. | |

Work Off the Debt: The underlying conflict that causes most of the games in the franchise is trying to pay a ridiculously high debt that James took as an 80-year loan to build the Great Fox. Perhaps because of Fox's rash decisions in trying to uphold his mercenary life, the team constantly veers into bankruptcy at least twice, causing conflicts within the team (Falco ditching the team prior Adventures was one of them). | |

Clip Its Wings | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_aecacbd5 | comment |
Clip Its Wings: In some of the games, Arwings can lose their wings when damaged, 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. | |

Hired Guns the Star Fox team and Star Wolf are both Private Military Contractors. 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. | |

Aerith and Bob: Character names in this series fall into two categories: either the name is directly related to the character's species (eg. their name is a pun reflecting their species, note Leon the Chameleon, Slippy the Frog. or their species is literally their name, 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. In addition, some characters have animal-themed surnames like Hare and Toad, while others have distinctly European surnames like McCloud, Lombardi, Caruso, O'Donnell etc. | |

Color-Coded Characters | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_bb660963 | comment |
Color-Coded Characters: This is done so you know who needs rescuing. In Star Fox: Assault, Fox is yellow, Falco is blue, Slippy is green, Peppy is red, and Krystal is purple. Taken even further in Star Fox Command, where all characters were assigned a color to their ship and trail on the map. The games play with Chromatic Arrangement 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. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Brutal Bonus Level: "Out of This Dimension," from the first game. Good luck getting to it at all, but once you do, the level has rather bizarre enemies, and there is no help from your wingmen. The boss is a Luck-Based Mission (which is justified, seeing as how it's a giant inter-dimensional slot machine), and once you beat the boss, the game doesn't actually end. 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. | |

True Companions: 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 removed the two most disloyal characters from his original team, replacing them with the loyal, funny-personified Panther, and the team's been solid since. | |

Continuing is Painful | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: In Star Fox, continuing resets your Arwing to its lowest level - one laser and no powerups. Depending on how late in the game this happens, you could end up being brutalized by late-game foes. 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. Usually. The times they don't (Venom 2's dogfight against Star Wolf, for example) dive right into this trope. Special mention goes toStar Fox 2: you get two Arwing pilots to start, and can switch between them freely to mitigate damage. "Continuing" means a pilot got shot down, and the remaining pilot must continue alone. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Star Fox series seems to have a number of reciprocal Shout Outs in relation to F-Zero. 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. Then Star Fox Command references F-Zero yet again, where one of its nine possible Multiple Endings has Fox and Falco becoming racers in a high-speed racing league called G-ZERO Grand Prix. In the first game, the team's hyperspace jump between the Asteroid Field and the Space Armada is clearly inspired by the Star Wars films. On the SNES, the main villain Andross' design looks remarkably similar to the recurring boss that you fight in the 1983 Arcade Games I, Robot. Even the anime series F-Zero: Falcon Densetsu / GP Legend has "O'Donnell" being referenced as James's deceased friend. General Pepper not only owes his name, but also his very outfit, to the landmark album by The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lampshaded in the Nintendo Power comic◊. Captain Shears, a character from Farewell, Beloved Falco, is similar in both physical appearance and attire to Pepper and appears to have a name derived from "Billy Shears", the fictitious leader of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Falco is wearing Captain Falcon's boots in one of the Command endings. In Farewell, Beloved Falco, one of the FREE AS A BIRD members (Falco and Katt's old gang of space hot-rodders) is Mousor — as seen on the back of his jacket. Similarly, there is a Bowsor. In Star Fox Assault, there are classic Namco arcade references and cameos littered throughout the game, one being the yellow "S" flag from Rally-X; after all, Namco did develop this game. In Star Fox 64, shortly after you enter Meteo's Warp Zone, you'll be treated to several waves of bee/butterfly-like enemies that fly in formations very reminiscent of Galaga. You get bonuses if you can nail them all. Star Fox 64 has Katina, which is pretty much the climax scene from Independence Day, complete with Bill Grey, a nod to Gen. William Grey, Robert Loggia's character in the movie. The Atomic Base bosses and Fox's escape from Andross' lair are reminiscent of the Death Star II assault in Return of the Jedi. The boss of Sector X says, "Where is the creator?", and in its death throes also says, "I must be complete." This references V'ger from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Nintendo Power's Star Fox comic featured Andross's android pig Andross named Herbert. His design was an obvious parody of the RX-78-2 of Mobile Suit Gundam. | |

Killed Off for Real | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_cda501da | comment |
Killed Off for Real: 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 actually dead. James McCloud may or may not be dead, since they Never Found the Body. According to the SNES comic and Star Fox Zero, he is revealed to still be alive, but trapped in an Another Dimension. Vixy Reinard and Vivian Hare are both dead before the story begins. Pretty much all of the bosses in Star Fox 64 minus Andross and Star Wolf 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. The entire aparoid race gets exterminated. 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 Big Bad (Anglar Emperor) in two possible endings, both of which are the least likely of any to be canon. And even so, he is still destroyed at the end of the fight. 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. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Almost to a point of Disneyfication: the original Star Fox, its tie-in comic and its sequel were all much darker than anything made after Star Fox 64 rebooted the series. 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. Star Fox: Assault, Star Fox Command and Starlink: Battle for Atlas 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 killed outright. By endgame, a sufficiently poor player could even be left with only a single pilot alive at the endgame. From Star Fox 64 onwards, a wingmate going down means that they'll just return to the docking bay of the Great Fox for a few missions before returning with a fully functioning Arwing. | |

Escort Mission | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission 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 Great Fox, from all enemy units, including missiles that specifically target it. Most players agree that it gets tedious very quickly. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: 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. Wait! 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 just how much flak he catches from just about everyone for dumping her. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale The Lyat System apparently orbitiong around a type be blue super giant raises the question of just how it formed in the first place This video briefly analyzes the Landmaster. Apparently it's an enormous target with relatively thin armor. No wonder Falco prefers the sky. The video does fail to mention the Landmaster has an Energy Shield in the place of armor and the fact that the armor could easily be an advanced alloys far stronger than anything the modern military uses. Never understimate Applied Phlebotinum. | |

Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: It's not clear what kind of fox Krystal is supposed to be.◊ 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 ''Star Fox 64 3D'' Iwata Asks, Falco is actually a pheasant, which would make his head, at least, very accurate. 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. | |

Expy | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: There are tons of them throughout the series: Mobile Suit Gundam - The unnamed carrier from Star Fox 2 both looks and functions like the White Base, and the Cannon Betrayers◊ from the same game very closely resemble Zeon's Rewloola-class 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 mobile suits backed by capital ships. The boss of the level looks like a more simian version of the RX-78-2, and about two-thirds of the way through the mission you encounter a red-painted version of the normal attacking mecha that moves three times faster than the others. As an added bonus, while not the pilot of the red mech, the boss is also wearing sunglasses. Also, in the Benimaru Itoh comic, one model of the android pig Herbert is a clear RX-78 homage. Star Trek - In Star Fox 2, the homing shots fired by Star Wolf pilots look and function exactly like Photon Torpedoes. In addition, the aparoids of Star Fox Assault are an expy of the Borg. They also steal some lines and tropes from straight from them. "Resistance is useless!" Star Wars - In Star Fox, the Space Armada'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 Independence Day, right down to the location of their weak point. Tricky resembles another triceratops called Tricky from another Rare-developed game: Diddy Kong Racing. | |

Artistic License – Space: According to official sources, the Lylat System orbits a B-type blue giant star which contains more than four habitable planets. However, in Real Life, 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. | |

| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_f1d6144a | comment |
War Is Hell: Though the tone of the franchise has substantially lightened up compared to what it once was, most installments in this series surprisingly don't play around with the war themes. Characters die in horrible ways, entire worlds like are left devastated by conflict. Some examples: Corneria, a once beautiful, now utterly war-torn world that in some games can be destroyed in horrific fashion. Zoness, another formerly beautiful planet that was used by Andross as a dump for industrial waste. Venom, a planet that had it's entire environment reduced to a toxic wasteland by Andross' military buildup. The Aparoid Homeworld. Krystal remarks that it's beautiful... then we see the side the Aparoids are infesting. Then it gets destroyed. | |

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 Tricky enough, though, he'll try to hurt you back with his Flame command. Command averts this entirely, if you don't count any of the game's questionable path choices as some form of cruelty towards the characters. | |

In Star Fox 64, shortly after you enter Meteo's Warp Zone, you'll be treated to several waves of bee/butterfly-like enemies that fly in formations very reminiscent of Galaga. You get bonuses if you can nail them all. | |

Do a Barrel Roll: The Trope Namer, although it isn't an actual barrel roll. | |

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 execute a banking turn in a supposedly zero-gravity vacuum environment. | |

Canon Immigrant: Krystal. She was originally the protagonist of Dinosaur Planet before it was repurposed into a Star Fox game. | |

Cores-and-Turrets Boss | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_fd206d08 | comment |
Cores-and-Turrets Boss Bolse is a level long example in Star Fox 64. Also the "Atomic Base" cores in the first game, which inspired similar structures in Zero. | |

Old-School Dogfight | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_fdeed2aa | comment |
Old-School Dogfight Not as common as one would suspect, largely thanks to the use of homing lasers, and shot deflection but still used frequently, especially for any encounter with Star Wolf. Especially in Star Fox 64, where the Wolfen is resistant to charged shots and can break lock on by "barrel rolling". Both more so with teh Wolfen II, which is resistant to bombs, and less so since it can also deflect shots with a "barrel roll" like an Arwing. 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 execute a banking turn in a supposedly zero-gravity vacuum environment. | |

Mighty Whitey | |
| Star Fox (Franchise) / int_fed07537 | comment |
Mighty Whitey: Whether or not one assumes that Fox is coded "white" (which his overall green-eyed redheadness would seem to imply), the entire adventure on Dinosaur Planet still fits this trope. Krystal - not being native to Dinosaur Planet - would have been this in the original game. | |
