The '''Blaster''' is an energy firing pistol that is kept often by [[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Wolf]]. It was introduced in Super Smash Bros., but it was revealed in [[Star Fox 64]] that Fox always has his blaster with him. During the events in [[Star Fox Adventures]], [[General Pepper]] wouldn't let Fox use it. In [[Star Fox: Assault]], it served as the basic weapon for [[Slippy]], [[Peppy]], and [[Krystal]], as well as Fox, Falco, and Wolf.

In [[Star Fox: Assault]], it served as the basic weapon for [[Slippy]], [[Peppy]], and [[Krystal]], as well as Fox, Falco, and Wolf. It was much larger in Assault, comparable to a small, one-handed carbine weapon rather than a pistol, and was also able to be charged. | ||

The blaster was the main weapon of every character. Similar to the [[Arwing]]'s lasers, the blaster could charge. It had a semi-lock, not a full lock, which meant that the targeting reticle would slightly lock on to the foe and it would change your direction. | The blaster was the main weapon of every character in Assault.

Slippy and Peppy had special abilities which allowed them to charge their blaster's lasers at higher speeds than normal. This is because of their poor running speed. | Slippy and Peppy had special abilities which allowed them to charge their blaster's lasers at higher speeds than normal.

In the first game, Fox fired it at a slow rate and it made those hit by it flinch, stopping them in their tracks. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Fox could shoot it more rapidly and the shots did not make the opponent flinch at all. | ||

Melee, Falco appeared as an unlockable character. His blaster was similar to Fox's blaster from Super Smash Bros, only it fired at a much slower rate of fire, hits for more damage than Fox's blaster, and causes the enemy to flinch. It is also of note than when using his blaster, Falco crosses his arms and holds the blaster parralel to the ground, rather than weilding it in a more orthodox manner. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Falco's blaster fire is blue instead of red. | ||

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wolf uses | In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Wolf uses a customized blaster that bears a resemblance to a certain weapon in the Halo series. It has a small bayonet at the end of the bottom of the gun, which he uses when pulling out the blaster prior to a shot. His shots move slow, are incapable of being fired in rapid sequence like Fox or Falco can, and don't travel as far as Fox or Falco's, but they are much more powerful. His blaster fire has a green color, and the shots are shaped more like bursts rather than beams. | ||
