The ThornTail Store is a store run by the ShopKeeper at ThornTail Hollow in Star Fox Adventures. Fox McCloud can purchase items from this location with Scarabs.

Layout

The ThornTail Store has a foyer with five pathways, two of which lead to the Scarab Room, and the other three are shopping rooms: the Blue Room, Red Room, and Purple Room. The shopping rooms all have a uniquely-colored lighting, hence their names. The pathway entrances are in the shape of an inequilateral hexagon and are covered by a thin curtain. Their thresholds are also surrounded by a curved, colored stripe. A small sign hangs above every entrance, indicating the contents of each room. A well is located in the center of the main room, where Fox can purchase a Cheat Token.

The Scarab Room can be accessed from both the leftmost and rightmost pathways of the main room. In this room, Scarabs can be gambled with the ShopKeeper. First he asks the amount of Scarabs to be gambled, with the maximum of ten. He then throws the desired number of Green Scarabs into the play area, from where they have to be collected within 30 seconds. The catch is, that he also frees the same amount of Purple Scarabs in the play area, which when collected, result in losing the bet. The amount of Scarabs lost is reduced by the amount of Green ones collected before stumbling into a Purple one. For example, with a 10 Scarab bet, and only four collected Scarabs before getting a Purple one, will result in six Scarab loss. The bet is won if all Green ones are collected. The prize is rather unsurprisingly the amount of Scarabs gambled. Playing the game actually costs nothing unless a bet is lost.

The Blue Room can be entered from the second pathway from the left. This room sells common items such as PukPuk Eggs.

The Red Room can be entered from the center pathway. It sells unique items, most of which Fox is required to purchase at some point of his adventure. The Red Room also sells a few maps.

The Purple Room can be entered from the second pathway from the right. This room only sells maps, aside from the four in the red room.

Trivia

  • If Fox talks to the ThornTail in front of the WarpStone area's entrance before leaving for DarkIce Mines, he asks Fox if he has visited the "Warp Stone Shop". This may have been an earlier name for the ThornTail Store.
