[[File:General Pepper Adventures.png|thumb|left|General Pepper assigns Fox to rescue Dinosaur Planet]] | |||
Eight years after [[Andross]]'s first defeat, Krystal investigates the destruction of her home planet, Cerinia, and the death of her parents. Krystal hears a distress call from [[Krazoa Palace]] and decides to respond to it. While traveling on a [[CloudRunner Tribe|CloudRunner]], a fireball blasts her [[Krystal's Staff|staff]] out of her hand from a [[General Scales' Galleon|galleon ship]]. On board, Krystal discovers that her home planet was attacked by [[General Scales]]. She loses her Krystal is persuaded by a wounded [[EarthWalker Tribe|EarthWalker]] to obtain the [[Krazoa Spirit]]s and return them to the palace. After acquiring and releasing the first Krazoa Spirit, however, a mysterious being sends Krystal into the spirit's path, trapping her in a floating crystal atop the palace. | |||
Meanwhile, on the edge of the [[Lylat System]], [[General Pepper]] contacts the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team, asking [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] to investigate [[Sauria|Dinosaur Planet]]. Since the team are desperate for money and maintenance, Fox agrees to have a look. He goes unarmed at the request of General Pepper, as his mission is "about saving the planet, not blowing it up". | |||
At [[ThornTail Hollow]], Fox finds Krystal's Staff in the ground and wields it. Shortly after, he meets the [[Queen EarthWalker]], who tells him that Scales stole four [[SpellStone]]s two of the [[Force Point Temple]]s, which caused the planet to tear apart. She tell Fox to meet the [[WarpStone]] and rescue her son, [[Prince Tricky]], at [[Ice Mountain]]. After Fox rescues Tricky, he becomes Fox's sidekick for a remainder of his adventure. | |||
As Fox retrieves the SpellStones, he realizes that the planet can only truly reunite itself if he retrieves the other five Krazoa Spirits. The final Krazoa Spirit is guarded by [[General Scales]] himself. Just before Fox and Scales engage in combat, a mysterious voice orders Scales to surrender the spirit, to which he reluctantly agrees. Fox takes the spirit to the Krazoa Shrine and the six Krazoa Spirits free Krystal from her prison. | |||
The Krazoa Spirits are forced into the head of a massive Krazoa statue, who comes to life and reveals itself to be the revived [[Andross]], the mastermind behind the spirit scheme. He flies off into space to resume his conquest of the Lylat System. During the final fight, [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] appears out of nowhere and assists Fox in fighting Andross. After Andross's defeat, the Krazoa Spirits return to a restored and renewed Dinosaur Planet. Falco decides to rejoin the Star Fox team, and Krystal becomes a newly-recruited member. | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
[[File:SharpClaw Adventures combat.png|thumb|200px|A main gameplay aspect involves Fox fighting SharpClaws]] | |||
''Star Fox Adventures'' is notable for being a departure from the rail-shooter genre that the series had been established upon. Fox moves around Dinosaur Planet and the four SpellStone areas on foot, and the locations are set in three-dimensional environments, where Fox must collect items and solve puzzles as he goes along. There are a few instances where Fox does pilot his [[Arwing]], but only for traveling between the different areas of the planet. | |||
The gameplay is heavily based on ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Fox is unable to jump unless he runs off the edge of an object or a cliff, and can roll after landing on the ground, in the same fashion that Link jumps off edges. ''Star Fox Adventures'' also has a day-and-night phase, but a more accurate and gradual one. A key difference with ''Star Fox Adventures'' is that Fox automatically acquires his targets by approaching them, unlike ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', which requires manual [[zeldawiki:Targeting|targeting]]. | |||
In [[ThornTail Hollow]], the hub location on Dinosaur Planet itself, Fox finds [[Krystal's Staff]] sticking out of the ground. After pulling it out, Fox uses staff for his main weapon during the rest of his adventure (as General Pepper prohibited him from using his Blaster). The staff itself is mostly used in combat, but with [[Staff Upgrade]]s, Fox can use the Staff to perform additional tasks, including firing projectiles, freezing enemies, or boosting up to higher areas. | |||
