The '''Blue Marine''', also formatted '''Blue | The '''Blue-Marine''', also formatted '''Blue Marine''', is is a small, experimental, and unpredictable assault submersible designed by [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] and [[Beltino Toad]] that only appears in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''. The vehicle was developed for recreational use by Slippy, although he modified it for battle when [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] told him they would need it for a mission on [[Aquas]]. It was only used on Aquas, where it fought the bioweapon, [[Bacoon]]. | ||
The Blue Marine's defense systems are similar to the [[Arwing]]'s in that it features the same [[Laser]]-firing and [[barrel roll]] capabilities. Its lasers were designed to fire underwater, that can be upgraded to Twin or Hyper, an unlimited torpedo launcher with a built in [[Targeting Computer]] to allow for homing torpedoes, as well as light shields and heavy armor. The Blue Marine was not designed for deep sea missions, so Fox was forced to use [[ | The Blue-Marine's defense systems are similar to the [[Arwing]]'s in that it features the same [[Laser]]-firing and [[barrel roll]] capabilities.

The Blue-Marine was not designed for deep sea missions, so Fox was forced to use [[Torpedo]]es to temporarily give him sight in the dark oceans of Aquas. The propulsion system uses components originally developed for the [[Arwing]], and can synthesize its own hydrogen fuel for the plasma engines, giving it a much greater operational range than normally possible. | ||
