It was revealed in an interview with [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] that he had reviewed ''Dinosaur Planet'' and noticed Sabre's design compared to [[Fox]] were strikingly similar, leading to him convincing the team to re-design the game to turn it into an official ''Star Fox'' game. According to lead software engineer Phil Tossell, the sudden change was not accepted willingly by all of the team, as the plot had to be entirely rewritten to accommodate the canon of ''Star Fox''. Originally, the new game was intended to be called ''Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet'', but was later shortened to just ''Star Fox Adventures''.
