Another year passed and Fox was next seen in the Great Fox with his fellow team members flying into [[Fortuna|Fortunian]] space to assist the defense force against an insurgency led by Andross's nephew, [[Andrew Oikonny]]. Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Krystal chased the ape to the planet's surface and even to his base. When they finally confront him, Oikonny's ship had taken a similar form to Andross. Fox almost destroyed the machine when another laser seared through the head of the robot. Fox's team flew towards the origin of the laser and found an enormous robotic moth. After a wearisome battle, Fox destroyed the moth's wings and retrieved a strange orb from its head under Peppy's orders. The four made a retreat after an entire army of moths appeared in the skies. | |||
Upon briefing, Peppy revealed that the moth the team had faced was something called an [[Aparoid]], a strange monster that operated on a hive mind. Fox's team was then sent to Katina to answer a distress signal. While Falco, Krystal, and Slippy stayed in the air, Fox went to the base and took out dozens of Aparoids and Aparoid Hatchers. Upon the destruction of the final hatcher, an enormous Aparoid with a similar orb called a Core Memory attacked Fox. Using a [[Landmaster]], Fox defeated the creature and exposed the Core Memory. Before he could retrieve the core, the distress signal stopped transmitting and a ship flew out of the base. The ship belonged to Pigma, who proceeded to steal and fly off with the Core Memory. The Star Fox team followed Pigma to the [[Sargasso Space Hideout]]. Here Falco and Krystal delt with the space fighters, while Fox and Slippy destroyed a series of enemy transporter devices. After the transporters were destroyed the leader of the hideout, Wolf O'Donnell and his team. A quick dogfight once again left Wolf's team coming out below Star Fox. With information from Star Wolf, Star Fox heads out to [[Fichina]]. | |||

Fox arrived on Fichina to find that the climate control center has been shut down by Pigma. Using a Landmaster, Fox destroyed the energy sources of the three shield generators that defend the center. Upon entering, Fox reactivates the climate control device, but he is then attacked by the security bots. He is saved by Falco after a short amount of time of defending himself and hopped on Falco's Arwing until Peppy could send him an Arwing. At that time, Slippy analyzed the security bots and found they were possessed by Aparoids. Pigma proceeded to escape and awaken an Aparoid that had possessed the climate device, causing it to go on a countdown to explosion. Fox forgot about Pigma and fires as many Smart Bombs into the device as possible, stopping the countdown and saving the device. He then followed Pigma to the [[Meteo Asteroid Belt]] where Pigma had built a new base for himself and the Aparoids. Fox and his team cleared the base to find Pigma's ship floating empty in space. Close by was a strange machine with Pigma, infected by Aparoids, seemingly swallowed by the enormous weapon. Fox managed to destroy the strange amalgation of machine and pig and retrieved the Core Memory. | Fox arrived on Fichina to find that the climate control center has been shut down by Pigma.

Fox's team was then contacted by General Pepper who told them that they were able to find the location of the [[Aparoid Homeworld]]. Before Fox could go, Krystal received a telepathic message from Tricky on Sauria asking for help in dealing with an Aparoid invasion. Fox reached the planet to find no living Dinosaurs and any living ones in hiding. The planet had been infested with Aparoid Hatchers which Fox and Krystal were sent down to destroy. After destroying the hatchers, Fox and Krystal found Tricky, who poked fun at Fox and Krystal's obvious relationship and asked them to come back on their honeymoon. Fox, embarrassed, denied everything and Krystal stopped the fight. | Fox's team was then contacted by General Pepper who told them that they were able to find the location of the [[Aparoid Homeworld]].

After returning to the Great Fox, Fox received news from General Pepper. Corneria City had been destroyed by an Aparoid invasion that had nearly wiped out the Corneria Defense Force. Fox arrived on the ground to destroy a series of radar jammers, while his teammates had to deal with Cornerian soldiers infected by Aparoids. Fox destroyed the jammers using his [[Sniper Rifle]] and Peppy sent him an Arwing so he could join the air fight. Fox arrived to find the Arwing Peppy had sent him destroyed and himself surrounded by Aparoids. At the last moment, Wolf flew in and saved Fox, saying that he only came so he could kill Fox himself later. Fox rode on Wolf's Wolfen wing and destroyed many Aparoids before the General's flagship approached on the horizon with Pepper flying it, but both were infected by the Aparoids. The General told Fox that there was no choice but to destroy him. Fox reluctantly did as his friend commanded and shot down the General's flagship. Against all recommendation, Peppy had flown in an Arwing between the ground and General's path to save him. With the General out of commission, Fox and company flew to the [[Beltino Orbital Gate]] where they would warp to the Aparoid Homeworld. Unfortunately, the space station was then targeted by over a dozen Aparoid missiles, but they were quickly destroyed by Star Fox and Star Wolf, who then proceeded through the warp gate. | After returning to the Great Fox, Fox received news from General Pepper.

Fox and Falco followed Wolf to Sector Y only to find him gone and the remains of the robot that had absorbed Pigma. Fox attacked Pigma had made an alliance with Wolf. The duo destroyed Pigma, but Fox lost all hope when he heard the message Star Wolf broadcast across the system. When he realized everything Wolf's team had taken from him, Fox suggested that he and Falco leave the Lylat system and go to the planet Papetoon. Fox lived on Papetoon, but only barely as he rarely ate and was often in and out of sickness. Falco soon had the idea of the two joining the G-Zero racing division. There, Fox and Falco became household names and they left behind the memories of Star Fox. | |||

Fox returns in the second game, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. This time, his character build is based on his appearance in the original ''Star Fox'' game. He is once again the second fastest character in the game behind Captain Falcon. Fox's blaster now allows for rapid fire, but no longer stuns the enemy. He also can now use the move Fox Illusion, which allows Fox to rush forward extremely fast, leaving blue Fox mirages behind him. His up and down special moves remain the same from the original game. | Fox returns in the second game, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

Once again, Fox returns as a starter character in the latest game in the series, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He was the first character to be revealed after game's unveiling trailer.<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/fox.html</ref> Fox's character build this time comes from ''Star Fox Command'', but with a more realistic looking appearance. This makes him similar to [[zeldawiki:Toon Link|Toon Link]] in terms of character build construction. While his speed remained the same, the addition of [[smashwiki:Sonic|Sonic]] and [[metroidwiki:Zero Suit Samus|Zero Suit Samus]] lowered him to fourth top speed. All his special moves are mostly the same as they were in ''Melee'' with his standard moves getting some new animations. His Final Smash summons a Landmaster Tank allowing him to blast and roll over enemies. | Once again, Fox returns as a starter character in the latest game in the series, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

Fox's Arwing crash landed by a lake shore in a jungle. The wreckage was soon found by [[mariowiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]], who was then attacked by the legendary Pokemon, [[bulbapedia:Rayquaza|Rayquaza]]. Fox ejected from his Arwing just in time to save Diddy from the dragon. The two then teamed up to defeat Rayquaza. Fox intended to go it alone after the battle, but Diddy constantly asked him to help him save Donkey Kong. Fox continued to say no, but was soon dragged away by Diddy. The two fought through the jungle until they found a false [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]]. Fox and Diddy defeated Bowser only to realize it was a clone. The real Bowser shot Fox with a Dark Cannon, but Fox dodged and carried Diddy away from Bowser. | Fox's Arwing crash landed by a lake shore in a jungle.

Fox and Diddy are later seen fighting through another part of the jungle. Fox watched as Diddy was ambushed by Bowser and turned into a trophy. Fox was then targeted by Bowser, but dodged until Falco came to his rescue. Diddy was then possessed by a group of Shadow Bugs by Bowser and untrophified by Fox. The three defeated the giant false Diddy while Bowser escaped. Diddy then attempted to get Falco to help him find Diddy. Fox told Falco that he should agree, but Falco didn't listen and was also dragged away by Diddy. Fox then called the Great Fox for transportation. | Fox and Diddy are later seen fighting through another part of the jungle. Fox watched as Diddy was ambushed by Bowser and turned into a trophy.

Fox had seperated from Falco and Diddy and went after the Halberd again. He was shot again by the Halberd, but kept the Arwing in the sky this time. Fox blasted the Halberd's cannon, nearly hitting Peach, who was scaling the Halberd's bridge with [[zeldawiki:Sheik|Sheik]]. To defend [[mariowiki:Peach|Princess Peach]], Sheik used her Vanish technique to appear on Fox's Arwing and shatter the cockpit glass sending both Fox and herself plummeting to the Halberd. The two rushed each other, but Peach interuptted, and offered both a cup of hot tea. Fox was caught off guard, but accepted when he saw that Sheik had taken some. After they finished, they were surprised by a group of false [[mariowiki:Mr. Game and Watch|Mr. Game and Watches]] falling from the bridge. The Shadow Bugs that made up the false characters combined to form the massive robot named Duon. Fox, Peach, and Sheik were soon joined by [[bulbapedia:Lucario|Lucario]] and Snake. Falco also joined after finishing his mission with Diddy. The seven heroes defeated Duon and, when Mr. Game and Watch's trophy appeared, Fox pointed his blaster at it, but Peach stopped him and woke up Mr. Game and Watch. | Fox had seperated from Falco and Diddy and went after the Halberd again.

Fox met up with the other heroes after the destruction of the Isle of Ancients. His Arwing was one of the several ships that escaped the destruction of the Halberd and Fox followed Kirby and the other ships into Subspace. After clearing part of Subspace, Fox and the other heroes found Tabuu defeating [[zeldawiki:Ganondorf|Ganondorf]]. All the heroes were immediately defeated by Tabuu's Off Wave attack. Fox was found and awoken by [[wikirby:King Dededed|King Dedede]], [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]], and [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] and teamed up with other heroes saved by Dedede's team and the heroes saved by Kirby and fought Tabuu. Fox and the other heroes defeated Tabuu and all the Subspace portals disappeared. The heroes that defeated Tabuu, including Fox then looked from a cliff at where the floating Isle of Ancients used to be. | |||

Fox, as one of the original twelve fighters, appears once more in the fourth installment of the series and is unlocked from the start. He retains most of his moveset from Brawl, with a few minor tweaks. His model is also mostly unchanged from Brawl, with an altered blaster, better fur texture, and an overall brighter scheme to match the game's art direction. | Fox, as one of the original twelve fighters, appears once more in the fourth installment of the series and is unlocked from the start.
