The '''Landmaster''' is the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team's]] tank vehicle. In [[Star Fox 64]], it is used twice. Once on [[Titania]] on a rescue mission for [[Slippy Toad]] and again on [[MacBeth]]. It has hovering capabilities as well as most of the weaponry of an [[Arwing]]. It was developed by [[Beltino Toad|Beltino]] and [[Slippy Toad]]. It appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as the final smash for all three of the Star Fox characters, [[Wolf O'Donnell]] with a [[Star Wolf]] styled Landmaster.
The '''Landmaster''' is a vehicle used by [[Fox McCloud]] in ground-based missions in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', and ''[[Star Fox Zero]]''. The Landmaster is essentially a tank equipped with a laser cannon and a [[G-Diffuser]]. It turns a little slower than other vehicles, although it has a pair of jets that allow it to quickly turn left or right. If both jets are fired simultaneously, the Landmaster can hover upwards for a limited time. The Landmaster retains most the [[Arwing]]'s abilities but does not have the reflecting properties of the [[barrel roll]].

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Landmaster is the Final Smash for the three playable Star Fox characters: Fox, Falco, and Wolf. The Landmaster is designed after both its Star Fox 64 and Star Fox: Assault appearances. Fox's Landmaster shoots the fastest of the three but is somewhat slow at hovering. Falco's Landmaster looks identical to Fox's, but its hovering is improved. Wolf's Landmaster is slightly more powerful and is Wolfen-styled. All three Landmasters are capable of performing a barrel roll.

When the Final Smash is activated, the character jumps to the top of the screen, doing damage to opponents who come in contact with them. They will then fall back down to the stage in their Landmaster. After a short amount of time (18 seconds for Fox or Falco, 12 seconds for Wolf), the Landmaster disappears into a blueprint wire-frame, ending the Final Smash. There are three Landmaster trophies, one for each character:
