| | |
| The '''Star Fox Team''' is a legendary team of mercenaries which has repeatedly defended the [[Lylat System]] in times of peril. The team has evolved radically over the years, as well as the equipment they've used. Founded by [[James McCloud]], the leadership passed through to his son, [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], after his apparent death.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| [[Image:Original star fox team.jpg|frame|left|The legendary Star Fox team, including [[Peppy Hare]], [[James McCloud]], and [[Pigma Dengar]].]]
| |
| The Star Fox Team was founded by James McCloud and his best friend, [[Peppy Hare]]. Shortly into their new career, they were joined by a new member: [[Pigma Dengar]]. The team flew abound the Lylat, finding work wherever they were. They earned so much that James decided to upgrade the team's headquarters and purchased the building rights to a new mother-ship that would transport the trio about the System.
| |
| | |
| ===The Lylat Wars===
| |
| [[Image:Star Fox Team.jpg|frame|The Group in [[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]].]]
| |
| Meanwhile, a scientist named [[Andross]] was banished to the far, desolate planet of [[Venom]] for performing dangerous experiments in Corneria.
| |
| ====Occurrence at Venom====
| |
| Strange occurrences began to surface over from Venom. Wanting to know what was going on, [[General Pepper]] of the [[Cornerian Army]] hired the team to investigate. When they arrived at the planet, Pigma betrayed the team, blasting off his wing-mates' wings and leaving them unable to maneuver. He left them and turned them over to Andross, who had payed the pig a larger sum of money than he had ever before received. Peppy was able to escape, but his friend James was not. Peppy returned to Corneria and informed Pepper of the danger Andross posed to the Lylat System. He also told James's son Fox of his father's fate. He took Fox under his wing and guided him in his quest to become a pilot.
| |
| | |
| ====The New Star Fox Team====
| |
| Years later, [[Venomian Army|Andross's forces]] began to gather strength, and war was imminent. Pepper decided to re-form the Star Fox team, and set up a extremely high budget around it. With new weapons, an [[ROB 64|automated robot]], and James's ''[[Great Fox]]'' finally complete, Pepper recreated the team, with the now 18-year-old Fox McCloud as the new leader. With his dear friend Peppy, Fox chose new members, including the skilled mechanic [[Slippy Toad]] and former gang member [[Falco Lombardi]].
| |
| [[Image:Group.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The classic Star Fox Team]]
| |
| Starting at Corneria, the team fought through Andross's minions throughout the Lylat, making its way to Venom: Andross's base. Several times, they encountered the infamous [[Star Wolf]] and accumulated quite some time in dogfighting with them. Finally, the crew made it to Andross's base, where Fox single-handedly defeated the warlord.
| |
| | |
| The team returned to Corneria, where Pepper commended them and offered them positions in the [[Cornerian Army]]. Fox denied his offer, claiming they preferred working solo. They flew off, looking for jobs just as they had in the days of old, looking forward to a bright future.
| |
| | |
| ===Troubles in the Lylat===
| |
| The team flew some missions freelance during the years following the Cornerian-Venomian conflict, but since the Cornerian Army was able to take care of most of the remaining threats at this point, the missions that required hiring the Starfox team were few and far between, so time passed rather slowly for the crew.
| |
| | |
| Four years after the Lylat Wars, following a close call on Titania that involved Andross's revival, Falco left the team in search of a solo career. The ''Great Fox'' and the Arwings became very aged while ROB also suffered from lack of new parts and had trouble keeping himself together, being constantly in dire need of repair. Peppy retired from active flight duty but remained as mentor. Slippy traded in his role as active pilot and and went on to developing various weapons and gadgets for the Cornerian forces.
| |
| | |
| ====The Saurian Crisis====
| |
| [[Image:Group1.jpg{{!}}thumbnail{{!}}300px|The Star Fox Team after Falco left]]
| |
| Eight years after the [[Lylat Wars]], the team received a briefing from General Pepper of a crisis at [[Sauria]]: chunks of the planet had broken off and might have posed a threat to the welfare of the Lylat System. Realizing their finances needed improvement, alongside their aged vehicles and weapons, Fox, Slippy and Peppy eagerly took the job and traveled to Sauria, then known only as the Dinosaur Planet. However, only Fox made contact with the planet while Peppy stayed behind to work on his maps and Slippy continued work on developments gave Fox vital advice. By the end of the mission on the planet Falco rejoins after saving Fox from being used as Andross's chew toy.
| |
| | |
| ====Aparoid Invasion====
| |
| A year after the incident with Sauria, the StarFox team returned to its prime state. The Great Fox, Arwings, Landmasters and ROB all were completely repaired with sleeker designs and various other modifications. Krystal also joined the team as its only telepathic member. The team was allowed to help the Cornerian Army defeat the last of Andrew's forces. They then hunted down Pigma, saved Sauria from annihilation and destroyed the Aparoids.
| |
| | |
| ====The Anglar Blitz====
| |
| Almost two years after the Aparoid invasion the StarFox team once again went into decline as the whole team went their separate ways with only Fox and ROB staying on. Falco left to find the thrills which he had during the past events which mirrors what he did before the incident on Sauria. Slippy left because he fell in love. Peppy was appointed the new General of the Cornerian Army after Pepper became confined to his sickbed. Krystal disappeared after being ashamed and heart-broken when Fox asked her to step down from the team. And the Great Fox, which was destroyed during the Aparoid invasion, has been replaced by a new model which is considerably weaker, but does include long range missiles.
| |
| | |
| During the Anglar attack on the system the StarFox team rejoin in most storylines and one includes Amanda, Slippy's fiancée, joining the team, although it is currently unknown which story ending is the true one, as is whether the Anglar Blitz in itself ever happened.
| |
| | |
| ====The Future of the Team====
| |
| [[File:NewStarfox.png|frame|The New Star Fox team lead by Marcus McCloud.]]
| |
| The multiple endings of Command leave us with absolutely no facts as to what happens next to the Starfox team, or to Lylat. If the game even occurred is in question, although it is speculated that none of the endings are true and the real ending will be given in the next Starfox game.

| [[Image:James_command.jpg|thumb|left|James McCloud]]
| |
| ====James McCloud====
| |
| {{main|James McCloud}}
| |
| James McCloud (ジェームズ・マクラウド, Jēmuzu Makuraudo) is the father of Fox McCloud and the founder of the Star Fox team. On a scouting mission to Venom, he is betrayed by Pigma Dengar and captured by the evil [[Andross]]. Though his true fate is ambiguous, he is presumed dead by most sources.
| |
| | |
| He appears to Fox McCloud in Star Fox 64 to lead Fox out of Andross's exploding base, and in Star Fox Command during a final boss fight, James makes his first playable appearance piloting an Arwing like Peppy, which resembles the Assault design. None of the other characters acknowledge him, and Fox questions if he is seeing things.
| |
| | |
| In the original Star Fox for SNES (which according to Nintendo never really happened), it is stated that Fox's father, known as Fox McCloud Sr. in this story, was last seen flying into a black hole, and is presumed dead. However, the Black Hole is actually a warp point that was created by Andross' experiments. The black hole is presumed to warp to the solar system and Earth.
| |
| | |
| ====Peppy Hare====
| |
| {{main|Peppy Hare}}
| |
| [[Image:Normal Peppy2.jpg|thumbnail|Peppy Hare.]]
| |
| Peppy Hare (ペッピー・ヘア, Peppī Hea) is a member of the original Star Fox team, with leader James McCloud and wing-mate Pigma Dengar. After Pigma's betrayal and James' capture, Peppy narrowly escaped to return to Corneria and inform Fox McCloud of his father's fate. Since that time Peppy served as Fox's mentor and frequently gave Fox instructions and advice throughout the course of his adventures.
| |
| | |
| According to Star Fox Command, he has a daughter, Lucy, and is the widower of his wife, Vivian. He eventually retires from flight duty, taking up a post in the Great Fox. Also according to Command, Peppy is eventually made General of the Cornerian army, after Pepper grows ill.
| |
| | |
| ====Pigma Dengar====
| |
| {{main|Pigma Dengar}}
| |
| [[Image:pigma.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Pigma Dengar]]
| |
| Pigma Dengar (ピグマ・デンガー, Piguma Dengā) is one of the original members of the Star Fox team, but he joins Star Wolf after he betrays the team to help Andross. He is an exceptionally greedy pirate who does not care who he hurts so long as he ends up with a large paycheck in the end. When fighting Star wolf in Star Fox 64, he focuses on Peppy because they were once teammates. Wolf O'Donnell later expels Pigma from Star Wolf due to his incredible greed and distrustful nature.
| |
| | |
| Pigma attempts to control the Aparoids in Star Fox Assault, but fails and later undergoes assimilation, which fuses him with a spacecraft. His spirit continues to live on in the form of a cube-shaped puzzle box cyborg after his body is destroyed. He serves as a boss in Star Fox Command; whether the player encounters him depends on certain decisions made during the game.

| ====Fox McCloud====
| |
| {{main|Fox McCloud}}
| |
| [[Image:FoxA3.jpg|thumbnail|Fox McCloud.]]
| |
| Fox McCloud (フォックス・マクラウド, Fokkusu Makuraudo) is the main character of the Star Fox series, and leader of the Star Fox team since his father, [[James McCloud]], went missing after he was captured by Andross.
| |
| | |
| When he heard about his father's death, he dropped out of the Cornerian Army. At the start of the series, Fox was young and still learning under the training of Peppy Hare, his father's friend and wingmate. He has since become an expert pilot, and has repeatedly brought tranquility to the Lylat System. Fox is skilled in both air and ground based attacking, as seen in Star Fox Assault.
| |
| | |
| Krystal is seen as Fox's love interest, much like Princess Peach is to Mario. This relationship develops in Star Fox Adventures, is expanded on briefly in Assault, and turns rocky in Star Fox Command.
| |
| | |
| ====Falco Lombardi====
| |
| {{main|Falco Lombardi}}
| |
| [[Image:FalcoA2.jpg|left|thumbnail|Falco Lombardi.]]
| |
| Falco Lombardi (ファルコ・ランバルディ, Faruko Ranbarudi?) is an expert pilot and a friend of Fox. Falco resembles a falcon. Falco often joins and leaves the Star Fox team throughout the series of games and is seen as somewhat of a sidekick to Fox as they are very close.
| |
| | |
| Four years after the Lylat Wars, Falco leaves the team because of boredom and tiredness (though also because of certain events, see below.), but returns at the end of Star Fox Adventures. During the final battle against Andross in Adventures, Falco comes to Fox's rescue. [[Leon Powalski]] of the Star Wolf team is considered to be his rival.
| |
| | |
| His long absence from the team is chronicled in the Nintendo comic Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco, which was bundled with Star Fox Adventures in Japan.[citation needed] In this comic Falco gets a call for help from Katt so he heads out, and Fox follows soon after. At the end of the comic Falco decides to go around the galaxy for a while, and Fox goes back to the rest of the team without him.
| |
| | |
| ====Slippy Toad====
| |
| {{main|Slippy Toad}}
| |
| [[Image:Normal Slippy2.jpg|thumbnail|Slippy Toad]]
| |
| Slippy Toad (スリッピー・トード, Surippī Tōdo) is a longtime friend of Fox. Young, kind, and intelligent, he serves as the inventor of the team. Slippy's father, Beltino Toad, the Research Director for the [[Cornerian Defense Force]] and Cornerian Army, envisions and constructs many inventions for the team, including the Blue Marine and the Landmaster. After the Aparoid race is destroyed in Star Fox: Assault, he temporarily withdraws from the Star Fox team.
| |
| | |
| When Fox needs backup in Star Fox: Command, he comes to add his assistance again. He is currently engaged to a frog named Amanda, and in two endings in Star Fox Command they have children together.
| |
| | |
| ====Krystal====
| |
| {{main|Krystal}}
| |
| [[Image:Krystalgun.jpg{{!}}left|thumbnail{{!}}Krystal.]]
| |
| Krystal (クリスタル, Kurisutaru) is the sole survivor of her doomed home planet, Cerinia. She makes her first appearance in the series in Star Fox Adventures, where in search of answers to her planet's destruction, and the death of her parents, she comes across a distress signal from the planet Sauria
| |
| | |
| Fox allows Krystal to become a full-time member of the Star Fox team for few years, but she leaves heartbroken soon after, as Fox fears for her safety. Various different paths and endings are available in Star Fox Command; some show Krystal returning to the team and to Fox himself, defecting to Star Wolf or the Cornerian Army, or even abandoning Lylat altogether due to public ridicule and adopting a new identity under the name Kursed, changing so drastically that Fox fails to recognize her when the two cross paths on a planet named Kew two years later.
| |
| | |
| ====R.O.B. 64====
| |
| {{main|R.O.B. 64}}
| |
| [[Image:Robadventures.jpg|thumbnail|ROB 64.]]
| |
| ROB 64 (ナウス64, Nausu Rokujūyon, NUS64) is the robotic operator of Star Fox's mother-ship, the Great Fox. ROB's name may be a reference to the NES accessory R.O.B. He has the ability to completely control the Great Fox, piloting it, providing information to the team, and aiding them with items and vehicles.
| |
| | |
| After the first Great Fox is destroyed in Assault, he returns in Star Fox Command, piloting the new version of the Great Fox. On some paths in the game, ROB joins Star Wolf when no "hero" character is available.
| |
| | |
| ===Possible Future Members===
| |
| ====Marcus McCloud====
| |
| {{main|Marcus McCloud}}
| |
| Marcus McCloud is the son of Fox McCloud and his wife Krystal. Following the defeat of the Anglars, Fox and the rest of the Star Fox Team vote to disband the squadron following, with Fox, immediately upon destroying the Anglars, departing the Great Fox forever and meeting Krystal again on Sauria, intending to re-build the relationship he ended due to Fox forcing Krystal to leave the team due to his fears for her safety. Krystal accepted Fox's advances, and they soon married and settled down to a quiet life. The rest of the Star Fox team went their own ways as well.
| |
| | |
| At some point, the Fox and Krystal had Marcus. In terms of appearance, Marcus physically appears much like his father, and inherits his strong sense of leadership, though inherits his mother's blue fur & eyes (and possibly her magic). Marcus was raised by his parents, becoming a fine young pup, and they enjoy a happy life together.
| |
| | |
| When he is old enough, Marcus enrolls in the Cornerian Flight Academy, intending to follow in his father's footsteps. Marcus soon proves that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree during his training. His flying skill, a gift passed down through his family, is considered "unbelievable".

| |
| [[Image:Lucy.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Lucy Hare]]
| |
| Lucy Hare (ルーシー・ヘア, Rūshī Hea) debuts in Star Fox Command, and is Peppy Hare's only daughter. Her mother, Vivian Hare (ビビアン・ヘア, Bibian Hea), died shortly after the Lylat Wars due to an illness. She is a bit of a tomboy, but is still very polite to her elders. Although pleased with her job as an astrophysics teacher on the planet [[Fichina]], she does wish to become an expert pilot, like her father. It is said as well that she and Krystal are good friends. In some missions, she fights the Anglar attackers in her aircraft, the Sky Bunny (スカイバニー, Sukaibanī), armed with plasma lasers and a single lock. In one of the endings, her daughter becomes a member of the new Star Fox team, led by Marcus McCloud, Fox's son.
| |

| {{main|Amanda}}
| |
| [[Image:Amanda.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Amanda]]
| |
| Amanda (アマンダ, Amanda) is Slippy's fiancé, who first appears in Star Fox Command. They meet two years prior to the events of Star Fox Command, and instantly fall in love. Amanda occasionally helps the team out in various missions, and pilots the Tadpole (タッドポール, Taddopōru), a ship armed with a multi-lock. She considers herself more of the leader in her relationship with Slippy, and always wants to be on his side during a fight. In two endings, she and Slippy settle down with children, one of whom joins Fox and Krystal's son, Marcus McCloud, as well as Lucy Hare's daughter and Falco Lombardi himself in forming a new Star Fox team. In another ending, she herself joins the Star Fox team to be close to Slippy.
| |
| | |
| ==Legacy==
| |
| [[Image:End7-3.png|frame|[[Slippy Toad]] telling his grandchildren about the legacy of Star Fox.]]
| |
| It is widely believed that the Star Fox team will never end for as long as the bloodline of Fox, Peppy, Krystal, Slippy, and Falco, remains.
| |
| ==Arsenal==
| |
| ===Arwing===
| |
| {{main|Arwing}}
| |
| The principal air craft of the Star Fox team, it has appeared in all Star Fox games to date.
| |
| | |
| Throughout their appearances the Arwings have had considerable changes, though all versions have retained the basics such as simple lasers that can be upgraded and Smart Bombs (called Nova Bombs in the first Star Fox).
| |
| | |
| The Arwings make an appearance in the Super Smash Bros series, in Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl, they appear as trophies and in the Super Smash Bros. series are used as the on-screen introduction to Fox and Falco. In the Corneria, Venom and Lylat Cruise stages they are seen flying in the background. It also appears as a piece of furniture in Animal Crossing: Wild World. When touched by the game character, the Arwing will briefly play the Star Fox theme music.
| |
| | |
| ===Landmaster===
| |
| {{main|Landmaster}}
| |
| This white-and-blue fictional vehicle first appeared in Star Fox 64 (1997, Nintendo 64) as a tracked light tank in two of the game's missions and one of the game's multi-player maps.
| |
| | |
| It appeared again in Star Fox: Assault (2005, Nintendo GameCube), although with wheels replacing the tank treads for this game only, the tanks were also modified somewhat and acted as anti-air craft tanks.
| |
| | |
| The Landmaster tank makes it most recent appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008, Nintendo Wii) as Fox's Final Smash. The same design—in alternate color schemes—is also used as the final smash for Falco Lombardi, and Wolf O'Donnell. All three landmasters have slightly different properties. The landmaster that Fox and Falco use is the traditional white and blue color scheme, While Wolf's landmaster is a black and red color scheme. Falco's Landmaster can fly higher and longer than Fox's but it's firepower has reduced knockback. In addition, Wolf's landmaster has greater firepower and knockback ability than the one Fox and Falco use, but it remains on the stage for a much shorter time.
| |
| | |
| Other than a shared name, Nintendo's Landmaster tank is unrelated to the Landmaster vehicle from the film Damnation Alley.
| |
| | |
| ===Blue Marine===
| |
| {{main|Blue Marine}}
| |
| The '''Blue Marine''' is a submarine vehicle, it has only been used once by Fox McCloud on the planet, [[Aquas]]. Instead of shooting bombs, the Blue Marine has an unlimited source of torpedoes. Strangely enough, this vehicle was never used again. it is even unknown if it is still in their arsenal.
| |
| | |
| It is equipped with lasers like the Arwing, essentially performing the same way the Arwing would underwater.
| |
| | |
| ===Great Fox===
| |
| {{main|Great Fox}}
| |
| The teams base of operations and later their home, it is used for carrying the Arwings and other vehicles as well as back up heavy assaults. [[ROB 64]] is the primary pilot of the great fox.
