'''ThornTail Store''' is the only shop in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' located in the [[ThornTail Hollow]] on planet [[Sauria]]. It is run by the [[ShopKeeper]], who only accepts [[Scarab]]s as payment. His shop is divided into the Main Room, the Scarab Room and 3 shopping rooms all of which have a different color representing the nature of the goods sold in the particular room. The Main Room's doors form an inequilateral hexagon, which connects all the other rooms to the Main Room. If the first door from either left or right from the entrance is taken, the destination will be the Scarab Room. The second door on left leads to the Blue Room and the second door on the right leads to the Purple Room. Red Room is located opposite the entrance. There is also a well in the middle of the Main Room, which sells Fox a [[Cheat Token]], which he can take to the [[Game Well Maze]] under the [[Warp Stone]].

The '''ThornTail Store''' is a store run by the [[ShopKeeper]] at [[ThornTail Hollow]] in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. [[Fox McCloud]] can purchase items from this location with [[Scarab]]s.


==Layout==
The ThornTail Store has a foyer with five pathways, two of which lead to the Scarab Room, and the other three are shopping rooms: the Blue Room, Red Room, and Purple Room. The shopping rooms all have a uniquely-colored lighting, hence their names. The pathway entrances are in the shape of an inequilateral hexagon and are covered by a thin curtain. Their thresholds are also surrounded by a curved, colored stripe. A small sign hangs above every entrance, indicating the contents of each room. A well is located in the center of the main room, where Fox can purchase a [[Cheat Token]].


The Scarab Room can be accessed from both the leftmost and rightmost pathways of the main room. In this room, Scarabs can be gambled with the ShopKeeper. First he asks the amount of Scarabs to be gambled, with the maximum of ten. He then throws the desired number of Green Scarabs into the play area, from where they have to be collected within 30 seconds. The catch is, that he also frees the same amount of Purple Scarabs in the play area, which when collected, result in losing the bet. The amount of Scarabs lost is reduced by the amount of Green ones collected before stumbling into a Purple one. For example, with a 10 Scarab bet, and only four collected Scarabs before getting a Purple one, will result in six Scarab loss. The bet is won if all Green ones are collected. The prize is rather unsurprisingly the amount of Scarabs gambled. Playing the game actually costs nothing unless a bet is lost.


==The Blue Room==
The Blue Room can be entered from the second pathway from the left. This room sells common items such as [[PukPuk Egg]]s.


Here the StoreKeeper has all his perishables:
The Red Room can be entered from the center pathway. It sells unique items, most of which Fox is required to purchase at some point of his adventure. The Red Room also sells a few maps.


The Purple Room can be entered from the second pathway from the right. This room only sells maps, aside from the four in the red room.

*When exiting the Scarab Room there are normally two choices, left and right.

The ThornTail Store has a foyer with five pathways, two of which lead to the Scarab Room, and the other three are shopping rooms: the Blue Room, Red Room, and Purple Room. The shopping rooms all have a uniquely-colored lighting, hence their names. The pathway entrances are in the shape of an inequilateral hexagon and are covered by a thin curtain. Their thresholds are also surrounded by a curved, colored stripe. A small sign hangs above every entrance, indicating the contents of each room. A well is located in the center of the main room, where Fox can purchase a Cheat Token.

The Scarab Room can be accessed from both the leftmost and rightmost pathways of the main room. In this room, Scarabs can be gambled with the ShopKeeper. First he asks the amount of Scarabs to be gambled, with the maximum of ten. He then throws the desired number of Green Scarabs into the play area, from where they have to be collected within 30 seconds. The catch is, that he also frees the same amount of Purple Scarabs in the play area, which when collected, result in losing the bet.
