The '''Landmaster''' is a vehicle used by the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] in missions that take place on the ground. It is a tank vehicle. In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', it is used twice; once on [[Titania]] to rescue [[Slippy Toad]], and in an alternate mission on [[Macbeth]]. It has hovering capabilities, as well as most of the [[Arwing]]s abilities, excepting the reflecting properties of the Barrel Roll. It was developed by [[Beltino Toad|Beltino]] and [[Slippy Toad]].
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]].

[[File:SF64 Landmaster screenshot.png|thumb|left|200px|Fox driving the Landmaster on Titania in ''Star Fox 64'']]
The Landmaster was created by [[Beltino Toad]] under Space Dynamics Co., Ltd. as an exploration vehicle. Only a prototype was made, and when [[Star Fox (Team)|Star Fox]] obtained it, [[Slippy Toad]] modified it with weaponry. It was used in two missions in the game: on [[Macbeth]] and [[Titania]].

====''Star Fox 64''====
Prior to the events of ''Star Fox 64'', the Landmaster was created by [[Beltino Toad]] under [[Space Dynamics Co., Ltd.]] as an exploration vehicle. Only a prototype was made, and when [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] obtained it, [[Slippy Toad]] modified it with weaponry.
 
In the Main Game mode, there are two different planets in which Fox uses the Landmaster: [[Titania]] and in an alternate mission on [[Macbeth]]. On Titania, Fox had no option but to use the Landmaster because of the thick sandstorm covering the sky. He uses the Landmaster to rescue [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] from [[Goras]]. On Macbeth, Fox uses the Landmaster while chasing after a train. Like the Arwing, the Landmaster is capable of firing [[Smart Bomb]]s.
 
The Landmaster is a usable vehicle in Multiplayer mode.

====''Star Fox: Assault''====
The Landmaster makes its second appearance in ''Star Fox: Assault'', where it was given a more complex design. Its turret can swivel in more directions, and it has four all-terrain wheels in place of the original tank treads, which decreases traction but increases mobility. A deflection shield briefly forms around the Landmaster if it performs a barrel roll. The Landmaster has a slower rate of fire, although this it has more powerful rounds to compensate. The Landmaster also has lighter armor but was given anti-aircraft capabilities. Unlike its debut appearance, the Landmaster cannot fire Smart Bombs.


==''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
It appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as the Final Smash for all three of the Star Fox characters appearing in the game. [[Wolf O'Donnell]] has a [[Wolfen]]-styled Landmaster. Fox's Landmaster shoots the fastest of the three, but hovers somewhat slow. Falco's Landmaster is good at hovering and Wolf's Landmaster is slightly more powerful. They can also perform [[Barrel roll]]s. When the Final Smash activated, the character will say something as they jump to the top of the screen, doing damage to anyone who comes in their way. They will then fall back down to the stage in their own 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, leaving the character to continue fighting normally.
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', there is an unlockable trophy of the Landmaster. It can be unlocked if 1,000 or more KOs are scored in Versus Mode.

====''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:

;VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
"''The Landmaster tank was originally being developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd. as an armored exploration vehicle. However, when the Star Fox Team required a land based combat vehicle, it was converted by adding stronger battle armor and weapons systems. The only prototype is now part of the Star Fox Team's arsenal. Although primarily a ground based assault weapon, the Landmaster can also hover for a short time, and can roll from side to side to help it avoid land mines and enemy attacks.''"
