'''Falco;''' Yahoo! [[Added Alliterative Appeal|Papetoon pancakes!]] }}

* [[Angels Pose]]: Just look at the header pic.

* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: Fox spots some blinking red transmitters on the stingrays' tails, and orders his team to target those. This comes in handy later when Andross sics a dragon on them.

* [[Badass Biker]]: Falco used to be one.

* [[Best Served Cold]]: Andross rose up the ranks in the Academy to get revenge on those who wronged him.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Star Fox leaping out of a cargo container to kick some lizard tail. Falco comments that they probably weren't expecting such "hazardous cargo."

* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: Fara's dad.

* [[Call to Adventure]]: General Pepper's [[Hologram|holo-telegram]].

** Andross can't resist crashing General Pepper's HQ to deliver one of these.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Andross, of course. We also see a lizard laughing after stealing Fara's arwing, with Slippy in tow.

* [[The Exile]]: As per the SNES game, Andross was stranded on Venom. In a [[Rule of Drama|dramatic]] twist, the Star Fox team fled to Papetoon after being "dangerous radicals"on Corneria.

* [[Expospeak Gag]]: "I'm thinking it is our sacred duty to relieve these lizards of the burden of command."

* [[Human Shield]]: Peppy wonders aloud why imperial troops were sent to hijack a freighter. Suddenly, they notice a lizard holding a woman hostage. Fox asks Peppy who she is, and he replies that she is Fara Phoenix, the spaceship magnate's daughter.

* [[Hypno Trinket]]: Andross' transmitters.

* [[I Take Offense to That Last One]]: General Pepper states that Corneria needs all the help it can get, even if it's from "mangy outlaws."

{{quote| '''Peppy:''' Friends of the poor. Heroes to downtrodden aliens. [[The Triple|Snappy dressers]].}}

* [[Keep the Reward]]: Following Fara's rescue, Mr. Phoenix's valet comes over to inform Fox that Mr. Phoenix is ''very'' grateful. His teammate's eyes light up with dollar signs. Fox, remembering his uncomfortable stay in a cargo pod... asks for [[Anticlimax|First Class tickets]].

'''Fox:''' Moons aren't nearly as comfortable. }}

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Fara makes ready to polish off an Attack Carrier, but as Fox warns, she's badly outmatched.

** General Pepper isn't the only character who likes lollies. At the start of Act.6, we see a freighter [[The Captain|captain]] enjoying one -- the Captain [[Notable Commercial Campaigns|is an owl]].

* [[Percussive Prevention]]: Falco expresses concern that Fox is "beyond reason" and that unless they stop him from going into the Black Hole, he'll kill himself. Better knock his lights out, then. *cracks knuckles*

** Falco's real motive is revealed a few pages later, when he tries to steal Fox's arwing to go make history himself.

* [[Phantom Zone]]: The Black Hole.

** Falco, sitting in Fox's cockpit, says to himself, "I've got to concentrate. This isn't going to be easy." Fox suddenly pops up and says "Easy ''enough'', Falco!" He jumps in and knocks Falco out on his ass.

** See that they get the message!

** Slippy reminds Peppy of the android pig they captured on Papetoon, and says that the pig they're looking at is a literal "[[Piggy Bank]]" of data and the nerve center for the base. Peppy says it's time they "made a withdrawal," and shoots Herbert with his blaster.

* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Fara performing — wait for it — [[Memetic Mutation|A BARREL ROLL]] and waving at Fox through her cockpit window. "Mind if I drop in?"

** Falco is impressed at the length to which Fox wil chase a girl. "Talk about flirting with danger!"
