Line 3:
The first game, in 1993. So overshadowed by ''[[Continuity Reboot|Star Fox 64]]'' in 1997 that some fans don't even know there were ''Star Fox'' games or stories before that.

'''Star Fox'''<br />スターフォックス<br />''<small>Sutā-Fokkusu</small>''
 
Line 28:
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: At least some of the team wears the team's trademark neck scarf in assorted colors, in every game of the franchise except ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]''.

'''Fox McCloud'''<br />フォックス・マクラウド<br />''<small>Fokkusu Makuraudo</small>''
 
Line 68:
'''Fox:''' ''Great''. Good to see the transmission system's targeting is as ''sterling'' as ever. }}
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Fox tries to keep his affection towards Krystal under wraps in ''Adventures'' and ''Assault''. Not that it makes any difference, since all of his teammates know him too well, ROB [[My Sensors Indicate You Want to Tap That|has a way of putting it out in the open]], and others like Tricky assumed they were already together.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Probably the reason James is always shown wearing shades and Fox never does -- withoutdoes—without them, father and son look exactly the same.
* [[Happily Married]]: One of ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'''s endings has him as this with Krystal.
* [[The Hero]]
Line 105:
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Some dialogue in ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'' implies that he's like this (specifically General Pepper forbidding him from taking a blaster to his first Sauria mission and shooting everything in sight to solve his problems, requiring him to find a different, yet suitable weapon for the circumstances), but so far it's been an [[Informed Attribute]].

[[File:Falco_Lombardi_collage_6485Falco Lombardi collage 6485.jpg|frame]]
'''Falco Lombardi'''<br />ファルコ・ランバルディ<br />''<small>Faruko Ranbarudi</small>''
 
Line 119:
* [[Ace Pilot]]: This is actually his official team designation. His stats even seem to imply that he's a more skilled pilot than Fox, though [[Informed Ability|this doesn't come up so much during gameplay]]. And appropriately for a bird, he expressively prefers flying an Arwing, as opposed to any of the team's other options.
* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]/[[Incompatible Orientation]]: We don't know for an absolute certainty whether he's [[Sorry, I'm Gay|gay]] or [[Asexuality]] -- just—just that he's not into ''any'' girls, ''[[Gender and Sexuality Tropes|ever]]''. He was also vague in whether his solo nature is attributable to this, [[Celibate Hero|or vice versa]]. It doesn't really help that the canonical ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'' was [[No Export for You|Japan-only]] and it only materialized in English online as an obscure low-resolution [[Scanlation]].
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The manga ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'' explains his absence for most of ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]'' as being from a falling out between him and Fox due to the machinations by an officer who planned on resurrecting Andross.
* [[Back for the Finale]]: Comes back at the end of ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]''.
Line 153:
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Japanese voice only: His voice is much deeper now than it was in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''.

[[File:Slippy_Toad_collage_4452Slippy Toad collage 4452.jpg|frame]]
'''Slippy Toad'''<br />スリッピー・トード<br />''<small>Surippī Tōdo</small>''
 
Line 205:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Some of his lines in ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'' paint him this way, especially when he looks at the menacing Aparoid base and remarks about how tasty it looks (as well as angrily ask if the Aparoids have ever heard of windows in one conversation).
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: In all of the Japanese versions of the games, and in the English version of ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', which lead to Western fans infamously mistaking him for a girl. He's voiced by a man in all of the other English versions, though (although Peppy's line at the ending of the Titania level establishes that Slippy is indeed male [''"I'm sure he's [Slippy] learned his lesson."'']).
** In the SNES games, Slippy actually has the second ''lowest'' voice of all the main characters -- ancharacters—an unmistakable [[Speaking Simlish|Simlish]] baritone, with only Falco's bass voice being lower in pitch.
* [[Dude in Distress]]: Slippy has been kidnapped no less than ''four times'' in official works:
** First in the [[Star Fox (video game)|original comic]], he was kidnapped by a [[Lizard Folk|lizardman]] mechanic in a hangar on Titania, and taken to Andross's base on Fortuna. But he was eventually able to free himself then with the help of his [[Utility Belt|Utility Necklace]]).
Line 238:
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Japanese vocals only: His voice is far less feminine now than it was in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''.

[[File:Andross_collage_2254Andross collage 2254.jpg|frame]]
'''Andross'''<br />アンドルフ<br />''<small>Andorufu</small>''
 
Line 380:
 
== Since ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' ==
When ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' was finally made ([[Vaporware|and not released]]), Fara made no appearance, but Miyu and Fay were there instead. Since there were two of themthem—both -- both female -- itfemale—it also at least partially averted [[The Smurfette Principle]]. Neither they nor Fara survived the [[Continuity Reboot]]. Star Wolf made its first appearance (with Algae and without Andrew), but were heavily remodeled for ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.

[[File:Star_Wolf_team_collage_9313Star Wolf team collage 9313.jpg|frame]]
'''Star Wolf'''<br />スターウルフ<br />''<small>Sutā-Urufu</small>''
 
A team of mercenary antagonists through most of the series. They worked with Andross in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', but took on the role of [[Anti-Hero|Anti-Heroes]]es and [[Worthy Opponent|Worthy Opponents]]s afterwards.
 
The team roster:
Line 416:
* [[Badbutt]]
* [[Cast Full of Gay]]: Most prominent during ''[[Star Fox Assault|Assault]]'', with the [[Manly Gay]] Wolf and [[Camp Gay]] Leon (who are also the only members present in every incarnation of the team), with Panther being the only one interested in women (namely in Krystal). Leon is most obvious from the beginning (at least in Japanese), but Wolf [[Flanderization|increasingly personifies]] the [[Manly Gay]] stereotype over time, reaching his greatest flamboyance (so far) in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In their first appearance, they were depicted as completely amoral [[Psycho for Hire]], especially Leon and Pigma. In later games, Pigma's been kicked off the team for being too evil and the more sociopathic attributes of the team have become more subdued. They become more like [[Anti-Hero|Anti-Heroes]]es and the [[Worthy Opponent|Worthy Opponents]]s of Star Fox.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]

'''Leon Powalski'''<br />レオン・ポワルスキー<br />''<small>Reon Powarusukī</small>''
 
Line 503:
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: His mannerisms in the Japanese version were actually intended to reflect that he is "creepily sophisticated."
----
[[File:Pigma_Dengar_collage_5492Pigma Dengar collage 5492.jpg|frame]]
'''Pigma Dengar'''<br />ピグマ・デンガー<br />''<small>Piguma Dengā</small>''
 
Line 544:
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: His appearance in ''Command''. Unlike Andrew, who has at least some leeway for his reappearance, Pigma was completely ''atomised'' in an explosion during ''Assault'', calling his reappearance in ''Command'' into further question. He also seems to have a body that is still based on the one he got while under Aparoid possession, yet the Aparoids were completely, utterly wiped out at the climax of ''Assault'', meaning that even if he did survive his body imploding on itself, unless he hadn't been completely assimilated, he more than likely would have been killed then instead. Then again, there's ''Command's'' [[Canon Discontinuity|deemed status]] in the series, as well as the fact Pigma considered Star Wolf to be true friends of his, despite the fact Wolf kicked him out (and apparently attacked him) [[Even Evil Has Standards|because they couldn't stand the greedy bastard]], and it seems easier to just consider him deceased for now.

'''ROB/NUS 64'''<br />ナウス64<br />''<small>Nausu-64</small>''
 
Line 594:
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: While his assistance in tough stages like Area 6 is certainly helpful, his ship's lasers can take out huge chunks of the fleet, meaning you don't get any points for them.

'''Katt Monroe'''<br />キャット・モンロー<br />''<small>Kyatto Monrō</small>''
 
Line 624:
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Before her [[Race Lift]].
* [[Race Lift]]: Changing colors and cat breeds between ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco|Farewell]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]] / [[Ship Sinking]] / [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Played straight. (Well, not entirely sure it's ''that'' kind of straight). Apparently, Falco and Katt have ''never'' been an item -- Falcoitem—Falco [[Incompatible Orientation|doesn't even want a girl]]!
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Pink Katt ''breathed'' this trope. Besides being pink, this was heavily reflected in the way she dressed, the way she did her hair, and especially her heavy blue eyeshadow.
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: When Falco and Katt were younger, Katt used to need rescuing from trouble all the time, and Falco was the one to rescue her. But Falco not only wanted Katt to be a more self-reliant person, but also didn't appreciate Katt having a crush on him. Katt [[Xenafication|finally became a capable woman]] when Falco's absence forced her to grow up.
* [[You Don't Look Like You]]: Compare her appearance in [[Farewell Beloved Falco|the manga]] and in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.

A [[The Mole|rogue]] [[Redshirt Army|Cornerian Defense Forces]] officer who appears only in the [[Canon|Canonical]]ical [[Manga]] ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]''. He is secretly working on Titania to revive Andross.
 
* [[Cool Shades]]
Line 657:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: As soon as it becomes apparent that Fox or Katt are going to stumble on {{spoiler|his attempts at cloning Andross}}, he loses it, becoming [[Ax Crazy|rapier-crazy]] and hunting Fox down like a lunatic.

'''Krystal'''<br />クリスタル<br />''<small>Kurisutaru</small>''
 
Line 717:
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Whilst Fox was clearly enamoured by her when he saw her, the way she looks into his eyes when he pulls her to safety implies the same may have been true for her.
* [[Magic Staff]]
* [[May-DecemberMay–December Romance]]: Official sources list Krystal at 19 years old during ''[[Star Fox Adventures|Adventures]]''; since it takes place eight years after ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', Fox would be 26, leaving a notable seven-year age gap between them. If Krystal were to actually get together with Panther, she'd have this same type of romance, since he's probably even older than Fox.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Nice Girl]]
Line 735:
* [[Woman Scorned]]: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.

{{quote|'''Voiced By:''' John Silke}}
 
Head of the SharpClaw tribe of dinosaurs on Sauria, he is a warlord in the midst of conquering Sauria for his own--andown—and has even managed to shatter Sauria into pieces by removing its Spellstones. He is the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. {{spoiler|Or Is He? He's actually being manipulated by Andross into gathering Krystal's life force and the Krazoa spirits of Sauria in a bid to make Andross a [[Physical God]].}}

'''Panther Caroso'''<br />パンサー・カルロッソ<br />''<small>Pansā Karurosso</small>''
 
Line 782:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: In ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'', his ship has the most powerful laser in the game, but ludicrously low health.
** Note that Panther still has a large amount of Turbo, meaning that he can just barrel-roll a lot for safety. He still has low health, though.
* [[Hellish Pupils]]: Oh, [[Subverted Trope|that's not fair to say]] -- he—he's a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|panther]]!
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In the default path of ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', Panther lets Krystal go back to Star Fox because he knows that's where she is happy, but believes that one day she'll return to him.
* [[Latin Lover]]
