Line 165:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He's playable in ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'' and shows that he's still capable of flying an Arwing despite his age.
* [[Baka]]: In ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', this is Peppy's [https://web.archive.org/web/20060209203004/http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=21 reaction] to {{spoiler|Fox and Falco fighting each other in their Arwings.}}
** ''[[Star Fox 64]]'''s Japanese version has him say this if you shoot at him.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
Line 181:
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]: In the SNES game, Peppy is officially 36 years old. He was friends with Fox's father, but Peppy himself was only 11 years older than 25-year old Fox and more like a [[Cool Big Bro]]. In the ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'' [[Continuity Reboot]], Peppy was made 41 years old, a full generation older than [[Not Allowed to Grow Up|18-year old Fox]], and was rewritten more as a [[Parental Substitute]] to orphaned Fox. Then, in the sequels to ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]'', when everyone was allowed to age normally, Peppy started to really show his age, becoming quite old-looking by ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]''.
* [[Species Surname]]
* [[Team Dad]]: Generally a kinder, more egalitarian version of this. Fox is still the leader, after all. But [[Beware the Nice Ones|heaven help you]] if you're [https://web.archive.org/web/20060209203004/http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=21 being a total idiot], a notable example being the aftermath of Fox's dogfight with Falco.
** Although when he learned the reason why Fox got into the dogfight with Falco in the first place, he became disturbed.
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: It doesn't take much to convince him to get back in the cockpit.
Line 324:
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Becomes ill by the time of ''[[Star Fox Command|Command]]'' and has to retire (although fans suspect that his illness may have something to do with his brief possession by the Aparoids).
* [[Redshirt Army]]
* [[Shout-Out]] or [[Parental Bonus]]: His name and uniform come straight from ''[[The Beatles|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]''. The origin of his name even gets a [[Lampshade Hanging]] in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130327222927/http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=41 the Nintendo Power comic.]
* [[Sigil Spam]]: Posters with his face on them are everywhere in ''[[Star Fox 64|64]]''.
