== Since ''[[Star Fox
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.
Line 9:
The team roster has featured the following changes:
* In the [[Star Fox
** Fox McCloud Sr. and Peppy Hare feature in the backstory, but the first team to be called Star Fox featured Fox McCloud Jr., Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad. In [[Star Fox
** ''[[
* In the Nintendo 64 canon:
** The original (unplayable backstory) team was made up of James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar.
** In an event of sabotage, James was lost and Pigma defected to Andross.
** The second incarnation of the team was led by James's son Fox McCloud, and featured Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad. ROB-64 was the operator of the Great Fox.
** Peppy retired from being a pilot after ''[[
** Falco left the team in ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]''.
** Krystal joined in ''[[Star Fox Adventures
** Peppy retired full-time after ''[[Star Fox Assault (Video Game)|Assault]]'', and Krystal was kicked out. Lucy Hare and Amanda are de facto members of the team during ''[[Star Fox Command
** {{spoiler|1=In a possible future, the team is made up of Marcus McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Lucy's daughter, and Slippy's son.}}

Line 69:
* [[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 -- without them, father and son look exactly the same.
* [[Happily Married]]: One of ''[[Star Fox Command
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Hot Dad]]: As a result of the above mentioned trope. After Marcus was born, about the only difference physically was that he started wearing sunglasses and grew a goatee of sorts on his chin.
* [[I Am X, Son of Y]]: Before ''[[Continuity Reboot|Star Fox 64]]'', when Fox's father was officially renamed James, Fox's father was named Fox McCloud (or "Fox Sr."), and Fox himself was Fox McCloud Jr. (or "Fox Jr.").

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Fox's parents, James and Vixy, are both gone. Vixy is dead, and James is a disembodied voice and occasional [[Space Whale]].
Line 85:
* [[Rescue Romance]]: His relationships with ''both'' of his official love interests' began by him saving their lives.
* [[Say My Name|Scream My Name]]: In the Japanese versions, his team members will do this if Fox is killed (These are replaced with a [[Big No]] in the English version). In the English version, the only instances of this trope being applied towards Fox is when Slippy is swatted towards Titania by Spyborg, Slippy just before the battle against Goras, and by his team members when Fox is going to "go it alone" against Andross inside his base (both paths), and the last part only if his teammates aren't undergoing repairs of their Arwings. Fox himself also used the trope twice: First when Slippy was knocked away to Titania, and the second when Fox finds Slippy in Gora's claw (before it awakens).
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]]: In stark contrast to Falco's [[Only in It For
{{quote| '''Fox:''' First class tickets would be nice.<br />
'''Falco:''' You could have asked for a moon!<br />
'''Fox:''' Moons aren't nearly as comfortable. }}
** And it's not like he ever ''doesn't'' bill General Pepper for Star Fox's services.
*** Hell, in ''[[Star Fox Adventures
**** Well sure, you still have to put food on the table. Similar issues in episode plots of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' come to mind. It probably takes an assload of cash just to maintain the Great Fox (not to mention their expensive ''Arwings''), which is especially worrisome when business is slow, and it is implied that the Great Fox was in severe disrepair by the time of the game. In ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'', they were all practically ''living'' on that ship in deep space, and spent a lot of boring days playing video games (labelled as training). That's also not even getting into the issue of how Fox, after inheriting the Great Fox from his father, also ends up having to pay the remainder of his dad's eighty year loan that his father got simply by getting the ship. However, in the older comic where Fox's credo came up, they weren't in the Great Fox, but in their Papetoon Rebel Hideout underneath a tree in the desert, where cost of living may have been less expensive.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Once in ''Assault'' relating to Krystal. Tricky assumes that Fox and Krystal are already a couple and promises to keep Sauria intact until they can come back on their honeymoon. Fox unfortunately phrases his response in a way that makes it clear that even though they aren't, he does want them to be, causing much embarrassment until he can change the subject.

Falco is something of a loose cannon for the Star Fox team. He doesn't play well with others, and seems to only go along with the team for financial reasons, though deep down he realises what is usually at stake and will do what is right. He used to butt heads with Fox, leading to a falling out before ''[[Star Fox Adventures
* [[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 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]].

Turns out, he survived by using the Great Fox's bridge as an escape pod.

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: In all of the Japanese versions of the games, and in the English version of ''[[Star Fox 64
** In the SNES games, Slippy actually has the second ''lowest'' voice of all the main characters -- an unmistakable [[Speaking Simlish|Simlish]] baritone, with only Falco's bass voice being lower in pitch.

Line 254:
* [[Rescue Romance]]: Implied with Fox at the very least. Fox (and Slippy) save her from getting her head blown off by one of Andross's lizard troopers (attempting to use her as a hostage), he later stops his team from opening fire on her ship when she shows up during a training exercise, and then when they enter real combat, when her Arwing goes down Fox manages to catch her ejected cockpit mid-air with his, before it crashes into the ground below. The second and third saves are commented upon.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: ''[[Averted]]''. Though Fox and Fara appear to have some potential signs of chemistry, they never seem to explore any kind of relationship. Probably just as well, since [[Body Double|she looks just like]] [[Missing Mom|Fox's mother]], which would make it almost like [[Parental Incest]].
