* [[Even Better Sequel|Even Better Remake]]: ''Star Fox 64'' made many, many improvements over the original [[True Art Is Ancient|stylish]] SNES Star Fox, and it's the most popular and remembered game in the series as a result of this.

* [[Everyone Is Gay]]:

** It doesn't help that, until ''Assault'' and ''Adventures'', the cast was almost ''entirely'' male (With one un-determinable gender).

* [[Fan Nickname]]: A "[[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|snesser]]" is one of a dwindling (as of recently, steadily recovering) number of fans who prefers SNES ''Star Fox'' or ''Star Fox 2'' over ''Star Fox 64'' or the other games that followed.

* [[Fan-Preferred Couple]]: In Japan, Fox × Falco dominates fan expression. There's a lot of it in the West too. [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=221 This is probably the most famous example] (and a parody of [[Idiosyncratic Ship Naming|Falox]] shippers).

** Falco is especially relatable as gay-fan-adopted [[Audience Surrogate]], with or without Ho Yay. Falco has been noticed by gay fans even before ''[[Farewell Beloved Falco]]'' or ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' -- he has been tripping [[Gaydar]] since the comic accompaniment of ''1'', particularly during Fox and Falco's fight scene in the Arwing hangar which [[Alternative Character Interpretation|could be interpreted as]] [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] on Falco's part. Falco actually tripped gaydar ''less'' blatantly in ''64'', the [[Memetic Mutation]] of script notwithstanding, in part because of the [[Ship Tease]] with Katt. But ''Farewell'' not only [[Ship Sinking|sunk this ship]], but in a mere sixty four pages it greatly multiplied the comparatively modest gaydar blips the 1993 comic had produced. This is notable because Japan ''did not'' officially receive the 1993 comic, but the West did not officially receive ''Farewell'', and neither audience had wide access to ''both'' comics until they were [[Scanlation|Scanlated]].

* [[Flanderization]]: Wolf is not so obviously [[Manly Gay]] in ''64'', but his character is blatantly fleshed out in ''Assault'', then by ''Brawl'' he personifies the stereotype.

* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Krystal in the West. [[Broken Base|At least a plurality of the West]]. Mainly because of her [[Hello, Nurse!]] appearance.

* [[Good Bad Translation]]:

** Then again, ''Command'' has a large amount of translation errors. For instance, Panther speaks in third person in the English translation, yet speaks normally in other languages.

** Dash's Japanese name is Ash. Dash is supposed to be a reference to a sci-fi movie character.

* [[The Scrappy]]:

** Slippy, but mostly in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. He gets a lot of flack due to always getting chased by enemies and his annoying voice. These things were toned down somewhat in ''[[Star Fox Assault]]'', which made him a bit more competent in terms of flying skills, gave him a less-annoying voice, and also it also gave him a few funny lines here and there. As a result, a few fans who initially hated him [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|actually started to like him a little]].

** Krystal's treatment among Japanese fans is lukewarm at best. Most Japanese fanart of Krystal either treats her as just another ensemble character, as a soulless sex doll, or as a joke character.

* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: ''Star Fox'' for the SNES looks dated today, but it was considered one of the most advanced games at the time. And still, rendering [[Polygonal Graphics]] on the primarily 2D SNES is quite a feat to behold.

* [[Sequel Displacement]]: ''Star Fox 64'' was made with this ''intentionally'' in mind to replace the original ''Star Fox'' in the storyline.

* [[So Okay It's Average]]: ''Assault'' is widely regarded as this by fans and some reviewers. Interestingly, it's the worst-reviewed game in the series, but you'd actually be hard-pressed to find a fan that prefers ''Command'' over it.

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]:

** The 3DS remake seems to be adding even more hammy voice acting, if the samples from recent trailers are anything to go by.
