Line 38:
* [[Art Shift]]: Does Fox McCloud have blue or green eyes? That depends on what game you're looking at. They appear to have settled on green, but interestingly, in an early promo art for ''Assault'', they appeared to be ''[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starfox/images/0/0c/Foxblaster.jpg both]''.
* [[Asteroids Monster]]: Mostly literal asteroids, but also a straight example in ''Command''.
* [[Attack! Attack! Retreat! Retreat!]]: In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', during the boss battle in Macbeth.

* Fox hits the lever to switch the rails, setting the train on a colission course with the factory*<br />
Line 171:
** ''Command'' shows that they are alive and well. Although [[Canon Dis Continuity|it seems to disregard their role in ''Assault'']], it is presumed they survived either way.
** Reverted in ''Assault''. It initially looks like you're up against Andross's nephew following in his footsteps, but then he gets shot down by a [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] and the real plot fires up.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Krystal.
* [[Hired Guns]]: the Star Fox team. Though it's a little unclear how this works, since only the Cornerian military ever seems to hire them.
** They have standards on who they work for, but they probably take jobs from others as well and are probably in high demand considering they have what is arguably the most powerful warship in Lylat under their command.
Line 219:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: ''[[Continuity Reboot|Star Fox 64]]'' was this compared to ''Star Fox'' and ''Star Fox 2''. The series became [[Darker and Edgier]] again with ''Assault''.
** Once change that went lighter and has (thus far) not come back is that in the original SNES game, a wingmate who was shot down was [[Killed Off for Real]].
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]:
{{quote| '''Peppy Hare:''' This brings back memories of your dad! Your Father helped me like that too! Your becoming more like your father!}}
* [[Lizard Folk]]: The inhabitants of Dinosaur Planet, to some degree. Also, according to the backstory of the original ''Star Fox'', Andross made a shocking discovery that Venom hosted life-forms of humanoid lizards, which he used for his army against Corneria.
Line 302:
'''Panther:''' Riiiiight... }}
* [[Scanlation]]: The only way ''[[No Export for You|Farewell, Beloved Falco]]'' [http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=3 made it to English].
* [[Sci
** Of course, that video forgets the tank has an Energy Shield in the place of armor and the fact that the armor could be an advanced alloy far stronger than anything the modern military uses.
*** ''Never'' understimate [[Applied Phlebotinum]].
Line 317:
'''Krystal:''' All right. Thats enough, ''boys''. }}
* [[Ship Sinking]]: Falco Lombardi and Katt Monroe, per ''Farewell, Beloved Falco''.
* [[Shout
** General Pepper not only owes his name, but also his very outfit, to the landmark album by [[The Beatles]]; Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band.
*** [[Lampshaded]] in the [http://arwinglanding.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=41 Nintendo Power comic].
Line 347:
* [[Spin to Deflect Stuff]]: The iconic Barrel Roll move. In ''Command'', deflecting enemy projectiles earns you bonus seconds, and rolling also attracts nearby items. It's even the only way to destroy an enemy mothership.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: All of the lizards and reptiles in the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' comic speak like this.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Mostly Slippy, who tends to get in trouble very quickly.
** These guys may annoy players to the point where they may [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|turn on their teammates]] just to shut them up for a while.
** To add insult to injury, in the cases where the team manages to be genuinely helpful, they may end up stealing important kills from you.
