Line 13: This page covers '''both''' the video game and the comic, which were published at the same time as companion media. ---- {{tropelist\|''Star Fox'' (game and comic) provides examples of:}} * [[Anti-Hero\|Anti-Heroes]] [[Just Like Robin Hood]]: The Star Fox team was this in the beginning of the main story, having been [[The Exile\|exiled]] to Papetoon, and robbing Andross's scows to give aid to Papetoon's oppressed people. * [[Anyone Can Die]]/[[Final Death]]: Unlike in ''64'', any of your wingmates can die. If they die, it's permanent for the rest of the game. Line 23: ** This 19-year old Slippy was not much older than ''64'''s 18-year old Slippy, but was notable for having no [[Viewer Gender Confusion]] whatsoever, being unambiguously male and boyish with a deep baritone voice, even while constantly wearing a bead necklace. In the reboot, when Slippy's sound become more [[Vocal Dissonance\|feminine]], his appearance was made more masculine in contrast, and his trademark necklace had to go. Slippy also had a constant [[Speech Impediment\|stutter]], and periodically punctuated his lines with "ribbit" -- this vanished entirely from his rebooted persona. * [[Cute'Em Up]]: The level 'Out of This Dimension' is to the rest of the game what ''[[Parodius]]'' is to ''[[Gradius]]''. * [[The Exile]]: Fox McCloud Jr. and his companions were originally [[Ace Pilot\|Ace Pilots]] in [[Redshirt Army\|Corneria Defense Force]]. But after the incident that created the [[~~Unrealistic~~ Black ~~Hole~~Holes Suck\|Black Hole]] and caused his father's disappearance, Fox and his friends protested. Cornerian leadership was terrified of Andross's growing power on Venom, and exiled the crew to Fox's ancestral home planet Papetoon to try to avoid Andross's wrath. [[It Got Worse\|It didn't work]], and Venom soon conquered Papetoon and invaded Corneria, turning the latter into a tense warzone while Fox and his friends spent the next few years just trying to hide and survive. At the beginning of the main story, General Pepper suspended their exile and they smuggled themselves back to Corneria. * [[Faux Action Girl]]: Fara Phoenix, due to being a mix of [[Leeroy Jenkins]] and a [[Badass Damsel]]. * [[Fun with Acronyms]]: It's uncertain whether the '''S'''uper '''FX''' chip was named after '' '''S'''tar '''F'''o'''X''' '' or vice versa. Line 29: * [[Generation Xerox]]/[[I Am X, Son of Y]]: Fox McCloud Jr. is always being compared to his missing father Fox McCloud Sr., and in [[Flash Back\|Flashbacks]] Sr. looks practically identical to adult Jr. (This was before the ''64'' [[Continuity Reboot]] gave ''James'' McCloud his trademark [[Cool Shades]].) * [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Fara had very visible cameltoe under her jumpsuit. * [[Never Found the Body]]: The sabotage that created the [[~~Unrealistic~~ Black ~~Hole~~Holes Suck\|Black Hole]] caused sucked Fox McCloud Sr. into it. {{spoiler\|He lived.}} * [[No Export for You]]: The companion comic by Benimaru Itoh was made in the Western left-to-right horizontal text style rather than the typical Japanese right-to-left vertical text style, and this Western-style format was also used later with ''[[Manga]]/FarewellBelovedFalco''. But whereas ''Farewell'' wasn't officially published outside Japan, the ''Star Fox 1'' comic wasn't officially published ''in'' Japan. But they both enjoy [[Canon]] status within their respective [[Continuity Reboot\|continuities]]. * [[Percussive Prevention]]: Falco violently decks Fox to prevent him from going on a dangerous unauthorized mission alone. Falco then decks Fox ''[[Crosses the Line Twice\|again]] [[Kick the Dog\|while he's down]]'', while reminding Fox of [[Tsundere\|how much he cares about him]]. Falco almost hits him a third time, when the others remind him that putting Fox in solitary confinement is a more sensible option. Fox later escapes from confinement and returns the favor on Falco, knocking him out of the Arwing cockpit onto the ground. Line 47: {{quote\|'''Falco:''' ''(after being saved)'' Mind your own business, Fox!}} * [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: In the Nintendo Power comic, after Fox learns that {{spoiler\|Andross killed his mother}}. * [[~~Unrealistic~~ Black ~~Hole~~Holes Suck]]/[[Our Wormholes Are Different]]/[[Warp Zone]]: Created when Andross sabotaged the device Fox McCloud Sr. was taking into the [[Asteroid Thicket\|Asteroid Belt]]. The Black Hole sucked in fully a third of the Asteroid Belt, and remained in interplanetary space. Unlike real black holes, this one was fully visible as a purplish maelstrom in outer space, and it functioned more as a [[Warp Zone]] to other locations in the [[Space Zone\|Lylat System]]. * [[Utility Belt\|Utility Necklace]]: Slippy's necklace beads contain [[Instant Sedation\|knock-out gas]] and [[Grenade Tropes\|grenades]], as needed. * [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Fox and Falco have a tendency of pressing each other's [[Berserk Button\|Berserk Buttons]] and exchanging moments of [[Percussive Prevention]], but they're still good friends in spite of it all. Falco seems to express his most honest words of caring towards Fox while busy beating the shit out of him.
