Line 18:
* [[Badass]]: This game was actually moderately ''more'' [[Badass]] in characterization than the [[Narm|Narmier]] characters in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: It's more accurate to say that the better-known ''[[Star Fox 64 (Video Game)|Star Fox 64]]'''s [[Continuity Reboot|rebooted]] characterization marched on from ''this''.
** 24-year old Fox was already fiercely self-reliant, having already launched his CDF career, and subsequently wrecking it (for a time) when he provoked Corneria's powers-that-be to exile him and his friends. This Fox was less [[Only in It For The Money|In It For The Money]] than his rebooted incarnation, believing that the assets they stole from Andross [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|should be liquidated]] [[Just Like Robin Hood|for the benefit of Papetoon's needy downtrodden]].
** 28-year old Falco was originally almost a decade older than his 19-year old rebooted persona in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. He was not a [[Bishonen]], and his head sported more of a feather mohawk than the pointy tip in his later appearance. All this accomplished to make him more of a [[Big Badass Bird of Prey]] and certainly more masculine in appearance. It was specifically ''this'' incarnation of Falco that was specifically [[Expy|Expyed]] as Eric Bradley Hawthorne in ''[[The Class Menagerie]]'' ([[Hilarious in Hindsight|also]] [[Ambiguously Gay]]). One thing that didn't change much about Falco's characterization, was that he was [[Only in It For The Money]] in both incarnations, and [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|much to the annoyance]] of pre-reboot Fox.
** Unlike 42-year old Peppy in ''64'', this 36-year old Peppy was barely middle-aged, and certainly not old enough to be a [[Parental Substitute]] to a Fox who was already fully-grown. But Peppy was still the best friend of Fox's father, so he was still the team's [[Cool Old Guy]], and his affection towards Fox made him the perfect [[Big Brother Mentor]]. His perky chirpy personality also made him a lot more...[[Meaningful Name|peppy]].
** 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.
Line 27:
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: It's uncertain whether the '''S'''uper '''FX''' chip was named after '' '''S'''tar '''F'''o'''X''' '' or vice versa.
* [[Cool Shades]]: One of General Pepper's most distinguishing features, along with his distinctive uniform and the lollipop he was always sucking on.
* [[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|Black Hole]] caused sucked Fox McCloud Sr. into it. {{spoiler|He lived.}}
