Fox would then be featured in ''Star Fox Adventures''. Initially sent on a mission to survey disturbance reported on Dinosaur Planet, he eventually gets wrapped up in stopping a plot to insurrection of the planet by {{s|lylatwiki|General Scales}}, and later Andross. Fox is joined by dinosaur prince Tricky and [[Krystal]], the latter would officially join the Star Fox team and replace Peppy as a pilot.

In ''Star Fox Assault'', Fox once again leads his team to save the galaxy, this time from the {{s|lylatwiki|Aparoids}}. The relationship between Fox and Krystal slowly bloomed into love, which considered Fox as he was afraid to lose another loved one. He decided to let Krystal go from the team. By the events of ''Star Fox Command'', the team had fallen apart and unoffically disbanded. However, the Anglar empire invades the Lylat system and Fox has to get whoever he can to help him fight the empire off. Depending on the actions of the player throughout the game, Fox will either go against the army alone, team up with one or more of his former teammates, look for Wolf and team up with him, get back together with Krystal and have a child with her, drive Krystal away again, or abandon his former life and become a G-Zero racer instead.

Fox has been compared to Luke Skywalker of the Star Wars franchise several times, including Nintendo Player's Guide for ''Assault''. Fox is often depicted as outspoken and righteous in his actions, putting the wellbeing of the innocent above all else. Nothing will get in his way of completing the mission, even if it means fighting. Fox likes to be in control of the situation at all times and becomes uncomfortable to the point of complaining when things don't go according to plan. This can be seen in ''Adventures'' where he expresses disappointment when General Pepper forbids him from bringing a blaster to a mission. Despite his reputation as a confident leader, Fox does have secret insecurities about not living up to his father. Still, he managed to save the galaxy several times and learned to trust himself over time.

[[File:Fox SSBB.jpg|180px|thumb|Fox, as he appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]Fox McCloud is a starting playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. His design is a mix between his ''Star Fox Assault'' and ''Star Fox Command'' appearances, but his fur has its color scheme from ''Star Fox 64''. It is also the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' game where Fox's eyes are their proper color (green). His special moves are unchanged. Fox additionally now has a [[Final Smash]], in which he summons the [[Landmaster]] tank.  Fox gets in and the player directly controls the tank to hover, fire shots, roll, and move. The tank is treated like a platform, so characters can actually stand on top of the tank.

Fox was confirmed as a playable character during the [[E3]] 2013 [[Nintendo Direct]]. Like his appearance in ''Brawl'', Fox's appearance is primarily based on ''Star Fox Command'', but he appears to have higher quality fur visuals, similar to Donkey Kong. Contrary to his appearance, Mike West, his ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Star Fox 64 3D'' English voice actor, now voices Fox. However, he is still voiced by Steve Malpass in Corneria and Jim Walker in Lylat Cruise.
