The '''''Star Fox'' universe''' ({{ja|スターフォックス|Sutā Fokkusu}}, ''Star Fox'') refers to the ''Smash Bros.'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties that hail from Nintendo's series of primarily on-rails space shooter video games. While all have been published by Nintendo, most entries were developed by a different company: Argonaut Games (originally Argonaut Software), Nintendo themselves, Rare, Namco, Q-Games, and PlatinumGames. The series takes place in a fictional star system starring anthropomorphic animals, focusing on missions undertaken by the mercenary team Star Fox, led by the main character [[Fox McCloud]], to pilot Arwing spacecraft into battle against interplanetary threats. Fox, his wingmate [[Falco Lombardi]], and his rival mercenary [[Wolf O'Donnell]] have all been featured as playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

==Franchise description==
During the early years of the NES and SNES, Nintendo worked closely with Argonaut Software, who had previously developed the 3D wireframe vector graphics-based space shooter ''Starglider'' for old computers such as Commodore 64. With them, Nintendo developed a prototype for a similar style of game on the NES (aptly titled ''NESGlider''), but even after it was ported to SNES, it was found that the SNES hardware's capabilities for anything presented in three dimensions was severely lacking. Argonaut agreed to develop a custom chip that the SNES could use to make it better at 3D, and the final product, the Super FX Chip, was more powerful than the SNES' standard processor by leaps and bounds. Nintendo designed their 3D rail-shooter game, ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' (which was renamed ''Starwing'' for the PAL release due to trademarking issues), based on this chip that was built into the game cartridge itself, and in doing so released the first 3D graphics accelerator in a consumer product. Meanwhile, Nintendo opted to avoid creating a game with all of the conventional trappings of a futuristic science fiction space shooter, and therefore gave ''Star Fox'' a cast of anthropomorphic animal characters, born out of Shigeru Miyamoto’s passion for drawing caricaturized humanoid animals in his school days. 

The 1993 release of ''Star Fox'' for the SNES was very significant in the gaming press and the eyes of the public, and the 
game won many accolades both for its ambitious three-dimensional presentation and its shooting gameplay. ''Star Fox'' is often credited with pioneering the use of 3D video game graphics on home consoles, and Nintendo took advantage of the opportunity to establish the IP as a series and franchise; however, despite a SNES sequel named ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 2}}'' 
effectively finishing development, Nintendo decided to cancel it, and a programmer explained it was because of the impending release of the Nintendo 64 and the presumed price increase of the upgraded Super FX 2 Chip (though the console would end up releasing much later than originally intended). Shigeru Miyamoto had wanted the next ''Star Fox'' game to make full use of the enormous advantages offered by the newest hardware, and so he produced ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'', which is for many intents and purposes a series reboot and a remake combining the story and gameplay elements of both ''Star Fox'' and ''Star Fox 2''. ''Star Fox 64'' (which was renamed ''Lylat Wars'' in PAL regions due to the aforementioned trademark issue) was released in 1997 to very enthusiastic critical acclaim and successful sales, becoming the single best-selling game in the entire franchise, and was regarded as an instant classic for the N64 for its refined rail-shooting gameplay, cinematic character-driven narrative complete with full voice acting, and branching paths that incentivized multiple playthroughs to uncover secret stages.

Despite the undisputed critical and commercial success of ''Star Fox 64'' and its appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series since that series' inception, the ''Star Fox'' series underwent a five-year hiatus before being brought back to public attention via unorthodox circumstances; British developer [[Rare]] had originally intended to release an action-adventure title for the Nintendo 64 called ''Dinosaur Planet'', featuring [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|three-dimensional ''Zelda''-style gameplay]] and a cast of anthropomorphic animal characters, including the newly created character [[Krystal]]. However, Shigeru Miyamoto looked over the product and noted its cast's similarities to ''Star Fox'', and Nintendo subsequently requested that Rare transform the game into a ''Star Fox'' title. The final product was manifested on the GameCube as ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Adventures}}'' and was released in late September 2002. While generally well-received and going on to become a "Player's Choice" title, ''Star Fox Adventures'' drew considerable criticism for being a particularly large departure for the series both in terms of core gameplay and setting. Rare, meanwhile, was subsequently acquired as a first-party developer for [[Microsoft]]; ''Star Fox Adventures'' was their final title for a Nintendo home console. 

The ''Star Fox'' series saw two more installments that progressively returned to the space-shooting roots established by ''Star Fox 64''. ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}'' was developed by Namco and released for the GameCube in late 2005, and features on-rails shooting segments as well as additional on-foot gameplay segments with third-person-shooter elements. Then, ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Command}}'' was developed in conjunction with Q-Games and released for the Nintendo DS in mid-2006, and alternates between an all-range shooting mode and a real-time strategy mode. The series would enter an extended hiatus with no new titles being released or announced for another 10 years except for the release of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64 3D}}'', a remake of ''Star Fox 64'', in 2011 for the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

At E3 2014, during the Nintendo Digital Event, a new ''Star Fox'' game was teased to be in development for the Nintendo [[Wii U]]. The teaser showed Miyamoto testing an early build of a ''Star Fox''-esque simulation and incorporating the Wii U GamePad's gyro controls. At the same time, two smaller projects were announced that would eventually interplay with this new ''Star Fox'' title: ''Project Guard'' and ''Project Giant Robot''. One year later at E3 2015, ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}'', a reboot of the franchise using ''Star Fox 64'' as a framework, was announced for the Wii U and co-developed by Nintendo and {{s|wikipedia|PlatinumGames}}. ''Star Fox Zero'' officially introduces a Walker mode for the Arwing, a mechanic originally designed for the canceled ''Star Fox 2'', as well as a new hovercraft called the {{s|lylatwiki|Gyrowing}} that deploys a tethered robot named Direct-i to collect items and complete various objectives. The voice cast from the Nintendo 3DS remake reprise their roles with newly-recorded dialogue, and the story was marginally retouched so that certain characters show slightly more depth.

The title heavily incorporates the Wii U’s GamePad for movement, aiming, and shooting, which drew criticism from outlets for making the controls clunky and unintuitive to learn. This, compounded with the fact that many key plot points and setpieces were lifted from ''Star Fox 64'', even discouraged some critics from finishing the game and assigning a final score. As a result, ''Star Fox Zero'' went on to become the single worst-selling entry in the franchise, not helped by the fact that it was released towards the end of the ill-fated Wii U's lifespan. The resulting uncertainty for the fate of the ''Star Fox'' series lingered long after the game's release, with only guest appearances in Ubisoft's ''Starlink: Battle for Atlas'' for [[Nintendo Switch]] serving as anything completely new for the ''Star Fox'' IP. In the meantime, ''Project Guard'' was eventually rebranded in March 2016 as ''Star Fox Guard''. This was a tower-defense game that followed Slippy and his uncle Grippy Toad as they defended a small mining facility from pestering robots. The game is structured as a camera-based tower defense game and even includes the ability to design one's own levels using the Wii U GamePad and share them. The game was released alongside ''Star Fox Zero'', with ''Project Giant Robot'' being quietly canceled.

During the development of ''Star Fox Command'', Q-Games programmer Dylan Cuthbert experienced a finished version of ''Star Fox 2'' to use as inspiration. However, the prospect of an official release for the cancelled title was not probable, according to him. To the surprise of many, ''Star Fox 2'' would see its first ever official release in September 2017 as one of the 21 games included on the SNES Classic microconsole, alongside the first ever reissuing of the original ''Star Fox'' due to both titles incorporating the Super FX Chip. The original ''Star Fox'' received its second-ever official rerelease in September 2019 as one of the first 20 games included in the SNES games service for subscribers of Nintendo Switch Online, with the second-ever official release of ''Star Fox 2'' to follow in December of the same year.

The setting of the ''Star Fox'' series is a planetary system named the Lylat system, and [[Corneria]] is the Earth-like planet that supports sapient life in this system. All sapient life, however, is composed of anthropomorphic animals belonging to a wide variety of species, but nonetheless Cornerian civilization is technologically advanced enough to allow for interplanetary travel and starship dogfights not unlike ''Star Wars''. A group of mercenaries named Star Fox, operating small assault spacecraft called [[Arwing]]s and based on a mothership named the [[Great Fox]], are regularly hired by Corneria's defense forces to conduct military operations against enemy forces that threaten Corneria and the Lylat system as a whole. The leader is [[Fox McCloud]], a red fox who inherits his position from his late father, team founder James McCloud, and his initial wingmates are the pheasant [[Falco Lombardi]], the hare Peppy Hare, and the frog Slippy Toad.

In ''Star Fox 64'', a mad ape scientist, [[Andross]], previously exiled from Corneria, launches an attack across the Lylat system, and Fox takes up the job to destroy Andross and his operations at the planet [[Venom]] and settle a personal score, while dealing with a rival mercenary team hired by Andross, Star Wolf, led by [[Wolf O'Donnell]]. Eight years later in ''Star Fox Adventures'', Star Fox is assigned to conduct an on-foot investigation of a crumbling world called Sauria, also known simply as Dinosaur Planet, and after the end of Fox's effort to stop the planet's self-destruction, an inhabitant of another destroyed planet, the blue fox [[Krystal]], joins the Star Fox team. The following year, amidst Star Fox's continued battles against vengeful remnants from Andross' army, Lylat is suddenly threatened by a race of mechanical insectoids called the Aparoids, and Star Fox must make an unlikely alliance with Star Wolf in order to save the day. Lastly, two to three years later in ''Star Fox Command'', most of team Star Fox has disbanded, but Fox is given heavy incentive to bring team members back into the fold when one last threat, a fish-like race called the Anglar, emerges out of Venom's acidic oceans to strike at Corneria. This game's story allows multiple branching paths, and a total of nine different endings are possible; the question of which one, if any, is the "canon" ending is left to player speculation. In ''Starlink: Battle for Atlas'', the Star Fox crew find themselves in hot pursuit of Wolf in the Atlas star system, who is attempting to search for additional firepower to begin his own takeover of Corneria. Both sides end up making allies in Atlas, with Wolf aided by outlaws Cash, Zonna, and Koval and Star Fox aided by the human crew from the Starlink Initiative in search of their kidnapped captain. After taking out a few of his lackeys, the Star Fox team finally find Wolf's hideout in Atlas and thwart his plans for conquest, but more help unexpectedly arrives in the form of fellow Star Wolf members Leon, Pigma, and Andrew. After one last hard-fought battle, the whole Star Wolf crew is defeated and sent tumbling back to Lylat through a transdimensional portal.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
The ''Star Fox'' franchise is represented as one of several "standard universes" found in ''Super Smash Bros.'', which consists of one character and one stage. Fox McCloud was also among the first characters created for the pitch of ''Super Smash Bros.'' as a crossover party-fighting game, alongside [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Samus Aran]].

===Fighter===
*[[File:FoxIcon(SSB).png|50px|right|link=Fox (SSB)]]'''{{SSB|Fox}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): The son of Star Fox team founder James McCloud, who was seemingly killed when his supposed teammate Pigma Dengar betrayed him to Andross' custody, Fox McCloud leads the Star Fox mercenary team in his father's name. He starts out an amateur Arwing pilot but gets more confident and cockier over the years. His main arch-enemy at first is the villainous ape scientist Andross, but his chief rival pilot throughout the series is Wolf O'Donnell, and his romantic interest is the blue fox Krystal. Among his acts of interstellar heroism are destroying Andross more than once, rescuing Sauria the Dinosaur Planet, destroying the Aparoid Queen, and defeating the Anglars. His design is based off his appearance from ''Star Fox 64''. As a fighter in SSB, Fox uses a blaster, has one of the overall best speed in the game and is middleweight. Thanks to his speed, strong neutral and combo ability, Fox ranks 4th on the current ''SSB'' [[tier list]].{{clr}}

===Stage===
''Super Smash Bros.'' features one ''Star Fox''-themed stage: 
*[[File:SectorZIconSSB.png|right|link=Sector Z]] '''[[Sector Z]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): The second-largest stage in the game takes place along the length of the Star Fox central command ship, the Great Fox, which is residing in an area of the galaxy called Sector Z, so named for the Z-shaped nebula in the background. The KO boundaries on either side of the stage are rather close to the stage's edges, so a smash attack will probably make for a KO.{{clr}}

===Music===
*'''{{SSBMusicLink|11: Sector Z Stage|11: Sector Z Stage}}''': A remix of trademark ''Star Fox'' music, heard on [[Sector Z]].
*'''[[Victory theme#Star Fox Victory Theme|21: Fox Wins]]''': The victory theme of [[Fox]] is an orchestration of the standard "Mission Complete" theme heard in general ''Star Fox'' games.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' features much more content than the original game, and the amount of properties from the ''Star Fox'' franchise is increased proportionally - though oddly enough, there are no battling [[items]] that represent the ''Star Fox'' series.

===Fighters===
*[[File:FoxIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Fox (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Fox}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): Returning from SSB, but redesigned to sport drastically increased agility, dropping speed, and a lighter build, Fox McCloud becomes one of the swiftest and most effective characters in the game. His appearance is still based off ''Star Fox 64''. His blaster is redesigned to do rapid non-knockback damage and he gains a Fox Illusion tackle as his new [[side special move]]. He is currently ranked as the best character in the game and is often used by the world's best players of ''Melee''.{{clr}}
*[[File:FalcoIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Falco (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Falco}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): A new character that functions as a direct [[clone]] of Fox. Falco Lombardi is the smart-mouthed, but experienced and trustworthy companion member of the Star Fox team, and is the most adept Arwing pilot of Fox's wingmates. His past is a mystery to the team, and after ''Star Fox 64'' he left the team for personal reasons, mainly for being tired and bored. However, after ''Star Fox Adventures'', he has since returned to his post to rediscover the thrill of flying with the team. It is hinted that Falco was formerly a member of a gang. Like Fox, Falco's design is based off his appearance from ''Star Fox 64''. As a ''Melee'' fighter, Falco is a modified version of Fox whose statistics more closely resemble the SSB version of Fox, and his slower blaster features knockback. He is a top-tier ranked fighter as well for his blend of speed and power.{{clr}}

===Stages===
''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' features two ''Star Fox''-themed stages:

*[[File:CorneriaIconSSBM.png|right|link=Corneria]]'''Lylat System: [[Corneria]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): The spiritual successor to the original Sector Z stage; this is generally the same stage in layout and concept, but with some notable differences: The Great Fox is scaled down in size, the ship's blasters at its lower left end can be jumped on as a platform, the Arwings fly around and attack differently, and the background is now the 3D environment of the planet Corneria that the Great Fox flies through as the stage progresses.{{clr}}
*[[File:VenomIconSSBM.png|right|link=Venom]]'''Lylat System: [[Venom]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): This stage is now the Great Fox rotated ninety degrees, so that its front end faces the camera, and the ship's four wings are the platforms where the battling takes place on. The Great Fox travels across the reaches of the acidic planet Venom as the stage progresses. The layout of the stage is rather small and almost cramped, making for unusual battles.{{clr}}

===Music===
*'''{{SSBMMusicLink|Corneria}}''': An orchestrated medley two songs from the original ''Star Fox'' with the Venom level and the main theme. It is heard on [[Lylat System: Corneria]]. It is Song 13 in the [[Sound Test]].
*'''{{SSBMMusicLink|Venom}}''': An orchestration of main theme heard in ''Star Fox 64''. This is heard on [[Lylat System: Venom]]. It is Song 14 in the Sound Test.
*'''[[Victory theme#Star Fox Victory Theme|Fox's Victory]]''': The victory theme of [[Fox]] and [[Falco]] is an orchestration of the standard "Mission Complete" theme heard in general ''Star Fox'' games. It is Song 44 in the Sound Test.

===Trophies===
{{main|List of SSBM trophies (Star Fox series)}}

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
The series has seen a notable boost in representation in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', now with the focus titles being ''Star Fox Assault'' and ''Star Fox Command''. Fox and Falco return as playable characters along with the debut of newcomer Wolf. The series also has features two stages, one Assist Trophy, a new item, many more music tracks, and many collectable trophies and stickers.

===Fighters===
*[[File:FoxIcon(SSBB).png|50px|right|link=Fox (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Fox}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): The veteran space mercenary makes a return appearance in ''Brawl'', sporting a mix of his designs from ''Star Fox Assault'' and ''Star Fox Command''. Fox keeps his incredible speed, and his [[Blaster]] and [[Reflector]] attacks stay intact with cosmetic upgrades. Fox's [[Final Smash]] is the [[Landmaster]], which is a vehicle that fills up a huge portion of the stage as he drives around blasting his opponents. Similar to the games, the tank can both hover and roll. Finally, Jim Walker now voices him in the English release.{{clr}}
*[[File:FalcoIcon(SSBB).png|50px|right|link=Falco (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Falco}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): Fox's wingmate and comrade returns in ''Brawl'', with an updated design based on both ''Star Fox Assault'' and ''Star Fox Command''. His moveset is similar, albeit modified from ''Melee'' in order to declone him from Fox; for instance, his normal attacks now make more use of his wings than his legs. Falco's Final Smash is also the Landmaster, having identical functionality to Fox's but with different dialogue. Finally, Dex Manley now voices him in the English release.{{clr}}
*[[File:WolfIcon(SSBB).png|50px|right|link=Wolf (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Wolf}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): Fox's longtime archrival and leader of the Star Wolf mercenary team makes his playable debut in ''Brawl''. He has a unique feral style as opposed to the other characters, and his normal attacks are visually distinct (he uses claws and occasionally his legs). His special moves are inspired by Fox and Falco's, but are heavily modified to make him more distinct. His Final Smash is also the Landmaster, but unlike Fox and Falco's it deals more damage and knockback at the expense of a shorter duration. Finally, Jay Ward debuts as his voice actor in the English release.{{clr}}

On the final character select screen (after all characters are unlocked), the ''Star Fox'' characters, joined by Captain Falcon, occupy the sixth column. All these characters are known to fly spaceships (hence having a choice of fighting only up to two of these in {{SSBB|Classic Mode}}).

===Stages===
*[[File:Icon-corneriamelee.gif|right|link=Corneria]]'''[[Melee Stages]]: [[Corneria]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): One of the stages that returns from the previous game, its only real change is the lack of knockback on the lasers shot from the Arwings. Otherwise, it's unaltered. Like in the previous game, Fox and Falco can perform a secret taunt to call their comrades (who are in their Star Fox 64 renditions).{{clr}}
*[[File:Icon-lylatcruise.gif|right|link=Lylat Cruise]]'''[[Lylat Cruise]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): This stage takes place on an original space ship called the [[Pleiades]] that travels through various locales in the Lylat system, including an asteroid field, an epic space battle, and even the atmosphere of planet Corneria.  Fox, Falco and Wolf have a secret taunt on this stage, calling their allies as they comment on the battle.{{clr}}

===Item===
* '''[[Smart Bomb]]''': An extremely powerful explosive throwing weapon.

====Assist Trophy====
* '''[[Andross]]''': Andross flies towards the background in his SNES form and spits polygonal panels out of his mouth. Any character that is pelted by the panels will take damage.

===Music===
{{main|List of SSBB Music (Star Fox series)}}
====Original Tracks====
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Space Armada}}''': An arrangement of the Space Armada theme from the first Star Fox game. Is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Corneria}}''': A remix of the Corneria background music from the original Star Fox on ''SNES''.  It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Main Theme (Star Fox)}}''': An orchestrated version of the main theme of the original Star Fox. The remix is taken directly from the Star Fox credit's soundtrack. It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.  This song is also played during Fox's Classic Mode credits.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Main Theme (Star Fox 64)}}''': A techno styled remix of the main theme of Star Fox 64.  It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.  This song is also played during Falco's Classic Mode credits.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Area 6}}''': The background music of the level known as Area 6 from Star Fox 64.  It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Area 6 Ver. 2}}''': A techno styled remix of the Area 6 theme.  It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Star Wolf}}''': The music that plays when facing the renegade Star Wolf team in the Star Fox series. This remix is taken directly from the Star Fox 64 soundtrack.  It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.  This song is also played during Wolf's Classic Mode credits.

====Returning Tracks====
*{{GameIcon|SSBM}}'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Corneria (Melee)}}''': Taken directly from Melee.  It is used on the ''Corneria'' stage.  It is a remixed version of the music heard on the stage "Venom" in the original Star Fox.
*{{GameIcon|SSBM}}'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Venom (Melee)}}''': Taken directly from Melee.  It is used on the ''Corneria'' stage.  This is a redone version of the Star Fox 64 main theme.

*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Star Wolf (Star Fox Assault)}}''': Taken directly from ''Star Fox: Assault'', this is a slower, orchestral remix of the traditional Star Wolf theme used when battling Star Wolf and when riding on the wing of Wolf's Wolfen.  It is used on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.
*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Star Fox|Break Through the Ice}}''': Taken directly from ''Star Fox: Assault'', this was the background music of the fourth mission, on the planet Fichina.  It is played on the ''Lylat Cruise'' stage.

====Victory Theme====

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
The ''Star Fox'' series largely remained dormant between the releases of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. The sole exception was the release of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64 3D}}'', a remake of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' for the Nintendo 3DS system. Some of its assets were used in ''Smash 4''. Corneria - a stage from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' based on ''Star Fox 64'' - appears exclusively in the 3DS version. Partnering with [[Namco Bandai]] - the developers of ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}'' - for the development of ''Smash 4'' enabled more content from ''Assault'' to appear in the Wii U version. In correlation with ''Star Fox''{{'}}s inactivity, the playable character [[Wolf O'Donnell]] does not return from ''Brawl''.

===Fighters===
*[[File:FoxIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Fox (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Fox}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): the leader of the mercenary team [[lylatwiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]]. He was officially revealed to return on June 11, 2013 during [[E3 2013]] along with the first trailer for ''Smash 4''. He retains his composited design from ''Brawl'' that combines elements from his appearances in ''Star Fox 64'', ''Star Fox: Assault'', and ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Command}}''. His fur is more finely detailed and his teeth are more prominent. His {{b|Blaster|Fox}} has a new, original design. Fox is overall a stronger fighter than he was in ''Brawl''. His swiftness and fast attacks satisfy a "hit-and-run" archetype. Performing an aerial [[Fox Illusion]] no longer leaves him [[helpless]] and [[Fire Fox]] carries him a much greater distance than it did in ''Brawl''. Mike West, who first voiced the character in ''Star Fox 64'', reprises the role for ''Smash 4''.{{clr}}
*[[File:FalcoIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Falco (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Falco}}''' ([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]]): the cocky ace pilot of the Star Fox team. Like Fox, he retains his composited design from ''Brawl'' that combines elements from his appearances in ''Star Fox 64'', ''Assault'', and ''Command''. He remains a [[semi-clone]] of Fox. In addition to having unique animations for attacks, Falco has greater aerial mobility than Fox but moves more slowly on the ground, attributes that have been further exaggerated in ''Smash 4''. Many of the attributes that made him a strong fighter in ''Brawl'' were weakened in ''Smash 4'' and he is ranked very low in competitive [[tier list]]s. Many of his attacks have increased [[lag]], and no longer enable strong follow-ups. He is an [[unlockable character]] in both versions of the game. Mark Lund, who first voiced the character in ''Star Fox 64 3D'', reprises the role for ''Smash 4.''{{clr}}

===Stages===
====''for Nintendo 3DS''====
*[[File:CorneriaIconSSB4-3.png|75px|right|link=Corneria]]{{GameIcon|SSBM}}'''[[Corneria]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): staged on the ''[[Great Fox]]'' as it flies over a [[lylatwiki:Corneria|city]] under siege from ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' and ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}''. [[Arwing]]s and [[Wolfen]]s occasionally fly by, serving as temporary platforms. The ''Great Fox'' occasionally fires beams of energy from the turrets on its bow. Being struck usually results in an [[instant KO]]. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 4 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Fox and Falco, the latter of which is [[unlock]]ed on this stage. Fox and Falco have special [[Star Fox Smash Taunt#Corneria and Venom taunts|smash taunt]]s on this stage that will trigger one of several conversations between the four members of the Star Fox team: Fox, Falco, [[Slippy Toad]], and [[Peppy Hare]]. Its [[Ω form]] is a floating platform like [[Final Destination]].

====''for Wii U''====
*[[File:LylatCruiseIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Lylat Cruise]]{{GameIcon|SSBB}}'''[[Lylat Cruise]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): staged aboard the Cornerian cruiser ''Pleiades'' as it flies through the {{s|lylatwiki|Lylat System}}. It randomly traverses through Corneria; {{s|lylatwiki|Meteo}}; a skirmish between the {{s|lylatwiki|Cornerian Defense Core}} and {{s|lylatwiki|Ape Army}}; and a dogfight between Star Wolf and Star Fox in the depths of space. ''Pleiades'' transitions between these locations by going into {{s|wikipedia|warp speed}}. The change in scenery is purely cosmetic and does not affect the fight. These scenarios derive from events in ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Star Fox: Assault''. Fox and Falco have special [[Star Fox Smash Taunt#Lylat Cruise taunts|smash taunt]]s on this stage that will trigger one of several conversations between members of Star Fox and Star Wolf, specifically: Fox, Falco, Slippy, Peppy, [[Krystal]], [[Wolf O'Donnell]], [[Leon Powalski]], and [[Panther Caroso]]. Though not present at launch, the most significant change to Lylat Cruise from ''Brawl'' is that fighters no longer get stuck underneath ''Pleiades''{{'}}s wings when they try to [[recover]]. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 4 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Fox and Falco. It is large enough to support [[8-Player Smash]]. Its [[Ω form]] takes place on a modified ''Pleiades'' trailing behind the ''Great Fox'' in deep space.
*[[File:OrbitalGateAssaultIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Orbital Gate Assault]]'''[[Orbital Gate Assault]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): staged in the middle of an intergalactic conflict between the Cornerian Army and the [[lylatwiki:Aparoid|Aparoid menace]] from ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}''. It is a dynamic, transitional stage that begins on the ''[[Great Fox]]'' before it moves to the background and forces fighters onto an Aparoid missile. The missile is destroyed by three Arwings, forcing the fight onto the ships themselves. The Arwings fly through the {{s|lylatwiki|Beltino Orbital Gate}} before dropping the fighters back onto a second missile. The missile strikes the gate before being destroyed by Arwings, forcing the fighters back onto them again as they are returned to the ''Great Fox''. As these transitions occur, miniature missiles, explosions, and {{s|lylatwiki|barrel roll}}s damage the fighters. If no one chose Fox or Falco, having every player hold the [[shield]] button when selecting Orbital Gate Assault on the stage select screen will cause [[Star Fox Smash Taunt#Orbital Gate Assault conversations|conversations]] to occur between Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy.  It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 4 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Fox and Falco, the latter of which is [[unlock]]ed on this stage. Only its [[Ω form]] can support [[8-Player Smash]], which is a floating platform like [[Final Destination]]. Corneria and the Beltino Orbital Gate appear in the background of the Ω form, seemingly at peace. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Orbital Gate Assault took an entire year to create.{{clr}}

==Trivia==

*''Star Fox'', alongside {{uv|EarthBound}} and {{uv|Kid Icarus}}, are the only multi-character universes where every character representing it has access to both a [[projectile]] and a [[reflection]] move.
**In this case, all of the ''Star Fox'' characters use a {{b|Reflector|disambiguation}}, and projectiles fired from their {{b|Blaster|disambiguation}}.
*The ''Star Fox'' characters in ''Brawl'' are the first in the series to use special [[victory pose|victory quotes]] depending on what other characters are present in the match.
*''Star Fox'' is one of the two universes to feature only one starter character throughout the entire series, the other being {{uv|Yoshi}}.
*As of ''Ultimate'', ''Star Fox'' and {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} are the only universes to have antagonists which do not have separate victory themes.
*''Star Fox'', {{uv|Fire Emblem}}, {{uv|Metal Gear}}, and {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} are the only universes to not feature dubs other than English, in addition to {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, and {{uv|Dragon Quest}} who do not have English dubs, in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. In this case, ''Star Fox 64 3D'' and ''Star Fox Zero'' introduced French, Spanish, German, and Italian dubs.
