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.

Fox was sightly [[nerf]]ed from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4'', with his finishers being weaker, and his Blaster being made much less useful; however he gained more effective recovery options to compensate.

*Fox was based on a kitsune statue at the entrance of Fushimi Inari-taisha, and the kitsune are said to have magic powers such as fire-wielding. Fox's more bizarre moves are likely a reference to this as they are not present in the {{uv|Star Fox}} universe.
