'''Landmaster''' is [[Fox McCloud (SSBB)|Fox McCloud]]'s, [[Falco (SSBB)|Falco's]] and [[Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf's]] [[Final Smash]]. He leaps up into the sky, coming back down the eponymous Landmaster Tank and the player gains control of it. It can hover using the jump button, roll using the control stick, and fire using the attack button. Players can also stand on top of the tank, but can be easily be thrown off by rolling. As the attack ends, the Landmaster begins to blink before fading away. This [[Landmaster]] is the more balanced of the three, having centered out strength and manueverability.

It appears to be very similar to Fox McCloud's Final Smash. The weight, power, and color appear to be the same. The one noticeable difference is that Falco's jump jets appear to go higher. He is at one point seen flying so high, it star-KO's the person standing on top of the landmaster. Falco's Landmaster also is much quicker than the others.

The tank's appearance is a cross between its ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' look and its ''Star Fox Assault'' look. It maintains the sharp and futuristic appearance it had in ''Assault'', but still has the traditional tank treads from ''64''. (In ''Assault'', the Landmaster ran on off-road wheels)

Due to it's size, the cannon of the Landmaster fires above most character's heads, requiring a bit of strategy to properly use. Also, it comes from the sky as seen in gameplay videos and even goes off from smaller platform. This makes it difficult to use in small stages such as [[Battlefield (SSBB)|Battlefield]].

Oddly, both Falco and Wolf use the Landmaster for their Final Smashes, despite Falco having an open hatred of it in Star Fox 64, and Wolf never using one in single-player. Recent Brawl English dialog's even have Falco saying "I prefer the Air" as his Final Smash line.

Because three characters use the Landmaster despite the blatant contradiction of the ''Star Fox'' canon, the term "Landmaster" has come to colloquially refer to any move that more than one character shares. The Landmaster has also become a recurring joke on many forums, in which the Landmaster is sarcastically referred to as something that there is not enough of in the game.
