Landmaster is Fox McCloud'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. While powerful, the Landmaster has somewhat slow turning, driving backwards a short distance before actually turning around. If an opponent is too close when the tank turns, they will take about 15% damage. Each blast deals about 34%. As the attack ends, the Landmaster begins to blink before fading away.

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.

Oddly both Falco and Wolf use the landmaster for there final smash, despite Falco having an open hatred of it in Star Fox 64 and Wolf never using one.

The Landmaster can be seen in action here.
