History Awesome / StarFox

* This game has little plot, so there aren't that many moments like this. However, defeating Andross gives you a very nice and satisfying ending, with Fox escaping Venom with triumphant music playing in the background. While leaving, the rest of the team follows and Fox radios General Pepper, who congratulates Fox. You see your final score and go through a Boss Montage, then the credits roll. [[spoiler: Also, the alternate ending. Fox survived a completely messed up dimension and defeated a giant Slot Machine that was causing the distortion in the level. It's partially Bittersweet and may even be considered a Downer Ending because of the implications that Andross ultimately wins, but Fox just saved an alternate dimension form an evil Slot Machine.]]

* Area 6 from ''Star Fox 64''. Why sneak into the BigBad's base when you, your 3 wingmen, and your main ship can blast directly through the frontline? Imagine: Using smart bombs to destory a minefield. Taking out experimental missiles aimed at you. Everyone joining up to take out cruisers. EnemyChatter freaking out about these "crazy guys" who are single-handedly bursting through the front line. And this stage has quite a kill count. OneManArmy doesn't even BEGIN to describe it...

* At the mission in Corneria, Fox gets trapped by Aparoids. Suddenly, on the sky, a Wolfen appears. It's Wolf! He fires the building where Fox is standing, making Fox jump off thinking that he is being shot. As he falls, Wolf flies past to save him. While he excuses himself that he wants to be the one to bring Fox down, Panther smiles saying that it's a form of respect.
** At the end of the mission, Wolf and Fox have a one-on-one chat, with each other finally accepting each other's skill. Wolf gives Fox some advice that allows Fox to survive in the final mission.
-->'''Wolf:''' ''Let me give you one piece of advice: Don't hesitate. When the time comes, just act!''

* Wolf bailing you out, and what follows is probably one of the best sections of the game.

** Wish granted, thanks to Star Fox 64 3D!

* AREA. FREAKING. SIX. OneManArmy doesn't even BEGIN to describe it...

[[ManlyTears makes the tears form...]]

* Katina in ''Star Fox 64'': If you manage to complete the mission without accidentally shooting any allies down, you're rewarded with a special cutscene -- the entire RedshirtArmy you bailed out flying in perfect formation behind Team Star Fox. As if destroying a giant mothership straight from ''IndependenceDay'' wasn't awesome enough.

* Falco [[TheBusCameBack coming back]] to [[BigDamnHeroes help Fox]] fight [[spoiler:Andross]].
-->'''Falco:''' Hey, [=McCloud=]! Different time, different planet, and you still need Falco's help. It's good to see ya, buddy.

* In ''Adventures'', Falco [[TheBusCameBack coming back]] to [[BigDamnHeroes help Fox]] fight [[spoiler:Andross]].

* In ''Assault'', at the mission in Corneria, Fox gets trapped by Aparoids. Suddenly, on the sky, a Wolfen appears. It's Wolf! He fires the building where Fox is standing, making Fox jump off thinking that he is being shot. As he falls, Wolf flies past to save him.

-->'''Wolf:''' ''Let me give you one piece of advice: Don't hesitate. When the time comes, just act!''
* Again in ''Assault'', after infiltrating the Aparoid homeworld hive on Mission 9, we see the shields reappearing. However, [[spoiler: Peppy sacrifices himself and Great Fox by ramming the (already doomed) ship towards the shields while giving a speech, allowing Star Fox and Star Wolf to enter the enemy base, giving the mourning teams a chance to fight the enemy.]]

* Some bosses are so hard(Gorgon, I'm looking at you), that killing them is its own CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Plus, Wolf bailing you out in ''Assault'', and what follows is probably one of the best sections of the game.

--> I can't stop iiiiiiit!

-->'''Wolf:''' ''Let me give you one piece of advice. When the time comes, don't hesitate. Just act!''

* ''Star Fox 2'' was never released, but it still has at least one Crowning Moment of Awesome. After you defeat Andross, you fly out of the giant space fortress just before it falls into the sun; this, in my opinion, is made more awesome by, if your player is Miyu, her line when the other character says it was close: "What are you talking about!? Pah!"

* In Star Fox 64, successfully completing the mission on planet Macbeth will show an amazing [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZeB21sTFdg scene]] of the train crashing into the supply depot and the whole place going up in flames. A definite "I rock" moment.
* Area 6 from Star Fox 64. Why sneak into the BigBad's base when you, your 3 wingmen, and your main ship can blast directly through the frontline? Imagine: Using smart bombs to destory a minefield.

And this stage has quite a kill count. Makes this troper wish Star Fox 64 had a stage select.
* When you defeat the Attack Carrier in Star Fox 64, the first boss of the game:
--> '''Pilot''': ''Who are you guys?!''
--> '''Fox''': ''We're Star Fox!''
* Katina in StarFox 64: If you manage to complete the mission without accidentally shooting any allies down, you're rewarded with a special cutscene -- the entire RedshirtArmy you bailed out flying in perfect formation behind Team Star Fox. As if destroying a giant mothership straight from ''IndependenceDay'' wasn't awesome enough.
