* CelibateHero: Falco, based on a [[FanTranslation Fan]] {{Scanlation}} of ''FarewellBelovedFalco''.
-->'''Katt:''' Hey, Falco, have you found a girlfriend yet?\\
'''Falco:''' No way! Never have, never will. I fly solo, babe.
** It's been said that the original Japanese version of these lines has a completely different nuance. These two lines are some of the [[LostInTranslation most disputed]] among Falco fans, with potential implications towards Falco's overall [[AmbiguouslyGay sexual orientation]] and love life. This makes an accurate translation of ''FarewellBelovedFalco'' as a whole [[SeriousBusiness a sensitive issue]].

** In r&#333;maji, for the kana-illiterate:
-->'''Kyatto:''' Nee Faruko ni wa koibito wa iru no?\\
'''Faruko:''' Ore wa ima mo mukashi mo horeta hareta ni wa kyoumi wa nee.
** The literal translation is:
-->'''Katt:''' Hey Falco, do you have... a lover?\\
'''Falco:''' Even now and even before, I have no interest in falling head over heels for someone.
*** Translation notes: In the Japanese text he never uses a gender kanji, rather leaving the interpretation about being okay with falling in love with a man or a woman.
** Basically, Katt asks Falco if he has a lover, using a [[GenderAndJapaneseLanguage gender-neutral Japanese term]]. Falco responds that he doesn't have lovers, but using fence-sitting wording that makes his answer sound rather unreliable. Both the scanlation and the Japanese text have the effect of eliciting a reaction from readers with a strong personal {{Gaydar}}, but the subtle differences in tone seem LostInTranslation, such that Falco's ''actual'' celibacy is still in question. However, when it comes to Falco and women, both versions of the manga as a whole paint Falco as someone who can be platonic friends with women, but is strongly (and even angrily) averse to anything further than that.
*** Since {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness, and especially so in the ''Star Fox'' fandom, the topic of Falco's celibacy is seldom a dispute between fans who actually ''want'' Falco to be celibate -- rather, it's usually ShipToShipCombat to [[ShipSinking Sink a rival Ship]], usually Falco×Fox vs. Falco×Katt. A ''celibate'' Falco is relatively neutral ground, allowing Falco to have both Fox and Katt as PlatonicLifePartners without being in a romantic relationship with either one.

Don't put opinions or stuff about critical reception in the main article, see Edit Tip 12. Also, no need to say a work has a character/ymmv/whatever sheet, that's what the icons are for.

Changed line(s) 11,13 (click to see context) from:

* '''''[[VideoGame/StarFox1 Star Fox]]''''' (released as '''''Starwing''''' in Europe), for the SuperNES. Technologically advanced for the time - Nintendo put a coprocessor chip on the game cartridge to handle the 3D rendering. Had some of the most memorable music in the entire series, composed by Hajime Hirasawa who then left Nintendo. An SNES sequel, '''''VideoGame/StarFox2''''', was produced in 1995 and had extra features such as evasive maneuvers and free-roaming levels, but was ultimately never released and most of the new features were incorporated in the next game in the series:
* '''''VideoGame/StarFox64''''' (released as '''''Lylat Wars''''' in Europe), a KillerApp for the Nintendo 64, was a [[VideoGameRemake remake]] of the original game, and is usually considered to be the strongest game in the series, with frenetic and fun dogfighting and good gameplay variety. It's short, though, and the difficulty swings wildly between fairly easy (on normal mode) and [[FakeDifficulty cheaply difficult]] (on Expert). Notable as the first game to support the N64's Rumble Pak (the first mainstream vibrating controller accessory, coming out before Sony's Dualshock), which came bundled with it. An enhanced port of this game was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011, which added little other than a graphical update.
* '''''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures''''', also known as ''Dinosaur Planet'', is generally the black sheep of the series. This isn't so much because it was poorly regarded by critics or fans (in fact, the game got fairly good reviews - better than both ''Assault'' and ''Command'' - and it's consistently cited as one of the best-looking games on Gamecube) but due to not originally being a ''Star Fox'' game at all. Instead, its origins lie in [[DolledUpInstallment an unrelated N64 adventure game moved into the franchise]] (and to the Gamecube) by Nintendo's urging during development. The game did introduce Fox's on-again-off-again love interest, Krystal, who was integrated into the main series. Incidentally, this game was the last Rare-developed game for a Nintendo console before they were bought out by Microsoft.
