* DracoInLeatherPants: Wolf, Leon and Panther.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Wolf, Leon The two mainstays of Star Wolf: Leon's (apparently) a cold-blooded killer, albeit one who loves flowers and Panther.rainbows, and Wolf is... Wolf. Panther also gets this a lot, as his feelings for Krystal thus redeem him.



* FountainOfMemes: Star Fox 64's voice acting is ''legendary'' for the [[MemeticMutation instant quotability]] and sheer {{Narm}} of the many, many lines. Not so much [[SoOkayItsAverage Assaults]] dialog, but Adventures has a few meme inspiring lines here and there.
* GameBreaker: [[SecretCharacter Wolf]] in ''Assault''[='s=] multiplayer mode.



* MemeticMolester: Wolf, particularly his ''Assault'' pose.
* MemeticMutation:
--> '''Falco:''' "Hands off my [[strike:prey]] bread!"
--> '''Falco:''' "Personally, I prefer the air!"

to:

* * TheMasochismTango: "Uh, set me straight here, Leon; are you envious of the shred''der'', or the shred''ee''?"
* MemeticBadass: He has a catchphrase and a manly personality... and his face screams of "RAPE TIME!" Can you guess who?
** Hey, Wolf's ''Assault'' voice is [[TeamFortress2 Engineer]]! Spy's sappin' my Landmaster!
*
MemeticMolester: Wolf, Wolf... particularly his ''Assault'' pose.
* MemeticMutation:

* MemeticMutation: Any spoken line from ''64'', especially "[[DoABarrelRoll Do a barrel roll]]!"



--> '''Wolf:''' "CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, STAR FOX!"
*** First spoken when he makes his entrance on Fichina in ''Star Fox 64'', it's become meme fodder since.

to:

--> '''Wolf:''' "CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT, STAR FOX!"
*** First spoken when
** It didn't help that the 'barrel' roll in ''64'' was actually an Aileron roll. Now a whole generation of games don't know that the barrel roll is something completely different.
*** Never mind that, but Peppy only ever says the phrase [[strike:ONCE]] TWICE (including Landmaster) during each playthrough of the game. Internet fandom would have anyone believe it's all
he makes his entrance on Fichina in ever says.
** Also, the phrase "It's a trap!" Whether the meme itself was started from ''StarWars'' first is a bit unsure, but it can easily be linked to
''Star Fox 64'', it's become meme fodder since.Fox'', obviously.
--> '''Falco:''' "Personally, I prefer the air!"
** Wolf's line "Can't let you do that, Star Fox" has lately gotten popular due to Wolf's appearance in ''SuperSmashBros Brawl''.
*** Can't let you brew that, Starbucks!
**** Can't let you view that, Firefox!
***** A rather vulgar one here; Can't let you screw that, Starfucks!
** Also should be noted, Falco's taunts in Brawl have lead to some crazy mutations due to his [[BigApplesauce Brooklyn Accent]].
*** HANDS OFF MY [[strike:BREAD]] [[strike:GRAPE]] PREY!
** [[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/News:%27Krystal_sandwich%27_meme_strikes_Fur_Affinity Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich]] :'(
* MemeticOutfit: Wolf + leather + metal... His Brawl clothes helped.


Added DiffLines:

* RecycledPremise: ''Assault's'' plotline is lifted more or less wholesale from obscure Treasure title ''Silpheed: The Lost Planet''.
* RecycledScript: In the comic series that was released at the same time as the original 1993 game, Slippy is kidnapped on Titania, but manages to rescue himself using his [[UtilityBelt Utility Necklace]]. In ''64'', Slippy is kidnapped on Titania and has to be rescued by Fox. In ''Farewell, Beloved Falco'', Slippy is kidnapped on Titania and has to be rescued by Fox ''again''. Both scenarios involve the Landmaster, but in ''64'' it's used to rescue Slippy, while in ''Farewell'' Slippy is kidnapped while piloting it.


Added DiffLines:

* SequelDisplacement: ''Star Fox 64'' was made with this ''intentionally'' in mind to replace the original Star Fox in the storyline.

* [[strike:EvenBetterSequel]] [[EvenBetterSequel Even Better Remake]] - Star Fox 64 made many, many improvements over the original [[strike:archaic]] [[TrueArtIsAncient stylish]] SNES Star Fox, and it's the most popular and remembered game in the series as a result of this.
** YourMileageMayVary. No really. For some ''very'' oldschool gamers, Star Fox 64 was not necessarily universally the moment of perfection in the series. SNES Star Fox is the second most successful Star Fox game ever published, and though Star Fox 64 was the most successful, none of its sequels were more successful than SNES Star Fox. So while many younger players grew up playing only the later Star Fox games, the conclusion that Star Fox 64 is unquestionably the best is not unanimous among the older generation. And as {{Subjective Trope}}s always go, YourMileageMayVary.
* FanPreferredCouple: In Japan, Fox X Falco dominates fan expression. There's a lot of it in the West too. [[http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=221 This is probably the most famous example]] (and a parody of [[FanNickname Falox]] shippers).

And as {{Subjective Trope}}s always go, YourMileageMayVary.
* FanPreferredCouple: In Japan, Fox with Falco dominates fan expression.
* FanYay: Half the ''Star Fox'' cast gets a lot of this. The series continues to have a very large fanbase of FanYay and {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s, which is especially well-established in Japan. This also goes beyond FanYay into the human sense of {{Gaydar}} (a form common wisdom and intuition based on life experience), so be prepared for AlternativeCharacterInterpretation to be [[BrokenBase irreconcilably split]].
** Fox, Falco, Wolf, Leon and Panther all seem incredibly popular for [[HoYay homoerotic]] FanArt and FanFiction. It's not really too surprising though, considering that most of the "active" characters are male (only Katt and Krystal are the canon females so far, outside of the semi-canonical Fay and Miyu and the non-canon Fara).
** Two more females have been added since ''Command'' (Lucy & Amanda), but only time will tell if the Big N will reuse them, or if the erotic-ship-happy fans will notice them.

Because Slippy remains plot-relevant world-wide, this essentially elevates him to TheWesley in the West.
* BaseBreaker: There is a clear line drawn down the center of the fanbase between the Krystal-lovers and Krystal-haters. Maybe also be related to why she's TheArtifact. Most pre-''Adventures'' fans refused to accept her, though ''Adventures'' itself attracted a great many new (mostly non-Japanese) fans who found Krystal especially appealing.
* BiTheWay: Fox in Japan {{Fanon}}.



* CharacterAlignment:
** Fox is ChaoticGood.
*** In Fox's own words, "We prefer doing things our own way."
** Falco is ChaoticGood.
** Peppy is LawfulGood.
** Slippy is NeutralGood.
** Fara is NeutralGood.
** Wolf is ChaoticNeutral.
** Leon is TrueNeutral.
** Pigma is NeutralEvil.
** Panther is either ChaoticGood or TrueNeutral.
** Krystal is initially NeutralGood, then ChaoticNeutral in ''Command''.
* CompleteMonster:
** Andross, obviously, being a planet-wrecking EvilutionaryBiologist. Andross [[ConvenientlyAnOrphan killed both of Fox's parents]]. One by [[MurderByMistake accident]], but that still doesn't make it any better.
** Leon is supposed to be one, but we never actually see him do anything depraved.
*** He's more of a ColdSniper and TheStoic than a monster.
** Pigma takes the cake. Even Wolf hates this guy. To say that he is a sick, sick fuck is the {{understatement}} of the year. As if betraying Fox's dad (who he was supposed to be friends with!) to Andross wasn't enough, in ''64'', he takes the time to bring up James ''every single time'' he sees Fox.
---> Pigma, to Fox: "Daddy screamed reeeeeeeeal good, before he '''DIED'''."



* EnsembleDarkhorse: In Japan, Leon, Panther, Falco and Slippy are quite popular, overshadowing Fox. Since ''Assault'', Wolf rose to the top of fame as well.

---> '''Fox:''' Don't laugh.
---> '''Falco:''' S-sorry, Fox. ...Mmmph! Mmm.. HAAAAAA ha ha ha!
** Wolf in ''Assault'':

** Leon's secret conversation with Panther in ''SuperSmashBrosBrawl''.
--> '''Panther''': Are you more envious of the Shred-DER or the Shred-DEE?

In localization however, his last name is changed to Caroso. Again, another translation mishap occurred in ''Command'' and changed his last name into Caruso. In the localization of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, they used Caroso, confirming Caroso being the official last name for Panther outside Japan.
** Then again, Command has a large amount of translation errors. For instance, Panther speaks in third person in the English translation, yet speaks normally in other languages.
** Dash's Japanese name is Ash. Dash is supposed to be a reference to a sci-fi movie character.
** Don't forget Doctor Andorf--er, Andross.
** The ice planet in ''Star Fox 64'' is Fichina, but was called "Fortuna"--an unrelated planet from the original game--in localization. The correct name is used in ''Star Fox Assault'', since it includes both planets.

** The ice planet in ''Star Fox 64'' is Fichina, but was called "Fortuna"--an unrelated planet from the original game--in localization. The correct name is used in ''Star Fox Assault'', since it includes both planets.
*** Also in ''Star Fox 64'', planet Katarina was localized as "Katina"--and is still referred to as such in ''Assault''.
*** From the same game above, Japanese materials romanized "Bolse" as "Volus."
* HetIsEw: Branches of the fandom are not pleased with their favorite male characters getting female [[OfficialCouple love interests]].
* MostAnnoyingSound: No, Slippy, I will not get that guy off you, shut the fuck up.
* SoBadItsGood: The dialogue. Star Fox 64 has a great voice cast that makes the narmiest and cheesiest lines awesome.
* SoOkayItsAverage: ''Assault'' is widely regarded as this by fans and some reviewers. Interestingly, it's the worst-reviewed game in the series, but you'd actually be hard-pressed to find a fan that prefers ''Command'' over it.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: A good 95-100% of the criticism of ''Star Fox Adventures'' was some variant of this or "It's not Starfox 64."
* TheyJustDidntCare: Panther's severe change in speech (and even his surname) in Command.
** Not to mention several characters inexplicably showing up with radically changed appearances or personalities (Krystal is either a cold heartless bitch or simply a hurt, yet forgivable woman scorned depending on what path you take in the game).

Dude, seriously, this is YMMV, but that entry still needs work (as technically, Fox and Krystal don\'t fit that trope at current). Include the bit about Wolf and Fox if you want, but restructure it. Also, the page does not need \'\'two\'\' Fan Yay entries.


* FanPreferredCouple: In Japan, Fox with Falco dominates fan expression. In the West, Fox with Krystal is nearly as ubiquitous. Both {{Ship}}s have minorities in the opposite region, with Fox/Wolf being a sizable minority both places as well. Expect plenty of ShipToShipCombat in the fandom.

* FanYay: Fox, Falco, Wolf, Leon and Panther all seem incredibly popular for [[HoYay homoerotic]] FanArt and FanFiction. It's not really too surprising though, considering that most of the "active" characters are male (only Katt and Krystal are the canon females so far, outside of the semi-canonical Fay and Miyu and the non-canon Fara).

* BrokenBase: Several divisions divide fans of the series. Mainly between the ones that like the games that came after ''StarFox 64'' or not. Then there's the [[TrueArtIsAncient die-hards]] who consider the original ''Star Fox''/''Starwing'' to be the better game.
* CrackPairing: One such pairing that has occurred recently is Wolf/Lucy. Shippers point to the appearance of Lucy's daughter in the ending "Goodbye Fox", claiming that she shares some of Wolf's traits.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: In Japan, Leon, Panther, Falco and Slippy are quite popular, overshadowing Fox. Since ''Assault'', Wolf rose to the top of fame as well. And then Panther came along and, because of his personality as well as being a cat... Well, let's just say he's used a lot as a subject in NicoVideo as someone who is dancing, doing silly things, etc.

* FanYay: Half the ''Star Fox'' cast gets a lot of this. The series continues to have a very large fanbase of FanYay and {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s, which is especially well-established in Japan. This also goes beyond FanYay into the human sense of {{Gaydar}} (a form common wisdom and intuition based on life experience), so be prepared for AlternativeCharacterInterpretation to be [[BrokenBase irreconcilably split]].

** Two more females have been added since ''Command'' (Lucy & Amanda), but only time will tell if the Big N will reuse them, or if the erotic-ship-happy fans will notice them.
* FetishFuel: [[strike:Krystal]] ''Many characters'', judging by some of the fanart out there.
