Manga: Farewell, Beloved Falco

Farewell, Beloved Falco is a Canonical Manga in the Star Fox series, released only in Japan as a bundle with Star Fox Adventures. It fills in the gaps in the story after Star Fox 64 and before Adventures. As its name implies, Farewell's story focuses on Falco's Character Development, and explains the nature of his relationship with Katt Monroe and his past in the Hot Rodders.

Farewell, Beloved Falco provides examples of:

All There in the Manual: Or rather, this is the manual for some plot points in Star Fox Adventures.
All Love Is Unrequited: Katt loved Falco even since they were teenagers.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Captain Shears, a military officer on Titania, tells Fox that he needs help combating remnants of Andross's army who are planning a counterattack. In fact, Shears is trying to re-build Andross and is trying to fool Fox into attacking Falco and his group.
Cloning Blues: This is how Shears intends to revive Andross.
Expy:
- Captain Shears more resembles General Pepper's appearance pre-Continuity Reboot.
- Mousor is...Mouser.
Fan Scanlation: The English version which circulated online. Though reportedly there are some subtle differences in meaning between the Japanese and fan English dialogue as it was deliberately Woolseyized.
I Work Alone: Falco states this as the reason why he'll never want a girlfriend.
Incompatible Orientation/Ambiguously Gay: Falco was revealed not to be the straight love interest she had pined for, though whether Falco is Straight Gay or Asexual is not addressed.
Like Brother and Sister: The real dynamic between Falco and Katt in private.
The Mole: Captain Shears is a Cornerian Defense Force officer whose real loyalty is to Andross.
People Jars: Andross (or at least his brain) is being revived inside one.
Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Katt and Cool's appearance together.
Put on a Bus: The events in this story motivated Falco to leave the Star Fox team.
Ship Sinking: Falco and Katt are more Like Brother and Sister, where She Is Not My Girlfriend is done seriously. Katt is in unrequited love with Falco. Falco has a fraternal love for Katt, but one of the biggest deal breakers is his complete disinterest in girls.
Sunglasses at Night: Captain Shears, Mousor and Bowsor.
