“This is Fox. Returning to base!”
Fox McCloud, or just Fox, is the hero and main character of the Star Fox series and the leader of a mercenary team known as Star Fox. The team consists of Fox, Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, Peppy Hare and (for a time) Krystal. He is a master of the Arwing, a compact battle ship, and is also proficient as a sharp-shooter on land with his Blaster. His main ship, the Great Fox, is a huge spaceship with laser beam and rocket capabilities. Fox almost always has to rescue the Lylat System from Andross and, very rarely, other evil entities, like the Aparoids in Star Fox Assault. Fox was invented by Shigeru Miyamoto, who also created Mario and Link.
[edit] Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland Fox's first appearance relevant to the Mario series is in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland", introducing himself as "the fox from the TV spot". He lands on Earth with his spaceship and scares away Donkey Kong, Wario and Bowser, who attacked Mario, Toad, Kirby and Yoshi. He can also be briefly seen in the comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" from the same magazine, watching the Olympics with Peppy Hare and Falco Lombardi.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Fox gains Fox Illusion to his Fox is also lighter than he was in Super Smash Bros.. However, despite of his light weight, Fox is difficult to KO vertically, due to his very fast falling speed, but he is vulnerable to horizontal KOs. [edit] Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Fox is yet again playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although he has lately been seen without a helmet (Ex.: in Star Fox Assault), he follows his original costume design. In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Fox exits his Arwing's cockpit on the stage as his battle entrance. In the first two games, Fox was voiced by Shinobu Satouchi in both English and Japanese. However, in the cutscene in Super Smash Bros. Melee, where Fox's friends come to help, Steve Malpass lends his voice to Fox. [edit] Solid Snake Codec Conversation
[edit] Role in the Subspace Emissary Fox rides his Arwing in the beginning trying to take down the Halberd, however, the Arwing is hit and then crashes. It is later shown that the Arwing crash-landed at the edge of a jungle, near a lake. Diddy Kong discovers the Arwing, but Rayquaza rises from the lake and territorially attacks it. As Diddy is snatched up by the provoked Pokémon, Fox springs from the cockpit of the burning Arwing and proceeds to effortlessly rescue Diddy from the clutches of the large Pokémon using his Fox Illusion and Reflector. Fox and Diddy team up to defeat Rayquaza, and Fox winds up having to help Diddy in rescuing Donkey Kong from the Subspace Army. They eventually run into Bowser and fight him, but it turns out to be a False Bowser. The real Bowser appears firing his Dark Cannon at the two, prompting Fox to grab the vengeful Diddy and escape. Some time passes, and Bowser attacks again, this time turning Diddy into a trophy. Fox, however, dodges the attacks fired at him, prompting Bowser to create a False Diddy Kong. Another Arwing suddenly flies by and its pilot comes out of it, revealing himself to be Falco Lombardi. Falco swiftly destroys Bowser's Dark Cannon and proceeds to help Fox and Diddy defeat the evil doppelganger as Bowser escapes. Like Fox, Falco finds himself helping to find Donkey Kong, who they eventually discover being transported to the Isle of Ancients. After Falco assists Diddy in saving Donkey, Fox was not seen again until later, when Fox tries attacking the Halberd in his Arwing again. He is stopped by Sheik, who was trying to protect Princess Peach from Fox's fire. Peach settles the conflict between Sheik and Fox, but they are suddenly interrupted by Mr. Game & Watch flying from the ship's cockpit. Mr. Game & Watch almost immediately generates Shadow Bugs which turn him into Duon. Lucario and Solid Snake jump from the cockpit and onto the bridge and Falco reappears to assist in Duon's defeat. Fox aims his blaster at the Mr. Game & Watch trophy after the battle, but Mr. Game & Watch was then restored back to the original form and joins the team as Meta Knight takes back the ship. Fox and the other heroes then join together as they enter Subspace and find Tabuu, who easily defeats them. Fox was revived by King Dedede, who had anticipated Tabuu's power and created badges that revive fighters that they were placed on. After Fox and everyone else is rescued, they proceed to face a final confrontation with Tabuu. [edit] Special Moves[edit] Blaster

In order to perform this attack, the player must hold If the move is used near an edge, Fox will fall straight off, unable to jump or use recovery moves. However, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, if the special move button is pressed while Fox is moving, an emergency brake can be activated, stopping Fox. Falco Lombardi has a similar move called Falco Phantasm, and Wolf O'Donnell also has a similar move, Wolf Flash. [edit] Fire Fox

This move is executed by pressing the Up+ [edit] Reflector
The Reflector is Fox's down special move. It is unique for being able to deflect projectiles back at his opponents, in the same way as Pit's Mirror Shield. Previously, it was widely believed that he generated this force using some form of natural energy, but in Brawl, it was revealed to be a device invented by Slippy Toad. Fox can deal damage to other characters with his reflector if he's close enough, but it's not powerful enough to KO even above 100% damage. This move, like the Blaster, is shared with Wolf O'Donnell and Falco Lombardi. [edit] Landmaster
Next to the Arwing, the Landmaster Tank is the most powerful weapon the Star Fox team has in the Star Fox series. When Fox collects the Smash Ball, the Landmaster Tank will appear, and he will hop inside it. Opposing players can jump on top of it, but this can be a bad move, as he can roll them off the tank. The jump button allows the Landmaster Tank to hover, tilting [edit] Smash TauntBy doing a split-second down taunt, Fox will start a conversation with his team members.

His one weakness may be his difficulty earning the trust of his teammates. [edit] Trophies[edit] Melee
