He made another appearance in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit", where he is shown watching the Olympics with Fox and Falco.

Peppy also appears as one of the Mystery Mushroom costumes in Super Mario Maker. It is unlocked randomly after completing 100 Mario Challenge on Normal setting or harder. Similar to Fox's and Falco's costume, upon touching the Mystery Mushroom, Peppy's voice clip from the original Star Fox plays. Pressing will have General Pepper say "Good Luck" from the original Star Fox. When clearing a course, the "Mission Complete" theme from the original Star Fox plays. When fall in a pit, a crashing sound and a loss of Arwing jingle can be heard; both from the original Star Fox.

Slippy Toad
Slippy Toad is a member of the Star Fox team. He is voiced by Chris Seavor in Melee, Mike McAuliffe, his respective voice actor from Star Fox Assault in Brawl and Lyssa Browne, his voice actress from Star Fox 64 and Star Fox 64 3D in 3DS / Wii U.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he returns as a guest character in not only Corneria but in Lylat Cruise, where he can be talked to through Fox's, Falco's, or Wolf's Smash Taunt. He also appears in the Nintendo Monopoly. In Shadow Moses Island, if Snake does a Codec Conversation on Falco, instead of one of Snake's team members giving a call, Slippy will come in by hacking the system.

Slippy also appears as one of the Mystery Mushroom costumes in Super Mario Maker. It is unlocked randomly after completing 100 Mario Challenge on Easy setting or harder. The costume's sound effects are the same as Fox, Falco and Peppy's, but with Slippy's voice clip from the original Star Fox used upon collecting the Mystery Mushroom.

Metal Gear Solid series
The following characters originally appeared in the Metal Gear Solid series. Colonel Roy Campbell, Mei Ling, and Otacon communicate with Solid Snake and give him advice during his missions in the Metal Gear Solid series.

Colonel Roy Campbell


Colonel Roy Campbell is a former member of FOXHOUND, and is also Solid Snake's commanding officer and close friend. He was introduced in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. He is voiced by Paul Eiding in English and the late Takeshi Aono in Japanese.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he informs Snake of his invitation to the Super Smash Bros. tournaments, and he analyzes some characters in the game, like Wario or Mario, giving tips to Snake about them.

Otacon


Otacon (real name: Dr. Hal Emmerich) is a recurring character from the Metal Gear Solid series. He is voiced by Christopher Randolph in English and Hideyuki Tanaka in Japanese. He is an American weapons designer and computer hacker, as well as an ally of Solid Snake. Otacon usually provides support by giving Snake advice via codec. He is also an otaku, which is why his nickname is "Otacon," named after the "Otaku Convention."

In the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Otacon analyzes several fighters in the game, giving tips to Snake so he can battle them more effectively. This occurs in the stage Shadow Moses Island from the original Metal Gear Solid game. Like in the Metal Gear series, the Codec frequency to talk with Otacon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is 141.12.

Mei Ling


Mei Ling is a character from the Metal Gear Solid series. She is voiced by Kim Mai Guest in English and Houko Kuwashima in Japanese. She is the one who invented Snake's wireless communication equipment, the Codec. After the player saves the game in Metal Gear Solid, she gives Snake advice by telling him Chinese proverbs and quotations by Western authors.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mei-Ling can analyze some characters in the game, like Zero Suit Samus and Pikachu, giving tips to Snake about them. This occurs only when playing as Snake in the stage Shadow Moses Island. Like in the Metal Gear series, the Codec frequency to talk with Mei Ling in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is 140.96

Palutena's Guidance
The following characters originate from the Kid Icarus series.

Viridi
Viridi is the leader of the Forces of Nature in Kid Icarus: Uprising; while she starts as an antagonist in the game trying to destroy the human race and replenish nature, she later joins in the effort to defeat Hades. She generally engages in banter with Palutena and Pit while discussing the many fighters such as Luigi and Princess Peach. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is revealed that Viridi is a huge fan of the Piranha Plant species and even wrote a thesis on it, irritating both Pit and Palutena. Hynden Walch voiced Viridi in Kid Icarus: Uprising, and reprises her role here, though she is not listed in the in-game credits. As of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, she is now voiced by Dayci Brookshire, with her recycled lines from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U re-recorded as well. In the Japanese version, she is voiced by Makiko Ōmoto, who also voices Kirby and Ness, as well as Lyn in the Japanese version, for both games.

Aside from Palutena's Guidance, Viridi also appears as a stage element in the Reset Bomb Forest stage of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Partway through the match, she fires a Reset Bomb, which detonates and transforms the stage into a forest. In the Sound Test, she is categorized under "Enemy" alongside stage hazard Metal Face and bosses Master Hand and Crazy Hand.

Chrom


Chrom is one of the main protagonists of Fire Emblem Awakening. He only appears during Robin's conversation in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Snake codec conversations
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, radio conversations between the Metal Gear Solid characters can only be activated by Solid Snake in the Shadow Moses Island stage. Otacon, Roy Campbell, and Mei Ling will communicate with Snake and give him background information and fighting skills on one of his opponents.

Star Fox
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, radio conversations can only be done on Corneria and Venom and started by Fox and Falco. There are four different possible conversations for both characters. The conversation will include Slippy, Peppy, and either Falco or Fox, depending on who activated the conversation.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the conversations can only be done in Lylat Cruise. There are five different sections of Lylat Cruise: Corneria, asteroid field, skirmish, dogfight, and starry space. The taunt will change depending on which of these sections it is activated in, along with which character activates it (either Fox, Falco, or Wolf). The conversation can include Slippy, Peppy, Krystal, Panther, Leon, and either Fox, Falco, or Wolf, depending on who activated the conversation. All of the conversations from Super Smash Bros. Melee can be triggered on the Corneria stage, and will even keep the same voices and sprites.

 * Slippy: Don't make fun of me, birdbrain!
 * Peppy: Ahh, to be young again...


 * Peppy: Fox! Be careful! I have a bad feeling about this.
 * Slippy: What? Everything's fine - I'm here!

 * Falco: Behind you, Fox! Stay alert!
 * Peppy: Just don't give up! Trust your senses.
 * Slippy: Come on, Fox!


 * Corneria
 * Peppy: Look, we're passing Corneria. Protecting this planet sure has been a lot of work.
 * Falco: Yeah, it's kept things from getting too boring around here.
 * Wolf: Don't think you can take a breather just yet, Team Star Fox!
 * Peppy: Ahhh! Star Wolf!
 * Wolf: You know you are all like us. Our fates are intertwined. We are destined to meet in battle. After all, what fun is there to be had in peace and quiet? A true warrior can only live in the battlefield!
 * Falco: Then why don't you show me what a real warrior's like, fuzzball! I'm ready if you are!
 * Slippy: Boy those guys are always itching to fight, huh?


 * Asteroid Field
 * Peppy: We've hit an asteroid field! Protect the main ship at all costs!
 * Falco: Take it easy, Peppy. We just need to blow up some of these asteroids, right?
 * Slippy: Don't worry about us, Fox! We've got things covered here. You just focus on the battle!
 * Krystal: Don't let us down, Fox!
 * Slippy: Blast 'em once for me, buddy!


 * Skirmish
 * Peppy: We're in the middle of an interplanetary skirmish. Stay sharp and keep an eye on your six!
 * Slippy: Eeep! This place is a war zone!
 * Falco: Heh, what are you worried about? These guys are weaker than overcooked noodles!
 * Peppy: Mmm? Overcooked noodles? What's that supposed to mean?
 * Krystal: That's not a terribly good comparison, is it?
 * Falco: - -


 * Dogfight

 * Krystal: Uugh! These guys are no joke!
 * Leon: Heh, I'll make sure to work you over real good before I turn you into scrap metal.
 * Panther: Do you see my red rose? It marks your imminent death!

 * Starry Space
 * Falco: Fox looks like he's got his hands full.
 * Krystal: Yes, he's putting up quite a fight, though.
 * Peppy: You know, he reminds me of his father every day.
 * Slippy: Hey, this is no time for chitchat guys! Shouldn't we be worried about Fox? He's out there with no air! How's he supposed to breathe?!
 * Peppy: Bah! Way to go, Slippy. No one would've even noticed if you hadn't opened up your big yap!

Falco's Conversations

 * Melee
 * Peppy: Look out, Slippy! Enemies behind you!
 * Slippy: Fox! I think someone's on my tail!
 * Fox: Get out of there, Slippy!
 * Slippy: Thanks, Fox! I thought I was done for!


 * Peppy: Falco! Don't let them get you!
 * Slippy: This has gotten interesting! I'm on the edge of my seat!

 * Peppy: Cut your way through with a boost!
 * Fox: Aren't you guys thinking of something else?


 * Fox: All ships report in!
 * Slippy: This is Slippy! I'm all right! I'm all right!
 * Peppy: Peppy here! I'm a little shaken, but I'm OK. Sorry... I've always wanted to say that.


 * Corneria
 * Fox: Looks like we made it to Corneria. Falco sure is a sticking it to 'em out there.
 * Krystal: Yes, but don't you find it... odd? I've never even seen some of his opponents before.
 * Fox: Well it is a brawl, after all. Everyone's in on the fight!
 * Peppy: That gives me itching for some action. I want in!
 * Slippy: No way! Old-timers like you ride the bench. This fight's mine!
 * Krystal: What are you two thinking? I'm the only one who can come through in a fight like this!


 * Asteroid Field
 * Fox: It's an asteroid belt. We've got to clear a path!
 * Slippy: EEEP! OH, THIS IS BAAAD!
 * Peppy: Get ahold of yourself, Slippy! Falco's counting on us.
 * Krystal: If we let a fragment fly off toward the ship, it could cause serious damage!
 * Slippy: I wouldn't worry too much. Falco's a tough old bird. He can take care of himself.
 * Peppy: Well... yeah, I guess you've got a point there.


 * Skirmish
 * Slippy: Wow! We're in the middle of a full-scale skirmish!
 * Fox: Keep your hat on, Slippy!
 * Peppy: Yeah, look at Falco. He's not letting the skirmish slow him up one bit.
 * Krystal: Yes, he's the fighter, all right. Who else would have the guts to open a communication channel during a fistfight?
 * Peppy: Just the same, watch yourself, Falco. Don't go getting yourself toasted by a stray laser!
 * Slippy: Good luck, Falco!


 * Dogfight
 * Wolf: Playtime ends here, Star Fox!
 * Fox: Star Wolf!
 * Leon: Hey there, boy, how do you like my new ship? Want to see what it can do?
 * Panther: I am known as Panther Caroso. I salute you, my enemy.
 * Krystal: Hmph, it looks like the gang's all here.
 * Peppy: Good enough! Come on, Fox, let's get 'em!
 * Slippy: Hey, don't forget about me!


 * Starry Space
 * Fox: Ah, finally a day free of space combat.
 * Krystal: That may be so, but it's looking like a regular war zone on top of the ship.
 * Peppy: Falco! If you lose this one, I'm never going to let you live it down! Go, Falco! Never give up! Trust your instincts!
 * Slippy: Ha! I think I've heard that line before!
 * Peppy: Erm, sorry, Fox. I kind of channeled your dad there.
 * Fox: Yeah, I noticed, Peppy.

Wolf's Conversations

 * Corneria
 * Leon: A blue planet... It's actually quite breathtaking, isn't it?
 * Slippy: Boy, I'll say! Look at all that water! It's a paradise for guys like you and me, huh? Without a quick dip in the water now and then, we get all dried out!
 * Leon: Listen, I'm no frog. Don't try to stick us in the same group!
 * Slippy: But, you've got a long stretchy tongue just like me, right?
 * Leon: Didn't I just tell you to drop the subject?


 * Asteroid Field
 * Leon: Star Wolf is here in the asteroid field.
 * Krystal: Oh my. This looks like it's going to be rather nasty.
 * Panther: Worry not, my dear. Should you find yourself in harm's way, I would use the very ship I pilot to protect you.
 * Krystal: Oh, I feel so much better hearing that. You're such a gentleman, Panther.
 * Falco: Do me a favor and get creamed by an asteroid while you're at it! I'll sleep better at night once you do.
 * Panther: Cease your jabbering, parrot!
 * Falco: What did you just say?!


 * Skirmish
 * Panther: A skirmish... Just the place for a bunch of space drifters like ourselves.
 * Leon: Star Wolf is really giving it his all out there. I'm more than a bit envious of him. Those razor-sharp claws. Those keen fangs. He moves wildly and fights with the spirit of a warrior possessed. Any prey he sets his eye on is doomed to be shredded to pieces.
 * Panther: Umm... Leon? Are you feeling all right?
 * Leon: Yes, of course! Fine! Just fine. Haa ha haaaaa ha haaahaaa...
 * Panther: Set me straight here Leon. Are you envious of the shred-DER or the shred-DEE?


 * Dogfight
 * Panther: You're foolish to anger me, bird. You must have a death wish!
 * Falco: Feh! You guys just won't learn your lesson, will you?
 * Leon: Impudent fowl! You will kneel before me!
 * Slippy: Ahhh! Guys, Falco's in trouble!
 * Falco: Can it, Slippy! The tougher the scrape, the brighter I shine! Keep back! I'll be the one to bag this cat!


 * Starry Space
 * Krystal: My, the stars out here are so beautiful.
 * Panther: Oh, but not as beautiful as your radiant self, my dear Krystal.
 * Krystal: Oh Panther, you always were quite the flatterer.
 * Panther: Amazing, isn't it? To think that the two of us were fated to cross paths in such a sparkling, endless galaxy. Even if we were on opposite sides of space, I would speed to your side, faster than a shooting star. Krystal, know that my beating heart burns red hot for you, as red as the rose I hold.
 * Falco: Good grief! Where do you come up with this stuff?! Enough already!

Palutena's Guidance
Palutena's Guidance can be triggered with Pit exclusively on the Palutena's Template stage. When used, Pit will engage in conversation with Palutena and Viridi about the character Pit is facing, though other characters appear for a few conversations, and are based upon the conversations that occur in Kid Icarus: Uprising. While the conversations are mostly based around humor as they are in the original game, they also provide some information on each fighter.
