And here's the roster select screen! Have a happy Halloween. See you all on November 10th for the start of the revisits. I believe we have at least a handful to visit.

Star Fox Adventure Mode

STAR FOX ADVENTURE MODE

Our story begins out on Papetoon, where Fox and Krystal take their son Marcus out on his first flying mission, teaching him how to work an Arwing. They run a series of trials for him, ending just as an armada appears in the sky above, made up of a combination of ships from various armies they’ve fought in the past. Andrew Oikonny appears in the command ship, laughing and taunting the McCloud family. A boss battle ensues, with you able to choose which family member you play as, and the other two acting as your wing partners.

After Andrew is defeated, you get a distress call from Admiral Peppy Hare, pleading with you to head to Corneria, as an army have attacked the planet there. The McClouds make their way, finding the planet under attack, this time with Pigma at the head, piloting the Infernal Joker. You fly a series of battles, picking up Peppy and Bill Grey as part of your party. Beltino and Grippy Toad also appear, with Grippy having a sidequest where you protect his factories from being overrun.

After the battle, Peppy shows you a missive they received just before the attacks, showing Andrew, Pigma, Captain Shears, General Scales, the Anglar Emperor, and the Aparoid Queen declaring war on the galaxy, to finish Andross’s noble work. Peppy convinces Fox that they’ll need to reform Team Star Fox and gather as many allies as they can to defeat them.

From here, you can choose where you go, with five different options that you can do in any order. These include:

AQUAS – Where Slippy, Amanda, and Lucy Hare are fighting off the forces of the Anglars, with Anglar Emperor as the final boss.

ZONESS – Where Falco, Katt, and Dash Bowman are in combat with Captain Shears and Monarch Dodora. Falco is revealed to actually be in a relationship with Katt now, which he is embarrassed to admit.

TITANIA – Where the team encounter Fara Phoenix, Miyu, and Fay, protecting a supply ship from a battle cruiser, with Goras showing up as the final battle. Things get awkward when Fox introduces Fara and Krystal.

FORTUNA – Wolf, Leon, and Panther are holding their own against a new batch of Aparoids, with a new Aparoid Queen as the final boss. Team Star Wolf are the most hesitant to join but ultimately do.

SAURIA – Krystal encounters her brother Sabre, who joins them alongside Prince Tricky, as they take on General Scales.

After beating each of these five segments, your team heads to Venom, where Pigma and Andrew pilot a combined ship. In the end, you get to the core, where you discover a clone of Andross, mixing Aparoid and Anglar DNA, stolen Cornerian tech, and Saurian magic to make him into an ultimate war machine of mass destruction. Your chosen team fly against him in a final battle, James McCloud joining you in the final phase.

After the battle, the team flies away. Slippy suggests the possibility of forming together into one ultimate pilot fleet, but Wolf, Falco, and Fara vehemently reject the idea. They are about to reach Corneria, when a rift opens in space, and Master Hand pulls the entire team in.

Star Fox Classic Mode

CLASSIC MODE

Same as before, the Classic Modes will all be patterned after games in the series. Here's the one for Star Fox 64. Naturally, it will have a similar multiple choice premise as the game:

1. Vs. Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy, on Corneria.

2. Vs. Wolfen horde, with three Star Fox members as allies, on Meteo OR Attack Carrier Boss Battle on Lylat Cruise

3. Vs. Team Star Wolf, on Snowpeak Ruins OR Vs. Arwing (Bill Grey) on Krazoa Palace OR Vs. Giant Cloyster on a water stage.

4. Spyborg boss battle, with Bill Grey, on Sector Z OR Vs. Wolfen Horde on a sun-based level, with a fire effect on the stage OR Vs. Katt Monroe on Junk Quixote

5. Vs. Giant Goras on Titania OR Vs. Landmaster horde on Macbeth OR Vs. Wolfen horde, with Katt as an ally, on Sector Z.

6. Vs. Team Star Wolf, on Atomic Base OR Gigarilla Boss Battle on Area 3.

7. Vs. giant Andross, with James as an ally, on Venom

Star Fox Assist Trophies

And here's our assist trophies and what they would each do:

1.      Clucktron: It will target items on the stage, grabbing them with its and running off the stage with them.

2.      Gigarilla: It will march around the stage, hefting up large storage containers and flipping them over for high damage.

3.      Golemech: It will run back and forth across the stage, causing walls and booby traps to go off behind it, but will do no harm itself.

4.      Herbert: He will create a clone of his summoner, who will fight as an NPC.

5.      LightFoot: He will appear on the stage carrying a Smash Ball and will run around with it at high speed, avoiding anyone who tries to attack him. If you can catch him, you will gain the Smash Ball.

6.      Miyu and Fay: Functionally similar to the Kat & Ana assist trophy, with Miyu and Fay appearing inside their Arwings, and then racing back and forth across the stage, pelting it with laser fire.

Star Fox Stage Roster

And here's the final stage roster. If this was a real roster from a real game, which one would you pick to play on first?

Venom

Finally, we have Venom, the standard “final stage” of the Star Fox series. Venom is a nearly uninhabitable planet with an acid sea and constant volcanic activity. Andross set up a base for his experiments there, and used the planet to gather an army to battle the Cornerian fleet.

Now, the Smash version of this stage is functionally another “Great Fox stage” except with the Great Fox facing the screen, and the fight taking place on the ship’s X-shaped wings. I find this layout to be incredibly awkward and frustrating, so I’d rather not use it, but I do still want Venom represented. Possibly tapping a bit more into the final runs common in most games to infiltrate Andross’s headquarters.
