Dinosaur Planet

DINOSAUR PLANET


I went back and forth on including this here, since I didn't include Doki Doki Panic! in the Mario series, and this is kinda the same thing. My justification that I'm going with is that Doki Doki Panic! was released in full, and therefore had its chance to be a real separate franchise, while Dinosaur Planet did not, therefore it is simply a part of Star Fox's history. The original game was intended to be a new IP by Rare, until someone said, "Hey, the protagonist kinda looks like Fox," and then two very different genres of video game were smooshed together, leading to a game that's a disappointment for Star Fox fans and a possible beloved franchise never getting the chance to be (Although considering the ultimate fate of Rare, it was possibly for the best).

There's not too much to say, it mostly would have been the same game, except the boss Drakor would have turned out to be the secret villain, not Andross, and the main characters would have been Krystal and her brother Sabre, who got replaced by Fox. I'd say that's at least enough to qualify Sabre for a position as Krystal's echo.

Here's what we've got so far:


Characters:

Fox/Falco/Slippy/Peppy/Miyu/Fay/Fara: Arwing, walker

Wolf/Leon/Pigma/Algy

Andross

Sabre: Krystal echo


Stages:

Base


Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll Link ourselves out to the Stars of another franchise.
