| - The Star Fox Adventure never happened. With that out of the way, we speak of Fox McCloud's most notable gaming accomplishment, Star Fox 64. Fox's unit has no problems jumping in to help save the Lylat System when they hear that Andross the mad scientist is behind the invasion. Fox's major weakness is having the full trust of his wingmen due to his brash nature, but they all overcome this en route to helping Fox earn a meeting with Andross face to face. Fox of course wins, and his father is avenged. But the story of Star Fox 64 takes a back seat to how damn good the game was. It was the first N64 title to use the rumble pack, and the gameplay and replay value was absolutely off the charts. Compounding Star Fox 64's success is the fact that it is one of the most quotable games of all time; not one thing spoken in the game isn't completely awesome. The level design, enemies, control and boss fights are all top notch, and we may never see another game quite like it. Hence why Star Fox 64 is the only Star Fox game of any note. The original Star Fox aged horribly, Star Fox Assault was underwhelming and Star Fox Adventure never happened. This leaves Fox with one main accomplishment in the gaming world, and it's rapidly becoming a distant memory in dire need of a good sequel. That said, it's worth noting that Fox is one of the best characters in both Super Smash Brothers titles. He was almost top tier in the original, with raw power and KO potential being his only weakness. This was fixed up in SSBM, and anyone able to master the fine art of sensitivity control can turn Fox into a near-unbeatable weapon in tournament play. "Do a barrel roll!" - Peppy Hare
