'''Fox''' appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as an occasional supporting character, as well as in a variety of cameos. Fox is from the [[LylatWiki:Star Fox (series)|''Star Fox'' series]], where he is the main protagonist and leader of a mercenary team known as [[LylatWiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]], usually consisting of himself, [[lylatwiki:Falco Lombardi|Falco]], [[lylatwiki:Slippy Toad|Slippy]], [[lylatwiki:Peppy Hare|Peppy]], and (sometimes) [[lylatwiki:Krystal|Krystal]]. He is a master of the [[lylatwiki:Arwing|Arwing]], a compact battle ship, and is also proficient as a sharp-shooter on land with his Blaster. Fox and his team commonly have to rescue the [[LylatWiki:Lylat System|Lylat System]] from [[LylatWiki:Andross|Andross]] and other evil entities, such as the [[LylatWiki:Aparoid|Aparoid]]s in ''[[LylatWiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]''. Fox was created by Takaya Imamura.

====''Super Smash Bros.''====
[[File:Fox SSB artwork.png|thumb|left|Fox's art from ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Fox (SSB)}}
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Fox appears as a playable character. Based primarily on ''Star Fox 64'', Fox's voice clips are provided by Shinobu Satouchi. He is among the fastest characters in many aspects, including running speed (only behind [[Captain Falcon]]), fall speed, and air speed, and has the fastest walking speed. His attacks are quick to execute, though they generally lack in launching power to compensate.

His standard special move, [[smashwiki:Blaster (Fox)|Blaster]], fires a laser that damages opponents, and his down special [[[smashwiki:Reflector (Fox)|Reflector]] can reflect most projectiles (including items) to the thrower or shooter. In addition, he is given a recovery, [[smashwiki:Fire Fox|Fire Fox]], in which he charges up and flies a few feet in any direction (except downwards when grounded) in an explosion.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:MeleeFox.jpg|thumb|left|Fox in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Fox (SSBM)}}
Fox reappears as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Fox gains [[smashwiki:Fox Illusion|Fox Illusion]] as his side special move, which makes Fox swiftly dash horizontally (even farther than his up special move, Fire Fox) though it cannot be directed in any other way. His Blaster standard special has also been changed: it has a higher rate of fire, but now does not deal any hitstun or knockback. Fox is lighter in this game (among the lightest characters in the game), making him more susceptible to horizontal KOs, though he keeps his fast falling speed which helps against vertical KOs. His air speed has also been decreased to the point that he is among the slowest in the game. Fox's throws (except for forward throw) now involve his Blaster, and deal varying amounts of damage depending on the number of shots he uses. Fox's forward aerial is also changed to several roundhouse kicks, which have a "hovering" effect, allowing for a limited degree of recovery. Several other moves in Fox's moveset are also changed.

Fox and Falco also have [[List of Smash Taunt characters|Smash Taunts]] which can be triggered on both [[Corneria]] and [[Venom]], in which the other ''Star Fox'' characters engage in radio conversation. In addition, Fox appears in the conversations initiated by Falco. During these, he is voiced in the English release by Steve Malpass, who would be his voice actor in ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Adventures|Star Fox Adventures]]''.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:BrawlFox.jpg|thumb|Fox's artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Fox (SSBB)}}
Fox is yet again playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His appearance has been changed for this game, taking elements from both ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]'' and ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Command|Star Fox Command]]''. He is also now voiced by Jim Walker in English and Kenji Nojima in Japanese, both his respective voice actors from ''Star Fox: Assault''. While his moveset remains unchanged, Fox's [[Final Smash]] is the [[smashwiki:Landmaster|Landmaster]], in which Fox leaps up off-screen and emerges in the tank, which can be used to attack.

Fox also has a new Smash Taunt on the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage, as well as the one on the returning Corneria stage.

=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-Fox.png|thumb|left|Fox's snapshot 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 Character|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]]. 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 [[Zelda]] (disguised as [[Sheik]]), who was trying to protect [[Princess Peach|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|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 (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] and find [[Tabuu]], who easily defeats them. Fox is 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.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
[[File:FoxSSB4.png|thumb|Fox's artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Fox (SSB4)}}
Fox reappears as one of the returning characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. He retains his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' design, and his moveset is unchanged from the previous games. While his voice actor in Japanese is also the same as the previous game, his English voice actor has been changed to Mike West, who voiced Fox in ''Star Fox 64'', ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64 3D|Star Fox 64 3D]]'', and later on, ''Star Fox Zero'' and ''Starlink: Battle Atlas''. Additionally, one of Fox's alternate costumes closely resembles his rival, [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]]. Several of Fox's moves have new animations, such as his smash attacks when they are being charged.

In addition to the one on Lylat Cruise and Corneria, which return in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' respectively, Fox is not given a new Smash Taunt exclusively, and instead appears in the Smash Taunts that can be triggered on [[Orbital Gate Assault]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', by having all human players hold down the trigger buttons on the controller while selecting the stage.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Fox (SSBU)}}
[[File:07-Fox.png|thumb|left|100px|Fox's stock icon]]
Fox appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a playable character, this time more closely resembling his appearance in ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Zero|Star Fox Zero]]''. His Final Smash has been changed to [[smashwiki:Team Star Fox|Team Star Fox]], where leads a group of [[Arwing]]s to attack. Mike West reprises his role as Fox, but with new voice clips recorded for him, such as saying "Come at me!" rather than "Come on!" for his down taunt. In Japanese, he is now voiced by {{wp|Takashi Ōhara}}, his voice actor in the Japanese versions of ''Star Fox 64 3D'' and ''Star Fox Zero'', who also provided [[Link]]'s voice in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Fox runs faster, though is now lighter than [[Kirby]]. Fox's forward aerial is nicknamed Tornado Kick, while his up aerial is McCloud Flip.

In the Adventure mode, Fox is seen to be leading the fighters when he and the other fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. Although Fox is not shown to be hit by Galeem's beams directly, he, like every fighter except Kirby, is imprisoned in the World of Light, where a [[smashwiki:False character|puppet fighter]] of him is created. 

=====Classic Mode route=====
By completing Fox's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock [[Captain Falcon]], [[Samus|Zero Suit Samus]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Falco]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], or [[Mewtwo]]. The route is themed on fighting characters connected to space in some way.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
[[File:Fox-Mii.jpg|thumb|The Fox outfit for Miis.]]
As of version 3.0, Fox only makes a cameo in the Mii Racing Suit menu of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''; likewise, his [[amiibo]] is compatible with the game. Placing it on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] makes a custom Fox-themed outfit for players to equip upon [[Mii]]s available.

===''Super Mario Maker''===
Fox appears as a [[Costume Mario#92|costume]] for [[Costume Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Fox's costume can be unlocked by scanning his respective [[amiibo]] or randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert difficulty. Fox's transformation sound is his radio voice clips from the original ''Star Fox''. The stage clear theme is the "Mission Complete" theme from the original ''Star Fox'', while his death sound is the respective theme from ''Star Fox'', including the Arwing exploding. Finally, pressing {{button|wii|padup}} has Fox pose facing away from the screen, while General Pepper's "Good luck!" voice clip plays.

===Other appearances===
Fox appears in a commercial for the [[Super Comboy]] being conducted by [[Mario]] alongside [[Yoshi]], [[Peach]], [[Bowser]], and several other characters.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzBHMmDBKuE Hyundai Super Comboy Commercial (fixed audio)]</ref>

A 3D render of Fox from ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]'' can be used like a stamp in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''. The names "Fox" and "McCloud" can be seen as separate items on the score chart in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64]] and [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color]] versions of ''Mario Golf'', and Fox appears as a badge in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''. Along with a couple of other Nintendo characters, Fox was also [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|supposed to appear]] in [[Starbeans Cafe]] instead of [[Professor E. Gadd]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

Fox appears in the 2006 version of [[Nintendo Monopoly]], where he acted as Connecticut Avenue/Pentonville Road, and costs $120. In the 2010 version, he was replaced by [[nookipedia:Tom Nook|Tom Nook]] from the [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|''Animal Crossing'' series]].

*'''Pit''': Huh? Is that...not what I should do?
*'''Palutena''': Like I said, he's quick on his feet, so there's no telling when he'll suddenly rush in and grab you. You've got to watch your back constantly when Fox is around.
