'''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 [[Lylat Cruise|Lylat System]] from [[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.

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, air speed, and has the fastest walking speed. His attacks are quick to execute, though they generally lack in launching power to compensate.

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

Fox reappears as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Fox gains [[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 neutral 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 [[Smash Taunt|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]]''.

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, his respective voice actors from ''Star Fox: Assault''. While his moveset remains unchanged, Fox's [[Final Smash]] is the [[Landmaster]], in which Fox leaps up offscreen and emerges in the tank, which can be used to attack.

[[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.

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 Lombardi]]. 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 [[Princess Zelda]] (disguised as [[Sheik]]), who was trying to protect [[Princess 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]] 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.

Fox reappears as one of the returning characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. He retains his ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' design, and his moveset is unchanged from the previous games. While his 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'' and ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64 3D|Star Fox 64 3D]]''.

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 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.
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.  


On one final note, one of Fox's palette swaps references his rival, [[Wolf O'Donnell]].
=====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.

Fox appears in the Super Mario franchise as an occasional supporting character, as well as in a variety of cameos. Fox is from the Star Fox series, where he is the main protagonist and leader of a mercenary team known as Star Fox, usually consisting of himself, Falco, Slippy, Peppy, and (sometimes) Krystal. He is a master of the 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 Lylat System from Andross and other evil entities, such as the Aparoids in Star Fox: Assault. Fox was created by Takaya Imamura.

Fox in "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit".

Fox appears in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland", where he introduces himself as "the fox from the TV spot". He lands on Earth with his spaceship and scares away Donkey Kong, Wario, and Bowser, who attacked Mario, Toad, Kirby, and Yoshi.

He can also be briefly seen in the comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" from the same magazine, watching the Olympics with Peppy and Falco.

Super Smash Bros.[edit]

SmashWiki article: 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, 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, Fire Fox, in which he charges up and flies a few feet in any direction (except downwards when grounded) in an explosion.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Fox in Super Smash Bros. Melee
SmashWiki article: Fox (SSBM)

Fox reappears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Fox gains 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 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 Star Fox Adventures.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

SmashWiki article: Fox (SSBB)

Fox is yet again playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His appearance has been changed for this game, taking elements from both Star Fox: Assault and 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 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[edit]
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 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 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 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 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[edit]

Fox McCloud's artwork from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

SmashWiki article: 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, 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. 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[edit]

SmashWiki article: Fox (SSBU)

Fox appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character, this time more closely resembling his appearance in Star Fox Zero. His Final Smash has been changed to Team Star Fox, where leads a group of Arwings 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 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 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 puppet fighter of him is created.

Classic Mode route[edit]

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

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 GamePad makes a custom Fox-themed outfit for players to equip upon Miis available.

Super Mario Maker[edit]

Fox appears as a 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 +Control Pad up has Fox pose facing away from the screen, while General Pepper's "Good luck!" voice clip plays.

Other appearances[edit]

Fox appears in a commercial for the Super Comboy being conducted by Mario alongside Yoshi, Peach, Bowser, and several other characters.[1]

A 3D render of Fox from 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 Nintendo 64 and 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 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 Tom Nook from the Animal Crossing series.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

Super Smash Bros.[edit]

Following his dead father's footsteps as the young leader of the Star Fox Team, Fox McCloud's piloting of the super-high-performance combat ship ARWING for the Lylatian System is still fresh in our memories. His one weakness may be his difficulty earning the trust of his teammates.

(Classic)
Fox McCloud
Game/move:
Star Fox
3/93
Fox McCloud is the leader of a band of adventurers-for-hire known as Star Fox. Fox and his fellow pilots Peppy, Slippy, and Falco patrol the Lylat system in their mother ship, the Great Fox. From the cockpit of his Arwing, Fox leads the ceaseless pursuit of the evil scientist Andross, who doomed Fox's father.
Trophy
Fox McCloud [Smash]
(Adventure)
Fox McCloud
Game/move:
B Button: Blaster
Smash B: Fox Illusion
Fox is among the quickest and nimblest of the Smash Bros. characters. His speed is offset by low firepower, however, and he's better at one-on-one fights than melees with multiple foes. His Blaster is unique: it does damage but it doesn't make enemies flinch. His Fox illusion is best used as a surprise attack.
Trophy
Fox McCloud [Smash]
(All-Star)
Fox McCloud
Game/move:
Up & B Button: Fire Fox
Down & B Button: Reflector
Fox falls quickly, so he's a tough target to strike from below; however, this advantage can work against him when he goes flying sideways. You can use the Control Stick to set the direction of the Fire Fox technique while it's charging up. On a side note, Fox is also much lighter than he was in the N64 Super Smash Bros. game.

Fox McCloud is the leader of the mercenary flight team, Star Fox, often enlisted to defeat the evil Andross. His piloting skills are top notch, but in Smash Bros. his strength is sheer speed. His Reflector move allows him to turn projectile attacks against his foes, increasing their power for a punishing blow. (American English)
Leader of the Star Fox team, Fox is a skilled pilot with a strong sense of justice. In this game, he's quick on his feet and can use his speed to toy with opponents, attacking relentlessly and giving them no room to breathe. Even if they try to attack him from afar with projectiles, his Reflector move just sends them flying right back! (British English)

Fox is at home in the air, and many of his moves, like his up smash, Flip Kick, will send foes up there. It's great for KO'ing a damaged opponent. Another handy move is his up special Fire Fox. The flames that surround Fox deal damage to nearby foes, and you can launch yourself in any direction once charged. (American English)
The Flip Kick that Fox does for his upward smash can really send foes flying. It's well worth pulling out this attack in combos against airborne opponents. Try following it up with his red-hot Fire Fox special to hammer them repeatedly. The fact that you can fly in any direction with this move is a real bonus too! (British English)

Palutena's Guidance[edit]

  • Pit: Got any tips for fighting Fox?
  • Palutena: Fox McCloud is the leader of the mercenary flight team Star Fox. His trademark is incredible speed.
  • Pit: It's about time you showed up, Fox!
  • Viridi: That was a terrible General Pepper, Pit.
  • Palutena: You should be wary of his Blaster too.
  • Pit: Everybody, stay alert!
  • Palutena: Focus, Pit. You might think Fox's Blaster doesn't hurt all that much and ignore it, but you'll soon find out you've taken lots of damage.
  • Pit: Sorry—I'm back. OK, I'll just reflect his shots with my Guardian Orbitars!
  • Palutena: I figured you'd say that.
  • 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.
  • Pit: DO A BARREL ROLL!
