Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sci-fi action game where players control the Star Fox team, a group of anthropomorphic animal pilots. They embark on various missions across the Lylat system, primarily engaging in aerial combat and ground-based adventures to defeat the recurring villain Andross and his forces.
Story
The History of Star Fox
Andross's Ambition (Star Fox 64)
Corneria, the fourth planet of the peaceful Lylat system, is threatened by the forces of the mad scientist Andross. In response to this crisis, the Cornerian commander-in-chief, General Pepper, entrusts the fate of the planet to Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy, who together form the Star Fox team.
After many vicious battles, the mercenaries reach the enemy stronghold on the planet Venom, where Fox challenges Andross to single combat. After a pitched battle, Fox narrowly defeats Andross and the threat is vanquished.
The Plight of Sauria (Star Fox Adventures)
A few years after the Andross affair, Fox is hired to investigate the planet Sauria. After adventuring across the surface, he reveals Andross as the culprit behind the troubles.
The team is forced into a ferocious battle, but when it seems all is lost, Falco rejoins the team in the nick of time and Star Fox once again defeats Andross. With the reinstatement of Falco and the addition of the mysterious young woman, Krystal, a new Star Fox team is born.
A New Journey (Star Fox: Assault)
One year has passed...
After getting kicked out of Star Wolf's band of thugs, Andrew Oikonny takes control of his dead uncle Andross's remaining army and starts a rebellion. The Cornerian fleet is sent out to deal with the rebels and hostilities commence.
However, Oikonny's army uses unexpected guerilla tactics and the battle takes a turn for the worse. The exasperated General Pepper asks his old friend Peppy to help stop Oikonny and the Star Fox team takes off on a new mission!

FALCO LOMBARDI
The Star Fox team's ace pilot. Falco left the team briefly to work on his own but has since returned to the fold. He says he's in it for the money, but rumor has it that he considers the team his family. He's really a kind-hearted and uncomplicated fellow.
KRYSTAL
The newest member of the team. Krystal's a mysterious young woman with extrasensory perception; she uses her talent to foresee danger and aid her teammates.
PEPPY HARE
The father figure of the Star Fox team. Peppy is a former pilot who retired because he was unable to conquer advanced age. He currently rides in the Great Fox where he issues advice and instructions to the team.

A greedy miser who thinks of nothing save his own gain. His life has been one double cross after another. His overwhelming greed and unreliability got him kicked out of Star Wolf.

A scoundrel well-known throughout the Lylat system as the leader of the ruffian gang Star Wolf. He's crossed paths and laser fire with Fox on numerous occasions; each considers the other his eternal rival.
LEON POWALSKI
