Background

Star Fox is a series of sci-fi rail shooter video games created by Nintendo, featuring anthropomorphic animals as characters. The setting mainly takes place in outer space in the Lylat System. Games in the series have been released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Wii U. The majority of the Star Fox games are considered rail shooters, although Star Fox Adventures is more of an adventure title in the vein of The Legend of Zelda.

Timeline

Contrary to popular belief, the Star Fox series is not a singular timeline of games, it has 3 separate timelines.

Originally, Star Fox SNES and Star Fox 64 were considered the same game, however, they have games that branch into different stories. Star Fox 2 for SNES and Adventure for 64. This means they all start at the same focal point but branch into different continuities.

Star Fox Zero would be included in this as it was made to be a reimagining of Star Fox 64, which was a remake of Star Fox SNES, that was meant to have the same story[1].

Explanations

  • Arwing: The Arwing is the personal super-high performance combat spacecraft used by members of the Star Fox Team. Developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., the Arwing is equipped with the revolutionary G-Diffuser system, an anti-gravity device which allows the pilot to accelerate or decelerate instantaneously and perform a wide variety of high performance combat maneuvers. By executing an aileron or barrel roll, the Arwing can also generate an electromagnetic shield which will deflect most optically based weapons, such as laser beams. The Arwings used by the Star Fox Team are much different from any production versions as they have been extensively modified with improved armor and advanced weapon systems, such as Hyper Laser Homing Bolts and Smart Bombs. Despite numerous revisions and redesigns over the course of the team's history, the many models of Arwings have maintained the balance of speed, power and performance that they are credited for. The Arwing starfighter is the primary battle vehicle of the Star Fox Team, and is almost the symbol of their team.
