History VideoGame / StarFoxCommand

* OperationJealousy: Why Krystal joins up with Star Wolf and begins a relationship with Panther; to get back at Fox for kicking her off Star Fox.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Much ([[ShrugOfGod possibly]] ''all'') of the game has been deemed non-{{Canon}}; at the very least, all but one of the nine different endings is non-Canon, although early WordOfGod suggested that the next game will likely pick up midway through ''Command'' and follow an unseen ''tenth'' ending.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Octoman from ''VideoGame/{{F-Zero}}'' appears as a boss. The Octoman here has [[InNameOnly pretty much nothing in common with the original]], being loud, delusional, and violent while his counterpart was shy, intelligent, and friendly (unless one counts [[{{AlternateContinuity}} the anime]]). Even the name itself is a misnomer as he has only half as many limbs, which is pointed out in one of the paths.

* BabiesEverAfter: Certain of the endings show the offspring of the team. Slippy and Amanda end up having at least six children (all unnamed) in one ending, in another their son ends up joining a possible future team composed of Fox and Krystal's son Marcus (the leader of said team), Peppy's granddaughter (presumably Lucy's daughter, father unknown), and [[{{CoolOldGuy}} elderly Falco]].

* LegacyCharacter: The game actually features three generations of the [=McCloud=] family in one. Fox is of course, a main character, but James also makes a brief appearance, and one of the endings features Marcus, the son of Fox and Krystal, leading a future Star Fox team. Said team is also made up of Slippy's son (one of many according to another ending) and Peppy's granddaughter, with Falco seemingly taking the same role that Peppy used to as team mentor.

''VideoGame/StarFox Command'' is the direct sequel to ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault'', published on NintendoDS in 2006. As of 2013, it is still the latest non-VideoGameRemake title in the series to be released.

* ActionGirl: By the end of one route, your team consists of Krystal, Katt Monroe, Lucy Hare, and Amanda Toad, who get to defend planet Corneria. It leads to a big feast prepared for the guys while they're off on Venom.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Happens in some paths, although there is usually some relevance. The only problem is that the game doesn't bother to explain why the Great Fox is suddenly commanded by someone else.

* BabiesEverAfter: Certain of the endings show the offspring of the team. Slippy and Amanda end up having at least six children (all unnamed), one of their sons joining a possible future team. Fox and Krystal end up having a son named Marcus, who becomes the leader of said team. And Lucy has an unnamed daughter (father unknown) who also ends up joining.

* BigBad: Anglar Emperor.

* CanonDiscontinuity: Much ([[ShrugOfGod possibly]] ''all'') of the game has been declared non-{{Canon}}. At the very least, all but one of the nine different endings is non-Canon.
** WordOfGod is that whatever the next game is will pick up midway through ''Command'' and create a ''tenth'' ending.
* ContinuityNod: The Lylat System should look familiar to anyone who's played ''StarFox64'', as that is where the locations come from, though a few are missing from ''64''. (With Bolse and Area 6, their absence is because of the fact that they were artificial structures made to protect Andross's base and were destroyed by the Star Fox team on their way to said base during the events of that game.)

* ADayInTheLimelight: Several of ''Command'''s branches follow characters other than Fox. Characters that benefit include Falco, Slippy, Star Wolf, and newcomer Lucy.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Both the Star Fox team and the Star Wolf team have gotten more diverse aircraft.

* GPSEvidence: In ''Command'', R.O.B is able to pinpoint Venom as the origin point of the Angler Army... because their ships are made out of a noncorroding metal, which means they can function in Venom's caustic seas. Kind of a leap of logic.

* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: One of the first branches is simply "I wonder what Falco is up to?" Which immediately shifts over to Falco's point of view, and continues in a linear path as Falco has his own set of adventures, leading him to a battle with Pigma. Unfortunately, this doesn't intersect with the main plot at ''all'', which causes him much grief when he realizes he missed out on all the fun and glory.
* HappilyMarried: Fox and Krystal in one of the endings (having one child, Marcus). Slippy and Amanda in most of the endings (having a ''whole lotta'' children). And what little we are told about Vivian Hare, Peppy's deceased wife, suggests that they also fit the trope when she was still alive.

** The same can be said on the Star Wolf-specific stages, with Wolf being JackOfAllStats (albeit closer to a LightningBruiser, since the Wolfen is basically an Arwing with vastly improved firepower), Leon is the StoneWall (high armor but heavily reduced in firepower, he can only fire charged shots and requires lock-on), Panther is the GlassCannon (his Zapper obliterates everything but he has weak armor, not that his good boost prevents him from barrel-rolling to defend him), and Krystal is The Ken (pretty much very balanced like Fox).
* LegacyCharacter: The game actually features three generations of the [=McCloud=] family in one. Fox is of course, a main character, but James also makes a brief appearance, and one of the endings features Marcus [=McCloud=], the son of Fox and Krystal, leading a future Star Fox team. Said team is also made up of one of Slippy and Amanda's (many) sons and Lucy Hare's daughter, with Falco seemingly taking the same role that Peppy used to as team mentor.

** Same with Dash Bowman. Aside from Andrew, the previous games never implied that Andross had any other additional family, certainly not children or grandchildren of his own.

* ReusedCharacterDesign: Octoman from ''VideoGame/{{F-Zero}}'' appears as a boss. The Octoman here has [[InNameOnly pretty much nothing in common with the original]], being loud, delusional, and violent while his counterpart was shy, intelligent, and friendly.

** It turns into a weird, inverted GreenEyedEpiphany in the default ending, when Krystal realizes that she really ''is'' in love with Panther, and ends up leaving Fox again (this time of her own accord).

** It turns into a weird, backwards GreenEyedEpiphany in the default ending, when Krystal realizes that she really ''is'' in love with Panther, and ends up leaving Fox again (this time of her own accord).

* OperationJealousy: Why Krystal joins up with Star Wolf and begins a relationship with Panther; to get back at Fox for kicking her of Star Fox.

** The same can be said on the Star Wolf-specific stages, with Wolf being JackOfAllStats (albeit broken because he has everything superior except the bomb stack), Leon is the StoneWall (high armor but heavily reduced in firepower, he can only fire charged shots and requires lock-on), Panther is the GlassCannon (his Zapper obliterates everything but he has weak armor, not that his good boost prevents him from barrel-rolling to defend him), and Krystal is [[RyuandKen The Ken]] (pretty much very balanced like Fox).
