History YMMV / StarFox1

* UncannyValley: Dear lord the characters look creepy in the artwork. Thank goodness Nintendo stuck with the cartoony designs in-game afterwards.

** Out of this Dimension, mostly due to FridgeHorror. Pepper tries to contact the Star Fox team and fails, and the team is stuck in an alternate dimension with no way back; even killing the endboss of the stage simply results in a "THE END" screen that goes on forever. Since the Star Fox team has left the dimension they came from, one can assume that Andross is now free to conquer the system with negligible resistance.

* NightmareFuel: The box art and posters featuring realistic anthropomorphic versions of the Star Fox team. Let's just say there's a good reason the team doesn't look like road kill in-game or anywhere else...

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: "[[AC:Wing repair.]]"

* OlderThanTheyThink: A lot of fans are still unaware there ''was'' a ''Star Fox'' before ''64''. And this game and story didn't have many of the things the series became known for later. No Great Fox. No ROB-64. No Star Wolf. No Krystal. And no Aquas, Area 6, Bolse, Fichina, Katina, Sauria, Solar or Zoness. But there was Papetoon and Fortuna, while the Venom orbital stages and Space Armada were similar in comparison to Area 6. The stages that did exist also look significantly different.

* UnwantedAssistance: Falco loathes having to be helped by Fox, even if he really needs it.
-->'''Falco:''' ''(after being saved)'' Mind your own business, Fox!

* CompleteMonster: [[YMMV/StarFox Andross]].

* NoExportForYou: The companion comic by Benimaru Itoh was made in the Western left-to-right horizontal text style rather than the typical Japanese right-to-left vertical text style, and this Western-style format was also used later with ''Manga/FarewellBelovedFalco''. But whereas ''Farewell'' wasn't officially published outside Japan, the ''Star Fox 1'' comic wasn't officially published ''in'' Japan. But they both enjoy {{Canon}} status within their respective [[ContinuityReboot continuities]].

* NightmareFuel: The box art and posters featuring a realistic anthropomorphic fox. It looks frightening to children.

** Special note should be given to the design of the Arwing itself. The in-game model is just 12 triangles, completely flat-shaded with no lighting. And yet, it maintains a clear and distinct silhouette, making it easily recognizable from other objects. It's clear that the Arwing was deliberately designed to look good with minimal triangles.

* ThatOneBoss: On Path 1, Phantron after going OneWingedAngel. On Path 2, Plasma Hydra. Everyone has the potential on Path 3.

* GoddamnedBoss: Path 3 bosses have the potential to become this. The Great Commander's first fight, depending on your skill, can either become the most notable GoddamnedBoss or the most notable ThatOneBoss. [[spoiler: The Slot Machine]] is not disputable.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: While they may look dated in this day and age, the Super FX graphics were considered quite impressive back when the game first came out.

* MindScrew: Sector Y is a space ocean. The Black Hole feature enemies floating all around. [[spoiler: Out of this Dimension trumps these. You enter from a space bird who just hatched, has living moons, the background is distorted, the enemies are paper airplanes, and a Slot Machine is the boss. Oh, and there's a mild GainaxEnding.]]

* GoddamnedBoss: Path 3 bosses have the potential to become this. The Great Commander's first fight, depending on your skill, can either become the most notable GoddamnedBoss or the most notable ThatOneBoss. [[spoiler: The Slot Machine]] is not disputable. It's this trope incarnate.
