Krystal thinks she’s in Smash Bros.
Poor Krystal. She deserves a Smash Bros invite for real.

Here’s the link to the original video:
Shown above is the Cloud Runner, Krystal’s heavily customized Arwing from Star Fox Command. What are your opinions about this ship? Do you like its design? Do you like how it feels during gameplay? Finally do you think the Cloud Runner should return in the future, or be relegated to the ash heap?

In the original Star Fox 64, Andross’ “True Form” is famously a giant disembodied brain with floating eyes. The justification implied for this is that Andross is a mad scientist who preformed dangerous biological experiments on himself.
However I believe Star Fox (2026) is hinting at a much more realistic, and darker, justification. During the prologue Peppy mentions that the air on Venom is “highly toxic”, and with the atmosphere being so poisonous Andross should be dead by now. James replies that maybe Andross found a way to survive.
What I think the game might be hinting at is that Andross’ banishment to Venom wasn’t just exile. Pepper knowingly sent him there to die a slow and painful death far away from the public eye.
Andross might not have turned himself into a giant brain just for the sake of mad science. It might have been the only way for him to survive after his body was slowly consumed by toxins and became un-salvageable.
I think this would be a great addition to the story and make Andross’ quest for revenge more compelling. I know the body horror part is a little dark for Nintendo, but they did have that in Assault.
What do you think about this theory? Do you think it’s inevitable, or would Nintendo never do something like that?
Looks like we have options for the Campaign, Challenge Mode, Battle Mode, a “Holoviewer”, and Training.
The top left corner seems to show Amiibo support, an avatar of some sort, and one other option. Curiously it also says “Player 4” instead of Player 1”. The top right corner shows the status of the team and Arwings.
