- Fox McCloud (フォックス・マクラウド, Fokkusu Makuraudo?) is an anthropomorphic video game character from the Star Fox series. He was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and designed by Takaya Imamura. As his name implies, he is a red fox and the main player character of the series. In each game the player controls Fox, either on the ground or in his Arwing. He is the leader of the Star Fox team, and is joined by his wingmates on various missions. In the English release of Star Fox 64, he was voiced by Mike West. In both the Japanese release of Star Fox 64 and Super Smash Bros. series, Fox's voices were done by Shinobu Satouchi. For English dialogue of Super Smash Bros. Melee and Star Fox Adventures, Fox's voice was done by Rare's Steve Malpass. In Star Fox: Assault, his voice was done by Jim Walker in the English release and by Kenji Nojima in the Japanese release. Nojima reprised his role for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, leading to the possibility that Walker might do the same.
In 1992, Argonaut Games and Nintendo collaborated to produce a 3D space shooter for the Super Nintendo, provisionally titled 'SnesGlider'.[1] The development team, led by Shigeru Miyamoto, redesigned what had been a tech demo into a rail shooter, with Nintendo designing the game and Argonaut handling the technical aspects.[2]
However, without a story, it lacked incentives to play beyond flying and shooting. Miyamoto sketched out a fictional universe, but couldn't decide on a natural hero to convey a sense of an epic space battle. Names under consideration included Star Wolf, Star Sheep, Star Fox, Star Sparrow and Star Hawk. Miyamoto finally settled on having a fox as the main character after visiting Fushimi Inari-taisha in Kyoto, the head shrine of Inari, a Japanese kami associated with foxes. Inari is protrayed as being able to fly, and its shrines, particularly the one in Kyoto, are surrounded by red arches (torii), giving Miyamoto the idea of a fox that could fly through arches.
Fox's face was modeled after Inari's, and always wears a red "scarf" around his neck, like the statue, with the exception of his design from Star Fox: Assault. Fox's personality is modelled after Miyamoto's, with the name 'Fox McCloud' being suggested by Dylan Cuthbert, one of the Argonaut team.
In the original Star Fox, Fox wears an orange suit with a flight jacket and metallic boots, along with a communication device on his head. In Star Fox 64, he wears a green suit and his jacket sleeves are rolled up to his elbows. In Super Smash Bros. and its sequel, Melee, Fox appears as he did in Star Fox 64. In Star Fox Adventures, he has a white vest instead of a jacket, his headgear is replaced with a device on his wrist, and wears a knee pad on his left leg. He also wears a large backpack for carrying items, such as Krystal's Staff and the CloudRunner Flute. In Star Fox: Assault, his appearance changes drastically. He wears a green and red jumpsuit, a white vest, pads on his knees and shoulders, and his boots are red and black instead of gray. As in Adventures, his communication device is on his wrist. In Star Fox Command, Fox has gone back to his Star Fox 64 attire, but without his sleeves rolled up. In the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Fox has a similar appearance of his Star Fox 64 and Command designs. Although Nintendo has not officially cited Fox's height in a game manual, Nintendo Power released a card featuring Fox, which stated his height, during Star Fox 64, to be 5'8", his weight to be 155 lbs, and his age to be 18. If Logic is followed, Fox's age would be 26 in Adventures (as Adventures takes place 8 years after Star Fox 64, according to the game manual), 27 in Assault (the game manual stated 1 year had passed since the conclusion of Adventures), and 29-30 in Command. In the 1993 Nintendo Power Star Fox comic, Fox had a romantic relationship with Fara Phoenix. While slightly ambiguous, it is obvious that they held mutual affections for each other, by the way they flirt and hold each other on several occasions throughout the comics. Still, the comics are considered non-canon, since Star Fox 64 replaced the original SNES Star Fox title.
Other appearances:
Fox has small cameos in other games, notably Stunt Race FX, where a portrait of him can be found in track-side billboards. In F-Zero X and GX, a character named James McCloud is a playable racer, bearing the name of Fox's father. He has a similar appearance to Fox, with his hair looking like ears, and wears sunglasses as well.

The scene where the airship rises over the horizon always chokes me up.
When Great Fox emerges from the Horizon? Yep does it to us every time.
Just think, for one second, the SHEER SCALE of the vehicle needed for it to appear that way. It should be causing gravitational disruptions.
Same, but it hits harder for me in Star Fox Zero. The crescendo ALWAYS makes me cry!
@@AdamEspersona 😭Same here.
This is something that Nintendo seems to be so good at.
They (almost) consistenly pull off these credit themes that make you sob that the journey is over.
I also have this with Ocarina of Time credits etc.
same
Peppy - "What's Wrong Fox?" Fox - "Nothing.... Nothing's wrong" if you know, you know. Shoutout to all the kids that grew up without their father! You've become so strong.
Even though my Dad was locked up, and he wasnt around much... He did let me use his N64 which till this day my brother and I STILL have.... Saddening to know he passed away last year.....
I remember reaching the ending credits for the first time at 7 years old and just yelling in happiness. My dad tucked me in that night and said "good night my little starfox champion." It's one of those vivid memories that stick out to me 26 years later.
That's so sweet 🥰
Don't ever give up, my son. - James McCloud
Take a ride on the feels train 😭
+BlueLantern96 Father?
Follow me, Fox
He never gave up and he's the best in Melee >.>
"You've become so strong, Fox."
- Star Fox, we are in your debt, we would be honored if you--
- Oh no, sir, we prefer doing things our own way.
- Great Fox is ready to go.
- It's time for us to go now.
+gangstaman88
:,(
I swear I heard that while listening to this.
It doesn't sound right without actually hearing this. To me it's part of the song.
The GREAT FOX takes off, and the arwings and GF fly away together for further missions ahead.
(extra for who goes in easy route:)
Andross faces appear and laughs to you
Back in the day, Nintendo endings always gave you such a feeling of accomplishment
Yes they did!
You got that right!

Graham Morcom Nintendo still make great video games
Graham Morcom perhaps but i feel nintendo still makes great games. Breath of the wild is one of the best games of all time in my opinion
Graham Morcom yeah i agree about that but then im confused about when nintendos lowpoint was
These credits are so strong because the game forces you to play through the entire thing in one go, meaning you can't just pick it up at the final boss and end it, you have to start up at the beginning and get emotionally invested with everything all over again.
Damn that's true you really had to do it all with no save points! And keep in mind there was the short ending and the True ending that you had to fight even harder to get there. I was so invested that this ending still stands as one of the greatest wins I ever accomplished in video games!
@@StarWolf_88 Icing Star Wolf on Venom one last time right before your revenge on Andross was especially pleasing.
⭐
A gold star for your comment. Even if it is 6 years old, it's still one of the best I've ever seen.
@@LunarBraixen 4:14 and 5:04 very good.
It adds to the cinematic nature of the presentation of the whole game. One of the first faves I played that felt like it was more than a game.
Always cried at 3:40
The best childhood I could ever have
It's too much 😭
For Rick May the voice Peppy and Andross rest in peace 😞
Also Soldier in tf2
Rick May, such a legend, rest in peace, Mission Accomplished

@@YuvinTop we had a great 3 years with him (2015 through 2018). We love him 12,000. And for another 5,000 years,Second Chances and New Beginnings will be our thing.
I swear the choir part at the end always gets me
I think this one of the best Nintendo songs ever.
The choir and seeing Great Fox and the Arwings leaving. That's childhood at its best, right there.
Same. Greatest part of it actually.
@@joshuasilver4489 1:20 and 3:38 this has the best theme that still reminds us that God is still always with us no matter what.
I'm barrel rolling in a sea of tears right now.
William Baldon - omg ROFLMFAOLOL
I listen to this every time I beat Star Fox 64. I feel as if I saved the world.
3:34 .......... cry like a little child! :'D
You're not wrong!
gabocarina96 the chills man.
One of the best reprises in all of gaming, I swear...
Dude. Instant chills.
It's like right after a nut and you're laying there in Euphoria.
Koji Kondo is all over the place in this one!
Sounds so similar to Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
M_Dutch97 - Stop! You're making me miss Koji Kondo.
M_Dutch97 Ocarina, Majora, and star fox 64 all used the same soundfont
There is a similar part of this music at the end of Ocarina of Time..omg now i'm sad..
@@ronaldmichaels3280 and Mario 64 ?
Well Hajime Wakai also composed a lot of the soundtrack. I recognized him from the Pikmin series.
If you are a classical music player/composer/fan, this song really really engages your mind.. there are some parts where I truly feel it was a genius writing.
NatesCoolDSReviews - I'd like you to go into more detail! Omg
Indeed! There is an orchestra playing "Starfox 64" music (look on youtube) and GOD this music was meant for the orchestral stage in all all its glory! It's pretty much a 1-1 translation to the orchestra (on some John Williams vibe!)!
IMO, Starfox 64 3D has weak arrangements of the original game's songs, because they "funk" up the songs, which doesn't fit the orchestral aesthetic of the OG music.
There's few credits sequences where I sit through to the very end. This one will always be #1. Those final dramatically spaced out downbeats at 4:43 get me every time. Always paints a "watchful guardians ready to fight another day" picture in my head. So glad I experienced this as a kid.
SAME FEELS HERE! ZOMGG! :D So glad I picked up the controller for this game when it was new :)))) N64 had it all back in the day when you needed it the most :)
Press(X)Jason feeling goosebumps rn shit eh?
The choir thing at the end, though...takes me back.
Reimu Hakurei Hello, my friend! 😉✌️👍
@@anime1thewave312 3:57 I love you 3,000. Next up: Sean Quest. Sean Hussey as Jonny Quest,Bucky Barnes as Dr. Quest and Sam Wilson as Race Bannon.
Perfect theme for Reggie's retirement.

Reggie: "Oh no, sir. My body is ready to do things my own way."
Bill: "Doug Bowser is ready to go."
Reggie: "Okay, that's all the time I've got. I gotta get back to spending time with my family at home."
Ummm, okay...?
@@misaeltoral508 Okay and?
Great, so creative !
I feel like most people missed the references in the original comment lol
This game is why Falco and Fox are my favorite Melee fighters
Agreed
yeah that and they TOP TIER BABY LETS GO!
Agreed. Also first game I played in my life back when it came out 1996
"This is one steep bill.... but it's worth it." -Gen. Pepper
"WHAAAAAT?!"
If the bill is $70,000+
Ahh, the good times when I got like 3600+ kills and the bill was like 300k
@@LordZero666 Nice gameshark
@@Albertminestein I'll accept that my memory was a little fuzzy after like 20 years since playing it, but after googling it, it's totally doable to get till 2800+ kills and that's what I used to get.
Mind you that was a 10 yrs old me that had played the game for like 12 hours straight and whose eyes were so strained they felt like I had rubbed them with sandpaper.
It's basically impossible I would be able to repeat those records now at my 34 yrs old.
So, today i bought a rumble pak for my controller in a flea market. As soon as I got home, i plugged in my N64 with my new rumble pak. It was a magical experience. It's something different than today's rumble features. It was strong, loud and immersed you perfectly. After clearing the game i saw the credits roll. When i saw the name Hiroshi Yamauchi I couldn't help but shed a tear. Rest in peace Yamauchi...
TNB12 you do know that yamauchi Never played a single game in his life right?
"STAR FOX, we are in your debt. I would be honored to have you as part of the Cornerean..."
"Oh no Sir. We prefer doing things our OWN way."
Music major here. This entire soundtrack is full of syncopation and amazing music theroy tricks. It's honestly masterful and I wouldn't be surprised if it subliminally got me into music as a child. It's so complex and engaging, heartfelt and technical. It's a work of art.
Man this N64 game is up there along with Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, and Super Smash Bros :')
Nutter Butter oh yes I love those games even this one 👍 :')
Perhaps Even better that those in My opinion, the others have aged, well... They have aged, while this Game still feels and plays like a New generation game
@@sandraospina1313 An Xbox controller on emulator is peak....it's too bad the N64 controller's analog stick was kind of crap
3:40 These climatic notes are so nostalgic and moving!
Man, seeing the Great Fox blast through the clouds while the team was running gave me goosebumps.
StarFox 64 was full of memories and childhood badassery.
Epic theme!!... like all Nintendo soundtracks... God bless the japanese people.
God Bless Everyone. Who isnt evil.
"You've become so strong, Fox..."
This is probably the only game from my child hood where I actually wanted to watch the credits just because of the ending cinematics and memorable music
One of the best games ever!!!!!!
Here's your send off Rick May
I used to beat this game every Sunday night to end the weekend. It always makes me emotional hearing it, I used to associate it with the passing of the week but looking back now, it’s life that’s passed me by
5:02 Thank You.
No....Thank You for making a masterpiece
Don't worry Star Fox 64, I will find a way to make custom stages and rom hacks... One day...
TimmyCheeseburger i wanna hack rom this game too along with Zelda MM
what about if we partner up someday man?
If this is still an option count me in
The day is close
Is that day coming
Man this piece always feels tearjerking, especially near the end
"This is one steep bill! But it's worth it..."
- General Pepper
3:35.. fucking goosebumps remembering the Great Fox coming up from the side on the horizon. That was truly epic.
Probably my favorite credits theme to any game. So damn good.
i don't think there will be another musician like koji kondo those musicians only come every thousand years
I actually cried at the end
Me too bro 💔
My god the FEELS........
I never even tried to skip the credits cause the sequence is so epic
Is it Even possible to skip the credits in this Game?
Star Fox 64 is one of the few perfect games.
New competition: Let's watch the credits to Star Fox 64 without bawling in a mess.
Just beat the game again yesterday after having not done a full play through of this game in 4 years, it still slaps just as hard as it did all those years ago
The game literally has the greatest credit music ever, it makes you stay there just to listen. The credit music both absolutely SLAPS and goes SO hard
This was the game that led to my discovery of Shinto, my discovery of Inari and the Kitsune, and of religion's power to mature, teach and to heal.
I am writing this with tears in my eyes.
lolz, Miyamoto wasn't the one in charge of the music for Star Fox 64. Koji Kondo was. And he is a freaking GOD when it comes to composing.
He didn't just work on this game, but he also worked the music for Ocarina of Time and plenty of other games.
4:42 I will never ever forget this moment of any videogame. EVER. Still sends chills down my spine. So epic.
masterpiece
Never give up trust your instincts- James McCloud 1997
The composition is very, very good melodically and theoretically. Very memorable, as well. I love it.
I cri evreytiem
Es un tema épico, con el que sabes que la batalla terminó
Damn...this gives me goosebumps and makes me shed some tears. Masterpiece.
Definitely one of my favorite video game endings ever! The Nintendo 64 had a lot of games where the ending felt so rewarding. Reaching the easy ending and then the hard ending was an experience I won't forget.
That's one steep bill. But it's worth it.
Aquele thema vitorioso depois de zera o game, musica nostalgica demais que saudades do 64
One of the best end credits theme ever
Its a story is sad at the beginning but its gets better later on
4:18 hits different
I'm crying everytime
Those last 30 seconds still hit.
I suddenly REALLY want to hear a ridiculously epic orchestrated version of this.
it took me 6 years to realize that the robot andross wasn't the real final boss.
anyone else get shivers during the last 20 seconds of this masterpiece?
Songs like this keep this game cemented as my favorite N64 game. It's the coolest thing ever and will always be the coolest thing ever.
I'll just say it, the original Star Fox's soundtrack was a whole other class that this one's could never compare to.
This is why I'm a huge Nintendo fan
The most Star Wars-esque of the songs in the game.
i'm gunna have this song on blast when i graduate college this january!! =]
did you graduate?
dont be cringe
The ending either feels really good or really bad depending if you Bolse'd or area 6'd.
True,
Yes it brings back some really memorable memories. Loved the good old N64...
es de mis juegos favoritos de la historia!
PEPPY! LONG TIME NO SEE!
Andross's enemys is my enemys
Still the most cinematic game Nintendo have ever made!
Couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 when my Old Man got this for the family.
I loved Banjo, i loved Mario, i loved Goldeneye.
This?
This was the first game i ever beat, let alone solo, and to this day i still crack it, and the N64, out to play...
24 years later, and this song, for my hard efforts, was the first thing i remember, as a child accomplishing.
Just beat 64 right now (I don't have Zero) and played this with the theme playing on my Tv and game pad. Oh God, it's so glorious!
A few weeks ago, I saw a post that asked for the video game OST that made me appreciate video game music. I said Sonic 2, since it was the first game I ever played and has an incredible soundtrack.
But now that I think about it, this game was probably the first I ever played that made me understand how music could hit on an emotional level.
Also, I had never played a game scored by Kōji Kondō before this one. Just incredible. I was 10 years old assuming this was recorded with a live orchestra because I definitely didn't know what MIDI was 😂
me senti que revivo tiempos
Not a lot of games have credits that are worth sitting through each time :)
I can barely cope with this theme, then 4:44 hits and I'm really done. Legendary stuff and one of the greatest games ever made.
Starfox is back! F*ck Yeah!!
One of the best ending songs for any 64 game ever.
i agree
For any game in general

that game i was passed without help of nothing when have 8 years. Im very proud of myself :')
Man, who would have guess that Staff credits music would be so epic!
At 3:41, I start getting goosebumps.
"Star Fox, we are in your debt. I would be honored to have you as part of the Cornerian A-"
"Oh no sir, we prefer doing things our own way."
I like at the very end when it shows your score card and if it's high he says, whaaaaaa?
This is one steep bill! But it’s worth it.
Dude, I can recall the exact line reading. 😂 General Pepper was awesome.
I was around 5 years old when I started playing Star Fox 64. Despite being young and inexperienced, I still had a lot of fun from this.
Now I'm a senior undergraduate who is graduating this year and is dreaming to become an astronaut for NASA so I can participate in the NASA's Artemis Program by working and living on the moon.
Hajime Wakai (Composer of the Pikmin series) also worked on this music for this game as well. Koji is a legend though so I see where you are coming from. :)
''it's time for us to go now...''
