Fox and Krystal had awakened from their nightmare to realize that Krystal was never forced off the team. Fox learned that he has reached his limit and could no longer fight, for he no choice but to retire and spend his remaining days living a quiet life with Krystal. What really happened is that they disappeared from Lylat and the rest of the team had disbanded, because Star Fox was missing their leader. Thus, Falco had married Katt as Slippy did Amanda. There was Falco’s son, Anthony and his daughter, Alexis, Slippy’s son, Skippy and Peppy’s granddaughter, Piper, who were told bedtime stories of Fox’s adventures before he and Krystal had vanished from Lylat. The Star Fox families searched everywhere for Fox and Krystal… there was no sign of them, even ROB 64 knew not the location of the two missing members. Panther gave up on Krystal and decided to marry Miyu Lynx, one the newest members that were absent before the events of Star Fox 64 which appeared in the unreleased until 2017 game Star Fox 2. Meanwhile on Earth, their son, Marcus, grows into a fine young pup as did their daughter, Sabrina, and the Fox family enjoys a happy life together in Shibuya. It is 2022, Marcus is now eight years old and Sabrina is now 5 years old. They run into five new friends. Sora and Riku from KINGDOM HEARTS and Michiru, Shirou and Nazuna from BNA: Brand New Animal. Both franchises will cross paths in… KINGDOM HEARTS Brand New Animal Continues THE END… duh!

Pre-battle dialog FOX: YOU! KRYSTAL: Fox? FOX: Krystal, you're too late. KRYSTAL: What happened? FOX: You abandoned me. That's what. KRYSTAL: Sniff... Fox... I'm sorry... I’m so sorry… sob… sob… FOX: It's too late for that. Now, I rule this system. FOX: You betrayed Star Fox and left me stranded. FOX: I was forced to work on planet Kew and you never came back for me. FOX: All that's left in my heart is misery and despair... FOX: And now, you must pay! KRYSTAL: Fox, joining Star Wolf was a mistake. I shouldn’t have been so… bitter… FOX: I saved you, but you fell in love with Panther Caroso. KRYSTAL: That's not true, Fox! I love you! KRYSTAL: Please Fox, this isn't you! Star Fox defeated the Anglars, not Star Wolf! FOX: LIES!!! KRYSTAL: No, really! It was Xehanort who did this. He changed the ending! KRYSTAL: Please, Fox! I’m sorry!!! FOX: STOP LYING!!! KRYSTAL: I’m not! I was supposed to rejoin Star Fox, not betray you. KRYSTAL: Please Fox, you have to remember! I need you back! FOX: I... can't...... I’m… too… weak……. Help…. Me……. KRYSTAL: Fox? FOX: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! FOX: FOOL! I will never forgive you. I am the new Andross! Now, I will destroy you!!! KRYSTAL: Fox… Sniff... Please... forgive me... Post battle dialog FOX: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! FOX: Ugh… what happened? FOX: Oh, no… what have I done?... What have I become? KRYSTAL: FOX! You’re okay! FOX: Who are you!?! KRYSTAL: Fox, it’s me, Krystal. FOX: I don’t… know you… KRYSTAL: Fox, please! You got to remember who I am! You saved me from being trapped inside a giant crystal. FOX: I... don’t... remember anything... like that... KRYSTAL: Fox, please! I’m really sorry that I joined Star Wolf. KRYSTAL: I should never have had that relationship with Panther. KRYSTAL: I love you, Fox. Please, remember. FOX: I... I... I....... * Fox’s memories of Krystal returning * FOX: Krystal...? Is that you? What happened? * Fox sees what he did to Lylat as Dark Fox * FOX: Oh, no... I killed everyone… how did this happen!?! KRYSTAL: Fox, that wasn’t you. It was Xehanort. KRYSTAL: He poisoned your mind and your heart with darkness. KRYSTAL: Forget what he told you, Fox. Xehanort made you into a new Andross. It wasn’t your fault. It was mine. FOX: Did we… really… use that… device to…. make Venom more… beautiful? KRYSTAL: Yes. FOX: Then, how did that… creep in black… make it so we… didn’t? KRYSTAL: I… don’t know. He came out of nowhere and… altered the future. FOX: Krystal… I’m sorry for not believing you. It’s just… KRYSTAL: No, Fox. I’m sorry. For breaking our bond. For being stupid and joining Star Wolf. FOX: What?! You’re… apologizing? KRYSTAL: Yes, Fox. Because, I love you. FOX: Sniff… Thank you... I love you, too. FOX: Krystal… If we survive all this... I want to... just... take things... easy… KRYSTAL: What about Star Fox? FOX: I can't... do that anymore... especially after... all this... KRYSTAL: If you want to take things easy, let's fight Xehanort together! FOX: Okay… FOX: Wait, did you dye your hair purple? KRYSTAL: Oh… yeah. I dyed it when I called myself Kursed. I better wash it off. FOX: Don’t. It looks good on you. KRYSTAL: Really? You like it? FOX: Yeah… * Fox slides his mother’s ring with a sapphire gem onto Krystal’s finger * FOX: You like the ring? KRYSTAL: I love it! FOX: Good, I had the gem put in right after the Aparoid invasion... FOX: I knew back then you were going to be my wife someday. KRYSTAL: You had it this whole time? FOX: Yeah, waited for the perfect time... to give it to you. KRYSTAL: It was worth the wait, wasn't it? FOX: Yeah, it was... you're going to make a beautiful bride. KRYSTAL: I can't wait to see you in a tux. FOX: I can't... wait till you become my... wife... KRYSTAL: I am already yours, Fox... and you ain't going to lose me... not now... not ever! FOX: Okay. C'mon, Krystal! Let's make one last run. Our final mission… together. KRYSTAL: Then, we can retire and settle? FOX: Yeah. You’ve always been a part of my heart and just yours was. KRYSTAL: Those Star Wolf goons aren’t my friends… Star Fox is. FOX: I guess we both made a mistake. KRYSTAL: Don’t worry, Fox. We’ll always be together. I promise. FOX: Really? Thank you. *Fox and Krystal kiss as ROB gives Fox a Star Fox Keyblade* ROB: Fox, I have something for you. FOX: What’s this? KRYSTAL: A Keyblade. I asked ROB to forge it for you. Hopefully, it will give us the power to defeat Xehanort and it will be all over. FOX: For me? Thanks, ROB. FOX: Now, let’s go beat Xehanort for good! Then we can retire.

SLIPPY: Yay! This is AWESOME! SLIPPY: The Anglars are history, and Krystal is back with the team! SLIPPY: Now we just have to file our report with Peppy! We should go find him! FALCO: Don't pretend, frog. You just want to go see your new squeeze! SLIPPY: Tee hee hee! You've discovered my ruse! FOX: Ruse or no, we're plotting a course for Aquas. ROB: Great Fox prepped and ready for launch. FOX: Let's go! YOUNG XEHANORT: Not so fast, Fox. FOX: Who are you? *Young Xehanort reverses time and tells Krystal to leave without Fox* Young Xehanort had changed the ending “Fox and Krystal” to “Star Wolf Returns”… Star Wolf rises! Across Lylat, people talk of Wolf O'Donnell and his courageous crew. But they are less kind to Krystal, feeling that she was wrong to abandon Star Fox. But she ignores the talk and proceeds with her new life as a member of Star Wolf. Eventually, the slings and arrows of the populace are too much to bear. They begin to hiss as she walks by, and name her traitor to her face. She is alone... and hated. She pulls away from Star Wolf and tries to find meaning in this new, cruel world. Haunted by her past, Krystal abandons her life and flees to a distant galaxy. Changing her name to Kursed, she survives by collecting bounties on the worst scum in the galaxy. Years later, she runs into Fox during a job on planet Kew... He does not recognize her. Kursed saw that Fox was miserable and tried to apologize, but Fox was tortured by his past and he refused to remember. Then, Young Xehanort had offered him an opportunity to remove the pain. Kursed refused to allow Fox to accept his offer, but he did. Thus, his heart became corrupted with darkness as he became an evil emperor by the name Dark Fox. Dark Fox has brought doom to Lylat and Star Fox and Star Wolf to their demise. He ruled all of Lylat and anyone who stood in his way had met their end. Kursed began to cry, realizing that she had made an awful mistake joining Star Wolf. The populace was enslaved and no one dared to fight back against Dark Fox’s evil empire. Kursed found ROB 64, informing her that Dark Fox is on planet Venom, planning to resurrect Andross and destroy Corneria. She refused to help because she was concerned that she too might meet her end and never live to see Fox again. Suddenly, fate has come as Mickey Mouse emerges from a corridor of light. Kursed was told that that only true love can expel the darkness from Fox and return him to his form of light. The darkness cannot be destroyed by an Arwing, her Cloud Runner or her staff, so she was given the special Keyblade of darkness to fight back against Dark Fox’s army. She changed her name back to Krystal as she heads for Venom to put an end to this horrible nightmare for good.

Krystal Becomes Infatuated with Cheese So we all know the story, it had something to do with cheese, and how with cheese Fox was easy to please. But there's more to it than that as this new tale shall prove, for this is when Krystal caught on to the groove. It started out a day like any other, but Krystal had moved on! Fox was away from her life, yes indeed gone. Mocked for having been part of Star Wolf briefly, she took up residence on the delightful Planet Kew. But her true feelings were just like her fur...very blue. So she joined a coven of fox girls just like her, hoping that for her sadness this would be the cure. But it wasn't you see, Fox wasn't gone, deep down in Krystal's heart Fox still lingered on. "I'm delighted to attend this meeting as you can see. I'm not the least bit lonely, I feel quite free!" said Krystal. "Good," said Fay sitting to the right of Krystal. "Let's do a conciousness raising session, with trees made of nettle!" "Sorry to interrupt but she takes cheese to each session. She has some Chedder and Feta right now, I have the most distinct impression" said Fara. "No, no, no, I'm not up for that. Why is everyone staring at me and Katt?" asked Krystal. "It's the cheeses behind your backs," said Fay with a smirk. "Why not share some with us? Might be a nice perk!" "No, I won't" said Katt. "I like cheese too much, cheese I must never lack. My only true boyfriend is Monteray Jack" Krystal sighed. She had never been a fan of cheese. But see, Fox was, and his soul was something Krystal just had to appease. "This cheese reminds me of someone I loved. Someone I cared for, kissed, and hugged" said Krystal, embarresed. She ran away. "She takes that cheese to every meeting here!" said Fay. "AND SHE NEVER EATS IT!" she added. KRYSTAL JUMPED IN HER ARWING WITH THE CHEESE IN TOW, SHE WASN'T FEELiNG TOO GOOD, THIS WE ALL KNOW "So they don't like me clutching on to cheese, do they? I wasn't about to convince them it was my baby, I need Fox Mccloud back, he's the mashed potato to my gravy" said Krystal. Feeling sad, with dejected eyes, she flew herself into a black hole. She got warped to Planet Earth, London UK to be exact. Krystal sounded like she came from there, we'll never know why. Perhaps it's past life stuff, but for now, gotta fly! Her arwing crashed and she jumped out with a parachute. She brushed dust off her legs and frantically searched the wreckage for cheese. She pulled out some cheese and got down on her knees. "Oh, cheese, you'll always be special to me. My one reminder of whom I love, Fox if you're still out there, please show me a dove" said Krystal. A dove flew down and stole her cheese. Krystal ran towards a policewoman. "You look rather blue," said the policewoman. "I am blue, my name is Krystal, yes it's true. A dove flew off into the sky with my cheese, he did not even ask first, nor did he say please!" replied Krystal. "I can't help you this instant, I think it's been too long a shift. I've never seen a fox person, if you get my drift. But cheese? Yes, it's delicious when spread over fresh mana. Krystal, has anyone told you that you sound just like Princess Diana?" said the cop. Krystal broke down in tears and yelled out to the Krazoa to take her away to Fox. So they gave her a test. A taste test of cheeses, conducted by them. The Krazoas loved cheese. With cheese they were easy to appease. So they brought her to where Fox was...sitting in a London pub, eating cheese and drinking wine, while helping Falco flick away a bug. "Fox," said Krystal tapping Fox on the back. "You know I'm the only one that can understand you, I just have a knack!" "Do I know you, blue lady? Oh, Krystal, that's right. It's called a rivalry okay? Let me get back to my rivalries!" said Fox, who then proceeded to chat with Falco. "That bird can buzz off, he's bloomin' pissing me off. Now Fox, look at me! We were a team, like Mcnee and Dianna Rigg. Would you forgive me if I handed you a fig?" "Figs are old school and I'm just as depressed as you. My nose is stuck to this table like glue!" said Fox. "Fox, I have cheese!" said Krystal. Fox looked at the cheese. "Get that away!" said Fox violently slapping away the food. Krystal's dress came undone, leaving her in a bikini. All the onlookers looked, Krystal, she was damn pretty! "Terrific, everyone's staring at me and my rack. Fox won't you please come back?" said Krystal. "Can't right now!" said Fox. "Oh, please, Fox, let's go right now! Repair to our Arwings, with that food made from a cow" said Krystal. "Food made from a cow?" asked Fox, with a twinkle in his eye. "You mean cheese right?" "Yes, Fox. Cheese!" said Krystal. "To heck with cheese!" said Fox. Krystal started to cry. "No, no, hear me out, you must know the reason why!" said Fox. Brushing away a tear, Krystal listened. "Krystal I realize I love you more than anything in the universe. You're the greatest gift ever, this I now know, let's rise from the pits where we sunk so low" said Fox. Fox looked into Krystal's eyes, so sweet and sublime. He saw the cheese in her hands, and realized she was one hundred percent divine. "I can't believe how foolish I was!" said Fox with a teary eyed grin. He hugged Krystal, and they both shared a kiss. The crowd was confused, but to Fox and Krystal, this was bliss. "Falco, just admit my boyfriend's a better pilot than you. Go home to your cat, she'll repair your beak like new!" said Krystal. Back in the Arwing: "You were actually going to change your name to Kursed?" asked Fox. "Yes, yes, yes I was. But now we have each other and a cargo hold full of cheese. And our beautiful sets of furs, free of all fleas!" replied Krystal. THE END

Stuck on a ship with Slippy! "Well Krystal? We've gotta leave in a jiffy. But sadly, we've gotta leave behind Slippy" said Fox. "Slippy? He's so dippy! Why must you leave in such a jiffy?" asked Krystal. "We're leavin' you with the frog! It's hilarious and we're all for it!" said Peppy. "Why? Why? Why is this? Surely you realize we don't at all mix" said Krystal. "It was my idea," said Falco with a chuckle. "Just laugh it off, it won't strain a knuckle" "I'm an icon of skill, great beauty, and brains, Slippy's slimey and wimpy, and a bringer of pains!" shouted Krystal. Slippy looked like his feelings were hurt, but Krystal just scoffed, as if he were dirt. "It won't be so bad, you'll see. We're off to get some space groceries, just Falco and me" said Fox. "Peppy, won't you stay? Please, please Peppy I implore you, I'll PAY!" said Krystal. "I'm goin' too, so don't hold your breath. I'm sick of being responsible for Slippy's certain death" said Peppy. Krystal and Slippy were alone. "Okay, Slippy, well this will have to do. Want to play Checkers or jump on the trampoline of goo?" asked Krystal. "I'm gonna go repair Fox's arwing!" said Slippy. "No, Slippy wait, I'm sorry I said all those things. When it comes to frogs of talent, um, you're among KINGS!" said Krystal. "You really think so?" asked Slippy. "Yes, yes, yes I do. A toad who builds spaceships? Most can't build a shoe!" said Krystal. "Oh, alright, I'll play Checkers" said Slippy. Krystal won. "Well, well, Slippy that sure was fun, but don't go just yet, I want something done" said Krystal. "What's thaT?" asked Slippy. "I want you to come over now and kiss my feet, you're bloody well cute and I've just noticed it" said Krystal. So Slippy did so, much to Krystal's amusement. "You won, oh queen of checkers" said Slippy. "Yes, yes, yes, please no applause" said Krystal. Later... Slippy was reduced to a puddle of slime, but Krystal caught him in a bucket, then looked at the slime confused. She poked it with a stirring apparatus then backed away. "Don't worry, it was something I ate, and also I regenerate!" said Slippy, in an assuring tone. Later...after he regenerated... "You shot me!" said Slippy as he was playing Call of Duty. "Oh really? I think I'll shoot you again, right in your frog booty!" said Krystal. Later... "TABLE TENNIS IS SCARY!" said Slippy. "I know, I know" replied Krystal, laughing. Later, on a water bed... "That was strange," said Slippy. "I know, I know" said Krystal, taking a puff from a cigarette. "Table tennis is a peculiar thing," Slippy's eyes widened. Later... "Look, Slippy you're wonderful but this isn't going to work. I'm sorry if I've been a bit of a jerk. You're a frog I'm a fox and its my natural response, but now that we've been together, we've had some jolly good romps" said Krystal. "Thanks Krystal" said Slippy, wiping away a tear. Krystal and Slippy held each others hands, and they looked like they were about to kiss, my that was a scene Fox would want to miss. The others came back. "Krystal, don't steal our soldier, he won't turn into a prince, he'll just whimper and wince" said Peppy. "It's a prank, trust me" said Fox. "It's nothing really, nothing at all. Just helping him feel better, for being green, slimey, and small" replied Krystal, turning red. "Stealin' our soldier. What should we do Fox?" asked Peppy. "It's a joke, TRUST ME, I know both of them all too well!" said Fox. "It ain't no joke, I think we should have em both court martialed!" said Peppy. "UGH! This is why I hate fanfiction! Of all possible pairings, UGH!" said Krystal storming off in a huff. "Told ya. Court martialing time!" said Peppy. The End

The Krystal Lovers Association forum and site have officially announced they are permanently shuttering, for good this time, on March 16, 2018. Yes, they did announce doing it before years ago, but apparently they only delayed what has been deemed inevitable. Current forum/site owner "eggman9713" largely lost faith and interest in the Star Fox series, and believes message boards are a dying breed of community interaction anyway. It does not help that Krystal's character has not made a significant appearance in a Star Fox title since 2006's Star Fox Command. Looks like the end of an era for yet another piece of fandom community among Star Fox enthusiasts online. What do you guys think of this situation?

Hello, everyone. If you are reading this topic, then you have no doubt noticed the overly long and unorthodox title and have had your curiosity piqued. I honestly have been thinking about this idea for quite a while and I feel I should explain why I came to it in the first place. Please forgive my long-winded speaking in advance. I look up Celtic Mythology in my spare time, and have a keen interest in the Arthurian Legends in particular, and I find many parallels between certain traits in the myths and various factors in Krystal's part in the Star Fox Universe, including the character herself, her role in the story, her mystical staff, and lastly, her planet of origin, the mysterious and elusive Cerinia. So, without further ado, let us begin. Beginning with Krystal's character and role, I can connect her with three separate women of Celtic and Arthurian Legend. They are Scathach, the Lady of the Lake, and Morgan le Fay. 1. Scathach. Scathach was a Scottish warrior woman that appeared in the Ulster Cycle, in particular, the Tochmarc Emire. She trained the Irish hero Cu Chulainn and his friend Ferdiad in all she knew of war and magic, and gave the Son of Lugh her own weapon, the Spear of Mortal Pain, Gae Bolg. As Scathach had done with Ireland's Child of Light, so too did Krystal do with Fox early in Adventures, telepathically communicating to him in how to properly wield the Staff, and understand it's nature as a weapon. Granted, this connection is more stretched and thin than the other two. 2.The Lady of the Lake. Whether you call her Viviane, Ninianne, Nyneve, or the name I prefer, Nimue, the Lady of the Lake is one of the most, if not the most important plot point in Arthurian Legend aside from Excalibur, having given the aforementioned sword to the King of Knights himself. She is an inhabitant (if not ruler) of the isle of Avalon, in possession of inhuman beauty and tremendous and mysterious powers. This parallel with Krystal is self-explanatory. The two character roles overlap quite well, but for two points: 1. Arthur was actively looking for Nimue and Excalibur in particular quite deliberately, while Fox had stumbled upon the Staff quite by accident, and 2. While Nimue was quite free in her actions and willingly helped Arthur in person, Krystal was at this point imprisoned and only able to barely contact Fox through telepathy. Otherwise the stories align: both heroines have supernatural capabilities of unspecified extent, both relinquish a weapon they have in their possession to the hero to use in his quest (Nimue gives Excalibur, Krystal her Staff), and both are of some status on their homelands (Nimue rules Avalon, and it is generally agreed that judging by her clothes and equipment, her family was high-ranking or even nobility on Cerinia). 3.Morgan le Fay. Oh, Morgan. Angry at her brother for perceived slights, she goes out of her way to make the King's life miserable however she can. Where to begin? While the reasons vary across the legends, she feels slighted by either Arthur (in proxy of his father Uther who killed Morgan's father Gorlois and impregnated his wife Igrayne with Arthur), Guinevere (for banishing her from Camelot for varied reasons, mostly adultery), or even both. She seeks revenge in many ways, but the two that tie to Krystal the most are her theft and loss of Excalibur's Scabbard, and her aid in exposing the affair between Lancelot and Guinevere. These two actions both personally screw Arthur over royally (no pun intended) and shatters the Round Table in one fell swoop. However, she reconciles with Arthur in the end and in some legends even helps escort her mortally wounded brother to Avalon, going so far as to proclaim him "The Once and Future King" in one version. Her story probably aligns best with Krystal's later roles, during Star Fox Command. Like Morgan, Krystal feels betrayed and slighted by Fox drumming her out of the team out of paranoia over her safety, and at this point she seems to channel all the anger, scorn and downright stubbornness that Morgan was also known for. Depending on the route you take in the game, she joins Star Wolf and books up with Panther to stoke Fox's jealousy, and even steals his chance to kill the Anglar King, while publicly proclaiming her allegiance to Star Wolf and Panther, which screws the Star Fox team over and crushes Fox's spirit entirely. However, she is vilified for her actions and runs away, assuming a new identity, the jaded bounty hunter Kursed. In other routes she reconciles with Fox and gets back together with him again, just like Morgan reconciles with Arthur. It is an interesting thing that the two characters have such similar reactions to their respective misfortunes. Just has Krystal has similarities to certain mythological figures, her Staff harkens back to a number of magical and famous weapons in Celtic myth. Two in particular that stand out are Brionac, the Spear of Lugh and Rhongomyniad, King Arthur's war lance. Brionac is one of the legendary Four Jewels of the Tuatha de Dannan, and is said to make its wielded nigh invincible. It is also said to overcome its targets with fire, which goes into the Fire Blaster. As the Staff looks more like a spear, and seems to indeed convey the image of invincibility, Brionac's legend ties together with the Cerinian weapon quite well. Rhongomyniad was the lance wielded by King Arthur, most well known for being the weapon that took the life of Sir Mordred at the battle of Camlann. It was told that no matter how tough the armor of the Knight of Treachery was, it could never resist the holy lance, an existence on par with Excalibur. Some compare it to the Spear of Destiny, which pierced the Messiah. Like Rhongomyniad, the Staff is quite strong, able to pierce most defenses, such as when Fox pierced the thick, hardened skull of the RedEye King, not an easy task by any means. Also, with its repertoire of powers like fire blasts, force fields, miniquakes and rocket boosts can easily lead one to assume that it is indeed a holy weapon, if one considers a combination of the Four Classical Elements to be "holy". Finally, Cerinia itself can be compared to the mythical Avalon, as both seem to be magical or at least wondrous places that not much can be known about -- Avalon being separate from the mortal realm, and Cerinia being destroyed according to the Star Fox canon. So that's it. You may ask, "Huh!? What was this overly long dissertation supposed to do!?" Well , my answer is that I noticed the similarities mentioned above, found them interesting, and decided to make my findings known. Whether the similarities were made in purpose by the game creators, particularly in Adventures, or they just came to be pure chance, I do not know, but I believe the former. For evidence, I do not have much, except for two points: A) Rare was based in Britain, which is the central point for the Arthurian Legends, and B) let it be remembered that the entire Star Fox series came to be because Shigeru Miyamoto was inspired by the Fox statues and took arches at the Fushimi Inari shrine. Ultimately, however, what I want is your opinion, dear readers. What do you all think of my reasonings? Please comment!

Hey all! I want to start a Krystal support team so I thought I'd pitch the idea here. Me and a bunch of other people on Twitter have started a group in hopes to unify as many Krystal fans as possible, because I've realized that there are SO many Krystal supporters online but they are so scattered and quiet. I think it's important for us to be all commenting together about support for Krystal and 'liking' each other's comments on Youtube/Facebook (extremely important because it means Nintendo themselves WILL see it) I think on Nintendo's official Youtube and Facebook pages are the best places to do these "unified comments", if they continue to see the support for her (and Star Fox Assault, because it signifies not only Krystal's inclusion but also the actual potential for growth the SF series has) then they may take our support into consideration when making a new SF game! I wanted to see if anyone on here wanted to be involved with us actively commenting/liking Krystal related posts on YouTube. I can update this thread with links of videos we'll be targeting for this "unified support" It will really help with our cause and if you are a Krystal supporter then this is a really efficient way of showing that support/increasing her odds of returning to the series in general! Please let me know if any of you are interested!

Since around 2010, I’ve been developing a fanmade animated series based around the unreleased video game Dinosaur Planet. Most of you guys probably know about Dinosaur Planet and how it transitioned to Star Fox Adventures. If not, Dinosaur Planet was a game that was developed by Rareware and Nintendo and was supposed to be the Nintendo 64's swansong before Rare went on to developing next-gen titles on the Gamecube. The original project was soon rebranded into a Star Fox title after Nintendo saw similarities between DP protagonist Sabre and Star Fox's own Fox McCloud. Dinosaur Planet became a Gamecube title now known as Star Fox Adventures, with many differences besides the setting and cast changes. Nearly 1/2 of DP's original content was cut in the transition, and the new storyline of Starfox Adventures became a plothole ridden mess. Shortly after SFA's release, Rareware was purchased by Microsoft, spelling the end of Rare and Nintendo's partnership to this day. Despite these events, the story of what would've been Rareware's last and greatest game on Nintendo 64 has not been forgotten. Even after many years, gamers and beta enthusiasts continued to look into the mysteries surrounding Dinosaur Planet and its transition into SFA. Now me and my team are here to pay tribute to one of the greatest lost Nintendo 64 games of all time. The story of Dinosaur Planet follows two characters who must save a planet in peril. Along their journey they face many challenges, such as an evil reptilian tyrant, a destructive dragon, the mysterious Quan Ata Lachu, and many more. We have planned out a total of 13 episodes. We currently have four of the episodes written out, but right now we are in the need of a new head writer, as our previous one had to leave due to unfortunate situations she needed to take care of. We are also in need of more animators. We have about 5 animators so far, but we are still looking for more who are skilled in either traditional or computer animation. The animation we plan for the series will be mostly traditional animation, mixed with minor CG bits used to enhance a few scenes. As for voice actors, we pretty much have most of the entire cast selected, but we are still in need of a few more minor roles. As of right now, we have no budget for this project since we are trying to work around the copyright issues with Nintendo. Because of this, the work is mainly volunteering until further notice.

Despite the fact we are all anticipating the official anime short Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins later today, by sheer chance a French-based, start-up animation director duo called "Channy and Kimberly" have just uploaded their very first animation on YouTube today, which happen to be a fan animation of a potential Star Fox Zero anime opening made in homage to the 1980s style. Check out the fan animation below - no regrets! Subscribe to the duo if you like as well, as they really need more people to follow their brand new YouTube channel!

There is little to no discussion at all about vehicle design for the 80s anime-esc/70s live action scifi-esc brightly colored super vehicles the StarFox characters use to take part in battle. since I have no idea how to draw tanks or land vehicles of any kind, I just went for a new Arwing design, because aircraft are very easy to do, at least for me. I call it the Arwing Mark IV STWU model, developed under the same dev team for previous Arwing models, now currently lead by Slippy Toad, and to be tested and used by combat by StarFox team. Description: basically I went for the unique look the Arwing had in the first two games on SNES, and later returned in Assault. I feel it is more original, and what I'd consider classic Arwing. The fuselage is structured just like the Assault Arwing, which also looks very similar to the concept art for SNES. cock-pit designed more like the N64 beta model before SF64 was completed, which is also what they used for the multiplayer, and often appears as the teammate NPC's for some reason. as for the back I give it a more X-Wing (StarWars)/Federation fighter (BattleStar Galactica) look, to give a nod to retro 70s scifi films that draw my attention so easily. I wanted to balance a grit'n grime idea with shiny anime and this is how it turns out. I want it to look functional, moving parts and all. I provided a small rear view image, it has two sets of laser cannons one set positioned right next to the cock pit, and the other set set in the Arwing's trademark balancer blue thingies. instead of laser cannons in the hook of the wing like in SNES, it has....lights, I dunno. yellow stripes painted on each end of the folding wings, and a blue stripe down the middle of the fuselage. I'd also like this model to have a back seat, that's what it is beyind the cock-pit in the X-Wing-like back. as for the particle effects not shown; I'd like all the shimmering details in the thrusters and break lights to resemble retro 80s anime, heavily stylized effects that I for some reason crave. watch the TIE fighter shortfilm recently put out on youtube to get what I mean. Sorry for the horrid lighting (What lighting?), but this piece is however subject to change, I might change things out or paint it.
