Andross (アンドルフ, Andorf) is the main antagonist of the Star Fox series.
Andross was originally the lead scientist of the Cornerian Defense Force alongside General Pepper, both having an intense rivalry. Andross primarily focused on weapons for war, of which one experiment ended up destroying an entire city on Corneria. For this, Andross was banished to the desolate planet Venom. Years later, rumors popped up that Andross was becoming more active on Venom, so team Star Fox was sent to investigate. During this time, Andross hired Star Fox member Pigma Dengar to betray and sabotage the team. Pigma's betrayal resulted in the supposed death of James McCloud.
Several years after this incident, Andross began an invasion to conquer the Lylat System. The new Star Fox team, with assistance from the Cornerian Defense Force, would challenge Andross in a series of battles that would come to be known as the Lylat Wars. These events came to a head when Fox seemingly defeated Andross and saved the Lylat System.
However, Andross survived the attack, albeit as a spirit, and discovered the Krazoa Spirits. Andross learned that if all spirits were to be brought together, he could resurrect himself and continue his plans of conquest. He obtained one of the spirits by tricking Krystal into handing one over, then trapping her in a crystal to siphon her power for himself. Andross also tricked Fox into releasing all of the spirits so he could capture him and resurrect himself, but Fox defeated him, this time for good. After these events, Andrew Oikonny, Andross' nephew, attempted to continue Andross' ambitions, even flying a ship that could transform into a form similar to Andross'. This "Andross wanna-be", as Falco derides it, is easily defeated by the Star Fox team. During the battles against the Anglar forces, a holographic projection of Andross claiming to be his ghost guarded his biochemical weapons on Titania.
Star Fox Zero features a storyline similar to Star Fox 64, with Andross once again waging war against Corneria. Andross converts the entire planet of Venom into a teleportation device and uses it to kidnap General Pepper, who reveals to Fox that Andross developed the technology under the supervision of the Cornerian army. But when Andross grew mad with power, Pepper used the technology to banish Andross to another dimension, an effort in which James McCloud was instrumental. Andross appears similarly to his Star Fox 64 incarnation, but when confronted inside the protected structure he erects, he is covered with metallic armor, similar to his polygonal Star Fox form.
The mechanical incarnation of Andross, the basis for his Assist Trophy appearance, first appeared in Star Fox, which used filled 3D polygons to render objects, items, and bosses in the game, including himself. His main method of attack, as in Star Fox, is to inhale and spit out polygonal, metallic tiles at the player.
Andross appears as two different trophies, one based on his SNES design and another based on his Nintendo 64 design.
When Andross is summoned, he floats up off the screen and flies towards the back of the stage and spits polygon panels out of his mouth. The panels deal 12% damage. Andross permanently appears during Co-Op Event 19: Shadow of Andross, making it more difficult for the players as Fox and Falco to KO Wolf.
Andross has a spawn chance of 30/760.
The original SNES version of Andross appears as a trophy.
Andross reprises his behavior as an Assist Trophy from Brawl. Unlike in Brawl (where Andross lands in parts of the background that match where he was summoned), he moves to the center of the background, regardless of which part of the stage he was summoned.
Andross has a spawn chance of 30/1254. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):
Andross appears as two trophies, with his original SNES design in both versions and his True Form in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
Andross appears as an Assist Trophy and reprises his behavior from Super Smash Bros. 4.
Andross is also one of the few Assist Trophies unable to be defeated. Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy: Moves into the background, then fires polygon panels at the stage. Can't be KO'd.
Andross has a spawn chance of 30/2086. He cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
Andross cannot be summoned if the following items are active and vice versa:
Andross also appears as three different primary spirits.
Andross can only be summoned with the cores of Porygon and Commander.
In Adventure Mode: World of Light, Andross's Star Fox 64 3D version is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by Galeem during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, Dharkon takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Andross. Andross (Star Fox 64 3D)'s spirit is located in the Mysterious Dimension sub-dungeon of The Dark Realm. Prior to his battle, the player is quizzed on which spirit was a scientist.
Andross (Star Fox 64 3D) uses a Ganondorf puppet fighter and is fought on the Venom stage. During the battle, Andross appears as a hostile Assist Trophy and the gravity is reduced, referencing how Andross is a floating apparition.
Andross (True Form) can be obtained by enhancing the Andross (Star Fox 64 3D) spirit at level 99.
