Star Fox Adventures for the GameCube is the first game from the Star Fox games for the platform. In the game, Fox must help to save Dinosaur Planet by returning the different Krazoa spirits and the Spell stones back to their rightful places in order to restore the planet. Just like other Star Fox games before it, Andross is behind the entirety of the problems. Unlike every Star Fox game before it, Star Fox Adventures is not only a scrolling shooter game. Play in Adventures is very similar to the Legend of Zelda games, specifically Ocarina of Time. The game has underlying themes of imperialism, racism, and also Marxism.
Star Fox Adventures marked a new direction for the series for a time, with the next released game Star Fox Assault almost pushing the series toward a third person adventure/shooter direction. However, Adventures received many positive reviews, especially considering that it followed after one of the best video games of all time, Star Fox 64.
