Trivia

• This event is a reference to the fact that Wolf and Andross are the main villains of the Star Fox universe.
• This is the only time an Assist Trophy character is on the stage permanently, from the very start of the event until the players have successfully defeated Wolf.
• Strangely --aside from the final two co-op events-- Fox and Falco are not seen, used, or mentioned in any other of the previous 18 co-op events until this last one with an assigned character (Co-Op Event 19: Shadow of Andross).
  • Additionally, this is Fox and Falco's only appearance in the co-op events with an assigned character.
• This event appears to be the inverse of solo event Event 38: The Wolf Hunts the Fox, where instead of using Wolf to defeat Fox and Falco, the players use Fox and Falco to defeat Wolf.
• This event is similar to the Melee event Event 29: Triforce Gathering, where two characters (the main protagonists) team up to defeat a villain (the main antagonist) from any specific game of their own universe.
• Strangely, while Melee's Event 45: Game and Watch Forever! has the assigned character as Mr. Game & Watch (which is the set last unlockable character to be unlocked in Melee) and Brawl's solo event Event 38: The Wolf Hunts the Fox has the assigned character as Wolf (which is the set last unlockable character to be unlocked in Brawl), this co-op event has assigned characters who are not the last unlockable characters players unlock in the game. Instead, the players use Fox (for P1) and Falco (for P2). Fox is a starter character, while Falco is an unlockable character (which may be unlocked first).
  • The last unlockable characters are assigned characters in the three co-op events Co-Op Event 14: The Dark Guardians (which is Wolf), Co-Op Event 15: Four Swords Brawl (which is Toon Link), and Co-Op Event 16: Jigglypuff's Great Comeback (which is Jigglypuff).
