  Krystal (star Fox)
Krystal's home planet of Cerinia was destroyed, and her parents as well as everyone else on the planet were killed; though when and how this happened have not been revealed, there is a hint that Andross was responsible.
Fox takes off in his Arwing to challenge him, and discovers the Krazoa head is really Andross; after defeating Andross, Fox heads back to the palace, only to find Krystal is not there.
As noted above, the transition from ''Dinosaur Planet'' to ''Star Fox Adventures'' resulted in Krystal's role in the game being severely reduced; Krystal herself is only playable for a short time before being imprisoned by Andross, and remains captive until Fox releases her in the endgame.

 The Armchair Empire - Gamecube Preview: Star Fox Adventure: Dinosaur Planet
Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet by Rare for Gamecube, originally announced last year as “Dinosaur Planet” for the N64, has gotten a GCN worthy facelift, a new name and a new cast of familiar characters.
Fans of the earlier Star Fox games might pine for the focus on spaceship dogfights but for those of us who’ve always wished to land the Arwing on one of those passing planets and explore, Dinosaur planet might be the most appropriate next step for the series.
Star Fox benefits from having been in development longer than other Gamecube first generation titles yet could be hindered by its 64 bit roots.

 Star Fox - WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia
Star Fox 64 was considered the "test dummy" of what the Nintendo 64 could do and was, in simple terms, a remake of the original SNES game.
Sometime between the events of Star Fox 64 and Command, her fur is changed to that of dark brown, in an orange flightsuit, and her demeanor has changed from flirty to outgoing and brash.
In Star Fox Command, Andross is approached with a different light, starting with the fact that it is implied that he died of natural causes AFTER the events of Star Fox 64, rather than being killed by Fox; the encounter with him on Sauria is entirely disregarded.

 Star Fox Adventures - ESCMag Review
Star Fox Adventures puts you in the shoes of everyone’s favorite space-faring fox as he tries to free Dinosaur Planet from the tyrannical reign of General Scales.
Fox, and any character with fur, is beautifully rendered to the point where individual pieces of fur can be manipulated by the wind and surrounding environment.
Star Fox Adventures is a very, very good game, and a decent effort by Rare as their last GameCube game.

 Star Fox Adventures - Arwingpedia
Fox realizes that he must release all the Krazoa spirits to bring the planet back together.[17] He travels back to the Walled City, where he finds another Krazoa Shrine at the top of the large temple, and obtains the spirit there.
Fox chases after him in his Arwing, and defeats him with the help of Falco, who suddenly flies in to assist him, after being absent from the Star Fox team for years.[19] After Andross is finally defeated for good, Falco rejoins the Star Fox team.
Star Fox Adventures was originally slated for release on the Nintendo 64 under the title "Dinosaur Planet." Originally, Krystal was to play the protagonist, the adopted child of a wizard-like character by the name of Randorn.

 Dinosaur Planet: A look inside the Lost N64 game.
From the silly excuse of Fox not being able to use his blaster (but being able to fire shots from the Stargate-like staff) to a completely cut out final duel with General Scales at the end, it was clear this was really never meant to be a Star Fox game.
Star Fox Adventures will always hold a special place for me, it was a game that not only did I follow from the initial announcement, but one that I watched grow and evolve over the years of development.
Star Fox Adventures is pretty boring, I played through about three-quarters of it but that was all I could take.

However, this time, Fox's ship has been grounded (for the vast majority of the game) and, for the first time, he is the star of his very own Action/RPG game.
It is your goal to go to these chunks of planet (thank goodness Fox has some space flying skills) to collect their SpellStones (one per chunk of planet), so you can unite the planet once again.
Maybe it's that he's a fox, and foxes are, by nature, sly looking, but he never had a look to him that made me say, "Here's a hero".

 | insert credit | review | star fox adventures: dinosaur planet |
When Fox gets on all fours -- like the animal he and his triceratops companion are (see: Mickey vs. Pluto) -- and crawls into a tight space, you are treated to what is perhaps the greatest-ever rustling-of-clothes sound effect.
Star Fox's insertion into what started out as Dinosaur Planet, an ordinary little fetch-quest-laden adventure in the vein of Zelda, is not entirely welcome.
Star Fox Adventures was originally planned as Dinosaur Planet, which was to see the Rare Platformer breaking free of cookie-cutter storylines and cheap-shot humor, and taking on something a little more dark, and serious, and even Zelda-worthy.

 Star Fox Adventures - recensione cube su SpazioGames.it
Tra i progetti a cui si diede avvio ci fu un certo Dinosaur Planet, un’avventura tridimensionale ambientata in un fantastico universo preistorico dominato dalle arti della magia.
Star Fox Adventures prevede anche sezioni in cui il protagonista dovrà pilotare mezzi terrestri come motoslitte e hovercraft monoposto, spesso in gara contro il tempo o contro avversari di vario genere: si tratta di piccoli livelli arcade ben realizzati e che contribuiscono alla varietà del gioco.
Rimangono le perplessità circa l’utilizzo dei personaggi di Star Fox all’interno di un gioco inizialmente pensato per protagonisti differenti: nonostante le sezioni a bordo della navicella Starwing, la licenza Nintendo appare inopportuna e i fan dei vecchi titoli della volpe spaziale non troveranno un “vero” episodio di Star Fox.

 Star Fox: Assault - GC review at Thunderbolt Games
The original Star Fox on the SNES was undoubtedly a revolutionary step forward for console shooters, due to exciting on-rails gameplay and lush (for the time) 3D graphics.
Just before the Star Fox team is able to land the coup de grâce on Oikonny and his squadron, however, a powerful insectoid-like fleet arrives and forces the Cornerians to beat a hasty retreat.
The official Star Fox theme is tied marvelously into a variety of different melodies at various points throughout the game, and is always welcomed wherever it pops up.

 Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet - DiscussAnything.com -
Taking Fox and friends to Dinosaur Planet, "Adventures" boils down to solid yet familiar third-party action and questing, with some aerial navigation and combat thrown in to boot.
The story sets Fox up on Dinosaur Planet after he receives a distress call, although the game actually starts off with a new female character investigating the situation first.
Fox will grab ledges, get on ladders, and perform other actions in the same way, making it a far more user-friendly experience for younger gamers without dulling the action for more mature players.

 Star Fox Adventures - GameCritics.com
Fox travels to some forest or temple or other area of epic nature, learns of some crystal or spellstone or some artifact that must be collected to procede with the story and follows a series of puzzles to reach that goal.
Star Fox pulls this off with finesse, however we're talking about a franchise that has shafted its roots and latched on to another form of gameplay.
Granted, placing Fox McCloud and friends in the Dinosaur Planet scenario is interesting, it all feel just a little out of place at times.

After a brief stint as Krystal the game switches to the Star Fox team on the Great Fox, where General Pepper chimes in and tells them that they need to go fix the Dinosaur Planet because it is falling apart and it could have an adverse effect on the entire Lylat star system.

In Star Fox, Venom is the first planet of the Lylat System and is known as the "Evergreen Planet" (and according to some sources, was even once called Edena) because it boasts flora that make its beauty second only to that of Corneria.
Star Fox is at its core a scrolling shooter, in a third-person 3D perspective.
