20 years ago, the Star Fox franchise ventured into a new genre with Star Fox Adventures – an action adventure game that saw series protagonist Fox McCloud embark on a mission to save the aptly-named Dinosaur Planet. While it has been years since Nintendo acknowledged both Star Fox Adventures and the Star Fox series as a whole, some prominent creators have now shared their tributes for the game!

To commemorate the game’s 20th anniversary, Star Fox character designer Takaya Imamura has shared a new illustration of Krystal – who first debuted in Star Fox Adventures as a new heroine that Fox McCloud encounters. Check it out in full below:

Will Overton, a former Rare Artist and magazine cover designer, also shared a neat peek at the company’s 2001 Christmas card, which actually featured some of the cast of Star Fox Adventures. While Overton did not work on Star Fox Adventures directly, it’s a pretty lovely tribute to the game!

I didn't really have anything to do with Starfox Adventures but I did get the gang on the 2001 Rare crimbo card. pic.twitter.com/udSWMZ7C3c

The latest Star Fox game released by Nintendo to date is Star Fox Zero – a reimagining of the original Star Fox 64 storyline with a new control scheme, released for the Wii U console in 2016. Things have been quiet for the franchise since then, although fans continue to hope that Nintendo will one day revive it with a new title.
