The Landmaster originally appeared in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' (known as ''Lylat Wars'' in PAL regions). On the planets Titania and Macbeth, the Fox must pilot the Landmaster tank to complete their objectives. The abilities to roll over (known as a barrel roll in this game) and temporarily hover were both in the original game. The Landmaster was unlockable for the game's Versus Mode, the only place in which it could be used by Star Fox team members other than Fox himself. It also appears in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}'', wherein Fox can enter and exit the Landmaster as needed, and it can be used by other characters in Versus Mode as well. | The Landmaster originally appeared in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64}}'' (known as ''Lylat Wars'' in PAL regions).

The tank's appearance is | The tank's appearance is an amalgation of its designs from ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Star Fox Assault'', blending traditional tank treads from the former game while maintaining the sharp and futuristic appearance from the latter game, (in ''Star Fox Assault'', the Landmaster ran on off-road wheels). This particular design would be officially implemented into the ''Star Fox'' series proper beginning with the Landmaster's appearance in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox 64 3D}}'', and would be used again in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}''. | ||
Falco has | Falco has never used the Landmaster by any circumstance outside the multiplayer of ''Star Fox 64'', due to having an open hatred of it. This is referenced by him saying "Personally, I prefer the air!" upon activating the Final Smash. The quote itself is re-translation of post-mission dialogue after clearing Aquas in ''Star Fox 64'', with Falco snidely saying, "I'll take the sky any day!" towards an annoyed [[Slippy]]. The quote used in ''Brawl'' would later be referenced in ''Star Fox Zero'' during the Titania mission. | ||
Falco's | Landmasters are manufactured as a regular military tank, with the Star Fox variety customized by [[Slippy]], according to Falco's Final Smash [[trophy]]. This seems to be evidenced by Falco's Landmaster being more air-oriented. | ||
Wolf, who is the leader of the rival faction of Star Wolf, has never been seen using a Landmaster outside of the Versus Mode of ''Star Fox: Assault''. The trophy description says Wolf examined Fox's Landmaster and created an improved version for himself. In the Japanese version, Wolf's Final Smash is named 'Landmaster Kai', which can be translated into Landmaster Custom, indicating that Wolf's model is a customized version. Wolf's Landmaster also resembles the Venomian Landmasters from ''Star Fox 64''. | Wolf, who is the leader of the rival faction of Star Wolf, has never been seen using a Landmaster outside of the Versus Mode of ''Star Fox: Assault''.
