:''Falco's Final Smash. He jumps aboard the Landmaster high-spec, anticraft tank. With the tank's powerful cannon blasts and rolling ability, it's possible to take out all enemies at once. The Landmaster is based on actual production vehicles, but Team Star Fox's Landmaster was customized by the team's mechanic, Slippy Toad.''

[[Image:Landmaster_2.gif|thumb|200px|The Landmaster can fall through small holes.]]Due to its size, the cannon of the Landmaster fires above most character's heads, requiring a bit of strategy to properly use. Also, it comes from the sky as seen in gameplay videos and even goes off from smaller platforms. This makes it difficult to use in small stages such as [[Battlefield (SSBB)|Battlefield]].

Despite its size, it only requires a 'player' sized piece of land to rest upon. Also, it can fall down any 3-'player' sized hole, if it is positioned right. This leads to the landmaster being able to fall down small gaps, such as the one in the center of the 'Yoshi's Island' [[Past and Melee Stages|Melee stage]].

Due to the Landmaster's size, it can not easily maneuver around small stages or small enclosures, such as those found in the Hyrule Temple. Once summoned on [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]], it will be immposible to get to lower parts of stage, due to Landmaster's size.

Oddly, both Falco and Wolf use the Landmaster for their Final Smashes, despite Falco having an open hatred of it in Star Fox 64, and neither using it outside of multiplayer.

Because three characters use the Landmaster despite the contradiction of the ''Star Fox'' canon, the term "Landmaster" has come to colloquially refer to any move that more than one character shares (for example, [[Marth (SSBB)|Marth]] and [[Ike (SSBB)|Ike's]] [[Counter]]). The Landmaster has also become a recurring joke on many forums, in which the Landmaster is sarcastically referred to as something that there is not enough of in the game. A similar joke is that because all 3 of them use a landmaster, there is meme of a screen that says: Everyone has a landmaster, do you, or similar content. Furthering this joke are edited pictures of more characters using Landmasters, such as a Landmaster edited green with Toon Link as one of the characters.

According to Falco's Final Smash trophy, Landmasters are manufactured as a regular military tank, with the Star Fox variety customized by Slippy. Wolf's Final Smash trophy indicates that he analyzed Fox's Landmaster and customized his own.

There is a small glitch when you play on Stage Builder stages. When the landmaster pushes a player against a normal sized block, the player can fall through the block.
