Shadow of Andross (アンドルフの影, Shadow of Andorf) is the 19th co-op event match out of a total of 21 in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. As Fox and Falco, the players must KO Wolf in the Lylat Cruise stage, while getting attacked by and having to avoid the assist trophy character Andross.
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 first time an Assist Trophy character is on the stage permanently. This concept was later revived in certain Spirit Battles in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as Assist Trophy enemies.
- Furthermore, the concept of Andross endlessly shooting tiles at the player is revived in Commander's and his Star Fox 64 3D spirit battle.
- This event appears to be the inverse of single player 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 Melee's Event 29: Triforce Gathering, where two protagonists (the main protagonist) of a specific playable character universe team up to defeat a villain (the main antagonist) from their own universe.
- Aside from the final two co-op events, this is the only co-op event where Fox and Falco appear in. Interestingly, they aren't seen nor used in any other co-op event with an assigned character (up to 19) until this last one.
- Comparable to assigned events (the last ones with assigned characters) in both Melee and Brawl (including Event 45: Game & Watch Forever! and Event 38: The Wolf Hunts the Fox), in this last co-op event with an assigned character, the player does not use an unlockable character that most players unlock last. The two players (P1 and P2) are Fox and Falco (a starter character and an unlockable character which can sometimes be unlocked first).
