The special move's name is '''[[Fire Fox]]''', where Fox charges with fire, then propel himself in a direction chosen by the Control stick with a fiery blast. The move does 16% damage and decent knockback. Fire Fox's main usage is for Fox's recovery, which covers at least some decent distance and along with Fox's high [[air speed]] (third only behind {{SSB|Yoshi}} and {{SSB|Pikachu}}), he can recover some good distance in total. It is interesting to note that in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Fox does not cover himself in fire when he charges in a direction, and when he's charging, he also does not charge with flames around him unlike its sequels.

Hitbox of Fox's up special in Smash 64.

The special move's name is Fire Fox, where Fox charges with fire, then propel himself in a direction chosen by the Control stick with a fiery blast. The move does 16% damage and decent knockback. Fire Fox's main usage is for Fox's recovery, which covers at least some decent distance and along with Fox's high air speed (third only behind Yoshi and Pikachu), he can recover some good distance in total. However, Fox is vulnerable during the charging of the move, making him easy to hit with a meteor smash or another powerful edgeguarding move. With the right timing, it is even possible to hit him while moving. It is interesting to note that in the original Super Smash Bros., Fox does not cover himself in fire when he charges in a direction, and when he's charging, he also does not charge with flames around him unlike its sequels. The move also cannot damage opponents during the charging, similar to Falco's Fire Bird in Melee.
