Barrier Sphere

Revision as of 17:05, 1 November 2008 by *>Jimbo Jambo (Rewriting and expanding. I kept the bit about the mystic force, but left it more open-ended and uncertain, since, well, we really don't know)

The Barrier Sphere is an item in Star Fox: Assault which creates a shield around a pilot when activated, making him or her completely invulnerable to harm for a limited time. Barriers are especially useful when surrounded by a large swarm of enemies or in close combat with an enemy with heavy firepower. One can find barriers lying around levels in specific places, and players who die in VS. mode will receive one upon respawning, or two if using Krystal.

It is never actually mentioned what creates the barrier shield, be it a hidden technological device or some kind of mystic force, but many people believe that barriers are based on the Reflector used by Fox and other characters in the Super Smash Bros. series.
