The '''Sarumarine''' is the boss of [[Zoness]] in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' piloted by a nameless primate who spoke with a heavy, stereotypical pirate voice. The ship itself, by its name, can submerge and emerge in water. | |||
Its name originates from "submarine" and "saru", a Japanese word that means "monkey". | |||

However, after Zoness was captured by Andross, the research station had also began to be used to cause pollution on Zoness under [[Andross]]' control, and began acting as a primary base for his army. | ||

During the Lylat Wars, word was received to [[Corneria]]n intelligence that a base was on Zoness, a fact that also surprised [[General Pepper]]. [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] then had to sneak into Zoness and start a bombing raid on the base, destroying the radar searchlight buoys to maintain cover. Unfortunately, the Sarumarine had managed to spot them halfway and waited for them at the end, even after all of the buoys were destroyed. It then attempted to sneak attack the Star Fox team and [[Katt Monroe]] by releasing explosive barrels and then revealed itself.

After its snorkels were destroyed by the Star Fox team, it then attempted to fix any damages from the team (such as any detachments of the cannon/mine units) with its crane, although Star Fox managed to destroy the crane. Afterwards, it was eventually sunk by the Star Fox team. | ||

The Sarumarine is equipped with massively thick hull armor that would deflect most (if not all) weaponry. Aside from its defensive capabilities, it had its own weapons which include a large chained macehead that erupts from the front of the machine at [[Fox]]'s [[Arwing]]. | The Sarumarine is equipped with massively thick hull armor that would deflect most (if not all) weaponry.

Also included are a supply of detonating barrels that erupt into a pillar of fire when they go off. These small barrels can float along the water's surface and can be seen scattered throughout the level as well. The barrels are deployed from two large attachments on either side of the Sarumarine. | Also included are a supply of detonating barrels that erupt into a pillar of fire when they go off.

The salvage crane used to reattach the broken off compartments is also vulnerable and once taken care of, the Sarumarine can no longer replenish its defense. | The salvage crane used to reattach the broken off compartments is also vulnerable and once taken care of, the Sarumarine can no longer replenish its defense. | ||
Firing Smart Bombs into the openings breaks away the ship's armor from within until it finally becomes susceptible to normal laser fire. Of which, the ship can now be easily and quickly dispatched. | Firing Smart Bombs into the openings breaks away the ship's armor from within until it finally becomes susceptible to normal laser fire.
