Template:SeriesInfoBox The Star Fox series is one of Nintendo's most notable video game franchises which debuted commercially in 1993 with the game Star Fox (or Starwing as the PAL region may know it) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The series is based on a fusion of an experimental video game development from Argonaut Software and a kemono concept that was created by Shigeru Miyamoto.

This series has often been generally categorized as a scrolling, third-person arcade shooter, although not every game necessarily had that as its main element of game-play. The series had been notable in Nintendo's gaming history, with games such as Star Fox being one of the earliest console video games with actual three-dimensional graphics, as well as being the first video game to use the Super FX chip, and Star Fox 64 being the first console game to support force-feedback technology. Each previously mentioned game's respective innovation was key to that game's success in the video game market. This series is one of Nintendo's few franchises that features full-voice acting and progressive plots.

The series closely follows a team of space-trekking, anthropomorphic animal characters called "Star Fox" in space-based mercenary missions, within a star system called the Lylat System, in order to save their home planet Corneria from various antagonists. The titular team is composed of four main, reoccurring characters known as Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare. However, overtime, the series added other notable characters such as Krystal and Star Wolf. The series is considered to be situated in a futuristic science-fiction setting, usually using fighter spacecrafts called Arwings as the games' players' main element of progression.

Due to the anthropomorphic nature of the characters, the series overall is often perceived as a furry video game series.
