Star Fox (series)/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * The Aparoids takeover and apparent eradication of Sauria and it's defences in Star Fox Assault. We know the dinosaurs fought back, we know they lost. However, it is more than just a simple case of inverting Rock Beats Laser. The objective of the mission for Star Fox (or rather Fox and Krystal on the ground) is to destroy the Aparoid Hatchers, which enable them to multiply and spawn more troops. Peppy even directly states that "if we can destroy those Hatchers, we might just have a chance". The mission finishes the moment all the Hatchers on Sauria's surface are destroyed. Star Fox had experience combatting the Aparoids prior, they knew what to look for in order to gain an advantage or victory over their enemies. The dinosaur tribes of Sauria on the other hand, had no such experience, and were facing an enemy that was more technologically superior to them, and was capable of replenishing their troop numbers almost instantly, as opposed to their own numbers. The invasion was already well under way long before the Star Fox team got there. It wasn't a straight-up Curb Stomp Battle, the Aparoids won through sheer numbers and inexperience on the part of the planet's protectors.
