The Blue-Marine is a research submersible from the Star Fox series of video games.
Description
[edit | edit source]The Blue-Marine was designed and built by Slippy Toad with the assistance of his father, Beltino Toad. Once Andross invaded the Lylat System, Slippy converted the machine into a combat submarine with lasers and a device that can make an infinite amount of energy torpedoes that can not only be used as weapons, but as a means of lighting up the dark depths of the Lylat System's many oceans, but it's not the fastest or most manuverable craft.
The official Star Fox 64 player's guide provided statistics for the Blue Marine.
- 16.5 sm in length
- 7 sm in height
- maximum speed of 116 skt/h
- a maximum dive of 2,000 sm
- armament including a T&B-U3 laser cannon and a Homing Torpedo launcher.
Additionally, the guide states that both the Landmaster and the Blue-Marine use propulsions system components originally developed for the Arwing. All three can synthesize their own hydrogen fuel for their plasma engines, giving them extended operating ranges.
In Star Fox 64, Fox McCloud took the machine into the depths of Aquas, a planet covered entirely by one huge ocean.
It does not appear in any game afterwards. In Star Fox Command, Star Fox returns to Aquas (in some stories) and the Arwings prove to work just fine underwater, rendering the Blue Marine useless.
