The green planet Peppy's Arwing is shown hurdling towards in the prologue for Star Fox 64 (and also its 3DS remake, Star Fox 64 3D) is actually meant to represent Papetoon, his and also Fox and James' home planet. The Japanese prologue even refers to it as such, and various Japanese SF64 material also mention it. However, when Star Fox 64 was localized for Western audiences, Nintendo of America completely wiped out all specific mention of Papetoon in both the prologue and also manuals/guidebooks.
