'''Wolf O'Donnell''' is the longtime rival of [[Fox McCloud]], who appears in the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' series of games, making his debut in ''[[Wikipedia:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]''. He is the leader of the [[LylatWiki:Star Wolf|Star Wolf wing]], a rival team to Fox's [[LylatWiki:Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]]. Wolf later appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. After a ten-year playable absence in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, he reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]].

Wolf is one of the unlockable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', using his appearance from ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]'', and is voiced by Jay Ward. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Wolf was nearly cut from the game due to time constraints. He is both the biggest and heaviest of the ''Star Fox'' characters. He is not as fast as Fox and [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], but his attacks are more powerful. His aerial speed is better than that of Fox's and Falco's. He can be unlocked by having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary, playing 400450 Brawl matches, or by clearing Boss Battles with either Fox or Falco, then defeating him on [[Lylat Cruise]].

Though his [[List of special moves|special moves]] are based on the basic design of Fox's special moves, they have been altered for Wolf, with new effects for all of them. All his standard moves are different as well. Wolf's standard special move is the [[#Blaster|Blaster]], though unlike Fox and Falco's, the gun has a claw-like extension that damages nearby opponents. His side special is [[#Wolf Flash|Wolf Flash]], which gives Wolf some vertical height and has a [[meteor smash]] at the end. His up special is [[#Fire Wolf|Fire Wolf]], in which Wolf instantly charges in the direction held on the control stick, the air surrounding him damaging opponents. His down special is [[#Reflector|Reflector]], which has a different visual effect than the other characters' Reflectors and increases the speed of reflected items and projectiles rather than power. His [[Final Smash]] is the [[#Landmaster|Landmaster]], his version having more firepower and sporting Wolfen coloration.

In theThe Subspace Emissary, Wolf doesn't play a major role and does not interact with other video game characters, but can join the player's party after beating [[Tabuu]], along with [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Toon Link]]. The player must enter a special Redred Doordoor in [[The Ruins]] stage, which will take them to Lylat Cruise. The player sees Wolf flying his [[Wolfen]]. He then jumps out of the Wolfen, and lands on the cruise. Wolf strikes a pose and then rushes at the player attacking him or herthem. The player must then defeat Wolf in a one-life stock battle. After defeat, he joins the party.

While Wolf does not return as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', he still appears as part of the smash taunt on [[Lylat Cruise]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. forthe Wii U]]'' version. Wolf also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game. Finally, some of Wolf's moves have been implemented as custom special moves for Fox, and Fox also has a palette swap that references Wolf.

Wolf reappears for the first time as a playable character since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he has been redesigned to match his appearance in ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox Zero|Star Fox Zero]]''. To reflect upon this, Wolf is now voiced by Mike West, who voiced the character in ''Star Fox 64 3D'', ''Star Fox Zero'', and ''Starlink: Battle for Atlas''<ref>https://imgur.com/a/teobY9C</ref>. Additionally, the majority of his moveset is also updated to reflect his new design, while he takes on a more upright posture during battle. Wolf is also much more nimble. He also has a new Final Smash involving other members of Star Wolf.

Wolf's Classic Mode route has him battling characters who are not fighters in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', but are fighters in at least one prior ''Super Smash Bros.'' game. [[Galleom]]'s appearance as a boss references hisits absence from the 3DS and Wii U games.

The '''[[lylatwiki:Landmaster|Landmaster]]''' is Wolf's [[Final Smash]] in ''Brawl'', shared with Fox and Falco and based on the Landmaster first used by Team Star Fox in [[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64|''Star Fox 64'' / ''Lylat Wars'']], although its design is specifically based on its appearances in both ''Star Fox 64'' and ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]'', recolored to match the ships used by Star Wolf, the [[Wolfen]]. Upon activating the move, Wolf leaps into the air and falls back down inside the Landmaster. Compared to Fox and Falco's Landmaster, Wolf's has the greatest attack power and movement speed, both on the ground and in the air, though it does not last as long as the others.

*'''Snake''': "Wolf"." Real imaginative name...

*'''Colonel''': He's the leader of a ragtag team called "Star Wolf"." They're the longtime rivals of Star Fox.

*'''Colonel''': Well, I don't think he works well with others. I suppose they're more like hangers-on than actual comrades. But he's a remarkable pilot. And his ship, the "Wolfen"," is no slouch, either.
