There's a somewhat notable plot hole in Star Fox Adventures when Fox meets up with Tricky for the first time: the former tells him that his father, the King EarthWalker, has been captured by the SharpClaw and that it was the Queen EarthWalker that sent him to rescue Tricky.

The issue is that Fox shouldn't actually know anything about the King EarthWalker's predicament because all he was told by the Queen EarthWalker (translated by Slippy Toad) was to go to Ice Mountain and save Tricky. It's obvious that this plothole is merely a remnant of the original Dinosaur Planet storyline, where Sabre was already informed by his father, Randorn, about the King EarthWalker and Tricky, and was instructed to rescue the latter at Ice Mountain.

The Japanese version of Star Fox Adventures would actually attempt to rectify this plothole by altering the dialogue between Fox and Tricky through the Japanese subtitles.

Tricky: ・・・ヘタな着地だったよな〜。パンツが破れたんじゃないの、キャッハッハー! (...that was a bad landing! I think you ripped your pants, hahaha!)
Fox: このガキ...(You little...)
Tricky: ・・・そういう態度はどうかなー。パパはアソーカ王なんだぞ! (...I don't know about that attitude. My dad is the King of Ahsoka!)
Fox: それよりどこか具合が悪いんじゃないか? お前のママ... (Isn't there something worse than that? Your mom...)
Tricky: え! ママが? (What? My mom?)
Fox: そんな風に見えたけど...(She looked like she was...)
Tricky: ママは... 大丈夫? (Is she... is she okay?)
Fox: ...大丈夫さ、一緒に帰ろう。 (...She's fine. Let's go home together.)

As one can see from above, Fox's dialogue was reworked to remove all mention of the King EarthWalker being captured, instead worrying about the health of the Queen EarthWalker.
