In Star Fox for the SNES Pepper Hare would ask of you to do a barrel
roll. Doing a barrel
roll in Star Fox is to press the shoulder buttons twice, pressing
L shoulder button then
L again would make the R-wing do a barrel
roll counter clockwise, pressing the R shoulder button then R again would make the R-wing do a barrel
roll clockwise.
utlizing a barrel
roll is extremly usful in Star Fox as it deflects most objects fired at the R-wing
The term "Do a barrel roll" is commonly mistaken that it froms from Star Fox 64. It did not. But it was spoken by a voice actor for Peppy Hare in Star Fox 64. In Star Foxes training mode, the
game would give you simple tasks. Eventually 3 other R-wings would fly around as you were told to do the same as them, after sometime before the 3 other R-wings would barrel roll Peppy would tell you to do a barrel roll.
Peppy: Do a Barrel
Roll! (text only)
(The player decides if they want to do a barrel

Guy 1: Ha you died, only if you would have done a barrel roll!
Guy 2: I'M NOT PLAYING STAR FOX!!
Guy 1: Oh yea, sorry.
