Star Fox Adventures was the end result of Dinosaur Planet's development. Dinosaur Planet was in development from late 1997, until late 2002 when it was rebranded to Star Fox Adventures. 

Star Fox Adventures upon release received mixed reviews from critics. Some reviews praised its adventure, on-foot mechanic while others were confused about the plot and story; wondering why there was a lack of air combat in a series known for arcade space-shooting action. That's because Star Fox Adventures obviously wasn't meant to be a Star Fox game, and started out as its own title.  (You can see this in the December 2000 build of Dinosaur Planet, where voice lines / dialogue is changed to reference Star Fox Characters!) 

The story of Star Fox Adventures recycles many plot elements from Dinosaur Planet, being General Scales, the Krazoa, etc. But majority of the plot elements were tossed away, simplified, or were outright removed. (i.e., Sabre.)
