Oh okay, so that's the only game you actually played too? I didn't know that. As for whether the rest of the Star Fox team, like Peppy and Slippy, only cared about the money or not, it's never really confirmed either way, so it's hard to say. All that's really clear is that was at least part of the reason they took the job since they were low on it and needed it for ship-related maintenance (not to mention I think they were going to use part of it to fix up ROB the robot). And of course, Falco had initially left and only came back at the end to assist Fox in finally taking down Andross for good, so I think his motive was simply a matter of feeling like he didn't belong or needed to "stretch his wings", so to speak, and try something new, but he then found he missed being a part of the team.
