There WAS a point when I was going to try to finish the last level on my own, but we only had three lives and I really wanted to see the game in its entirety. Until the person next to you gets sick of you and decides to punch you. It’s quite a fun thing to recite over and over. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get the snotty tone of “BOW BEFORE THE GREAT AAAAAAAAANDROSS!” out of my head. Let’s take a minute to discuss the awesome voice acting in this game, shall we? But it was so cheesy I loved it. I don’t hate the toad of the slippy variety that much. DON’T TICK OFF THE TOAD, PEOPLE! Maybe Miyamoto meant for Slippy Toad to be like Princess Toadstool - a whiny, non self sufficient biatch. Oh, Slippy…Slippy Toad, if you will (and you will) you are SO FRIGGEN’ WHINEY!!! “GET EM OFF ME FOX!” “FOOOOX!” “I’M MONKEY FOOD IF I DON’T GET OFF OF THIS PLANET!” Good LORD, kid - how you ever got to do the thing you do is beyond me. How I ended up taking this route I don’t even know. “ Apparently you can take different routes throughout the game. The game ends with the Great Fox and the Star Fox team flying off in their Arwings into the skies. When offered membership into the Cornerian Army, Fox declines on behalf of his team saying “Oh no, sir. When he narrowly escapes, they return to Corneria for a victory celebration. After defeating the brain, James appears and shows Fox the way out. Fox defeats Andross, who reveals his true form, a floating brain with two floating eyes. Fox eventually decides to confront Andross one more time, along with Star Wolf. He destroys it and returns to Corneria, leaving Andross in Venom. The team eventually invades Venom, where Fox defeats Andross, only to find that it is a false, robotic version of himself. While traveling through several planets, including the Lylat System’s star, Solar, and the asteroid field Meteo, the team battles with several of Andross’ henchmen, including the rival mercenaries, Star Wolf. Realizing that his army cannot stop Andross, Pepper summons the Star Fox team, now consisting of Fox, Peppy, Falco Lombardi and Slippy Toad. James eventually sacrifices himself, allowing Peppy to escape and tell James’ son, Fox McCloud about his father’s fate.Ī few years following James’ demise, Andross launches an attack across the Lylat System. After arriving at Venom, Pigma betrays the team and causes James and Peppy to be captured by Andross. Pepper hires the Star Fox team (consisting of James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar) to investigate. Five years after Andross’ exile, Pepper discovers an unknown activity in Venom. For Andross’ treason, General Pepper exiles the scientist to the remote planet Venom. Ingenious scientist Andross, a native of the fourth planet Corneria, is driven to madness and nearly destroys the planet using biological weapons. “Star Fox 64 is set on a group of planets in the Lylat System. Therefore I need to be 112% honest and say I only played about 25% of the game, but I finally experienced it first hand, so that counts as something…right? RIGHT? Hello, Star Wars-esque awesomeness.Īnd because my impression of Star Fox 64 was “What is this I don’t even” here is the entire plot summary, courtesy of Wikipedia: Granted, my friend (who was with me) had completed Star Fox 64 a million kajillion times before, so I probably looked like a re-re, but here’s my first and final impression of Star Fox 64: Also, I’ve learned that I am, like, not naturally good at Star Fox 64. Here’s the thing that amazed me: Star Fox 64 was finished within an hour of firing it up. Unfortunately the TV was shitty as hell, but what do you expect when you pay $80 a night? (It totally served its purpose, though, and it brought back a sense of nostalgia! There’s something retro-ly awesome about playing old games on old shitty televisions.) (Besides the Normandy.)Īnyway, over the weekend I headed over to Eastern WA and was in one of those let’s-get-away-and-just-forget-about-the-city moods, so I brought a N64 and Star Fox 64. All I know is that I’ll never ever be a captain of anything that flies. Actually, I had never played ANY of the Star Fox games - unless you want to count that miserable failed attempt at Star Fox 64 3D at E3 a few years back. Like A Link to the Past, I was sorta-kinda ashamed that I had never finished Star Fox 64.
