He actually did... Old comment, I know, but notice how when Fox finally sends the station into meltdown, Pigma goes back from the monotone droning he was spouting earlier to screaming in agony before the station blew apart, violently ending his life. It's terrifying to think that Pigma briefly regained his mind before a particularly brutal death by way of large-scale fulmination.
I sometimes wonder what James McCloud’s reaction would’ve been like if he saw his former teammate who betrayed him become this giant monster for the whole Star Fox team to try and defeat.
James wouldn’t be happy per say. More so disappointed that Pigma let his greed get the better of him…again. Peppy didn’t celebrate Pigma’s death so I don’t think James would either.
This boss was the true definition of intimidation. I was expecting a fight with him in his ship. And then I got one of the most scared times I have ever experienced. He beat me due to the fact that I was shaken and terrafied. I still barely now will watch the cutscene when it comes up. I beat him of course, but this still scares me a little. And pigma is another prime example of karma.
Now that you mentioned it. Pigma did said that, in ironic ways. Because he told Fox that James scream real good before he died (though I assumed that Jame is still alive), and then, Pigma scream is just like how he described as Jame's death.
@@donathan2933What did he say about this part of Star Fox’s game for an alien pig who died in space by turning himself into that satellite monster? But it looks like this little fat piggy goes wee all the way to die.
This was kind of a little to dark for a star fox game. I mean, the whole concept of these space creatures taking over people's minds to do their bidding.
how can people not think this is the most badass thing. A space virus that corrupts people. Plus pigma's voice sounds so insanely evil. It adds to the appeal how his voice was so annoying in sf64 tool. I love it! agh
@@GeorgeMan1999 yeah, here’s a good way to summarize Star wolf: pigma was in it for the money, Andrew was a result of nepotism, Leon was in it for the kills because he’s a psychopath and wolf was a mercenary for hire
@@jejeakle Andross actually put Andrew in Star Wolf because he didn’t want to be around him. That’s…very evil and monstrous. Makes me feel sorry for Andrew, as he is nothing but devoted to Andross.
These Aparoids are totally like the Borg but they can assimilate completely anything. It would be neat if they could assimilate an entire space station like that and making it alive by giving it a face.
what they should have shown: aparoid caimen: the last line has been breached! aparoid area 6 lizard commander: these guys are crazy! dang! deploy it now! aparoid pigma appears out of nowhere: do not resist. you have been warned.
@EmperorXaozx Starfox Command is also supposed to have a whole bunch of different endings, many of which feature Crystal leaving the team. but you can get one where she and Fox get married and have a son. It sounds like a cool game, but I haven't played yet - I've also heard Command isn't supposed to be anywhere near as good as Assault and Starfox64. I just got done with Assault and was really impressed with the story. :)
@EmperorXaozx Same here, those were the only two I played, as well. But in Starfox Command (I think it's for the Wii), Peppy looks a lot older, so some time has passed. But the official storyline is that General Pepper promoted Peppy to General (even though Peppy made good on his decision to retire from Team Starfox) because Pepper was suffering from an illness. But the game doesn't give the nature of Pepper's illness, which is why I was so confused due to Pepper's Aparoid infection.
@EmperorXaozx Yeah - I had thought the Aparoids took over a person completely when they infected someone, and Pepper's picture in the game made it look like they had gotten to him. But he was still able to keep his mind, so maybe they were just in the ship? Or maybe they found a cure in the next game. I haven't played Starfox Command yet, but I read that Pepper's illness is open to interpretation - the player's never told why he's ill. Confusing, just a little. :)
Absolutely he’s a selfish bastard who sold his closest friends out to their sworn enemy, and caused one of them to perish while the other barely escaped with his life
@EmperorXaozx That's an excellent question, I was wondering that myself...of course, I'm also still wondering how General Pepper could have survived his Aparoid infection, since he supposedly is retired due to illness in the next Starfox game - Peppy takes over for Pepper as general. ???
I almost beat this game when I was a kid, but THIS. This part gave me nightmares, so we sold the game. Now I regret it, I wish I could finish this game. But I can't find a copy anywhere
Half A Walrus I agree Pigma was just hideous, looking at his infected mutilated face and hearing him speak in a plural idiosyncratic manner was just nightmarish and gut wrenching
He’s an asshole victim. While it’s a terrible fate, he had it coming. None of the other Star Wolf members would’ve messed with the Aparoids. Andrew got shot down by them early on and stayed the hell away for the remainder of the game. And the others abandoned ship when their area was under attack.
he still to this day gives me the heebie jeebies and watching this cutscene *chills* when i first fought him i was shaking man nintendo you made a boss that added the word frightening and took advantage of me being startled and shaking during the fight (not that pigma is the only frightening boss hint hint deadhand hint)
i would say that it's the majora's mask of starfox. underrated, epic, and dark more than either of the other two features. in addition, one of the best in the series, i'd say this is better than sf64 the same way mm is better than ocarina of time.

It would terrify anyone. We know people are killed in Star Fox, but this was particularly horrifying.

Rest in Peace James McCloud, you have been avenged.

"Resistance is useless." Gee, does that sound familiar?
+odonnell1218 - The Vogons.
+Haytham Connor The Borg
+Snooty Penguin - No, the Borg say "Resistance is *futile."* The Vogons say "Resistance is useless."
The original Gorgon in 64 was harder to kill, but just the fact that this is Pigma makes this one creepier.
Scariest thing in the series...
Did anyone else realize that Pigma's basically fused with the Gorgon from Star Fox 64, with the arms and the armored shell?
Yeah I did
Ok, glad I wasn't the only one.
D Beat I Realized That Too
+#Yvette Fan - Gorgon had three arms. The station Pigma fused with has six.
But yeah, he is pretty darn similar.
Doesnt matter. It is still a cool theory
Dont worry kids, Pigma is gonna make it.... As an AI living in a giant cube in the middle of space
No one wants Pigma to live! Everyone hates Pigma.
Lance Curry the guy is a greedy bastard who would put yo life on the line just to end up with a big paycheck
@@lancecurry7538 I’m sure even Andross doesn’t like him. Just saw him as useful tool. I definitely know Wolf, Leon, and Andrew didn’t like Pigma.

there are infinate possibilities as to what could exist across the vast reaches of space. None-the-less I explained why people find it scary.
RESISTANCE IS USELESS
i love that line with his new evil voice
*more evil voice
This boss is just freaky!
There's something disturbing about what becomes of Pigma here. Nonetheless, I like his synthesized Aparoid voice.
These Aparoids are totally like the Borg but they can assimilate completely anything. It would be neat if they could assimilate an entire space station like that and making it alive by giving it a face.
This was the most disgusting boss fight of my entire childhood. Even compared to ganes like Dante's Inferno, it's still scary to me.
I've played this game before, but I've never realized how disturbing the aparoids are until now.
When i was younger this used to give me nightmares. I still love this game.
what they should have shown:
aparoid caimen: the last line has been breached!
aparoid area 6 lizard commander: these guys are crazy!
dang! deploy it now!
aparoid pigma appears out of nowhere: do not resist. you have been warned.
Anyone else besides me notice Sector Y in the background?
Me
@@DantetheMoFckinBloodedge and me
Wow. Nightmare fuel thumbnail
Does anyone think this looks like the Area 6 Boss from Star Fox 64?
Kind of. Except the Area 6 boss was a living hell to deal with >:(
+Alex Grachek - The Area 6 boss was named Gorgon.
Krystal: so infection leads to this... A menace of this size.
Me: thats what I thought when I saw the tank from left 4 dead
OH GOD. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT.
Brumble Bree that’s the scariest boss in the series
jejeakle
*scariest thing
The ultimate existence.
Pigma’s battle here brings to mind the Gorgas defense satellite battle at the end of Area 6 in Star Fox 64.
And with that, James has finally been avenged.
Nintendo's version of the horror movie: The Thing XD
If "IT" had a bio-fleashy- plas-techa mug without the swine mud mug, I may have found "IT'S" android voice threating.
At start when he says pigmas ship it sounds like holy shit. I like the use of the n64 explosion sound
Pigma screamed REEEEAL good before he died
Hell, even now this thing still scares me. I still get nightmares just because of thinking of this guy.
Crept the shit out of me so bad that i felt nervous for anyone else seeing me play
This gave me nightmares as a child
Such a fantastic game
Pigma definitely deserved his fate but I still feel bad for him
I was extremely disturbed by this boss in my first fight...
@EmperorXaozx Starfox Command is also supposed to have a whole bunch of different endings, many of which feature Crystal leaving the team. but you can get one where she and Fox get married and have a son.

Please do, it's an amazing game, if you're a fan of Star Fox.
Hell, the last level is all worth it.
This reminds me of the boss from Area 6 on Star Fox 64.
"Resistance is useless" Now where have i heard that line before?
Oh, yeah and Pigma screamed reeaal loud before he died!
Wow, this is like area 6s' boss from star fox 64. it uses the exact same laser
I just realised this is the same boss as the last boss before starwolf in the hard path of star fox 64
@EmperorXaozx Same here, those were the only two I played, as well. But in Starfox Command (I think it's for the Wii), Peppy looks a lot older, so some time has passed.

But the game doesn't give the nature of Pepper's illness, which is why I was so confused due to Pepper's Aparoid infection.
What I want to know is how did he get to the machine without decompressing in space.
really creepy cutscene which also was damn good and scary made!
semi sad since i was hoping pigma might be good again but ye becomes more evil
Your headphones might be on backwards, then.
When you realize Peppy is now the last surviving member of the *original* Star Fox...
BANZAIIIIIII!!! 1:02
1:37
Peppy: Tilt your ship to slip by!
Translation: DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!!!
@juniorgeneric I didn't realize how much alike they were until the energy blast.
Another giant head. First Andross, then Andrew, now this.
i love this boss. especially when pigma "fired ma lazr"
I think Nintendo did that for fans who were fans since the beginning. taking stuff from old games, and putting it in the new ones.
This boss has somewhat a similar look to the boss of Area 6 in Starfox 64
@EmperorXaozx Yeah - I had thought the Aparoids took over a person completely when they infected someone, and Pepper's picture in the game made it look like they had gotten to him. But he was still able to keep his mind, so maybe they were just in the ship? Or maybe they found a cure in the next game. I haven't played Starfox Command yet, but I read that Pepper's illness is open to interpretation - the player's never told why he's ill. Confusing, just a little. :)
Does anyone know what the intro music is? I've been looking for it all over this site.
Oh Wow. Nice to meet you sir. Big fan of that voice of yours.
i love this boss. he's so fun.
Can we all agree Pigma deserved this
Absolutely he’s a selfish bastard who sold his closest friends out to their sworn enemy, and caused one of them to perish while the other barely escaped with his life
Nintendo: family friendly
Also Nintendo:
your headphones must've been busted
I love StarFox assault.
It's the best.
This horrified me as a child.
@EmperorXaozx That's an excellent question, I was wondering that myself...of course, I'm also still wondering how General Pepper could have survived his Aparoid infection, since he supposedly is retired due to illness in the next Starfox game - Peppy takes over for Pepper as general. ???
this boss was a remake of that boss in area 6 on n64
Lol what is it with Star Fox and fighting big ugly faces in outer space?
Exactly 😂
@RyanSellman I would have to think the Aparoids would win. I mean each of their ships is just one Aparoid while it takes like 1000 borg for 1 cube
I still play Star Fox 64, Its an ultimate classic
Pigma is also a former Star Fox member. Listen to the intro on Star Fox 64
Pigma cosplaying Giygas.
Though still nowhere near as terrifying. At least you can grasp Aparoid Pigma's true form.
Geez, this is the freakiest thing in the Star Fox series since fighting Andross's brain in SF64.
Maybe, but on the other hand I doubt that a life form like that exists or even CAN exist.
It looks like a mix of the Area 6 boss and Meteo crusher.
Pigma is a very disturbing individual.
Earthworm Jim.
I agree with you there too. Basically everyone's voice is better minus fox's.
Shoot the tentacles to open the core!
I almost beat this game when I was a kid, but THIS. This part gave me nightmares, so we sold the game. Now I regret it, I wish I could finish this game. But I can't find a copy anywhere

I have the game and god dame that scared the hell out of me
I should get this game, I'm missing out something good.
I like how I only just noticed the Sector Y reference in the background (after reading an external posted cameo information). But it's there.
I have to agree, it is kinda creepy
I feel slightly bad for Pigma. He was possessed by aparoids then blown up.
He’s an asshole victim. While it’s a terrible fate, he had it coming. None of the other Star Wolf members would’ve messed with the Aparoids. Andrew got shot down by them early on and stayed the hell away for the remainder of the game. And the others abandoned ship when their area was under attack.
Yeah, you're right there.
Only that this takes place in Sector Y
(background)
this was extremly dark compared to the other star fox games
I always thought that this game was a little mature for a T.
Batman: Wait, what's that?
0:04 Me: Pigma's ship?
Max (Sam & Max): Uh... boss...?
Me: (Sees Pigma being corrupted) (0:09) Pigma!
Pigma Dengar: (Laughing) Oh, incredible! Ah, you must join us!
'Kinda creepy' doesn't even BEGIN to describe how messed up this is
he still to this day gives me the heebie jeebies and watching this cutscene *chills* when i first fought him i was shaking man nintendo you made a boss that added the word frightening and took advantage of me being startled and shaking during the fight
(not that pigma is the only frightening boss hint hint deadhand hint)
It sounds like he says "too bad you must join us"
This scared for days when I was a kid.
I like the intro when pigma fuses with the base
i would say that it's the majora's mask of starfox. underrated, epic, and dark more than either of the other two features. in addition, one of the best in the series, i'd say this is better than sf64 the same way mm is better than ocarina of time.
Majora's Mask? Aparoid Pigma is the *Giygas* of Star Fox.
This shoulda been its own series n has assault 2 made
Pigma survived this attack and appears in the form as a rubix cube in Star Fox Command provong that what doesn't kill does indeed make you stranger.
