Mad, mad, MAD props to Wolf's Team. The flew right into the Aparoid Planet without even knowing if Star Fox Team was gonna make it through to the end. They had no plan, no secret weapon, and no military union but still decided to pull up to take the fight to the Aparoids. I know it doesn't *actually* matter to the gameplay that they're here, but contextually? If Wolf and his team didn't have the *HEAVIEST* brass balls in the galaxy Fox wouldn't have been able to destroy the Aparoids for good. Absolutely MAJOR respects to them.
Agreed. Wolf is a pretty badass leader. He has his differences with Fox, and there's def some bad blood in the past. But Wolf had the class to put that shit aside and help Fox and Co 💪🔥
"Screw the odds, I'm doing what's right." -Wolf approximately 5 seconds before throwing himself into the depths of the fiercest enemy in series history's back lines to do the coolest shit ever
Shortest? The entire series is short. I supposed you mean to like 100% and see everything the game has to offer, but even then, the original Star Fox, 64, and Zero aren't much longer if they are. The routes take like 20-30 mins max to fully complete
64 is the shortest. Assault only has 10 levels, but many of them are multi-stage (Arwing, Landmaster, on foot, standing on the Arwing doing a "turret" sequence). It's at least twice as long as the FULL game of 64. Adventures is far and away the longest but it's a whole other animal as well.
Can we just take one moment to recognize how badass and really menacing and serious the aparoids were, and the Queen? Just take a look at this chapter. They meant shit. The Aparoids were simply a great enemy. Even better than Andross who almost has been in every Star Fox game ever..
Pretty much yeah, they were a pretty good enemy, heck they made mass genocide heck they even roboticized people to join their army, heck even try to kill General pepper
So dangerous that even Star Wolf made a truce with Star Fox to bring them down. I'm surprised that the dregs from the Sargasso Space Colony didn't help out.
The dialogue is adorably cheesy and brings back a lot of fond memories, but "This is your final mission." at the end of the mission briefing sends a genuine shiver down my spine. I will always love this game.
dij468 james : never give up trust your instinct peppy :never give up trust your instinct is peppy trying to impersonate james to convince fox that his father is still alive????
This mission hits the heart so hard. Peppy's sacrifice was so incredible. In all honesty, I think that would have been the best way for him to go. And just imagine if, at the end--just like at the end of 64--you have to escape the planet as it's exploding, and Peppy's ghost guided you out of the planet one final time. "Never give up, trust your instincts."
I got goosebumps when Star Fox and Star Wolf teamed up and entered the core tunnel! This also one of my favorite levels in the star Fox franchise!! It reminded me of the Andross tunnel if where longer and was fully booby trapped! And the music and tension was just icing on the cake!!
You have to be born with a soul? Then suddenly Rob starts questioning his existence and ask if he has a soul. That's some Mass Effect shit right there.
Assault has some of the most challenging boss fights in the franchise and is just reason why I love it. I have never attempted mission 10 on gold difficulty because I'm to afraid to try, Assault needs more love from the fan base. Assault forever! :)
+Javier Albadalejo Actually, this game got fairly positive reviews and many see it as the second or third best of the series. You can see how well-regarded this game is by the inclusion of elements of it in SSBB and SSB4, from the music to Wolf's design.
Remember, wolf didn’t do to save Fox, he did it because no one tans Fox’s hide but wolf only. But he knows as well as Fox, there are bigger things to worry about than there rivalry
A short game but a brilliant one. Assault is my favourite because it actually tried to do a different story rather than just reusing 64s plot with andross over and over again.
"funny" thing is, in the original Snes release of StarFox, each of the other pilots you lost in the game were dead. They didn't just return to the main ship to repair their broken down ships, they were dead-dead. The reason it's funny is that it was Starfox 64 that introduces the "you're fellow pilots don't die" point.
This game is so good I feel like this is the true ending to the Starfox franchise. Let's look at it this way: Andross was already dead for that time, and we never knew if Starwolf and General Pepper really survived the Aparoid invasion which means that the whole Starwolf team and Pepper are actually dead and gave their lives to save the Starfox team and everyone in the galaxy. And with that it concludes but also starts a new beginning for almost the Starfox team. Best conclusion ever
aderose james : never give up trust your instinct peppy :never give up trust your instinct is peppy trying to impersonate james to convince fox that his father is still alive????
replayed it recently after not playing it for years. I honestly liked the variety. I know the foot/tank missions are rough but I love the idea. Like when Fox has to leave the base and hops in the arwing to confront wolf. stuff like that. Imagine if platinum games originally made this or remastered this. Would be epic.
+Rynnec Zuhac Can I ask, what was so bad about Command? Sure, it has multiple endings, some of which are just terrible. But other than that, I don't think it's that bad of a game.
The terribad soap opera love triangle bullshit with Krystal, the character design and personality changes, being forced to use stylus controls (like a precursor to the main complaint with Zero), and just the general fan fic-y nature of the story. As a game it was a decent, if repetitive, entry, but the story was just garbage.
+Rynnec Zuhac Or better, just do a sequel to Zero that uses elements of Assault and just skips Adventures (not because of hatred for Krystal or Sauria, just because Adventures never belonged and a fresh continuity is a good chance to make this right).
If they are really going with this new cannon, they'll probably keep a couple of things from Adventures. Since Slippy mentioned Sauria in the anime short, they'll most likely keep Krystal. just don't make the next game a Zelda clone.
Seeing Peppy like that after the first 3 games, and seeing the iconic Great Fox in them too, even with all the not-canon fights that it's seen in Smash, really brings a tear to my eye.
Did anyone else always hate how INCREDIBLY SLOW the Arwing flies during gameplay in Star Fox Assualt? All that flashy, cutting edge design and those futuristic sound-effects for a space jet that flies about as fast as a golf cart.
MyTh_DeRp The Arwings never come close to the speeds of real-world fighter jets during gameplay (because that would be unplayable), but the speeds seen were always at least faster than the crawling pace seen in Assault. If you play the original Star Fox at a faster frame rate, you're going surprisingly fast. Star Fox Zero has the Arwings going reasonably fast as well, with a plentiful boost meter to boot. Sector Omega from SF0 is easily the fastest flying gameplay in the entire series, and is by no means "slow." Go check out a vid or play it!
Sk3l3br0 It's not the space levels I'm talking about. Those were actually the ones where I didn't feel speed was as much of an issue, since I didn't have objects nearby to accurately gauge my speed. It was always the non-space levels, in which I could clearly see how slow I was going, that I felt it was an issue. And yes, I boosted as much as possible and still felt like I was out for an afternoon stroll. It was pathetic.
I really like Peppy, I do.... I just hate when a sacrifice is undermined like that with an "No, they made out okay, tricked you!" Of course I wasn't such a storytelling snob at that age, lol
Given how the Queen was trying to destroy all he held dear, had used General Pepper against him, seemingly killed Peppy and Rob and had tried to mess with his mind through doing impersonations of people he knew, I don't blame Fox for saying that. In his place, I'd have said "Here I come you bitch! You've tried to destroy all that I hold dear so now I'm going to send you straight to Hell! Give my regards to Andross after you die!!".
This game is so fanservicey. Everything 12 year old me wanted to happen in this game happened. It’s so campy looking back as an adult, but it’s still pretty charming.
Dang I forgot how intense reaching the Aparoid Queen and fighting it was! Really makes that orchestrated Mission accomplished orchestra during the end credits feel very rewarding.
Just started playing this game again this year. Controls are a little more slippery than I remember, but there's a reason this is one of my favorite games ever
every time ya worked with Wolf's team was epic to me, only when a cataclysmic existence ending entity is involved will rivals or hated enemies work together yet somehow have perfect unison in the fight against said enemy solely because they know each other so well from years of fighting
Those first few minutes were powerful... If they ever do make a Star Fox movie (thanks to Mario movie's recent success), I hope they take notes from this.
No, he's dead. Died at the end of Starfox Adventures once and for all. The only thing left of him were some of his left over mercenaries that Andrew Oikonny took command of at the beginning of this game, and if you wanna count Starfox Command a couple of left over creations on Titania.
@@sonicgen20 It does irk me we never seemed to get a REAL sequel after Assault. Command was just awfully written and every game after that was just a remake. But if we do get an actual sequel Andross needs to STAY dead and not become yet another cliche undying Nintendo villan. Krystal and Fox also need a more....in depth romance than what we got. Command wanted to just butcher that completely. Nintendo needs to stop bastardising the IP!
@@DAN007thefoxx1 Well, I guess in a way we can count our blessing as Assault being to this day the true canon ending to the original Starfox storyline. Commands multiple endings leaves it's own state of canon questionable at best.
I remember this game fondly, except for a few missions that I got lost on lol. But this level.. it scared me so much as a kid, and nothing's quite made me feel that way ever since.
I wish StarFox Zero carried on as a sequel of this game instead being yet another remake/reboot of StarFox on SNES. Having Krystal on the team and Panther on Star Wolf's team would of been awesome, but no doubt they're both on the discard pile now.
+Made In Heaven Yeah, I like Peppy, but I would have preferred Krystal if not for the Barrel Roll level where you play as Peppy. I like Panther a lot, think Andrew is one of the most annoying villains in video games(almost as annoying as Slippy even) and hate Pigma with a burning passion.
+MLGWolf69 Hating Pigma is the point. That's why I like him so much. And I don't know, I prefer him when he is on Wolf's team. Honestly, I don't like the noble demon type of character they tried to build for Assault. Yes, his voice and design was improved a lot, and he is very awesome, but there was no need to water down Wolf's villainy.
For me it's the second, Star Fox 64 is simple and fun with a easy to understand yet good plot, but Assault has more depth in the Story and more meaningful cutscenes.
@@Amquacktador It's implied that Star Wofl helped Star Fox for motives beyond just Wolf wanting to be the one that does in Fox, as shown through Panther and Leon's sarcastic reply and scoff respectively after he reveals his supposed motive for saving Fox.
I may or may not be in the minority who actually very much so enjoyed the fact that the game had all 3 segments in the game. Playing in just the Arwing is so boring. StarFox 64 3d died really quick for me really fast. I loved the onfoot segments. And playing multiplayer was the most fun I've had. Teaming up with my bro, hopping on the arm of his arwing and destroying the competition with guns was by far the best. I really hope the next one isn't just vehicles, or I will be extremely disappointed. I'll still get it, but it just won't be as good.
+THEGALLADEOVERLORD (NOT MY MAIN ACCOUNT) Andross actually gave me nightmares as a kid. Though I have to admit that the Aparoids are arguably better villains.
“Leon! Don’t try sneaking up behind me” “Hehehe, doing your best not to show any weak points, eh?” That’s the second time it’s been hinted that Leon is gay
james : never give up trust your instinct peppy :never give up trust your instinct is peppy trying to impersonate james to convince fox that his father is still alive????
After the war against the Aparoids... Slippy: I hope we have insurance for the Great Fox. She was a tough cookie girl. Fox: Yeah, I'm gonna miss the Captain's Chair of the Great Fox. Krystal: What matters is we're still alive. Falco: Hope you know some good ship mechanics back on Corneria, Fox. Fox: I might know someone. And we'll possibly getting our Great Fox mk 2, we'll find a good vacation spot.
It will be a long time and or ALOT of money before that can happen. The original Great Fox required an 80 YEAR LOAN. But James died long before he could pay it all off. So Fox took the helm and only JUST after Adventures could he pay off the rest of the loan along with a complete overhaul of the vessel. It would be like Shepard in Mass Effect getting an SR3 Normandy after Cerberus just built the SR2.
Man if only the whole game were as awesome as this level was, it'd be remembered much more fondly. Honestly though, Assault took itself way too seriously. Starfox is best when it's super campy.
Mad, mad, MAD props to Wolf's Team.
The flew right into the Aparoid Planet without even knowing if Star Fox Team was gonna make it through to the end. They had no plan, no secret weapon, and no military union but still decided to pull up to take the fight to the Aparoids.

Starfox 1 and 2 felt shorter... while Assault only have 1 singular route it felt long enough.
COMPLETELY agree
I don't care what anyone says. This game is awesome and gives me so many memories. Long live Star Fox!
They can shit on this game all they want. This is now and will always be my favorite Star Fox game.
TheHero136 the only bad thing was Leon’s voice
TheHero136 yet there are still a lot of questions
This game have the best vs mode in any starfox game.
Long live brother
Can we just take one moment to recognize how badass and really menacing and serious the aparoids were, and the Queen? Just take a look at this chapter. They meant shit. The Aparoids were simply a great enemy. Even better than Andross who almost has been in every Star Fox game ever..

@@stanmarsh9656 Pigma is the reason why they have a rivalry
@@SailorMoonFriends actually Star fox and Star wolf have had a rivalry since James McCloud. Pigma is the source yes
Plus the Aparoids were a huge threat to the Lylat System. Wish that the remnants of Andross’ empire helped in the war against the Aparoids.
The Aparoid Queen is disturbing...
AveryGamerDude it sure is
It is, but they're just a bunch of alien robotic bugs
Andross is disturbing, too.
Next to Andross and Pigma, the Aparoid Queen is possibly the most evil character in the franchise!
A short game but a brilliant one. Assault is my favourite because it actually tried to do a different story rather than just reusing 64s plot with andross over and over again.
A way of fleshing out the universe as well, different star systems, creatures etc
If this weren't a kids game, I don't think that Peppy, General Pepper, or Wolf's team would have survived. Would have left on a more serious note.

Andross is a good boss, but it is nice with a new foe once in a while. :)
What they REALLY need is to make a spinoff where you play as Wolf.
Yeah, it's pretty tiring to have only Andross to fight, glad they changed it up here.
Not even sequels, Star Fox 64 remakes and timeline resets (Star Fox Zero).
To be honest this should have been the series finale of the Star Fox games.

I never beat the Aparoid Queen because my game ALWAYS crashed halfway through the first state. I had no idea there was a second fight
Dfault This Mission is much harder than the hard path to Andross in StarFox64 but when I finished it succesfully I was more than happy ^^
64 is harder than 3ds on 64 as I did two forms of it as 64 version mode andross brain has way more hp and way too much DMG and you must not get hit

I did, playing through it again as we speak
this game was such a fever dream, this game was so dark compared to everything else in the star fox franchise lmao
Going from adventures to this just feels so good, i hope the next game is like this, maybe without the on foot segments if they can't do it right

+Made In Heaven Yeah, I like Peppy, but I would have preferred Krystal if not for the Barrel Roll level where you play as Peppy. I like Panther a lot, think Andrew is one of the most annoying villains in video games(almost as annoying as Slippy even) and hate Pigma with a burning passion.
+MLGWolf69 Hating Pigma is the point. That's why I like him so much. And I don't know, I prefer him when he is on Wolf's team. Honestly, I don't like the noble demon type of character they tried to build for Assault. Yes, his voice and design was improved a lot, and he is very awesome, but there was no need to water down Wolf's villainy.
Quq Balam I feel what they did in Assault to Wolf made him feel much more realistic and likeable. In 64, he just felt like a weak James Bond villain.
The reunion with Star Wolf was EPIC
14:25 you let Falco die!
Where’s the runaway guys when they say STOP SHOOTING FALCO!!
Oh Mario & Zelda.. Star Fox has an orchestra for the music.
Lore of Star Fox: Assault - Mission 10 - Homeworld Core - The Final Battle momentum 100
I'll miss this Great Fox though, such a kickass look, why'd she have to go so quick? :'(
I know. I really how we get another version of this Great Fox with a Similar design.
I'm shocked the queen didn't use a memory of Andross on them either.
Dahrinikis would’ve been cool tbh
If Oikenny was infected by the aparoids, she would have probably imitated him
I like that there's a brief paragraph explaining what happened to the levels after the Aparoids were defeated.
That moment when the great fox tears through that sheild
The Aparoid Queen gave me the willies when I was a kid, and here it is still giving me the willies at 22
Fox: HERE I COME, YOU EVIL SPACE HAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to see this remastered on the Switch
I wish platinum could remaster or remake it.
Peppey's Ship is at the Docking Bay
+Vincent Holmes Peppy's in the big docking bay in the sky. :(
Then the docking bay gets F**king destroyed.
Best Star Fox game to date imo.
Alex Reddington high five
Daniel Easyrhino
*high five*
For me it's the second, Star Fox 64 is simple and fun with a easy to understand yet good plot, but Assault has more depth in the Story and more meaningful cutscenes.
64 had more routes and more to do. the missions were better
and th edreaded ground missions runin the game
I love the character development of Star Wolf's team in this game...
And then Star Fox Command ruined it
No?
How? Star Wolf in Command is badass.
@@Amquacktador
It's implied that Star Wofl helped Star Fox for motives beyond just Wolf wanting to be the one that does in Fox, as shown through Panther and Leon's sarcastic reply and scoff respectively after he reveals his supposed motive for saving Fox.
Anyone else noticed the gold bubbles that the queen releases are just like the ones that Andross would release in his final form?
The fall of Great Fox D:
I may or may not be in the minority who actually very much so enjoyed the fact that the game had all 3 segments in the game. Playing in just the Arwing is so boring. StarFox 64 3d died really quick for me really fast.
I loved the onfoot segments. And playing multiplayer was the most fun I've had.
Teaming up with my bro, hopping on the arm of his arwing and destroying the competition with guns was by far the best.
I really hope the next one isn't just vehicles, or I will be extremely disappointed. I'll still get it, but it just won't be as good.
The Boise Police Department officers are on their missions together as a team to support the Boise Police Department
Brilliant game.
*_THANKS FOR LENDING ME A HAND BACK THERE_*
There's something really Xenosaga about the Queen's room
The game where Peppy became a fucking legend
I miss this game
Thanks for the videos. I really liked the game and would like the
Nintendo looked again Star Fox series!Someday...
Is it bad that I like this battle a lot better than Andross's? I also like SFAs better than SF64.
+THEGALLADEOVERLORD (NOT MY MAIN ACCOUNT) Andross actually gave me nightmares as a kid. Though I have to admit that the Aparoids are arguably better villains.
darn it PEPPY AND WOLF'S TEAM! YOU ALMOST GOT ME SCARDED! DONT DO THAT AGAIN!
“Leon! Don’t try sneaking up behind me”
“Hehehe, doing your best not to show any weak points, eh?”
That’s the second time it’s been hinted that Leon is gay
How do I share people's comments?
9:40 Me:Remember what wolf said
james : never give up trust your instinct
peppy :never give up trust your instinct
is peppy trying to impersonate james to convince fox that his father is still alive????
The music in the tunnel is some of the best in a Star Fox game.
After the war against the Aparoids...
Slippy: I hope we have insurance for the Great Fox. She was a tough cookie girl.
Fox: Yeah, I'm gonna miss the Captain's Chair of the Great Fox.
Krystal: What matters is we're still alive.
Falco: Hope you know some good ship mechanics back on Corneria, Fox.
Fox: I might know someone. And we'll possibly getting our Great Fox mk 2, we'll find a good vacation spot.
It will be a long time and or ALOT of money before that can happen. The original Great Fox required an 80 YEAR LOAN. But James died long before he could pay it all off. So Fox took the helm and only JUST after Adventures could he pay off the rest of the loan along with a complete overhaul of the vessel. It would be like Shepard in Mass Effect getting an SR3 Normandy after Cerberus just built the SR2.
And that walking stick, Krystal's staff I hope she kept it with her... Otherwise, it would take miracles and materials to restore.
23:01 What's up, Peppy 😎
Remember your friend’s advice! 9:40
I beat this level on Gold. It's really easy, but your evasive moves must be on point.
+Jacob Johnson The real enemy here is your evasive moves xD
The real enemy is the real estate. Fucking tunnels.
True
Peppy survived by DOING A BARREL ROLL!
I remember breaking my controller to the wall on this level lol still love this beauty
Ahh the memories.... I spent probably 160 hours playing this game.
As I look back at this video. It’s amazing to see how much, graphics have changed.
Man if only the whole game were as awesome as this level was, it'd be remembered much more fondly.
Honestly though, Assault took itself way too seriously. Starfox is best when it's super campy.
23:47 It is an honour Fox McCloud, You’re father would be proud of you.
SLIPPY SAYING SOMEONE TO SHUT UP? NO WAY I CANT BELIEVE HIM!
