soooo, I was playing starfox 64 today thinking I was a bad ass with my 1435 score and went on youtube to see who else hates the 2nd to last boss. then I find this video. so I busted out my notepad. Geeze, I had no idea 1/2 of that was possible. very entertaining too. playing with the song by shooting blasters. lol
I always like to see others play the same game and see their outcome. My personal high score was 1570, no cheats just rapidly pressing the A button and taking out as many as I can. Even I can't top that.
Alex Valles ik like is fox the only one who needs to help them like it’s a team they are all supposed to help but no fox is the only one who’s gonna save them and when he has people behind him well who cares he can handle it it kinda annoys me like if falco is in trouble one time why can’t peppy or slippy help for once
I didn't like Mario 64 all that much. Majora's Mask was the best N64 game in my opinion, but Starfox is a close second. It's the replayability factor, it really is.
As an 11 year old kid I used to play and replay this game when it first came out for hours upon hours honing my fast twitch flying/shooting/lock-on timing, analyzing the enemy ship flight paths for maximum group shots and trying to discover the most efficient route in order to get as many hits as possible. Back then there was barely an Internet and no way of comparing scores/strategies with others so despite my best effort, I never even discovered the trick of non-lock on blasts that net the extra +1's etc so I never hit scores too far above 2k. I'd like to think I would have been pretty competitive though considering how much time I dedicated to this very task accumulating hits. I still remember the first time I heard the "whaaaat?" I thought for sure it was a sorta Easter Egg or something. I really wish I had known the trick back then but oh well. Maybe someday I'll be able to spend countless hours going after a high score again. Great nostalgic video!
What I think is stupid is that I saved the galaxy from Andross, killed countless enemies, risked my life hundreds of times and they only pay you several thousand dollars? WTF?!?!
I thought I had a pretty good point run (I don't do the tricks with charge shot on non enemies) but this is just insane. You hit perfect marks pretty much every shot, perfect optimization. You're a god
This was the one game I was really good at. I'm sure the best way for a big score was through the asteroid field on the second level then through the warp gates as they appeared. It would then take you to an extra sub level, that allowed you to switch routes afterwards, choosing all the highest scoring levels along the way. It was about 20 years ago though. Not seen anybody go that way on any run-throughs I've seen though.
+Keith Samuels The path you're thinking about was CO-ME-KA-SX-MA-A6-VE, which is the 2nd best route for points. It used to be the best route, but ever since there were new tricks found in Aquas, the best route for a high score is the one taken in this video.
Yes I admit I only watched the first level and flicked the rest. I know the first level so well though I was surprised a few places you hit multiple times, and got multiple plus hit points in the same spot. Not seen that before and played that level thousands of times back in the day. Just goes to show, with great games there is always something new to learn.
I've never played the N64 version, but I have the 3DS version. Whenever I see the original's levels, I think: “How do you even see? Everything's so dark.”
I love the quality of this video. Other videos of this game from other users have the mouths either open but never move, or they do at and freeze randomly XD
Hey Zallard, I'm not sure if you still care about Star Fox 64 score runs, but where do you get all of this information for getting high scores? I know you described some of it at the GDQ you attended, but it would be nice to have an in-depth guide somewhere. I searched but couldn't find anything on the internet that was in english.
I always though I was good in this game. I did 2018 playing in Corneria, Meteor, Katina, Setox X, Mcbeth, Setor 6 and Venon and then I saw this guy going to Setor Y and then I was like WTF... who can he does that in this planet? All my knowldge as you fall down today. Interisting video and it is so good to have youtube nowadays and see great players like this showing how they play.
I watched everything and I got really impressed how fast you could be. I'm a huuuuge fan of Star Fox, and I've been playing this game since I was a little child. :) I just wanted to say congratulations. P.S.: I even haven't gotten tired of watching for 1 hour without stopping.
Props on the barrel roll before the two robots where the Laser and Bomb are...I usually don't need the laser at that point, but it's a killer show off move...bought this game day one, and never tried that...
That's why I hate doing the Katina level in Expert mode, because I can never get through that one without crashing into the fighters (good guys or bad guys) and losing my wings while trying to shoot as many bad guys as possible.
Anthony Gordon I always thought Slippy was a girl when I was a kid, until I read something that said otherwise. I still refer to Slippy as she/her/hers.
You guys are just hateful. I prefer Slippy there, because I like knowing how much health the bosses have. And the Blue-Marine and Landmaster wouldn't exist if not for his expertise!
I remember massive resets on this game as a child when I was trying to get my name in Nintendo Power for high score. Had a 1.0 version of the cart with the score bug and was heartbroken the first time I broke 512 on Area 6 only to realize it took 256 points off my final score. Ended up in the magazine with a 2210 high score going the 'old' fast way: corneria, meteo, katina, x, macbeth, area 6, venom. With N64 switch xpac, I'm going to have to grind the hard route now and see if i can come close.
I remember my father and I trading high scores back and forth when I was about 9-10 years old. He used to take the ME route since he was getting scores in the 300s in there while I was taking this route because I didn't want to miss out on Zoness. Also I sucked balls in Meteo. I had the highest score before my cartridge erased itself, pretty sure we were both getting close to 2000. This brings back memories...
They simply don't want to be part of the Cornerian Air Force possibly under command of a Cornerian General. That's what essentially makes them a mercenary group. But more importantly, that's what makes them Star Fox.
The solution to getting more hits on Macbeth is to keep ramming into things? Good grief, I've only managed to get as far as 2111 hits. But then, mine doesn't go beyond 511 when I've made a load of hits on Area 6, even before dealing with the boss.
My personal best is 2312 CO-ME-KA-SX-MA-A6-VE2 My game also locks at 511 on Area 6 and my average is usually 600 on emulator. I could have got my first 2400 there...
If this is the N64 game, what version of the cartridge are you using? Have you ever played the Wii VC version? I've noticed some enemies on Wii VC in SX crash into each other where they don't on the N64 version, among other issues (orbiting charge shots being another, more prominent one).
man, this is really great work^^ today I barely got all medals on hard difficulty together with a friend. but that's nothing compared to this great skill^^ amazing :)
Nice video, have to say. enjoyed area 6 the most however (but that is my fav level), could cap the total on the scorecounter almost every attempt, but then i was using the pal version which caps at 511 D:
+The Epic Fudge My last 20 videos or so have been Star Fox Zero stuff, so yep, haha. I haven't given arcade mode a run yet since I'm still trying to figure out strategies & determining which route gives the most amount of points. Whenever I do that, then I'll probably upload an arcade mode score run.
when i broke 2000 the first time i figured that was that.... really going for it having learned most the enemies spawns n stuff... getting careful charge blasts when possible because hit+1 on 1 enemy and on 2 enemies is still just 2 points , rather than hit+2 still great times

Next to Super Mario 64, This is the best Nintendo 64 game of all time
Mario was great, but to me, Starfox 64 is the best N64 game for sure...possibly my favorite game on any system. The replay value is just unparalleled.
Dean Rodman Same here. Very awesome and classic game. Thanks for agreeing.
I didn't like Mario 64 all that much. Majora's Mask was the best N64 game in my opinion, but Starfox is a close second. It's the replayability factor, it really is.
This and Goldeneye 007 were my guilty pleasures... okay... and Banjo Kazooie
I actually didnt like super mario 64 cuz all the levls have multiple stars and the are hard GO AWAY MARIO!!!!
Wow freaking awesome good stuff dude!! Much respect! Star Fox 64 one of my favorites.
Back in Time, i´ve struggeled so hard to reach the 150 on Corneria and i´ve never got the medal there and now i see this :D
My favorite game and ending with Fox, Falco,Peppy and Slippy running toward their Arwings when Great Fox appeared.

Dude, you are a pro at this! Thanks for the video. This is an inspiration.
Amazing playthrough! Just tell me one thin, though: how do you do an angled somersault like the one at 6:46-6:49?
Down and C I think.
It's something like that
Down and C, plus you also have to move the left joystick down & to the right.
What I think is stupid is that I saved the galaxy from Andross, killed countless enemies, risked my life hundreds of times and they only pay you several thousand dollars? WTF?!?!
PlayDoctor I think the main point in this mission for Fox was to avenge his father
Maybe this takes place a long time ago when thousands of dollars was the equivalent of millions today.
Binjo Beer Ltd. Based on Gen Pepper's reaction to your invoice I'd say you're right.
They do have to rebuild the you know
WTF O_O HOLY SHIT!! This makes my high score of 1579 look like NOTHING!! Props to you sir!
It's incredible to think that this is not even close to the current highest score
317 on Aquos, geez . . . :P
Fun stuff, was great to watch
I got a score of 2019 today...
It took a looong time..

When are we ever gonna get a 3ds score run from you Zallard? :D
The solution to getting more hits on Macbeth is to keep ramming into things?
Good grief, I've only managed to get as far as 2111 hits. But then, mine doesn't go beyond 511 when I've made a load of hits on Area 6, even before dealing with the boss.
That's a thing that happens only in the 1.1 version of Star Fox 64 sadly, after 511 hits, you can't gain any more at face value.
My personal best is 2312
CO-ME-KA-SX-MA-A6-VE2
My game also locks at 511 on Area 6 and my average is usually 600 on emulator. I could have got my first 2400 there...
If this is the N64 game, what version of the cartridge are you using? Have you ever played the Wii VC version? I've noticed some enemies on Wii VC in SX crash into each other where they don't on the N64 version, among other issues (orbiting charge shots being another, more prominent one).
During the whole run, I kept thinking, "WHAT ARE YOU, CASUAL??"
42:38 That’s kind of a hard Mayday for Peppy and he barely says “Thanks, Fox” on Area 6.
54:41 - I just SAW THAT! How to ignore it? ^^;;;
Its over 9000!
I picked up a copy of the game and the high score is above the 3000. That has to be through cheating right?
It's possible to get 3,041. Anything after that is uncharted territory.

:DDDD classic game right here man , ohhh how I miss this game sooo much ....
I never thought of using charging bombs that often
Impressive run. I got somewhere a long time ago from 1,800-2,000 hits. I can only imagine the practice it must have taken to do all this.
Falco's my favourite character in the series
My second Favourite is Wolf
Does hitting enemies with your Arwing/Landmaster/Blue Marine count for points?
Dude you are awesome at this game you rock zallard1
maldita sea que hermoso juego gracias enserio mil gracias a este juego me hace acordar mi infancia
I played this game when I was a kid but only now do I realize how short the campaign is. It felt like much longer back in the day.
Does the brightness depend on the tv it's being played on at times? Cuz sometimes I see the screen to be much darker.
Emulators make the game a whole lot darker. Along with some polygon errors.
Nice video, have to say. enjoyed area 6 the most however (but that is my fav level), could cap the total on the scorecounter almost every attempt, but then i was using the pal version which caps at 511 D:

That's fair enough, looking forward to that.
Falco: CRUD! We were so close to 2600!
shit bruh, you're really good with the charged blasts
Right I wish I was that good
My dad has a perfect game, no teammates dead, gold medals on every planet, every secret planet, and 3481 hits
Holy shit! You are amazing!!!!! How do you shoot the big ball lasers so fast?
when i broke 2000 the first time i figured that was that....
really going for it having learned most the enemies spawns n stuff... getting careful charge blasts when possible
because hit+1 on 1 enemy and on 2 enemies is still just 2 points , rather than hit+2
still great times
@zallard1 how do you keep doing that non-stop laser blast? I've tried but it won't work😖?
You have to like quickly hold/spam the laser button
amazing bro this makes me wonna go try and get a higher score using the techniques you use
Do the tricks at Aquas work on the 3DS version?
You have your brightness set pretty high. Not that its a bad thing, I have to wonder why the game is so dark by default, or at least when emulated.
34:41 I don't remember Slippy being chased by enemies in Macbeth. Just only Falco.
Incredibly played well done
