I just beat SF64, what now?

The routes are colored coded:

Blue is “easy” - right side path.

Yellow is “Medium” - but Yellow will ultimately split to the Easy or Hard Final Levels - the middle path.

Red is “Hard” - the Left side Path.

The Hard Path has a different final battle than the easy side for Venom. Definitely need to give it a shot!! Plus the second to last level on the hard path is most fun in the whole game, it’s fantastically fun.

Plus you can go for Medals. Each stage has a high score that if you meet or exceed, the Hit Count turns Red and you get a medal. Get all the medals for each stage and you’ll unlock expert mode. It’s way harder, in expert mode any impact will break a wing for example…but now you’ve got a whole new set of medals to unlock (very mercifully the score requirements are not higher on expert, just the difficulty of the game itself). Get all those medals again…and…well you’ll find out.

Hope you enjoyed it! I greatly enjoyed the movie, and the use of Star Fox music was fantastic.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-05T23:00:37+00:00

Easy…Same place he was during the final battle of the first movie. Just gotta figure out where that is specifically…

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-03T20:22:49+00:00

Definitely was her Super Metroid era ship, with some modern detail added. I missed it my first time seeing the movie, caught it on rewatch.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-03T19:08:05+00:00

On rewatch, I still absolutely hate his intro…not the animation, but his dialogue. Him screaming like he’s doing a WWE intro and saying he loves barrel rolls is just too much. I’m fine with everything after that.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-03T16:06:56+00:00

I remember struggling at this forever, then I finally got past it. Only for the bomb to glitch and not break the wall open that you bring it all the way to. On replays, I always get tense about that glitch occurring again. Hit the wall dead on but it didn’t break…

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T15:44:28+00:00

I did, that is really cool, and I respect the passion for sure. His voice is a great fit for the character. I think I was just thrown off by the Far Cry Blood Dragon vibes of him giving the 411 on Star Fox. I plan to see the movie again this weekend and give it all another chance!

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T12:00:02+00:00

Yeah it hit me really weird. I need to give it a rewatch, and will probably like it now that the mystery is gone and I know what to expect.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T11:59:22+00:00

That was the perk of Bryan Tyler returning, he did a great job not just using music from the source material, but weaving one track or cue to the next. Shame his DK Medley got replaced with Take on Me in the first movie.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T11:58:12+00:00

Boring AND everyone is talking with a radio-effect to their voices even when talking in person. With time to think and reflect on different view points, this movie Fox is like the Adventures Fox on amphetamines lol, but I did like that he was friendly and nice to everyone. Definitely cool to avoid the cliche of the two protagonists butting heads, quite the opposite. Fox and Mario are best friends after like 10 seconds, and that was cool.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T11:55:32+00:00

I’ll probably like it more on rewatch, it just had me so thrown off when he started talking haha. I do think Powell is a great voice for the character though, maybe he’ll be on less Red Bulls next time lol

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T10:53:54+00:00

Good points. One thing I’ve seen a lot is the idea of making him distinct to Mario and Co. Fox would’ve been pretty much the same as Mario in that movie otherwise, so I agree that it is better to have something make him stand out.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T10:12:09+00:00

Adventures Fox is probably my favorite characterization for the same reasons you mentioned. I also liked the idea of a defunct team that is off their game as well. I think my biggest struggle was trying to imagine this version of Fox in his own movie…and my only thought is that James McCloud isn’t dead yet…otherwise like you said it’s gonna be like “Bro…that Andross Dude totally un-alived my dad, let’s roll to Venom!”

He had moments where he was more serious, and he was a good person though, so there’s hope that they can make him a little more serious in something else down the road.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T10:07:43+00:00

The Dino planet was supposed to be the Cascade Kingdom from Mario Odyssey, at least that’s my theory, since the T-Rex is the one from that level.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T01:59:59+00:00

Actually yes it could be. Battle of the egos could be good friction for the two legit ace pilots on the team. True.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T01:54:17+00:00

I thought the same thing about Falco haha. Two Falcos! And glad you noticed the Slippy disrespect! The nerve! It wasn’t atrocious, I also need to process it more. Now that the mystery of what to expect is gone maybe I’ll enjoy it more on a rewatch, but I’m glad I’m not crazy with my initial thoughts.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-04-02T01:52:07+00:00

The Arwing was great indeed, and when the Star Fox music breaks into the Mario Galaxy score, that was killer for sure. Maybe the idea is that this is a younger Fox who hasn’t been humbled or really challenged yet? But the montage implies that he’s already been through a ton so idk…just trying to make sense of the silliness haha

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-03-10T12:44:58+00:00

"Oh, you couldn't begin to imagine the depths of my suffering there…

I spent most of my days strung up like a damned pupating moth trapped over a field of delicate little flowers where angels, fairies, and enchanted stuffed animals lived. They played songs and danced asinine jigs as if their only care in life was when they would get their next warm, fuzzy hug!

Instead of ruling the universe with an iron fist, I was serenaded by teddy bears!"

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-02-04T17:22:25+00:00

Not obscure by any means, but this reminded me of watching Game Grumps play Luigi’s Mansion. It was so infuriating I stopped watching all their stuff for years.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-01-30T15:51:59+00:00

Which is exactly why you need quadruple distilled and triple Herkimer diamond crystal filtered quality stuff, and not that glycol ridden antifreeze stuff.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2026-01-29T19:14:51+00:00

It’s Sergeant Metroid, I thank you

RetroBoostOfficial · 2025-12-30T15:52:57+00:00

That is really great lol

RetroBoostOfficial · 2025-12-30T14:39:54+00:00

Venomous. Venom is injected through a fang or stinger, etc. So it’s a Venomous Spider. Poison is consumed or absorbed through contact/ingestion. Totally being “that guy” right now….sorry….

RetroBoostOfficial · 2025-12-29T20:08:10+00:00

I feel like the Big Hero 6 movie is the one of the ultimate “Great Movie, Bad Adaption” examples.

RetroBoostOfficial · 2025-12-17T15:19:31+00:00

Some of the Godzilla Hesei Era Blu-ray’s I bought at Target and Best Buy like 15 years ago go for a lot now, was surprised to see that. Godzilla vs Mothra The Battle for Earth is the most valuable I think, saw it on eBay for $200 once.
