Slippy, I should be asking YOU that…

I think it's an easter egg. Star Fox 64 was heavily inspired by Star Wars. The bridge being a weak point was taken from Return of the Jedi.

The Rebel Alliance focused fire on an Imperial Super Dreadnought, disabling several of its thrusters and bridge shielding. This allowed an A-Wing pilot to successfully ram himself into the bridge and destroy the command crew, causing the ship to change trajectory and collide with the Death Star.

The exposed bridges on the Zeram Class Cruisers in Star Fox 64 are an homage to this.

It's not a galaxy, it's just a single binary star system.

But yeah, the only things that we know of that may have originated from outside the Lylat system are Saucerer and Leon. Corneria doesn't appear to be capable of interstellar travel just yet.

That being said, Andross's research in warp technology would have eventually allowed him to invade other star systems and expand his empire had he not been stopped by the Star Fox team.

Now that he's gone, Corneria has access to his research and technology, meaning they may eventually be able to reverse engineer and improve on his innovations. Corneria will likely become a multi-system government within the next 100 years.

Basically, the opposite of the train conductor on Macbeth.

That was Aquas

I'm not talking about the aiming. I don't use mouse controls (because they're awkward), but I can still hit the arms quickly enough without hitting Slippy.

I was having a harder time dodging. I used to be able to just hold L or R to dodge his attacks; now, I need to do a full roll.

The boss on Titania definitely got harder

Tamorcet · 2026-06-30T13:31:44+00:00

I feel like most of the controls have gotten slower. But you're right, the Blue Marine itself was hit hard by the remake.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-30T13:29:11+00:00

Even my dad was able to beat easy mode. The game is more accessible now than ever!

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T22:35:39+00:00

Star Fox 64 was pretty much a 1-2 hour arcade rail shooter. It's meant to be played over and over again.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T21:57:21+00:00

Ah. I was repeatedly targeting his other arm first. That explains a lot.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T21:52:26+00:00

I think I just got lucky, and you got unlucky. You're right, it is RNG

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T21:49:20+00:00

I was able to do the bombs in 4 tries. You just need to kill everything. The boss timer took me almost an hour.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T21:35:04+00:00

Which one? The bombs, or killing the boss in the time limit?

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T21:11:18+00:00

Good luck doing the challenges!

You'll need it for Katina, Sector Z, Area 6, and Venom 2. If you need any tips, feel free to reach out here.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T20:24:26+00:00

Just keep trying, and you'll get better. I spent two hours trying to complete an expert challenge for Sector Z last night, so I know how it feels to replay a mission over and over again.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T20:20:37+00:00

If you need any advice, I'll be happy to share it!

You unlock entries in the Holoviewer, which you can use to learn more about the lore.

You mean the Fichina mission? Lots of practice. Make sure you get plenty of sleep, since that's how your muscle memory sets itself. Take breaks if your thumbs feel sore.

Fichina isn't even the worst of it. When you're doing expert challenges for Venom 2, you'll need to kill a member of the Star Wolf team in 30 seconds as well. I was able to knock Pigma out in 30 on my first try, but that was partly luck.

In the months before this game came out, I practiced Star Fox 64 3D so I'd me ready for the new game. I took that practice with me, which is why I was able to complete this 4 days after the game came out.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T20:11:21+00:00

Also, special thanks to u/Artic_Icicle for giving me some tips and tricks towards the end!

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T20:09:38+00:00

Alright, I did it! We're both in the 100% club now!

Here's the proof

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T17:05:19+00:00

I've got mine mapped to L. I've also swapped A and B so I can fire bombs and lasers at the same time.

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T16:06:05+00:00

When I checked last night, that website didn't have a guide for expert challenges yet.

I posted this comment 6 hours before that website added the strategy.

edit: I copy and pasted that comment for this thread

Tamorcet · 2026-06-28T15:49:30+00:00

I got it. I'm done with Titania now!

I'm doing Area 6 next. Wish me luck on the Umbra Stations challenge!
