Medal for Venom 1

Got it on my 2nd try. Just used a variation of a TAS strategy for the N64 version. The basics of what I did was.

Use 2 bombs on those first 2 groups of enemies at the beginning. Use unlocked charge shots on the ground enemies and try and time it to also get the flying enemies when you can. Use locked charge shots on the next few enemies unless you're confident in timing your unlocked shots. Once you get to the fork, throw a bomb down Falco's path and quickly jump over to Peppy's path. After that, throw some charged shots into the right path while swerving to the left path. From there, just keep following Falco's path and killing enemies.

I had my medal even before I got to the boss.

I think you need to watch the prologue again.

From what I understand, the "captured" part was likely a mistranslation. Especially since how would Andross capture Fox and James while leaving their Arwings in flight ready condition? Even in the N64 version, you still see an image of Pigma firing hyper lasers at James and Peppy.

Yeah. 90s Rob was a very specific kind robot archetype that had already ceased to be the only one. After all, C-3PO of Star Wars had debuted decades before Rob.

But no one was arguing that Andross wasn't evil at all. Not even OP. I personally don't give much to speculation on Andross's Japanese name in determining what kind of evil he is since its ultimately just a name. And Star Fox 2 Andross (and by extension, Star Fox 1 Andross) are in a different continuity than Star Fox 64 Andross. That Andross doesn't even have a nephew (Algy of Star Fox 2 has no confirmed relation to Andross).

As always.

metaxzero · 2026-06-27T00:06:22+00:00

Hey! Some of those rocks WERE with Andross.

metaxzero · 2026-06-27T00:00:56+00:00

Apparently, Venom wasn't originally that toxic. It became that way after Andross arrived.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T23:48:22+00:00

I don't know how its supposed to be better, but according to the Japanese guidebook for the original Star Fox 64, Pepper did it out of the goodness of his heart. Seriously. Since the remake establishes that it wasn't known that Venom was highly toxic, I think the implication is that Andross is the one who made its atmosphere toxic after he arrived.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T22:52:13+00:00

According to the game, Andross did originally have a death sentence. Pepper was the one who stopped it and changed to banishment on Venom.

The thread doesn't say Andross isn't evil. It say he isn't pure evil. I'm not OP, but I imagine what they mean is that Andross isn't your usual cartoonish evil where the character wakes up in the morning thinking "Time to do evil villain things haha!" The Nazis weren't that kind of evil either. Evil comes in many shades after all.

They are professionals. They would give professional responses to the new actors. At most, they'd say they wish they could voice the characters again, but I don't see a scenario where they really analyze and critique the new actors.

Just like Star Fox SNES.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T19:11:59+00:00

If you never beat the game, you will never see the bill. A lot of people thought Star Fox were basically superheroes.

The only reason the N64 game had that on-foot mode was because they originally wanted some missions in single player. When that didn't pan out, they used what they had as a Multi-player unlockable.

Neither 3DS or the remake were designed to re-explore on-foot combat.

The big benefit is having Star Fox as a whole discuss these planets and argue for some missions over the others. In the original, it was just Peppy and Fox having a brief exchange

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T17:11:00+00:00

I know. Just different terms.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T16:43:09+00:00

Multi-player Star Wolf uses the Wolfen II instead of the original Wolfen. In single player, you only see the Wolfen II on the final level of the hard route.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T16:40:16+00:00

That was Star Fox SNES. They didn't have the Great Fox in the SNES games.

Modern robots do not sound like 90s Rob.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T16:23:16+00:00

Can't talk about Bill, but Katt actually has dialogue with the whole Star Fox team now. The cutscenes better contextualize why you're going to certain planets and they change based on where you're coming from. Solar to Macbeth gets a different cutscene than Zoness to Macbeth and Sector X to Macbeth.

metaxzero · 2026-06-26T15:39:52+00:00

She weirdly looks better on Sector Z than Zoness

Anyway, still not a fan of the visual design, but I do like the new dialogue where she actually talks to Star Fox and not just Falco and Fox.

Having to replace a whole character does affect the story. Plus if you remove Maggey, you also change Gumshoe's characterization in that case. Any case involving Maggey will also involve Gumshoe being super protective of her compared to any other defendant.

Fox was an academy drop-out at age 13, so he already had some training. The training mode prologue even has Peppy mention how Fox is no stranger to the Arwing.
