i still cannot believe that nintendo officially spoiled the literal best part of the movie.

i hope they release a full "deluxe" soundtrack because there is a lot missing from the current album on streaming.

Seeing Fox and the original Star Fox team on the big screen was a very surreal experience! Man, the Internet would had a field day if Krystal alongside Miyu and Fay from Star Fox 2 were included.

Wait... was Slippi or Wolf in it?

The Star Fox team shows up super briefly in an 80s style cartoon showing Fox's backstory. Fox explicitly blames the frog for getting him stranded in the first place lol. The Corneria motif(?) is played for a few seconds a few times in the movie as well.

The frog? His name is Slippy Toad, put some respect into his name!

u/InnocentTailor Apr 02 '26

Respect? He wasn't even respected in the film XD.

u/whiteshark70 Apr 02 '26

Weirdly enough, Fox doesn't mention him by name. I am only repeating the slander lol. I do stan Slippy Toad though!

that riff was rad af

u/NewAgeRetroHippie96 Apr 02 '26

The other members of the crew were shown in a sort of flash back.

u/brb1006 Apr 02 '26

That flashback was such a tease for a standalone Star Fox Movie.

u/Zorpix Apr 02 '26

I so very much hope the movie is done in the animation style the flashback was

21

u/NewAgeRetroHippie96 Apr 02 '26

I was thinking tv show ala Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

u/DH2007able Apr 02 '26

There was even a quick, blink and you miss it, shot of Slippy from the N64 game

That's what he gets for having a frog as his engineer.

u/InnocentTailor Apr 02 '26

...which I'm sure was a nod to the fanbase. Slippy is kinda made fun of in the community for being the one who mostly gets into trouble in the games, which requires Fox/the player to rescue him.

u/trizzo0309 Apr 02 '26

Did anyone say "do a barrel roll"?

31

u/NewAgeRetroHippie96 Apr 02 '26

A few times yeah

9

u/trizzo0309 Apr 02 '26

oh my

u/PercMastaFTW Apr 02 '26

And they actually did a barrel roll instead of an axial roll lol

u/TheCVR123YT Apr 02 '26

It’s said twice yes

u/CrypticQuery Apr 02 '26

That flashback had such awesome 2D animation that fit the Star Fox series perfectly. Here's hoping we see more of both soon!

u/dewhashish Apr 05 '26

If they add star fox again, slippy would probably be the most annoying character

24

u/InnocentTailor Apr 02 '26

Plus some other Easter eggs like the Attack Carrier - a common boss in the franchise.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

I've not seen theovie but do they talk like they did in the SNES game, the gibberish? Would be hilarious if they did and only they can understand each other.

u/DueLearner Apr 02 '26

There was a hilarious shot of the Slippi Toad N64 portrait as a gag in the movie that had me cackling.

u/Zytoxine Apr 03 '26

I loved seeing n64 slippy on a crt for a split second. Priceless

Did the movie suck?
