The main front of the war is around Katina and Sector Y, and there's no way for Cornerian forces to penetrate deep enough to attack Andross' base on Macbeth. The Star Fox Team's orders were to operate independently, circumvent the bulk of enemy forces and strike Venom and Andross directly.

The tougher bosses are the ones you fight in a less familiar control setup. Those being both Landmaster bosses, Aquas, and Star Wolf since you're in all-range mode.
@@xxdudeyydude5106 I 100% agree especially on Expert. While they can be quickly beaten in normal mode, I beat them once on Expert and all of my team was gunned to retreat
I like how being able to easily decimate MecBeth is present here in the 3DS version as well! It feels so SATISFYING to decimate an otherwise difficult boss.
Somehow, the original feels more satisfying than the remake. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics are good, but the explosions and sounds don’t seem right.
the 2D effects are less impactful. in the original, your low health ship really does look like it could blow up any second, but this version just doesnt compare
@@swordsmanoftime3001 Only other thing to complain about is Venom. The bit of Blue sky you can see during all range mode kills the dark atmosphere in the original. Venom was ment to be a place of darkness and despair, and you can see a blue sky with clouds from a distance?
@@kawaiiprincess3607 I don't normally get annoyed at sharp pixel edges in games but in this version the graphics paired with the better texturing just stands out wrong to me. While using 3D mode it isn't as notable because of the 3d effect taking your attention but otherwise it feels wrong while looking nice - ends up taking you out of the immersion a bit. Explosions especially the Bomb item feel really lacking in impact, and it seems like they wanted to minimize the possibility of triggering someones epilepsy but come on, why. It's unfortunate, I love the fact they completely re-built the original in new code almost exactly, kinda wish the n64 mode literally transported the lower quality graphics/slow down/effects and everything right back in. Oh well. The original will still live on! And so will this remake in a newer generation!
Imagine how this stage would look like if the planet was remodeled to look like the volcanic catastrophe it was in the old SNES version... Actually, I WANT to see that!
Awesome, that he took out almost every section of the train and most of the other enemies, including the front by changing the track to the fuel bunker. Funny seeing this is between Falco and Katt, where she unexpectedly comes.
Starfox should lean into this as a franchise. Branching paths are cool, but so are branching boss defeats. I like the idea that depending on how you kill the bosses, you arent just advancing forward in your own goals but actively hindering your event in future levels. Like this is the fuel depot for the entire Venomian fleet? Maybe for the rest of the game after this, the makeup of Andross' army changes to reflect this loss of resources. Faster enemies become rarer, but a greater number of slow, hard-hitting enemies show up. Your actions wouldnt just determine the direction you take in your assault, but also WHAT will be thrown at you later. So like in Sector X, you go up against those Gundam-wannabe mechs. They show up in other levels too, but perhaps defeating the general in a particular way would have him crashing into the command ship, and this removes all mechs from other levels. In the asteroid belt we see secret blue warp gates which can teleport Starfox team to other planets entirely. Maybe by taking/not taking the path -- and subsequently, whether you kill the asteroid boss or not, the Venomian army can catch wise as to the portals existence -- if you don't kill the bosses on a specific path because you're warping, they can go on to send their own enemies through to later levels.
Until recently seeing the train conductor's profile up close and in better definition, I always thought he was some sort of cyclops, but now I see he just has really tiny eyes xD
I always do that, but I play on the N64 meaning it’s way easier to mash the A button like no tomorrow and after that my arm hurts for a minute. Star Fox 64 everybody
You can blow up those cars for 7 hits apiece. You have to be very quick to get all 3. It's not a bad strategy, but with charge shots, you can get more points from letting them get dumped onto the ground
I would like to have 14 medals I've have collected in Star Fox 64, and Sector Z is the only mission that I've did not get a medal yet, and it is the hardest then the other missions. In Sector Z, Falco mostly destroy at least one missile and Fox does not get any points to do so. At least I unlock the Landmaster Tank in the Battle Mode by getting a medal in Venom 2, via Area 6 as a high score of 227 (or 228) kill points and have Peppy, Slippy, and Falco survived on that level when I completed the game.
Omg same, a trick is to take the warp from Sector X so Katy does not bully you, also at the point the first missile comes in, DON’T save ur wingmen if they have someone on them, this stops them from being able to steel a missile kill.
God-dang it. I honestly HATED Macbeth, but I enjoyed chasing down the train. I always seemed to die AT THE BOSS with those stupid switches. That butterfly-like mechanical insect tracked me down and I kept dying each and every time. But I was SOOOOOOOOOO satisfied when I made the train crash into the depot on my second run!
It would be nice to have the option to keep these new graphics but have the old sound effects, voices, and soundtrack. Its most likely the nostalgic effect but the original sounds much better. The radio sound effect sounds like an ear-rape and the boss sounds less Bill Cosby (lol). And how did they end up ruining the boss music?
I live how the track switcher is ROCKET PROPELLED. Yes thats what we need, a uselessly bloated version of technology that already works today without being anymore optimized.
Although I love to play SF franchise, I find a disappointment the N64 soundtrack. The SNES Star Fox soundtrack is way better and inspirational. Take for instance the SNES music for Macbeth. It is awesomely cool!! -> th-cam.com/video/l5KGCViaE_4/w-d-xo.html, way better than the forgettable N64 version.

He's also the best boss when it comes to taunting you, especially given the whole idea of chasing after him.
Same here. It's because when you shoot the switch, you destroy him AND the supply depot which severely hurts Venom's ability to wage war on Corneria.

Only after Zoness just like Bill in Solar after Katina.
I believe this is if you fly into the spotlights in Zoness. The purpose was to go through there undetected.
