Star Fox 64 [Part 1] - Hard Route: Good Job! Keep Up The Pace!

- Star Fox 64 is one of my favorite games of all time that I have been endlessly quoting since its release in 1997. It was a spectacle of its time, introducing tons of actual voice dialogue and controller rumble feedback, as well as ultra fluid controls and gratifying huge boss explosions. It is always a blast to run through, and each run takes about an hour. But the fun part is routing it as you see fit, with 3 suggested paths separated by difficulty: Easy, Medium, and Hard; However, unlike the SNES game, these paths can be intersected for a custom mix, which is ideal for high score runs. About 8 years ago, I got very good at this game while trying to mimic zallard1 and his insane score runs, but I've since forgotten the best strategies and therefore didn't even beat my lowest score here. This video is just a casual let's play staying locked to the Hard Route to kick things off.

There was a time in my youth where I played this game every single day after school. It was the perfect length and it is so nostalgic!
>It was the perfect length
That's what she said
Same!
I was on this game like white on rice. It’s much more challenging on NS but I was a beast on the 64. This is so much better then Mario.
Loved starfox along with LOZOOT
Yep same here. Just wanted to shoot one more enemy!
Good Old Days Gaming: I'm doing terrible!
Me: Dang! This guy is good!
i want to know what Zoness looked like before. Judging by Falco's reaction (the only time he is legitimately upset) and Peppy's shock at seeing it, i wonder how beautiful it was before.
The route I always pick for when I want tons of action is this:
- Corneria on Hard Path
- Sector Y
- Reroute to Katina
- Reroute to Sector X
- Macbeth on Hard Path
- Area 6
- Venom Alt.
It makes you feel like you are part of the Cornerian army going on a series of defense and sabotage missions. It's great.
You probably meant Katina on third stage instead of Titania, but I like this route too!
My man
Assuming you mean Katina rather than Titania, this is the most fun route.
Star fox is a dead series. Nintendo doesnt want to revive it. @@KingdaToro
That final escape sequence and the appearance of Fox’s dad got me so emotional as a kid. I definitely cried and wrote about it in my journal, haha. Heck I’m trying not to tear up now. Very good memories, and glad to have re-experienced this with you :)
"Follow me son. You have become a skilled pilot. I am so proud of you" can only imagine Fox McCloud tearing up seeing his dad one last time. A very touching moment. Sorry for the rambling.
IKR! Fox's parents are dead in canon as the comics explained how his mother died. But its ok though. He has a new family now with Peppy Falco Krystal and of course Slippy. They are his family in a way.
I can agree that's sad
i used to love doing score runs of this game, even though I can't really remember what my high score was. Katina was always the run killer because it was so easy to lose your wings. Wish I had known about all the Zoness tricks back then, but alas, it was '97, so no internet for us. I'd definitely love to see more runs/routes of this 'cause you're extremely good at it! I never button mashed to rapid fire in this game though 'cause it seemed like holding the button and just releasing it briefly every half a second or so worked just as well. Like each press would shoot something like 3 lasers in rapid succession. I don't know if that works on all versions of the game though.
I will be covering all planets, followed by a proper score run as Part 5 of this LP. That laser thing definitely does work, but I guess I never bothered to learn the rhythm before it starts to charge. Unfortunately, my score run coming in a few days is a little bit cranky and critical of my mistakes, as I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I did post commentary over it, and it should be useful to anyone who hasn't already studied up the "speedrun" level score runners. I'm definitely stuck in the 2060-2075 range and think I've hit my max potential. It starts to be not fun retrying over and over just for 3-5 more hits.
The Golden Age of gaming/Nintendo. Mario64, Shadows of the Empire, StarFox64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye.....so many good games.
I don't know why they never made a game telling this before story involving James, Peppy, and Pigma.
because nintendo can't see 2 fingers from their faces and have no clue about what fans want
@@LovelyAlanna yeah... its a shame
Ok, that is a GREAT idea! I wish Nintendo didn`t keep ``retelling`` the same story again & again
@@LovelyAlanna It's Japan. They are robots that don't listen to anyone. They will be like that until they die
have you seen "A Fox in Space"?
That very last ending to the instrumental always reminds me of Oot and Majoras mask
Hey Bill, the Narrator guy who has the voice you wants name is Jay Green. And he was also the narrator for my SS book in school. I heard his voice today and looked it up, it was him. I noticed it right away.
On Star Fox Adventures, Slippy is voiced by a guy, Chris Seavor, who voiced Conker in Diddy Kong Racing and Conker's Bad Fur Day. He also voiced Peppy Hare in the same game.
Just broke out the 64 this past weekend (home on paternity leave).
Never realized how much of this game i never saw as a kid.
This is one of my favourite let's play's from Bill. So exciting and enjoyable.
I just wanted to say this because you didn't mention it when you were in Sector Z but you can actually fly into the back end port of the Great Fox for a repair if you lose too much health!
So much nostalgia right now. Thanks for doing this one!
"DO A BARREL ROLL!!" -Peppy
my fav's line
"Calm down, take a Xanax, Mr. Rabbit." 🤣
I was playing Star Fox 64 yesterday and I tried that bomb move on Andross' eyes before fighting the brain immediately afterwards and it worked! The only difference is I used the brake instead of doing a somersault. Thank you so much, Bill for showing me that new move! You are a very nostalgic gamer! 😉👍
Your voice acting is PRICELESS!
Your playthrough of Mario took me way back to my childhood, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m very happy you play these games and that I found your channel. Keep it up.
I was very interested in James McClouds existence there bc it surprised me to see him and at 51:30 you can see a shooting star across the screen above the ship which proves that’s him flying off and he’s still alive
I always played what I thought was the most cinematic route..... Meteo, fortuna, solar, Macbeth, area 6 and venom hard! Love this game and the soundtrack especially area 6 and wolfs theme! 👍👍👍
Holy crap you're good at this game.I need to learn how to play this good.After watching the runaway guys play through this game,its nice to watch someone rip right through this game.
Hey Einstein...
Hey brother, just wanted to say I'm new to the channel but have enjoyed your Star Fox content immensely. Downloaded Project 64 and SF64 recently because of your videos and the overwhelming nostalgia I felt watching them. I"m working my way through the medals right now and your videos are both helpful and entertaining. Cheers friend!
"Do a barrel roll"
"YEAH! It's working."
I was gonna ask if you’d do a star fox 64 play through. So glad you decided to! I loved this game growing up! I was blown away the first time I went on the hard route and fought Andross and he was the brain. Amazing game and very nostalgic! Thanks for sharing as always man! Keep it up!
Yo I never got through the entire hard route! Looking forward to seeing it done.
The music track on the Ranking section is just so majestic. I could listen to it for hours. God, this game is such a masterpiece.
I don't know what's up with all the Star Fox 64 recent uploads by some youtubers. Seems like it took a whooping 23 years to see how good this game is. Truly a masterpiece. Btw, good run! The hard route is my favorite.
Hackers discovered every voice line uncompressed as part of the recent sketchy/illegal N64 data leak, so that's why Star Fox 64 briefly resurfaced, among other classics. It's definitely neat what has been found, but technically it wasn't supposed to be found the way it was.
@@GoodOldDaysGaming i love slippy's uncompressed voice. it makes him feel more distinct and unique from the others.
This is so lovely, Bill ^^ Looking forward to more! :)
never thought id see erik foreman playing starfox 64 before, what a day
I've watched this LP so many times. I even went so far as to buy the game on ebay because I was only able to rent it as a kid.
Great game. I always loved the crazy explosions in this game, especially the train blowing up its own building
23 years later, and I only just learn you can fire unlocked charged shots!
Did we get 'em?
Not yet sir!
I quote that all the time. My hands got tired just watching you play the Venom approach level lol
The capping at 511 hits on Area 6 could be a hardware cap. As that would be 2 bytes worth of hits. Each byte has a value of 0-255, or perhaps, 1-256.
Thanks for the ride I just finished watching your play through! I just also finished playing on the switch and man I missed this game such great memories from my childhood playing this with my brothers and finding the new paths.
I used to rent this from blockbuster all the time when I was a kid. Such nostalgia
Starfox 64 Remastered would be supreme and blow my mind!
And the ending is darn good!
Hey man I really love your videos and insights for this amazing game. Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite N64 games. I still have my original cartridge.
You should do Kazooie or Mario Sunshine next. Or if you want another N64 FPS, Turok could be a fun LP.
Kazooie is done and set to release in September
I second either Turok or Armorines
@@GoodOldDaysGaming Yeah Sunshine or 007 Night Fire also love your content.
@@GoodOldDaysGaming Awesome, I just started a replay of this game but decided to wait for your eventual lets play instead!
loved completing this game. it was my first 64 game.
I've never been good at this game at all,but I always enjoy playing through this game whenever I get the chance.
Brilliant gameplay sir !
I love watching your runs, and how you enjoy so much the games that I love, I feel like we would’ve been best friends haha keep up the good work! ;)
Love that line…. “ you’re good, but I’m better!” Lmao 🤣
After watching the Mario 64 playthrough and seeing this pop up the only thing I could thing of is “I’m comin’ for yas!”
Although tbf he sais that in every playthrough at some point hahaha. Let’s go Bill
there was a time when i was younger that andross actually gave me nightmares lol
I literally thought to myself that you should do a star fox gameplay yesterday and look what I'm watching lol
I still enjoy playing this game even to This day .
Good old times with this game. Thats why i wanted the full star fox team in my multi fan fiction i just finished.
I played this game quite a lot when i was kid. I still play it on the switch
The moving star is supposedly James’s ghost. If you look in the top right hand corner
511 is probably the max due to size restrictions in memory. 2^9 is 512 so you can have a range from 0-511. That number will be a string of 9 numbers (either 0 or 1; binary). I would assume there is just that restriction using binary with the code or hardware of the N64.
The original run cartridge got up to 999.
Thanks for the great content! I love this game to this day and forgot all the secrets and different routes
I really loved star fox as a kid, but you fucking LOVE star fox, respect and awesome listening to your incites
This game is incredible, I’m so glad I still have a original copy for N64, the sound track is amazing.
I think either after or before this, Falco and Katt form there own team. I know it's covered in the Manga "Farewell, beloved Falco."
I always liked when you got the check at the end 🤣🤣
Back in 95 or 96 Nintendo had a small kiosk set up for public beta tests of Star Fox's Multiplayer in my local mall. I remember playing the mode where your on foot and that they were mentioning they weren't sure if they were going to include it in the final game. Seems odd to me they had the kiosk in such a small town but I was 6 at the time and they were giving out pretty big gift bags for participating.
The Hard Route. The expert way to not only get a true ending, but a high score
I was just looking through your channel yesterday to see if you had played this yet! Super stoked for this one
I'm not trying to be weird here, okay, but I like it better when you're happy, because you're very obvious about it when you're enjoying yourself, for one, but your more natural charms come out, too. I think you'd make for a good friend for pretty much anyone because you're easy-going when you're happy.
I learned all the hard routs because of the bigger kids at my daycare. Back in the day when you had to actually know someone who knew all the tricks.
Slippy is apparently canonically a male, according to in-game dialogue.
You had to get all medals in the game, then you could play on foot; Hard Path Venom was the most difficult because you additionally required everyone surviving, the Star Fox team members frequently die quickly from Hard Venom Star Wolf Squadron if not handled immediately.
I’ve gotten 150 points on a level and did not receive a medal, do you know how to get that unlocked?
You have to keep everyone else alive also. It’s possible Slippy, Peppy, or Falco died when you tried.
Hell yeah!
Dude your lowest beats my highest by hundreds. I need to stop telling my son im good at this game lol
The reason for the 511 hit count is that they only allocated 2 bytes to hold the hit data. 1 byte is 256 and 2 is 512 and then you have to subtract 1 for 0. If you care/see this over 2 year after posting the video.
It's probably easier to get a medal in Sector Z if you warp from X, so Katt doesn't steal points.
The 3DS version is great with updated graphics and music, but the re-recorded voice acting isn't always perfect. It's worth playing, though.
DANG DEPLOY IT NOW
Love that game must of played it 100000000000 times
To get on-foot mode you must get a medal on Expert mode Venom (either stage). Getting all Expert medals is what gets you that new title screen shown in the video, where Fox gets all close to the camera with his goofy face.
My highest score of all time was only 2007, in normal mode, using this route: Meteo, Katina, Sector X, Macbeth, Area 6.
Why's my score not higher? Two reasons. One, I suck. Two, I got sick of resetting every single time something went terribly wrong. Always trying for a high score whenever I play this, but now it's on a more casual basis.
I feel your pain. I have a score run coming up in part 5, and it's definitely not something I could keep doing. Retrying levels over and over to try and have a near flawless score kills the fun after a while.
@@GoodOldDaysGaming Corneria's a good first stage, but for the score runs it becomes maddening having to play it a lot.
Please do more Star Fox 64 videos! I know it's kind of limited in what you can really do, but even if it's just a couple runs every now and then that'd be groovy.
I just realised that I have only ever accidentally shot down slippy. Am I bad? On a side note, cane toads are a horrid pest in Australia. Maybe that was a subconscious thing
I'm comin for ya's
Iconic
So, how long has Nintendo had the theme of "eye, eye, hand, hand" bosses? You see it here, you see it in various Zelda games, you see it in Smash Bros with Master Hand (minus the eyes, then), so on. It seems like a format they like using for some reason.
Hooray, more StarFox from you! Is there a chance you'll ever play Zero for us too? I tried watching a no-commentary longplay, but i got confused cuz there's too much going on adn I lose track.
Honestly I don’t know why the hard path is called the hard path because I find it way easier than some other planets especially on expert mode. Facing Starwolf at Venom rather than the onslaught of regular enemies is just way easier.
I didn't know the voice actor of peppy hair died from Covid.
Awesome
When you said it wouldn't be different well if you play certain characters during certain parts makes it hard to make sure fox would be available at the end but they could just pull a slippy before tetteria, otherwise other easter eggs and different routes would be screwed
lol its funny those "slow downs" are now called "frame drops"
Good video bro memories
I remember getting so excited getting to play aquas then hating how crappy the level was with how dark it got at points.
How many times you tried a scoring run on expert with the red route my best is 2 , 388. And with my highest at Corneria being 321. And I get over 330 at sector Y with getting as high as 340 and aquas my best is 326
There's a cover of aquas' theme with an oboe and english horn and its reeeally good man, maybe you can give it a look
Man looking at Corneria reminds of Smash 64
I used to play this a lot with my brother. One day the cartridge just vanished. I think one of my friends stole it, but never found out.
Dang man I got a high score of 1600 and thought I was awesome! Bill gets 1645..."that score sucks!" 😭😭😭
Big like dropped
Starfox64 is the best!
i used to be good at this game and after i just finished it on stream did I realize i now suck at it. after watching how easy it is for you now im like wth is wrong with me lmao
anyone know how to not lock on with the switch controller?
I would watch you play this going down all the paths
Stay tuned!
Ahhhh coming from a bunch of blind plays of this game where nobody bothered to even learn the controls, i had to come and watch someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Could you respond but do you connect your consoles to your computer or do you use dolphin emulator
This is my N64 console. I tend to use Project 64 to emulate N64 though. GameCube I rarely ever use dolphin. I use my actual GameCube.
@@GoodOldDaysGaming oh ok and I've also been meaning to ask what software/app do you use to edit
@@jackhales7365 he uses the sheer force of will...just creates edited video out of nowhere.
Do you play zelda
@@jackhales7365 I do
I haven't played this game since I was a kid. I wonder if I would be better at it now.
Awesome game :)
