Star Fox 64 - All Bosses + Secret Bosses (Expert / No Damage) 

Gotta love that this game isn't shy about the brutal fact that most of the bosses just straight up die in battle. Particularly the bioweapons, which blow apart in chunky fleshy pieces. Star Wolf are pretty much the only exception, and even then, your second rematch with them shows they didn't get out without a scratch.

"Ah. so this is star fox" procceds to lose a leg mid sentence.

9:34 -- Ja Green's vocal performance as the Mechbeth train engineer is golden. He perfectly captures the horror and terror of that sap as his out-of-control train plows through the buffer stops and into the fuel depot.

This dude thrashed Cyborg Team Star Wolf so hard, Andrew couldn’t even get out his opening line lmao

One detail I love is somewhat of the non spoken story telling about how the routes work. For example, in order to reach Area 6, you have to either go through Sector Z or get the train to crash in the fuel depot. Which implies that through Sector Z you sneaked your way to Venom's air defence and they are caught unaware, they knew Starfox was coming but not when or where so they are stretched thin, allowing a window. Meanwhile, the fuel depot is that most of their ships are grounded due to lack of fuel which allows a window through Area 6. Hell, to even get to Sector Z you have to not get spotted by any spotlight in Zoness, otherwise Andross forces know where you are. The missiles in Z are pretty much blind fire from Andross Forces in an attempt to stop you, even if they don't know where you are, if the Greatfox is damaged, even with the stretched lines, Fox is reluctant to risk it though Area 6 Failing either forces you to go through Bolse, the easier path, because Area 6 is too heavily fortified to go through.

I love that on the time it takes the first boss to say “Ah, so this is Star Fox!” He’s already lost a leg on his mech and face planting on the ground.

It’s almost like it was your goal to kill as many bosses as possible before Slippy can say “I analyzed their shields.”

34:58 Peppy:"Slippy's dead..." Falco: "NICE!"

Imagine making a game so legendary that after 27 years fans are clammering for a game to match such awesomeness. Biggest missed opportunity to make a Star Fox game on Switch

9:34 No!!! Hit the Brakes !!! I can't STOP IT !!! This never gets old. 🤣🤣🤣

27:38: You can't beat me. I've got a better ship! 1 second later: This can't be happening!

The comedic timing of 27:38 was golden.

You know, this game has aged pretty well in the visuals. I don't think that's the nostalgia talking either.

Mothership destroys a friend’s planet: Fox: “Dang.” Peppy: “Don’t be so down, Fox.”

3:01 🦊🐰🐦🐸 vs 🐺🐷🦎🐵

The most brutal loss is when Great Fox takes a hit in Sector Z.

Never noticed how great the soundtrack for this games was. Quite enjoyed the boss tracks in particular. 🎶🎶🙂

The strobing of the enemy armor in this game to indicate you’re hitting the right spot is just such a comfy nostalgic thing to look at.

I don't know why, but I've been so obsessed with the Nintendo 64 out of nowhere. Heck, I haven't touched a Nintendo console in almost a year and just watching stuff like this has just been scratching the itch I felt lately.

34:50 never noticed that because the boss knock out slippy the shield bar disapears, i mean slippy is the one analising the boss shields xD

Step on the gas!!! The train conductors voicelines are legendary 😂

I didn't realize how unique and lively all the little sound effects were in this game.

Watching this boss rush just made me and my older sister giddy with memories and we just started talking how we were kids back then, so mesmerized by the game and so fun to play. We played this game nonstop for months on end because it was just addicting to play. Finding all the routes, the secret stuff, anything we could find on it... It was just so fun! Our biggest reason was trying to get the HIGHEST possible score in the game to see if it would unlock anything secret in the True Ending of the game back in the N64 era. The only secret was General Pepper being surprised at the STEEP bill he was given to pay StarFox for their efforts. It was adorable. And our second reason for continuous playing of the game, was practicing against the bosses to try to kill them with style. We also watched our dad play it, he was having fun, and we taught our little brother how to play it... it was just... a good game. God the memories... I miss those days. Thank you for going through the bosses! :D

Nostalgia intensifies (Because I grew up with this N64 video game!)

Meteo crusher straight up committing a war crime by falsely surrendering.

The amount of runs ive did on the game as a kid was too much and i still have my original copy of this game when it first came out!!!!

I like how this game has two general directions depending on what route you take to approach Venom. By taking the Easy Route through Meteo, you start to see Star Fox gain some naiveity as they cannot predict an ambush. They also start to mock each other almost as if they aren't taking the mission seriously and just blitzing through it. Forwarding that into Sector X, Star Fox gains incompetence as they start to make many careless mistakes. Which is reflected by YOUR performance as they tell you to be more alert of your surroundings. It's almost like the game is teaching you to take caution and stay on guard around everything by taking the Easy Route. And lastly, by doing the Easy Route Venom, you see how your teammates are rest assured by Fox being safe and they proceed to the ceremony as usual. But in the end credits, Andross' head is still visible which means you've only killed the robotic double. In contrast, the Hard Route through Sector Y has Star Fox showing professionalism and doing their best. By staying in formation by the end before facing the Shogun Carrier, you are granted an Extra Life which further reflects their competence. Going forward from there onto Sector Z, Star Fox is taken by surprise by an ambush but quickly reform their ranks and fend off the assailants. To add even more support, if you've completed Zoness before entering Sector Z, Katt will help you destroy the missiles, as will the rest of your teammates. She will also appear during Macbeth if Zoness was cleared prior. Another useful touch is Falco will help you shoot the 8 switches on Macbeth to force Mechbeth and his Forever Train screening right into the depot. And lastly, on Area 6, Star Fox and the Great Fox take the Venom army by complete surprise, mopping their numbers with little difficulty. It shows how your performance following Sector Y and forward has paid off and you've become an ace pilot. From helping your teammates out of a bind to giving you an easier Mission Accomplished, the support you give on your teammates is reflected in your performance through the Hard Route. Personally, I think this game has great narrative and it shows that the classic generation never went wrong on showing a newbie the ropes.

2:46 “I can’t believe I lost to this scum!” “ Sorry to jet, but I’m in a hurry!”

Oh yeah. You miss some secret scene at Sector Y and Katina. After you defeat the boss. - If you score less than 100 kills, Corneria's fleet won't survive. (You'll get only access to Katina since you failed to protect Corneria's fleet). - If you score more than 100 kills or reach golden, Corneria's fleet will survive. (It will unlock your way to Aquas and the Corneria's fleet will take care of Katina). Katina: - No Bulldog Fighter shot down: Bill will thank Fox and Fox will reply that he owe Fox. - Any Bulldog Fighter shot down: Bill will talk goodbye in normal way.

Whoa never knew you could fly through Great Fox during the missile assault

This game taught me what carpal tunnel felt like when I was young and I still love it over 20 years later

There's some secret voice lines for peppy slippy and falco. When playing on an all-range mode level, fly in front but in the same direction of them they will say a special line. Most of it is about the past and basic chat

Even though this game was pretty much for kids. Looking back some of these bosses and levels were nightmare fuel. Some of them were legitimately creepy.

Love this game, even if I'm trash at it. Also love when your allies choose to fly across your line of fire while fighting the boss, and have the gall to complain when they're hit.

'My emperor! I failed you!' Made me laugh a lot as a kid.

It’s really cool that the entire team that made this game made Pokémon stadium 1 and 2

starfox vs starwolf was always my favorite. the music. the voices. the constant banter and how they react to your moves. just pure perfection 🤌

"You gonna listen to that monkey?" Falco being based AF

My favorite game growing up. All the differnt paths and learning how to unlock things with trail and error. I still remember the day I learned bombs locked on. It made the wolf battles and many boss fights soooooo much easier. I love seeing someone show this gem some love.

I recall playing this game in my childhood and getting to hard route venom. Upon entering the area and star wolf makes their return, Pigma crashes into a pillar and instantly dies as soon as the cutscene of them all entering ends. I have never seen it again and have never been able to replicate that day where Pigma absolutely eats shit and dies instantly.

No damage is pointless on the lava planet

StarFox 64 has insane replay value one of my all time favorite games

I love how the Katina boss is referencing the Independence Day film and the escape from Venom is obviously a Star Wars reference :D

Very interesting compilation. I've never seen some missions "complete" before, it's good that you edited them in!

I was at the store in line during July 1997 the day this game came out. Got a sneak peak vhs from Nintendo power and had to have it. Introduced the rumble pak with this game too.

30:37 the real final boss for me was getting out of this place. For some reason when I was a kid, I kept dying trying to escape lol

That boss at 6:42 is a reference of Independence Day 1996 movie 😅

Some of the bosses have hidden fail conditions. I'm pretty sure Mechbeth and Golemech both have insta-kill attacks if you let the battle go too long. Golemech in particularly will eventually just make a mass of walls you can't dodge. Edit: I always preferred this version of Leon. I HATED him in Assault. Like, I get that they made Panther the "suave talker" in that one since its part of his character to be a ladies man but still.

Meteo Crusher voice actor went that extra mile

I've always loved the ending to this game, thinking Fox dies and then James shows up and leads you to safety and then disappears into the galaxy somewhere because he can't be assed to actually be there for Fox any other time lol. It's always made me laugh but I love it regardless, plus the VA for James did a damn good job. Was kind of hoping in later games Fox would have a voice similar to that but alas.

Rest in Peace to the voice actor of Andross/Peppy Hare in Star Fox who also was The Soldier from Team Fortress 2. Wonder who else he played as?

4:07 Wat the heck?! FOX!!! LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!

Andross:Only i have the brains to rule Lylat.

That first boss is a helluva bigger challenge if, you try to shoot its back ONLY and try to not damage its arms head or legs. And even if you take out the head and arms but let it keep walking with its legs, trying to get behind the thing is a lot harder than it looks...

this game is a classic

Imagine yourself flying a starship into an enclosed area, with no ability to eject, to battle a body-lacking digital King Kong. Now imagine you were a fox.

good to know that I actually got all bosses, just never got the forever train ending because being young and not understanding english meant that i never knew that the locks were a thing

Andross has to be one of, if not the smartest Nintendo villain, the fact he created a fake copy of himself and a whole pathway to a fake lair in case Star Fox took the safe route by engaging Bolse has to be one of the smartest moves I've ever seen

Pretty smooth flying, Fox

Lore accurate Star Fox

having back up in those missions was always the best little cutscenes

Ah! My childhood! This game is SO quotable! Love it!

Great work, Star Fox 64 is my childhood.

How fast were you tapping the shoot button cause you didn’t even give the health bar enough time to register lol

Just like I remember playing Star Fox 64.

i loved playing this game as a kid on n64. Great job with all the bosses

Till this day I don't get what harm can do an Oyster in an Aquatic world

Where is the creator? (God is in heaven) The, view, is, clear +Yeah! It's working!+ I must be complete!

Really impressive.

Is it just me or did the devs get the idea of Saucerer from Independence Day?

Great video! It might have been nice to drag out the fights a bit more to hear all the dialogue, but still a nostalgia trip!

I still remember when Star Wolf said, "You're good, BUT I'M BETTA" 😂😂😂

Granga got a massive upgrade in starfox zero, dude went from a walking mech that fell like professor frinks security system to a giant ufo with friggen lasers.

The fact Shogun are just mobile suits is just cool

Boy, I remember when the discussions at lunch time duing school were how to get the secret route to fight the real Andros

still own my original copy of the game, came with the rumble pack ^^ i also recall how mad my parents got at me for calling the Nintendo gaming hotline to get info's on how to enter the different routs of the map..... need to hook my n64 up again^^

He made it look so easy!

After decades of playing this, I just now noticed that Gorgon deploys from the surface of Venom and approaches you in the course of a few seconds. It truly is the strongest weapon in the Venomian military, and defeating it was no small feat for the Star Fox Team!

0:12 this guy really put the "leg" in *MY LEG*

You can even cheese Star Wolf. They actually do fly/spawn in at the start of their cutscene. They always come from the bottom right corner of the map, and will be at the at the very top. Just aim up and spam while following their straight path to the center of map. Very possible to spawn kill all of them before the battle start.

I love how one of the levels you just have to fight the Aliens from Independence Day

I remember after school,I'd throw a Totino's party pizza in the microwave,and play through this game. God I miss those days.

i love the fact that they used so many soundeffects from okarina of time. these gems of games define a hole era for me in the videogameindustry just by hearing them. star fox 64 had just an insanly good voice acting something okarina of time never needed. these people just knowed exactly what is necessary to make a good game these days. and golomech was such a great boss. the running animation with the obstacles like he is in panic was awesome

Cant belive I forgot that this game lives rent free in my heart ❤

21:13 bro came _this_ close to failing a no damage run 😅

I don’t think I failed Katina, because I would have remembered that epic explosion!

I WONDER IF THE SERCET FINAL BOSS IS GONNA BE THE SLOT MACHINE IN STAR FOX 64 LIKE IT WAS IN STAR FOX SUPER N8NTENDO

4:45 "He's saying "Hey Einstein, I'm on your side!"" -NCS

How come I never knew you could heal at Great Fox in Sector Z, that’s such a cool mechanic that I overlooked

It would've been interesting if they went the whole mile and changes Fox's voice to James along with the sunglasses in expert mode.

24:08 "What's takin' you so long, fox?!" I agree.

Happy Mario Day

I beat this game so much, I love it😊

9:34 "No! Hit the brakes! I can't stop it!"

I beat this game in less than 15 minutes(minus cutscenes), but holy hell, how did you shoot THAT fast

Which did you play this on, an emulator (Project 64)? The graphics here look much more upscaled than anything I remember

Imagine if these bosses just used bullets instead of all these wild contraptions lol. Maybe they would've stood a chance.

Man it's the true crime there was never a proper sequel to this game. It's so amazing even for todays standards.

4:54 Music makes us scared of a robot😂😂😂😂

Wolf R1: CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT STAR FO....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Wolf R2: It's time for revenge Star Fo....and I'm already shot down...
