Hasbro Marvel Legends Custom: Rex Charger and Electro-Charger (Review)

Introduction:

Rex Charger is the alternative energy specialist of the team. Along with John Thunder, he's one of the two new Centurions featured on the episode "Firecracker". He is a playboy man of wealth, a millionaire who earned his reputation as the best Alternative Energy scientist of Iceland, while Electro-Charger is Rex Charger's basic Assault Weapon System (AWS). Its major feature is a missile-launching backpack that can fire a Nighthawk missile in any direction. Its also includes a photon laser blaster, two quantum thrusters. They're one of the unreleased toys from the second year of the Centurions toy line by Kenner but, it was featured in later episodes of the TV series. In this review, the toy is a custom from a random figure of Hasbro Marvel Legends toyline. Using Mr. Fantastic (Skrull wave) head sculpt (HS) and DeadPool X-Force body. The figure was customized by Ruby Farisyi so, this figure is not an official release. The boxart is merely a photoshop work, I used to do this in all of my Centurions reviews in my wordpress blog.

Contents:

Rex Charger comes with his main figure along with his basic AWS called Electro-Charger. It has backpack with missile launcher, nighthawk missile, photon laser blaster, 2 quantum thrusters and a helmet.

Rex Charger is depicted to be a American man with a fine and slight muscular body proportions. He dons red and pale green exoframe suit but, in this figure he was painted lemon yellow. His exoframe suit is capable to combine with 2 Assault Weapon Systems called Electro Charger and Gattling Guard. His body was originally from ML Deadpool X-Force version, Deadpool body appeared to be muscular just a typical fictional American super heroes. I've always not fond with this kind of body proportions... I'm just glad the custom exoframe suit hides those steroids....

His HS was originally came from Mr. Fantastic which was customized and repainted to have Rex's facial features such as classic mullet haircut, contented goatee beard and blue eyes. Comparing to the cartoon counterpart, Rex Charger has dark blonde colored hair while Ruby painted his hair into redhead but, other than that Mr. Fantastic HS actually quite spot on for Rex. Rex Charger's face is seemingly based from Chuck Norris back in 1980s.

Rex's helmet was also added with clear colored visor like my custom Jake Rockwell's Fire Force, the color Ruby did for the helmet follows the Kenner toyline color which the helmet appears to be dominantly light color while the red mostly on the trims. Coming from Kenner, this is a bit inconsistent because in the cartoon, his helmet is dominantly red.

His articulations works like ML and Lightning Collection (LC) figures but, due to his full armor exoframe epoclay material several articulations were limited. He got movable head. He can still stretch and bend his waist a little from his ab-crunch but, in his exoframe clay almost blocking the whole mobility. His elbow articulations are very limited due to his armoric exoframe suit. He got rotatable 360 degrees lower torso but, limited due to his rear lower armor. Leg articulations works the same and originally there’s cut on his lower leg but, it was completely blocked from his exoframe suit. Although, I'm also thankful Ruby made the exoframe suit hides most of the visible pins on his original deadpool body.

Electro-Charger consisted 5 parts that must be combined to Rex's body but, in total it has 7 parts including the helmet. Despite, the large backpack Rex can still stands well without the need of base display. Like the helmet, this AWS design as well as the color follows the Kenner toy line. In the cartoon counterpart, aside the helmet color Electro-Charger has it's own design and color such as his backpack is orange while his photon laser blasters 2 quantum thrusters are blue and also, Rex's gloves are red. Frankly, I prefer the Kenner toy line color better since it matches better to his exoframe suit.

I can also make my own combination (minus helmet) without Rex's body to recreate the offline mode like but, since the actual Kenner toyline remains unreleased; what's worse the offline mode was almost never seen in the cartoon so, no one really knows how Electro-Charger offline mode looks. However, in episode 55 (To Dare Dominion), there’s a scene where the Centurions AWS turned into somekind of robotic creatures due to the alternate reality that Doc Terror created, during this scene Rex's basic AWS is transformed into somekind of robotic anglerfish like.

Thoughts:

This custom is a perfect conversion compared to my 3 Centurions figures that I reviewed from my old blogs, Rex Charger came out to be perfect made and plays solid. Although, the paintapp is still one of the main problem which they still chipped in certain articulation demonstration but, it's much improved compared to the previous 3. Ruby really done his best on this, and you can check the trio reviews in here.

Thank youu for reading😁🙏🏻

Zizzi would shake her head gently as she had been teleported on a mission. This a bit different for her as it seems like she was a large ship by the looks of it. She made over a window as she was looking out into space. "Woah." She put her hands on the window as she was taking in everything. (Star Fox)

The large ship that Zizzi was in is the Great Fox, a flagship, space carrier and the mobile headquarters for the mercenaries-for-hire, the Star Fox Team. Slippy Toad, the team's mechanic was heading over to the bridge when he saw Zizzi. "AAHH!!"

"Slippy, what is it?" Fox shouted as he, Falco Lombardi, and Peppy Hare came to the bridge. "What in the?" Peppy Hare spoke. "Hey! Who let you in the Great Fox?" Falco Lombardi asked seeing Zizzi.

"Who are you? State your business on the Great Fox." Fox asked crossing his arms.

aro week 2024 reading challenge (with recommendations!)

i decided to only read books with arospec character during aro week, so i created a little challenge for it on storygraph! come join if you'd like <3

some recommendations (books that i have already read) under the cut! (this is by no means exhaustive, and there are a lot of books with characters that are both aro and ace bc i tend to read a lot of those. would love to hear your recommendations bc i do want to diversify what i read as well!)

main characters:

the priory of the orange tree & a day of fallen night (samantha shannon) - LOVE these books so much. both have a main pov character that is aroace. not explicitly labeled in the story bc it's fantasy but especially in adofn, it's really clear

vespertine (margaret rogerson) - ya, aroace mc, not explicitly stated on page but it's obvious imho

loveless (alice oseman) - is anybody surprised

tarnished are the stars (rosiee thor - all books have arospec characters) - ya, aroace MC, not one of my favorites but the rep is nice

common bonds - a short story collection with arospec characters everywhere (my favorites were "discography" & "a full deck")

the thread that binds (cedar mccloud) - this just the definition of cozy fantasy for me. multiple arospec characters (sorry i don't remember the actual identities and can't find info), qpr, found family, and so much more (there's also a prequel out now but i haven't read that one yet)

werecockroach (blake polenth) - idk what to say about this, cockroaches kidnap everyone except the mc and friends, aroace + agender mc

hazel's theory of evolution (lisa jenn bigelow) - middle grade, aroace mc but it's not the focus, really heartwarming "wish i had this when i was a kid" vibes

two dark moons & three seeking stars (avi silver) - ya, i LOVE these books, aroallo mc & found family but with lizards

baker thief (claudie arseneault - all books have arospec characters) - aroallo genderfluid mc, wasn't a big fan of the story but i really liked the characters

by your side (margherita scialla) - a queerplatonic short story, i'm not the biggest fan of short stories but it's about two people deciding to be in a qpr

convenience store woman (sayaka murata) - i'm not really sure if the mc is supposed to be aroace but that's how i read it. it's supposed to be funny but i thought it was depressing as fuck lol

elatsoe (darcie little badger) - ya, aroace native mc (it only explicitly says she's ace tho), this one was a lot of fun, it's basically a murder mystery in a really interesting world

goddess of the hunt (eileen shelby) - poetry collection about aroace artemis (we stan)

side and background characters:

summer of salt (katrina leno) - ya, very minor aroace character

sorcery of thorns & the mysteries of thorn manor (margaret rogerson) - ya, minor aro (aroace?) character (i have a special weakness for margaret rogerson bc i was at her book signing and told her i appreciated her writing aro/ace characters, and she wrote "aro/ace pride" in with my dedication lol)

aces wild (amanda dewitt) - ya, aroace sc, i LOVE him you don't understand. this is about a group of ace teens but gabe is my favorite, i would die for him. also i need amanda dewitt to write a million other books about these characters

hell followed with us (andrew joseph white) - ya, very minor aro character but this book is BRILLIANT, everybody should read it (after reading the trigger warnings)

wren martin ruins it all (amanda dewitt) - ya, mc is ace so that's the focus, but there's a side character who doesn't use labels and isn't interested in dating at all

a grim and sunken vow (ashley shutterworth) - ya, this is the third book in the series, demiromantic sc, absolutely loved his storyline (he appears in the first books as well but i hated him lmao)

and books i haven't read yet but am hoping to read during aro week (i'm therefore not 100% sure this information is correct):

city of strife (claudie arseneualt) - is supposed to have multiple arospec characters

every bird a prince (jenn reese) - middle grade, aroace mc

archivist wasp (nicole kornher-stace) - aroace mc, no romance

the black veins (ashia monet) - apparently no love interests!!! sounds like a dream

fallen thorns (harvey oliver baxter) - aroace mc

let me know if you have any recommendations! <3

[bakfoo]

I forgot that Star Fox was a thing until today and in some weird stupor I wrote a 1.4k word fic surrounding the first skirmish between SF and SW heavily influenced by @rainboopz 's Krystal is Kursed AU

This is a totally self-indulgent hurt/comfort fanfic and I won't apologize for it because I didn't realize how weird star fox command gets and I need to fix it before I explode

Krystal couldn't believe it. Her ship's HUD blared all kinds of damage reports in her face. With no choice, she wrenched the stick and turned away from the battle. She flew back in tatters.

"Days... Weeks... Months of training and flight hours and I still can't down him," Krystal whispered to herself, gripping the joystick so hard she swore she heard it creak.

She used every trick in the book and more. Even when she pulled out all the aces she had up her sleeve, she was countered at every turn. She held up against the rest of Star Fox just fine on her own, but their leader was different. It was cold. It was surgical. For someone who only knew her previous captain as a squadmate, this was the harsh reminder:

Fox McCloud was the deadliest pilot in the Lylat System.

Was he holding out on me?! Did I get weaker? Did he get stronger? How...?

Krystal slammed the canopy with her fist through tears of frustration. As if on cue, Wolf's face showed up in a small monitor. From the red glow on his face, it was clear that his ship was also no longer combat effective. A bit behind, her other squadmates were returning from battle, not faring any better.

"Well, Princess? How does it feel?"

Krystal quickly wiped tears of frustration from her face, too scared to say anything in fear that a sob would come out. Losing wasn't new for her, but this loss had so much more at stake. She glared at the screen without saying a word.

"It fucking sucks," Krystal choked out bitterly, not seeming to care that the entirety of Star Wolf was now fixated on her response. Eavesdropping, Panther begrudgingly smiled, Leon huffed and twisted his face into a frown. She was only a part of the team in name, but this was their unofficial induction ceremony.

Wolf grinned, knowing the exact feeling. He saw it reflected all over Krystal's face.

"Welcome to Star Wolf."

--

During the Lylat Wars, the Arwing was considered a next generation fighter. It was so above and beyond the competition that it boasted a higher kill count than the entirety of the Cornerian Militaty during the war. Even after the Arwing was reverse engineered by the Venomians, even after battles against the supernatural, and even after another war against the Aparoid invasion, the Arwing towered above the rest.

The gap, however, has decreased over time. The Arwing was a successful proof of concept, and everybody in Lylat wanted it. Its newest G-Diffuser system was now commonplace around the most basic cargo haulers. Its nano laminate armor was on all commercial shuttles. Gimble cannons were spacecraft standard issue. Even the Wolfens had all of this and more.

The only edge above the competition was the pilot. The Arwing boasted a 99.9% survival rate, with the near perfect record broken by none other than James McCloud. The reason why Star Fox is where they are is because their trusty spacecraft kept them alive and forced them to learn from their mistakes. Given their track record, Star Fox has learned everything and more when it comes to ship to ship combat.

None of that experience didn't make it any less awkward when Fox met his ex for the first time months and immediately shot her down.

Battles between ace pilots were always one or the other: decisive or extremely drawn out. When the first blasters were fired, from Krystal nonetheless, all moments of hesitation flew out the window. Further chatter included the usual battle call outs and insults, but it was over almost as soon as it started.

Fox peered over the side of the canopy. He watched as four Wolfens flew away from them, heading away from the now-empty battlefield.

"... All ships, turn to solar bearing 0-3-0. Return to base."

"Copy that." "Roger."

Damages were almost a guarantee when facing off against Star Wolf, but it's been a while since Slippy and Falco danced on a razor's edge in a dogfight. Landing on the Great Fox wasn't this tense since wartime.

"Damn. She got me good," Falco scoffed, a bitter sense of pride in his former teammate-turned-enemy. When he left his cockpit, He ran his hand along scorch marks on the main fuselage, scoring near critical hits to the space frame.

"Yeah, no kidding! It's going to take a week to get all of our ships in working order," Slippy sighed as he scratched underneath his cap. His Arwing was in worse condition with a wing tip blown off and a hole where one of its cannons used to be.

Wordlessly, Fox stumbled out of his cockpit and headed immediately to the Great Fox's mess hall. Slippy and Falco's gazes followed him until the doors were closed, and they exchanged a wordless look of concern over their captain, then peered at the last remaining starcraft.

Fox's Arwing was practically spotless minus a single scorch mark over the Star Fox insignia.

--

Following Peppy's retirement and the reduction of the squadron, it meant that Fox had to be on top of his game in every level. Thousands of hours were logged in the simulator, mock battles were held weekly between his squad mates, and he even learned basic engineering from Slippy. Star Fox no longer held the technological edge, and with the increasing pressure from fulfilling new roles and staying relevant in the Mercenary world, it was no surprise that Fox was at his wit's end.

He slumped forward on his chair, watching as the ice melted in his glass of bourbon.

"Hey Slip." He murmured, catching Slippy off guard as he tried to tiptoe around his moping boss. Slippy looked around for Falco, but realized he probably hit the showers (or whatever else the birdbrain was up to). He wasn't too experienced with relationships, so he let Falco do all the talking with anything to do with Krystal. After seeing the rough shape his captain was in, maybe it was time for a lighter touch.

"Heyyy," Slippy said slowly as he sat down next to Fox. His captain's eyes were sunken, his hair was a mess, and once he looked close enough, his inner shirt was inside out. It didn't take a genius to realize that even after all this time, he wasn't quite over her.

"What's up, Fox?"

"Slippy, am I a bad person?"

Slippy's physically recoiled from the question. He may not be the most sociable person around, but he even knew that this was one of the questions that you just don't ask your friends. Still...

"Are we talking legally or morally?" Slippy laughed. Fox returned with a look that would rival the unsettling gaze of a dead fish's eyeballs.

"Oh God."

"Let's talk about something else!" Slippy forced a laugh and pat his hands on the table, stepping yet into another conversation taboo, this time between Mercenaries. But when Fox saw that Slippy was trying to avoid the subject, he sighed.

"I'm sorry. Everything is just... A lot." Fox took a small sip, his face scrunching a little. Alcohol wasn't something he usually partook in, which made his attempt at calming down all the more pathetic.

"Everything including... everything and Krystal?"

Slippy took Fox's flinch as a physical "yes."

"Did I make the right call?"

Slippy took a moment to look at his friend and didn't see his captain, he saw a friend who needed help. He threw rank and hierarchy out the window. This conversation was friend-to-friend now, and he leaned in.

"Look, Fox. I know that you did what you think was right, and... Uh, I don't know. Most of the breakups I see on holo-tv have people not liking each other over time. But, like, it seems like you had too much responsibility to give her any attention she needed and that caused a breakup neither of you wanted."

"That is... Spot on, yeah," Fox sighed at the astute observation. He swirled his drink, this time more alive at the simple act of being heard out and validated.

"Not having Peppy is a lot harder than I thought. He always has an answer for everything."

Slippy smiled at the sound of his friend's name.

"Hey, how about we wash ourselves up, give Peppy a call, and we make ourselves proper drinks? How's that sound?"

"Sounds good, Slip." Fox smiled. Slippy returned the smile, sure in himself that he defused the delicate situation.

"Yo, is your ex a crack shot, or what?" Falco chimed in from behind, coming back from a quick rinse donning shorts and a plain white T-shirt. Slippy glared at him, worried that all the work just went down the drain, but Fox gave him a nonchalant shrug and downed the rest of his drink.

"Yeah. She sure is."

Phoenix Wright heart eyes

An unused animation where Phoenix has hearts for eyes. The animation was supposed to be used when encountering April May for the first time in court, however later on during development it was changed so that Phoenix's first meeting with her ended up being before the trial began, during the investigation phase instead during which Phoenix's sprite isn't on screen so the animation ended up not being used in the final game.

Starbeans Café crossover cameos

Unused leftover text and sprites suggesting that the Starbeans café was meant to feature cameos from different Nintendo characters instead of just E Gadd as in the final game. There is (mostly) finished text and animations showing Wario, Fox McCloud, Olimar, Samus, Excitebike racer and Link. The text corresponding to each character is unique and reflects their source, like Fox getting a call from Slippy Toad and Olimar speaking in narration.

Korean cats

In the Korean version of Super Paper Mario, there exists 11 unused stages, with an artstyle that doesn't match the rest of the game. These stages come with collision. A few of them have these cute anthropomorphic cats in them, which are non-interactable and don't even have collision. They may have been intended to be NPCs, but they're built straight into the levels instead of being objects placed in the levels. The cats don't match the Super Paper Mario style, but in my opinion, they don't seem to match each other's styles either. Four of the cats appear together in a couple levels and are named after various Super Paper Mario developers, but one of them appears alone in multiple levels, and its Maya group labels it as the player character. The weirdest thing is that these files only exist in the Korean version of Super Paper Mario and no others, which means they were added in after official release. The biggest theory for this is that some developers were starting developement for a new game using Super Paper Mario as a base. If this is the case, nothing has come of it, which is a real shame; the art looks really cute and I would've loved to see what kind of game this would be.

Star Fox Assault Playthrough

Fighter: Falco Lombardi.

Game: Star Fox Assault, Gamecube. First Released on February 14th 2005.

ENTRY WARNING: This post will contain major spoilers for Star Fox Assault, there’s no giant twists but I go over the story of the game as it’s part of what I wanted to comment on regarding it, so if you really want to avoid spoilers for the game then I guess don’t read through the whole of my section regarding my playthrough.

Fighter Bio.

Falco Lombardi is the ace pilot of the Star Fox team, matched in skill only by Fox himself. A blue-feathered Avian, Falco is the tallest member of the Star Fox team, however he prefers piloting to engaging in missions on foot where possible, excelling in the air. Falco’s past is somewhat mysterious, seemingly starting life as part of a gang, possibly known as Free-As-A-Bird which he may have been the leader of. It is speculated that Katt Monroe who has affection for Falco was also in this gang, however Falco would get irritated by her often. Eventually, Falco left the group at Fox McCloud’s request to join the Star Fox team, with his skills making him rival Fox for the best pilot on the team. When the scientist and leader of Venom, Andross returned to initiate his invasion of the Lylat System, General Pepper called upon the Star Fox team to help defend Corneria and take down Andross’s Empire, a mission Falco was all too willing to take part in.

As discussed in Fox McCloud’s post, there are three different timelines for the Star Fox series. This one will go over the second timeline which starts with Star Fox 64 (also known as Lylat Wars) and ends with Star Fox Command, although the previous paragraph is essentially the same event that occurs in all three timelines. In this timeline following Andross’s defeat, Falco grows restless due to the lack of excitement he’s finding in the Star Fox Team’s latest assignments, mostly tracking down the remnants of Andross’s Forces who don’t put up much of a fight. Falco begins arguing more and more with Fox during this period and eventually, following a distress call from Katt Monroe that Falco finds he goes alone to meet with her. Katt is with the Free-As-A-Bird gang and under attack on the planet Titania by a leftover Andross Bioweapon. Falco saves the gang and learns that Captain Shears, a Cornerian soldier is researching projects Andross had in development. Katt doesn’t trust Captain Shears motives, however Fox is called in by Captain Shears to attack the gang, telling him they are remnants of Andross’s forces. Falco in response gets into a dogfight with Fox, the two drawing and heavily damaging each other’s ships, with Falco admitting to himself how impressive Fox has become (or possibly how rusty he’s gotten). Fox uncovers Captain Shears plan, fighting a clone of Andross and destroying it, meanwhile Falco once again saves the gang from another bioweapon set on them. Falco believes Katt has found someone else she cares for within the gang and guesses they are growing romantically close, with Falco deciding to go it alone, telling Fox before he leaves to tell Katt and her friend to leave the gang life behind.

Falco’s whereabouts and actions beyond this point for several years are unknown, but a long time later, when Fox is engaged in a battle he’s about to lose, Falco reappears to help him, providing Fox with bombs to destroy the threat he’s facing and deciding to rejoin the team. Falco is still a hothead, however he seems to have mellowed over these years, becoming, with Peppy’s retirement as an active part of the Star Fox flight team, Fox’s second in command over Slippy and new recruit Krystal. Falco eagerly engages with the Armada formed by Andross’s nephew Andrew Oikonny, flying into battle with the team’s upgraded Arwing. During this battle, a new threat reveals itself, the Aparoids, insectoid beings that can take over technology and other beings, controlling them in their plan to multiply and take over the Lylat System and beyond.

Falco is a brash but skilled pilot who can be difficult to get along with, but also shows loyalty to his teammates, coming to think of them over time as possibly like family. Falco’s biggest flaw is his arrogance which has caused him to have confrontations with other members of the team, most commonly Fox and difficulty with authority, although he will never go as far as to jeopardize a mission due to this. Falco’s arrogance also is what’s holding him back from being the undisputed ace flyer of the Star Fox Team, whilst his abilities are possibly the best of the group, his temper and dislike to taking things too slow can lead him to fly into dangerous situations he has to be bailed out of, which leaves him somewhat ashamed, especially when he’s saved by Fox. Over the years Falco mellowed out however and whilst still remaining a rival of Fox’s he became more willing to thank him for assistance often berating himself for getting into the situation rather than his more sarcastic responses of his youth. Although he has left the Star Fox Team multiple times, Falco always returns when he’s needed most, perhaps out of seeking glory and excitement, but also possibly due to his bond to the team and his friends, although he would never admit it. Falco’s past is a mystery with much of it only being hinted at but never explicitly explained, something that makes him stand out from the rest of the team who have all had family members and their backstory detailed somewhat over the years.

Falco has the second fastest running speed of the team but also the worst endurance, meaning he relies more on hit-and-run tactics when fighting on the ground. Falco has one of the lowest skill levels when it comes to using the Landmaster, but the highest Arwing skill level, being able to lock on and target enemies in an Arwing better and faster than anyone else. Despite his amazing pilot skills, Falco does not do well when forced to use the Wolfen, the only character besides Wolf whose skill differs based on what ship he’s flying. Falco refuses to take part in land based or sea based warfare leaving it to the other team members to do so and flying support from the skies. Next to Fox, Falco is the character on the team most associated with the Arwing, using it in almost every single one of his appearances, including being the only Star Fox member besides Fox himself to fly one during the events on Dinosaur Planet. The only exception to this is the final entry in the Star Fox 64 Timeline, Star Fox Command where Falco pilots the Sky Claw, a modified Arwing with broader wings that have claw-like tips. The Sky Claw has a single laser, one Smart Bomb in its payload and a Multi-Lock. The ship’s sole weakness is its low health, however in return it has a higher Boost/Brake/Roll meter than most other ships, suiting Falco’s usual hit and run tactics.

 Friends: As much as he’s unwilling to admit it, Fox is probably Falco’s best friend, with him often returning to help Fox when he’s in need and forming a formidable duo in dogfights. Fox often comes to Falco’s aid, but Falco has probably come to Fox’s aid the most of the team, often arriving to give him powerups as well as in one case to rescue him when Fox was pinned down by enemies on the planet Fichina. Fox trusts Falco to the point that he has in the past told Falco he wants him to take over his role if he should fall as the head of the Star Fox Team. Falco is friends with Slippy although he will pick on him sometimes, especially for Slippy’s careless mistakes requiring him to be rescued often in battle. Falco seems to reluctantly respect Peppy, often raising his eyes at his advice but not being as insulting or sarcastic with him as he is with the others. Falco is fairly cordial with Krystal, not interacting with her very much although as a teammate still working well with her. When Falco first sees Krystal he encourages Fox to talk with her and seemingly supports the two getting together. When it comes to romance himself however, Falco often says he has no interest in it, which is to the disappointment of Katt Monroe, a former partner of his from his gang days who sometimes tracks him down. When it seems Katt is growing close to someone else he supports them getting together, although is hard to read with regards to whether he’s completely uninterested in her or not. In one of the many endings of Star Fox Command Falco leaves Team Star Fox to form a group with Katt and Dash Bowman, a member of the Cornerian Air Force to become Star Falco. This is also interesting as Falco’s interactions with Dash during the game are more demeaning and suspicious of him due to his inexperience and relation to Andross (Dash being his Grandson) although he eventually warms up to him it seems.

Enemies/Rivals: Despite arguably having the least personal stake in the conflict, and being more of a thrill seeker than focused on justice, Falco seems to despise Andross’s empire, often being one of the first to express his shock at their actions such as the state of Corneria City during their invasion and the pollution on Zoness. Falco never personally fights Andross only engaging with his forces, but he seems to acknowledge Fox’s personal fight and doesn’t try to take the glory of fighting Andross for himself from his teammate. Due to this and Fox being the one most often fighting the main threat the team are facing, the closest to Falco’s arch enemy is the Star Wolf member Leon Powalski. Whereas Falco is an Ace Pilot, Leon is a renowned Marksman and in contrast to Falco’s thrill seeking Leon seems to enjoy causing pain and suffering in his victims. Leon and Falco seem to have possibly met before their encounter in Star Fox 64, although another similarity they both have are their pasts being mostly a mystery. Falco’s response to most other foes is to simply want to take them down, not getting very personal in a fair few cases but still often being disgusted by the pain and suffering they inflict. Besides Leon, Falco’s biggest rival arguably is Fox himself, although this is far more of a friendly rivalry and Falco never really states a desire to outright battle Fox, merely trying to outdo him in missions and disliking being saved by him.

Crossovers with other Smash characters: Whilst the Star Fox series has had a couple and one cancelled crossover with other series in Smash Bros, Fox more often appeared in those than Falco. Because of this, there’s only really one crossover as such of Falco with another series in Smash, which is in Star Fox Command in one of the many endings, Fox and Falco decide to become G-Zero Racers, which is a racing league very similar (and clearly a reference) to the F-Zero league. Along with this, Falco can also fight Octoman, a character who is a racer in F-Zero and seemingly appeared as part of the Anglar Forces in Star Fox Command.

Why this game?

So, with the Star Fox series I had a fair bit of an internal debate about what games to go with to represent who. I always knew Fox himself would be represented by Star Fox 64, being the definitive and arguably best game in the series as a whole. For Falco I was thinking of going with Star Fox Command at first, mostly because barring multiplayer and the then unreleased Star Fox 2, this was the only game where Falco was playable at the time, however he didn’t fly an Arwing which was important to me when it came to this. Therefore, I decided it was best to go with the other option for Falco, even though in the main game he’s not playable, that being Star Fox Assault. Star Fox Command will be covered when it comes to Wolf since he actually pilots the Wolfen rather than another ship in that. Whilst my specific Smash Playthrough for this game was only the single player, I have played a fair bit of the multiplayer in this game over the years, usually as Falco, therefore I still feel confident in my choice here. The final note I’ll make is if I was doing this now, I would probably have gone for Starlink Battle For Atlas’s DLC instead, but as it is I’ve played through that for Slippy and Peppy much further down my list now, so I didn’t miss out on that anyway, still it along with possibly Star Fox 2 would probably be the best choices for Falco games.

My past with this game.

Before I start going into my history with Star Fox Assault the game, I want to go a little over Falco specifically. I mentioned in Fox’s post how a lot of Star Fox 64 was associated with playing the game at my Cousins. Well, we were all pretty big fans of Star Fox back then, also being Star Wars fans, as you can probably guess we’d quote the game constantly, something we still do when we meet up and play games to this day. Anyway, the three of us tended to have specific characters we’d gravitate towards for various Nintendo series. My older cousin would play Mario a lot in games where he was available, and for Star Fox he would play Peppy, his favourite colour was red so it would often line up. My other cousin’s favourite colour was green, he’d play as Yoshi in almost any game he was in, however there was another character I’d associate him with just as much, who he would pick over Yoshi if he was available, being Fox. Back in the Melee days, my cousin would play Fox constantly, and whilst I learnt later how big Fox was in Melee, I still believe he did so more just because he liked playing as Fox. Admittedly, I tended to jump around a fair bit when it comes to characters I use, I’d often gravitate to someone like Koopa Troopa in various Mario games, however when it came to playing Star Fox, I would always gravitate towards Falco, something I eventually began doing in Melee partially admittedly to combat my Cousin’s Fox (he was the best of the three of us at Melee) but also simply because I liked Falco for some reason. For the record, my favourite colour is blue so that could have played a factor too. The point of this long ramble beyond nostalgia for me is just to say of the whole Star Fox team, Falco’s always been my personal favourite, and I always wished there was some sort of multiplayer game or just one where you could freely play as the whole team. I guess finally Slippy was just if we’d have anyone else playing with us on rare occasions.

So, my history with Star Fox Assault specifically is a somewhat unusual one for me thinking back. Basically, I loved Star Fox 64, I played some of Adventures and sort of got into it for a bit but gradually lost interest because it wasn’t a ‘real Star Fox game.’ Admittedly now I realise it was good that they tried something different (the reasons behind that admittedly not being too positive and happy from the sounds of it granted) but I was more excited for the teased Star Fox game I read about in a Nintendo Magazine coming up on Gamecube and in the arcades. There was a screenshot of four Arwings looking like cleaned up versions of the ship from Star Fox Adventures with a classic looking mugshot of Fox in the communicator at the bottom. This was the last I ever saw of that game and years passed with no news on it. Finally after a long time I remember Star Fox Assault being revealed, it was due to have on foot parts as well as a return to the classic Arwing stages and the Landmasters return. At the time, I don’t really remember what I thought, despite being a huge Star Fox fan, I remember thinking of it as one of those games I would maybe check out sometime but wasn’t in a rush to play. The game came out and I saw reviews weren’t too great, saying the on foot parts weren’t particularly good which given how I’d wanted a return to the classic style of Star Fox disappointed me to hear as the majority of the game was on foot.

A year or two passed and one day I was in Toys R Us. In there they had a Gamecube set up to play, something that was pretty rare back then given how it was when Nintendo’s presence seemed to be diminishing quite a bit, this was late into the Gamecube’s run and at that point I was in Middle School, my most hated time in education. Most people I knew were dropping Nintendo or were people who’d never played their consoles, something that being the avid fanboy back then left me fairly isolated when everyone was discussing FIFA, GTA and COD. This was probably the most ‘console wars’ period I personally remember, Pokemon as a fad had practically gone from the playground, Nintendo was regarded as ‘kiddie shit’ by most at my school and my Cousins whilst still playing some Nintendo games weren’t as into it as I was, not really going for many new Gamecube titles and focusing more on PC. I saw the game currently on the demo system was Star Fox Assault and I decided to play it. The stage it starts with was Oikonny’s Fleet and it really blew me away. This was everything I’d always wanted to see in a Star Fox game, it made you feel amazing with the enemies all losing their minds over how you’re taking out their armada, giant capital ships you could blow up, it looked fantastic and admittedly I felt amazing playing through it in public, even if from what I remember there wasn’t really anyone watching me. Anyway, after playing that I decided I had to find out what was going on with this game and how I’d missed it. I looked up reviews in the magazines I had, one was a pretty disappointed average review, another however was a lot more positive, I remember them comparing the ground combat to Jet Force Gemini, a game I was a fan of back in the N64 era. This made my mind up, I needed this game.

So, sometime later I got Star Fox Assault, I don’t remember specifics, possibly as a present for my birthday or Christmas. I played through the game and loved it, for a bit. Eventually, I came to realise it’s flaws more, I’d realised it definitely wasn’t the follow up to Star Fox 64 I’d dreamed of, I also came to realise that there were a fair few things I really wished were different, more flying specific levels for example. With that said, despite it having its flaws, I still really enjoyed replaying it a lot, playing through specific stages, which of course included that Space Armada level that had impressed me originally. I remember at the time, either before or slightly after I played Star Wars Battlefront, a fantastic game that actually reminded me somewhat of this game due to being able to hop into vehicles and hop out whenever you wanted (in certain stages) which gave me a bit more of an appreciation for how Assault worked. Overall as a game, Assault is flawed but not terrible, definitely not as good as 64 but I hesitate to call it an outright bad game. There is one aspect however which I do feel is hugely underrated, something that I think this game really excels at, multiplayer.

I managed to convince my Cousins to try this game out, they weren’t overly enthused by the single player, my older cousin especially not liking a story element I’ll get into in my playthrough, but when we played the multiplayer, I think it rose up to one of our favourite multiplayer games on Gamecube, which is up against Melee, Timesplitters and various other classics. I think what was the best was just how free the combat was, you could run around on foot using various weapons, jump into an Arwing and try to hunt down other players from the skies or jump into a Landmaster running down foes on foot and trying to shoot Arwings out of the sky. Another thing we loved doing was trying to ride on the wings of other players Arwings, with us often making a challenge out of trying to pull off absurd stunts etc. I know this multiplayer mode isn’t one that’s talked about fondly that often, but it’s probably the most memorable part of the game for me and something I still remember enjoying to this day.

My Smash Playthrough.

I believe for this playthrough I did the normal difficulty, as much as I did enjoy this game it was never to the point I really tried to 100% it or anything. The game had really two main forms of gameplay for the stages, a free-roam style and the on-rails style that’s the ‘default’ Star Fox gameplay. For the free-roam stages you’re mostly on foot (barring one or two free-roam stages in space which are Arwing only) and can have access to three different forms of transport. The first of course is simply on foot where you use various weapons, the most basic and the one with unlimited ammo being the blaster, which similarly to the vehicles in the game can perform regular and charged shots. Others include a Machine Gun, Gatling Gun, Sniper Rifle and Rocket Launcher. The second form of transport in these free-roam stages is the Landmaster tank, which sports a different design here to Star Fox 64 being sleeker and thinner. This Landmaster being in stages where you can also be on foot makes it in contrast feel a lot more powerful than it was in Star Fox 64, where it was only used in two on-rails levels, it’s able to run over smaller enemies that have to be fought when on-foot for example and it’s charged blasts are far more powerful than any weapon Fox can use. Finally, there’s the Arwing which only appears in select free-roam stages. I personally find it a lot of fun to hop into an Arwing and fly around the stage you were having to walk through earlier, however the main issue with this is that with the speed and size of the Arwing in these stages it can be somewhat difficult to achieve much other than shoot down enemies in the sky. It is sometimes doable to take down targets on the ground with the Arwing but it’s more bother than it’s worth. The Arwing also is the only vehicle used in the on-rails stages which work just like the stages in Star Fox 64 with the Arwing following a set path but you being able to move around the screen to avoid enemy fire and obstacles etc.

The first stage was that one I’ve already gone on about at length, where you fight Oikonny’s Fleet, who are a remnant of Andross’s forces brought together by his nephew Andrew Oikonny. Oikonny was one of the members of the four person Star Wolf team fought various times in Star Fox 64 led by Wolf O’donnell, but left the team to pursue his own ambitions of trying to take his Uncle’s position as the new head of Andross’s Empire. The fight after the space battle goes down to the planet Fortuna which is an interesting choice as it has a fair bit of history in the Star Fox series appearing in the very first Star Fox game (the first timeline) as the ‘dinosaur planet’, being a humid jungle planet but not in Star Fox 64. In Star Fox Assault, Fortuna appeared for the first time in this second timeline as a planet with a humid jungle climate. Anyway, beyond all that, this stage is fairly good, it’s another on-rails Arwing stage where you fight off Oikonny’s forces, with a lot more ground forces now appearing in the various base complexes on the planet that you fly by. Oikonny is fought as the boss which I’ll detail later, however after his defeat the real villains of the game make their first appearance being the Aparoids, seemingly killing a defiant Andrew mid-sentence. The second stage following this is one of my favourite planets and one that when I saw it, I was excited for, being the planet Katina. Katina’s a semi-arid planet that has various military installations from the Cornerian forces and there were plans for colonies to be set up there. The mission debriefing introduces a somewhat new character, who was named in some notes in Star Fox 64 but makes his first appearance here, Beltino Toad, Slippy’s Father. Beltino tells the team details of the Aparoids and their abilities based on information learnt from an attack they made many years ago on a Cornerian fleet. This is the first on-foot mission where contact with a base has been lost and Fox is sent to look for any survivors. It’s fairly simple as the first on-foot mission but there are a lot of different enemies you fight, being all aparoids, from the simple ones who only take a couple of hits, to the annoying big ones who require a fully charged shot (or rocket) to defeat and the hatchers that constantly produce new enemies and are the objective of the stage. The main disappointment for me with this stage was the hope of seeing Bill, a character from Star Fox 64 who was part of the forces you fought alongside on Katina and I thought might have been the survivor you found. As it is, Fox finds no survivors in the base. It turns out the distress signal sent out was actually a trap set by another Star Wolf member, one Fox has a lot of animosity for being Pigma Dengar, the one who betrayed Fox’s Father to his death. Pigma steals the core memory of the Aparoid boss Fox had defeated, planning to sell it for riches. The Star Fox team immediately pursue Pigma, going to his most recently known location Sargasso Space Station. The team arrive there and one of the gang living on the station ask them why they are intruding on ‘Lord O’donnell’s territory’. Fox explains they’re just there for Pigma but on learning this is the Star Fox team the gang immediately begin to attack them. This is probably one of my favourite levels in the game. Fox and Slippy are inside the space station trying to take down key targets whilst Falco and Krystal battle against the gang’s formidable space forces outside. This is also the only stage where you fight the monkeys that made up Andross’s army in Star Fox 64 on-foot in the series. When the bar fills up too much from the amount of space forces outside, Fox must jump into his Arwing and help take down their numbers before returning back to the station. Slippy is actually one of the highlights of this stage, unlike his flying antics where he’s constantly getting into trouble, Slippy on-foot seems invincible and perhaps more concerningly, has a vacant stare and smile on his face as he runs around firing his lasers. It’s bizarre and somewhat funny to watch especially as he often yells “No mercy!” Once the targets are taken down the head of the gang, Wolf and his Star Wolf team return. Fox demands they hand over Pigma but Wolf says he’s going to make Fox pay for his attack on the station, leading to a space battle between the two teams. Star Wolf’s lineup this time is different to before, Wolf and Leon are still on the team, but the only other member of the team is a newcomer, Panther Caroso who flirts with Krystal and has the symbol of a rose on his Wolfen. Following their defeat Wolf admits he hasn’t seen Pigma for a long time, kicking him off the team some time ago for his greed getting too overbearing.

The next planet visited is Fichina the snow planet. The climate control centre for the planet has been taken over with many of the scientists within killed by the Aparoids. The Aparoids find themselves helped in this by Pigma who seems to have struck an alliance in the name of profit with them. This stage can be irritating, due to the climate control centre being invaded, blizzards make vision limited, meaning Fox has to go on-foot as well as using a Landmaster. (Which is almost required due to how big the level is) When Fox reaches inside the Climate Control Centre he is trapped inside with infected security robots. Fox cannot defeat them and has to keep alive long enough for Falco to reach him in his Arwing and rescue Fox. This leads to the first of a new mechanic in this game, wing riding. Fox stands on the wing of Falco’s Arwing and gains an exclusive weapon for this game mode, a fast firing plasma cannon that would be amazingly useful in the other on-foot missions but naturally is exclusive to this game mechanic. Fox must fire on all enemies that are aiming at the Arwing before they fire and shoot Falco along with Fox down. This can be somewhat irritating but it’s nothing overly difficult. Naturally despite Fox literally standing precariously on the wing of an Arwing in flight, armed with only a hand cannon, Slippy of course needs help from pursuing enemies at one point. After this Fox finally gets to pilot his own Arwing to face the boss. The next stage is Meteo, another returning location being the infamous asteroid field. Fox must pursue Pigma through this on-rails flying section. It’s a pretty fun stage being one of the very few traditional Star Fox stages in the game, taking Fox through a hidden base facility inside a giant asteroid. This base has been completely taken over by Aparoids with various enemies seen at the start of the game as part of Oikonny’s forces appearing as Aparoid infected versions. Finally, the boss is encountered at the end of the base, being a horrific giant face of Pigma now fully infected and assimilated into the Aparoid’s forces. The next stage is another favourite of mine, Sauria, the planet from Star Fox Adventures also known as the Dinosaur Planet has now been invaded by the Aparoids. Dying dinosaurs infected by the Aparoids can be found lying around the map and the mission is to take out the hatchers. It’s a fairly simple mission although not particularly easy, however my favourite element of it is that you have the Landmaster and Arwing available to you. If you’re skilled and have enough patience the majority of the hatchers can actually be taken out by the Arwing, with only the ones inside the caverns and temples in the stage requiring you to stay on-foot. This stage has no boss which whilst I like the bosses in the game somewhat helps make it a bit of a breather stage. Krystal joins Fox on the ground and similar to Slippy before is invincible I believe. Following the mission Fox and Krystal reunite with a grown-up Prince Tricky, the dinosaur companion Fox has in Star Fox Adventures and there’s a nice short cutscene with them talking for a bit before the next stage.

The next stage is interesting, the story is reaching its endgame now, but this is the Corneria stage in the game. Corneria in almost every other game is always the first stage visited but this is technically the final planet before the Aparoid Homeworld this time. It turns out the invasion of Sauria was a distraction with the main invasion fleet of the Aparoids taking control of Corneria City. General Pepper who has been leading the debriefings for each mission up this point is cut off in the middle of his debriefing here. Fox has to fight on-foot once again, but this time there are special radar jamming enemies that can only be defeated by a sniper shot when their eyes open. When these foes open their eyes however they shoot out a sonic wave that homes in on Fox, meaning you have to be quick and not stay too long in the same spot after taking the shot to destroy them. The Sniper Rifle’s a nice weapon to use, with the shot almost instantly reaching long distances which can make it satisfying. Notable enemies on this stage are infected Cornerian soldiers which is the only time in the series I believe where you fight against them. Their infected design is fairly unsettling too. Following the Radar Jammer’s destruction Fox is granted an Arwing, however before you get to do that it is blown up and Fox has to be rescued by Wolf of all people. Similarly to on Fichina, Wolf has Fox ride on the wing doing a harder but essentially the same thing as before. The boss of this stage also involves riding on Wolf’s wing, however it is quite a notable one, fighting General Pepper’s flagship which has been infected by the Aparoids with him inside it. Pepper can only control what he says at this point, not his actions and orders Fox to shoot him down, leading to an actually somewhat emotional boss fight. When Pepper is about to fall to his death following the fight, he’s saved at the last moment by Peppy who flew out an Arwing to help catch the General’s ship cushioning it’s fall somewhat. Pepper is still alive but in no condition to help anymore for the rest of the game. Next up is a stage that’s quite important for Smash Bros, being one of the few that didn’t return in Ultimate but was in Smash for Wii U the Orbital Gate. Beltino Toad seems to have taken over the running of operations for the Cornerian forces with Pepper out of action, and he’s come up with a plan to use a special bomb on the Aparoid Queen that will take down the whole hive mind, however it’s still being developed. The Star Fox Team along with the remaining Cornerian forces and Star Wolf must protect the Orbital Gate where this research is being conducted from the Aparoid forces who eventually begin firing bigger and bigger missiles. This is a pretty fun mission, it’s very similar to Sector Z in Star Fox 64, with you fighting various fighters for a while before moving onto taking down incoming missiles. It’s cool also the scale of the battle, with the Cornerian forces fighting alongside you (often getting destroyed as the battle goes on) and your team along with Star Wolf assisting you in taking down the missiles. What’s good is they do help take down the missiles so it feels like a group effort more than you being expected to do everything yourself. The final missile is huge being almost a capital ship (and funnily enough probably stronger than any of the other large starships you can blow up in the game) where you have to take out multiple sections of it before the whole thing is destroyed. With the gate defended, the bomb is completed and the Star Fox Team along with Star Wolf are able to travel through the gate to the Aparoid Homeworld, the final stage of the game.

The next stage is horrible, it’s I’d say the toughest in the game and extremely unforgiving. The planet of the Aparoids is actually pretty interesting, one half Krystal comments on as looking lovely, but then the other half is not only desolate but seems to have almost been eaten away by the Aparoids, with the inside of the planet being hollow, looking almost like a fruit that’s been devoured on one side by insects. It’s never said but this almost implies that this planet might have been inhabited by another species and taken over by the Aparoids since it doesn’t seem to be its natural state. Above the entrance to the core of the planet is a giant honeycomb shaped shield, with a city floating above it. This city may have been created by the previous inhabitants and infested by the Aparoids but there’s no clear evidence either way. Gameplay-wise, this city is terrible to deal with, there are many ways you can fall off which leads to an instant death, it’s got very long corridors and can be incredibly difficult to navigate. The mission is to once again take down all the hatchers, however they are laid out all over the place and all have shields which require you to also locate a shield generator before being able to attack them. To top all of this off, the worst part of his huge stage is that dying results in having to start from scratch meaning it can and I believe in my playthrough did take me absolutely ages to beat. I was going to save talking about the music for later, but I will say the music in this stage is also a big factor on how irritating it is. It’s not bad music but it’s pretty intense, fitting of the area but given just how long you’re there grows old fast. It is the final on-foot stage of the game so of course I get it being challenging, but this stage is definitely a huge test of endurance and patience which is the only stage I never want to replay. During this fight, the Cornerian Fleet along with Peppy and Rob64 in the Great Fox are distracting the bulk of the Aparoid forces in a space battle above the planet, one which results in 20% of the Cornerian forces being completely destroyed and the bulk having to retreat. When the shield is taken down the Star Fox team prepare for their assault, but just then, a secondary shield appears, made up of small honeycomb shaped segments. Falco attempts to blast the shield but his shots just bounce off and it looks like the team cannot continue, just then however, something flies in from above, the Great Fox absolutely covered in Aparoids. Peppy demands they all move out of the way and in one last ditch effort uses all remaining power in the Great Fox to fire at the shield. He then rams the ship into the shield shattering it temporarily. Knowing this is likely the end but there’s no time for anything more to be said, he demands the Star Fox team enter the core before the shields regenerate, which Fox reluctantly agrees to. The Great Fox explodes above them as they fly into the caverns below.

For the final stage, the journey into the core, this is an on-rails Arwing stage and definitely the hardest. I guess the easiest comparisons to make would be comparing it to the section before Andross in Star Fox 64, or if you wanted to go with a big pop culture reference, the interior of the second Death Star in Return of the Jedi. Tons of enemies will block your path as you fly through meaning there’s a lot to deal with, there’s also plenty of walls and closing doors that block your way as you go requiring you to fly through specific gaps. What’s cool is that Star Wolf and the Star Fox team are alongside you through the majority of the stage so there’s plenty of chatter if you like that going on. Star Wolf eventually sacrifice themselves by attracting the overwhelming enemies towards the end of the stage to chase them leaving the Star Fox team free to reach the Queen for the final battle. The Queen tries to get Fox to give up by using the voices of those who have been infected by the aparoids before, Pigma, General Pepper, Peppy, Rob64 and finally James McCloud all telling Fox to give in. That final one proves to be the Queen’s biggest mistake however, because using Fox’s Father to tell him to give up makes him remember his father’s actual words to him (or at least what he believed he heard) when fighting Andross, to never give up, and so the final battle begins. Following the fight, Fox fires the special bomb into the Queen, wiping her and the Aparoids out as well as destroying the planet. Fox and his team escape and then learn that Peppy and Rob64 also survived by using the Great Fox’s bridge as an escape pod. Slippy then asks Fox if he thinks others survived and he says he’s confident Star Wolf and General Pepper will have done so as well, leading to the credits. What’s cool is that the credits show each planet and go over what happened to them, how much damage they sustained in the invasions and what will happen to them going forward, some are somewhat dark actually with one of the tribes on Sauria being confirmed to have been completely wiped out. With 20% of the Cornerian fleet wiped out there were a huge amount of casualties also. The music in this game was fantastic, they did orchestrated versions of a lot of the music from Star Fox 64, but it was so good that some music tracks I never overly noticed in 64 like the Corneria theme became some of my favourites in Assault. Standouts to me are the Corneria theme, Meteo, Fichina and especially the Star Wolf theme of the returning tracks, and Sauria and Oikonny’s Fleet of the new tracks for Assault. The boss music tracks were also great and even if I had to keep redoing a battle would help make it less irritating to repeat as I enjoyed hearing them again, something that I noted earlier wasn’t the case for the Aparoid Homeworld theme however.

Finally, I want to go over the bosses. The first boss of the game is actually one of the most memorable, being Oikonny’s flagship. What’s cool about this fight is that it’s Andrew’s attempt to replicate the boss fight with his Uncle Andross from Star Fox 64. The thing is, just like Andrew himself, it’s a pale imitation of the original, making for a fun fight but definitely not a tough one. It’s also followed by the very first Aparoid fought in the game. It’s interesting that this Aparoid looks identical to the one Beltino Toad tells the team attacked and destroyed a Cornerian fleet some years ago, although it’s not said if it’s the same one. It’s a fairly average boss fight and sadly sets the scene for boss fights that aren’t as memorable as Star Fox 64’s due to a lack of dialogue or personality in the foes. A cool scene is that, following the defeat of this Aparoid, it’s revealed a whole swarm of ones exactly the same are arriving on the planet which leaves the Star Fox team having to retreat. It’s also odd despite this scene, that this type of Aparoid is not seen again throughout the rest of the game. The boss of Katina is fairly simple, although somewhat impressive with its size, it requires using the Landmaster to attack a weakpoint on its underside, which causes its legs to collapse and its saucer shaped head to become accessible which houses its core. The next boss fight is a familiar one, being against the Star Wolf Team. This is a fun dogfight with the Star Wolf Team doing their usual tactics, Leon targeting Falco, Panther being new targeting the new member Krystal and Wolf focusing on Fox. The battle isn’t tough being only the third stage of the game and this is the only fight with Star Wolf in the game, so that’s slightly disappointing, but it's still a nice end to what I consider a fun stage. The boss of Fichina is the first that’s in the standard level style where you can freely move around, but also allows the use of an Arwing, involving you firing into the cylindrical weapon when it’s firing its giant laser. It’s a fairly simple battle but not bad from what I remember. The Pigma boss fight is similar to a particularly annoying one from Star Fox 64, Gorgon where he will hide his face and use claws to attack you. Destroying the claws makes him open his face up to fire a laser at you, which is his weak point. This fight is far easier than Gorgon was, however it’s still fairly challenging from what I remember, also the expressions the Pigma face makes (especially when defeated) are certainly something. The General Pepper boss fight, despite me liking how emotional it is with him telling you to just keep firing on him is very simplistic due to being part of the riding the wing section of the stage. All you have to do is keep shooting at him when he’s approaching which keeps him from attacking you. Of course there’s other enemies you also have to deal with and he moves around a lot, but still it’s very simple overall. I don’t really count the final missile at the Orbital gate as a boss, and I already mentioned how to beat that, it is fun to take down though. The Aparoid Homeworld luckily doesn’t have a boss (given how frustrating that stage already is it’s a relief to get it over with.) so that leaves just the final boss, the Aparoid Queen. She has three different forms, the first of which is like a giant statue in the middle of her chamber, rooted to the ground with armour around her midsection. This armour when blasted away will reveal a pink gem which is her weakpoint and damages her when shot. Following her defeat in this form, the Queen’s remains are open for Fox to fire the special bomb into, which he does. The Queen however changes forms and begins the retreat, attempting to develop an antibody to protect herself from the bomb which would render it useless. The Star Fox Team pursue her to ensure that doesn’t happen, fighting her second form in an on-rails flying section. In this second form there are four jewel-like eyes that have to be fired at to reveal the Queen’s dragon-like head. Overall it’s fairly challenging but not very difficult. Following the defeat of this form the Queen desperately tries to escape in her final form, this form is vulnerable to hits anywhere, but bounces around like crazy, with one of its attacks being to send a tunnel of energy out that you must stay in the middle of to remain undamaged, and its other attack being a form of fire breath. This form is weak but can take you down if you’re at low health from the previous form so requires caution, still with its defeat the Queen is fully destroyed and with her the whole of the Aparoid race falls too.

In conclusion, probably my biggest criticism of this game’s story, and what I remember my Cousin also bringing up was, a lot of this barely has any weight to it. Every single sacrifice in the game turns out to have had the named characters survive, and almost all the terrible losses are basically mentioned in text. Now, this is definitely something that’s happened in a lot of other games, Zelda for example often has background events where thousands likely died that are mentioned in passing, but the difference is they don’t often have characters seeming to sacrifice themselves just to turn out totally fine in the end, or at least not to the level that they do in Assault. General Pepper, Star Wolf, Peppy and Rob64 all seemingly die with Fox often expressing great sorrow at what happens, only for them to be mentioned to be fine in the next scene, heck Pepper and Star Wolf’s final appearances in the game are them sacrificing themselves, they don’t even appear after being said to have survived. Does this mean I wish they’d have killed someone off? Well actually, normally I’m totally against this, and he’s one of my favourite characters, but yes, I feel either Peppy or General Pepper should have been killed off. In Star Fox Command Pepper is retired and doesn’t even appear so keeping him alive was even more pointless, whereas at least Peppy had a role that made his survival semi worthwhile. At the end of it all, sadly how rough the Aparoid Homeworld stage was leaves a bit of a bitter end to what was overall a fairly fun experience I felt, if flawed in a few ways, it was still a game I was glad to play again for my list.

Specific aspects about the game relating to Falco in Smash.

Falco is only playable in this game’s multiplayer, however due to the nature of the series, this is Falco’s only appearance outside of Smash Bros where he’s fully playable outside of a vehicle. Since Fox is the sole playable character in single player, every playable character in multiplayer plays the same just with different stats such as faster move speed or higher jump and better at certain vehicles, with Falco of course being best in an Arwing. In Smash Bros Falco fights very similarly to Fox so this fits for Assault, his default weapon just like Fox is a standard Blaster. The blaster can charge up like Fox’s or just do standard fire which is closer to his blaster shots in Smash Bros. Falco can pilot a Landmaster which shares the design in Super Smash Bros Brawl with this version in Assault. Falco is much less skilled at a Landmaster so the priority when playing as him is to find the first Arwing you can. The only other weapon that really comes close to something Falco and Fox use in Smash Bros is the barrier shield, an item that creates an energy bubble around them for a brief period blocking attacks, although unlike the reflector it does not reflect attacks back. Falco’s design in Smash Bros is closer to his Star Fox 64 and Command designs. In Assault he wears red which is only really close to an alt Falco has in Smash Bros.
