Talk:Star Fox 64

message: i don't think the Blue-Marine attack sub on Aquas has the lock-on laser.   Instead it had unlimited homing torpedos that wrk just as well.  On multiplayer mode you can't use the lock-on laser either if you are on foot.  But it says in the gameplay section that all vehicles can use the lock-on laser.  Oh yeah.  It is also worth noting that you will fight Star Wolf at least once regardless of what path you take through the game.

message: What's the source for the world speed record info?  Silverfish 22:32, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
: I dunno. Can't find anything on the internet about it. I guess it should be removed then if no sources can be found. Thunderbrand 03:21, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
::I've removed this, as I can't find a reference anywhere either.  I have tracked down a couple of references to a Carl Hesler of Brookings, South Dakota.  There an article about a spelling bee, where he finished third: .  There is also a webpage called The Unofficial book of nerd records, where he is mentioned a number of times, including "Galaga High Score with feet".Silverfish 17:27, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
:::It seems kinda easy; I got appx. 33 min on Expert mode :D . And when I say approxamately, I mean using my computer clock and cutting out a 15 min dinner break... The other one, though, on normal mode; five minutes away, not counting cinemas... DarkLink Metroid 02:16, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The current records posted are according to the best speedrunning site on the web, speeddemosarchive.com.  I also go by Psonar on that site and I've recently submitted some new speedruns which are in verification right now.  When they are posted as official records at SDA, I'll make the update here.  My record will replace Mike "TSA" Damiani's 27:29 with a 25:41.  I've also completed 2 other runs: an Expert 100% run which collects all 15 medals in Expert Mode in a single sitting in 1:24:51 and an Expert Redline Run which completes the final ending of the game on the most advanced path (commonly called the "redline" path) in 35:30.  These runs are all on the NTSC version, so SuperCoolAl's time won't be affected.  When my run's are approved at SDA, I might need some help updating wikipedia, but that's my input for now.

replies: text: My speedruns have come out at Speed Demos Archive and I updated the Speedrunning section of the article to reflect this.  If anyone would like to improve the formatting of that section since I'm not very fluent in wikipedia tags, then feel free! Psonar 00:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Carl Hesler here. This was me as a teenager seeking fame and thinking I was worthy of it. (Actually it might have been one of my friends trying to make me famous.) Glad somebody could easily beat my records! 174.255.2.115 (talk) 21:52, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

message: "Do a Barrel Roll" was one of many proposed snippets of dialogue to be said by Optimus Prime in the Transformers movie, as part of an online contest. Is that worth mentioning, or does the fact that it's only a potential reference (as opposed to an actual reference) make it too obscure to bother putting in the article? 71.127.200.35 23:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the following edit.
*Recently, Scott Ramsoomair, creator of the webcomic VGCats, has created a webcomic of Starfox, between Fox and Falco, consisting of a legitimate dialogue using only quotes from Starfox 64, found here: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=223
The reason for this is that the section of the article this was in is about cultural references in the game, not about other material making refrences to this game. JONJONAUG 14:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I noticed a notification at the top of this article saying that it contained inappropriate use of first or second person, so I searched and found the word "you" used at the end of the story section in the spoiler about the Area 6 to Venom route.  I corrected it to be third person, but I think the writing could still use improvement. Psonar 00:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: A little surprized to not see a voice actor section. Is this becuase its hard to find the actors? Yes, some of their actors is list on the character article, but it would still to have a section.   THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 19:21, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

message: A better source than YouTube is needed for the StarFox 64 promo video. I know the video is true as I was a subscriber of Nintendo Power back then and received the video too. However, following WP:YOUTUBE, a better source is needed since the video is originally copyrighted by Nintendo. Douglasr007 05:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Promo Video 

message: As part of the GA Project quality task force, I am reviewing previously passed GA article. I'm placing this GA on hold because there are several issues. If these issues are not addressed, the page may be delisted.
* Sourcing- there are too many unsourced statements: for example: "Nintendo Power subscribers received a promotional video prior to Star Fox 64's release (the same tactic was used to promote Donkey Kong Country for the SNES as well as Hey You, Pikachu! for the N64) ", "After the credits, there is a bill from Star Fox (as they are mercenaries) which presents the number of enemies killed and multiplies it by 64, resulting in the amount of money due. General Pepper (who is offscreen) receives a statement based on the price (which varies from the number of enemies killed). If the price is below $70,000 he will say, "This is one steep bill....but it's worth it." The second thing he says, if the price is over $70,000, is, in a rather shocked tone, "Whaat?!" Then the player presses a button to stamp the bill, thus bringing the player back to the Main Menu.", "The music in Star Fox 64 was composed by Koji Kondo and Hajime Wakai. Some of this music was used in the later games of the series.", "The game relies much more heavily on dialogue than the original, and together with the cinematic sequences, they drive the story forward. This dialogue has also become the target of parody in recent years, especially the repetitive phrases of Peppy Hare, particularly the phrase "Do a barrel roll!".", et al.
* Cleanup- besides some grammar issues, some layout problems as well. Why does 'Vehicles' randomly come after 'Multiplayer'?

message: I noticed that the article now has the statement that if in the game, you reach a 1000,000 dollar bill, General Pepper will choke. I've never encountered this even after having this game for over a decade now, and I even ended up searching for it on YouTube to see if it's actually done, but no, there's nothing. But there is a source that says he does do it here » http://www.modojo.com/features/20110902/649/star_fox_13_facts_you_probably_didnt_know/ I don't know what to believe, but at the same time I'm just itching to see the truth behind this. • GunMetal Angel 04:50, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
