< Star Fox 64
Star Fox 64/YMMV
- Best Level Ever: Fichina, Katina, Bolse, Area 6, Venom, Zoness, the list goes on.
- Complete Monster: Andross, the depraved Big Bad himself, definitely qualifies.
- There's also Pigma Dengar, who sells out his friends on the Star Fox team for money and has a fairly sadistic personality, as evidenced by the quote below.
Pigma: Daddy screamed REAL good before he died!
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Redirecting the train on Macbeth so that it blows up the factory.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: Quite a few. Star Wolf's theme is probably the most famous.
- Narm Charm: "Ohhhhhh shoot!"
- Serial Numbers Filed Off: The Sauceror boss of Katina is almost exactly like the flying saucers of Independence Day, right down to the base-destroying laser that requires the core to be exposed.
- Tear Jerker: The good ending.
- That One Boss
- The Golemmech, the penultimate boss on Venom's easy route. The pillars that come out of the wall can be incredibly hard to dodge, and it gets even harder if only one part of him is left to attack.
- Sarumarine, the boss of Zoness. He can only be damaged by bombs until all his parts are off, it's easy to attack the parts in the wrong order, and his morning star can easily clip your wings.
- The battle with Star Wolf on Venom 2. Much harder than on Fichina/Bolse. Continuing Is Painful, indeed, as your hyper lasers can quickly down two of the fighters before Wolf starts annoying you. The encounter is also much more difficult if you're missing team members, since Star Wolf members go after you if your corresponding wingman is down.
- That One Level: Sector Z: it's an Escort Mission of sorts, where you have to protect the Great Fox from incoming missiles. It's swarming with Invader-III fighters (which have the best AI of all the enemies in the game bar Star Wolf or the Bolse Fighters) which means you'll constantly be listening to your wingmen calling you for help and it has just enough junk on the outskirts to ensure that you'll almost certainly crash into something and rip off your wings. Worst still is that if you're going for the medal, your wingmen can actually steal your points if they're the one to land the last hit on the missile: and if you come from Zoness you'll have to contend with Katt kill-stealing from you as well.
- Aquas. There's only one way to get to it, the level is slow (and underwater) and due to how the Blue-Marine's missile work (locking on to the first target your crosshairs hits, and you can only fire one missile at a time), it's difficult to get the required 150 hits to earn the medal for the stage. On the other hand, it's significantly easier to get a high score than Katina or Fichina, both of which are all-range missions.
