Star Fox 64

Its Andross. The robot is a fake body double, the brain is the real final boss which is why you fight it on the Hard path

If we treat Dinosaur Planet as canon (I guess we have to) he has really been a giant head at least once, and he was a weird ghost thing travelling around during the game. The brain on the hard route is probably actually Andross, and the first form on that route too. The easy route version then is just a fake robot version of the head. If we wanted to get into faggoty game theory mode, the easy mode Andross might have been the prototype for what Andross was actually turning himself into. I mean, I could understand him making a big Andross head to fuck with you, but I don't think he'd BUILD A BRAIN. He should probably be considered a Bioweapon at this point like the Mantis on Solar.

ONLY I HAVE THE BRAINS TO RULE LYLAT

Assault would have been more enjoyable if andross returned in some capacity, even if he isn't the main antagonist.

The easy path boss is obviously a robot. The hard path version is certainly supposed to be the real one, considering how many other bizarre bioweapons and experiments you fight over the course of the game. He had actual telepathy in the SNES continuity, and while they don't ever say it still has it in 64, it's safe to assume he turned himself into a giant brain monster to enhance his mental capabilities in some fashion.

My god, I have this book. It's ancient. I need to go down to my basement and find it.

I wish star fox 2 had something like this

During the tank sections I would just steer into a wall and put the rumble pack on my weiner

I imagine that in a world where it was allowed to come out at the proper time, we would've gotten all sorts of supplementary material. They didn't see fit to bother with it when the SNES Mini came out.

Theres that online manual on Nintendo's site but to better replicate the feel a fan project is needed.

Do people prefer Andross as a bioweapon via giant brain or a giant robot?

I thibk this thread is about dead. No one cares about star fox anymore

I’d say bioweapon. It highlights what a genius he really was if it’s canon that he turns himself into a gigantic floating head like some sort of demigod. You spend most of the game fighting giant robots as bosses anyway, so finally reaching him and discovering that he’s just piloting another big mech in the shape of his own head would be unsatisfying. That’s why when Andrew Oikonny does that very thing in Assault it further proves how much of a lesser Andross he really is.

I think what makes Andross so badass and a neat villain is that he seems pretty unrestrained morally or resource wise in the kinds of experiments he may do so whatever he creates and uses against star fox is varied and potentially endless in the types of things he may come up with next. So there's a sense of unpredictability, ingenuity and persistence I wish more video game villians had

>Zoness
Man, the sub sections in 64 sucked hard

What? Zoness was one of the best levels. Too bad the only way to play was to suffer through Aquas first.

Yeah, I mixed up Zoness with Aquas.
Aquas sucked
