- “Enemy shield analyzed!”
- —
Slippy Toad is a childhood friend of Fox McCloud and has been flying alongside him for several years. He serves as the inventor and mechanic of the Star Fox team. The excitable amphibian member of the Star Fox Team, Slippy may seem like a hyper-doofus and his inferior piloting skill leaves a lot to be desired, but he has excellent mechanical know-how as he specialized in engineering at the Cornerian Academy and learned a lot from his father, Beltino Toad, being the Director of Engineering at Space Dynamics Co. Ltd. As a member of the Star Fox Team, Slippy has invented a wide variety of gadgets and vehicles. His inventions, from the Arwing, Landmaster and Blue-Marine to the Reflector and Blaster, have helped the Star Fox Team prevail over the enemy, making Slippy a major contribution to the Star Fox team's success. Slippy's main role on the battlefield is providing a Shield Gauge to determinate the health of a boss, but only if he is present to do so.
Slippy typically appears in all Star Fox games to date, as well as the comics and the Star Fox Zero promotional anime, as a supporting protagonist. He also appears as a background character in all Super Smash Bros. games, starting with Melee.
Biography
In his childhood, Slippy was schoolmates with Fox, and possibly Falco. As he was the son of Beltino, the Director of Engineering of Space Dynamics, Slippy learned a great many things from his father and the two worked together for Cornerian R&D to invent and construct many inventions for the Cornerian Defense Force, and Star Fox Team.
While Slippy was also classmates with Fox at the Cornerian Defense Force Academy and training to be a fighter pilot, Fox learned that his father, James McCloud, had been betrayed by Pigma Dengar, and presumably murdered by Andross. Fox then convinced Slippy to join up with him and Peppy to form a new Star Fox Team, as the team inventor and mechanic.
Trivia
- In the original "Star Fox", Slippy had a unique speech impediment - he croaks in the Japanese version and stutters in the English translation. This was also true in the Nintendo Power comics adaptation and the original game's sequel, but the quirk was removed in later appearances.
- Slippy is also the only character (apart from Fox) to respond directly to Peppy in Star Fox 64.
- On the Shadow Moses Island stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, if the conversation is interrupted by the opposing player, Slippy will react to Snake getting KO'd in same manner as Snake's allies do in the Metal Gear series.
