The Star Fox 64 Restored OST is one of the many results following the "Gigaleaks of Nintendo" from July 24th and 25th, 2020. Found in the files of the game were not only all of the uncompressed voice lines, but also uncompressed instrument samples for the music, as well as the MIDI sequences used in the game to perform the music. Using the instrument samples and MIDI sequences, I was able to recreate the entire soundtrack to Star Fox 64 in the highest quality we have ever heard.

Slippy's not such a screw-up after all.

[@Lindh0lm]

Thanks a lot, Peppy!

I'll take the sky any day.

Sheesh, Falco! You, too?

So good. So much atmosphere. Not the greatest level gameplay wise, but my favourite purely for the setting and music.

[@SMEARGLEX75]

I really like how the deeper one goes in the Abyss of Aquas, it gets completely dark to the point one has to shoot a Torpedo to barely see anything.

[@xexezinho1]

Well, you don't actually go deeper, if u aim upwards it's always the same water level

[@Veranek]

I might be the only one thinkg this, but Star Fox OST is the most (or one of the most) underrated soundtracks Koji Kondo has composed.

[@Literallyjustskyler]

this song has lived in my head for 23 years now

[@rmissing3361]

I love the 8-bit part, something that we never hear in-game, I'm surprised, hope we could get big amount of restored ost of N64 era

Slippy: Wow! Look at that! It's beautiful!

[@idluis]

Yeah I came for this.

*SLIPPY:* How's the Blue-Marine, Fox? *PEPPY:* It's a good thing you prepared, Slip! *FALCO:* This thing will never hold together!

[@Valoe7]

Oh man there are parts I've never heard before. Love this song even more

[@aeroblu2002]

Wow...there's stuff in this song that's literally mute in the actual compressed version.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

I've heard remastered versions without those bits :o

[@AWISECROW]

@@BlaxeFrost-X Amazing isn't it?

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

@@AWISECROW It is...

[@KooriGraywolf]

I think the dude doing the restorations took some creative liberties as well. In the comments for Corneria he mentioned he manually added a kick drum in some bits

This sounds amazing on my Sony XM4 headphones.

[@WalYT]

No clue why, but this song popped up in my recommended one day as the only Star Fox song I've gotten, and ever since it's captivated me. It's mysterious, foreboding, like a surrounded in fog kind of feeling. In a sense, it feels hopeful as well. Not sure why this song in particular invokes so much for me, but it's been a relaxing tune to chill with every few nights

Fox: I'm sending the data to you, guys.

[@lancecurry7538]

*FOX:* I'm gonna check out the bioweapon!

[@Airmaster360]

So glad my dad bought me and my sis this game back in later 1997 couple months after buying us Nintendo 64

[@ashleywallace83]

Beautiful track, OOT water temple vibes, I use it for healing and recovering.

[@Veranek]

It makes sense. This OST had to have been composed around the same as OoT OST.

Falco: Shoot a torpedo to help you see!

[@JohnThePikachu]

Peppy: looks like the pollution has started…

[@kevinkaslana9060]

*SLIPPY:* It's awful...

[@rexpro02]

this version is incredible! !!

[@kevinkaslana9060]

I dreaded this level with a goddamn passion. It was never my favorite and I always avoided this level every goddamn time.

[@nomado.3855]

It is actually one of my favorites, th water levels in this kind of atmosphere are quite creepy.

[@BlaxeFrost-X]

And there I was as a teen trying so HARD to get this the level

[@SonicMaster519]

I loved this level so much purely for the atmosphere, but me and my little brothers would always call it (and still call it) the "Arthritis Level" because if you want that level, it just comes down to how good you are at spamming Z, A, and B at the same time.

[@KairuHakubi]

keep shootin', we've got lotsa torpeedas!

[@JohnThePikachu]

You’re the best, Slippy!

[@kevinkaslana9060]

*SLIPPY:* Thanks, Peppy!

[@JamieSwitzer]

almost sounds like Big Trouble In Little China ceremony music esque here.

[@magicjohnson3121]

Yeah I hear that

[@JohnThePikachu]

Star Fox, I want you to take out the enemy bio weapon.

[@kevinkaslana9060]

Yes, sir. Deploy the Blue Marine!

Peppy: Looks like the pollution has started!

[@malignantpootis213]

Slippy: "It's, awful..."

[@gokuonice1940]

"Keep Shooting! We got lots of torpedoes!"

[@chilldedede]

I'm Gonna Check Out The Bioweapon.

[@indigoiozzi]

The slight differences are only the result of the ost not being compressed, or are the restored songs mixed slightly differently? Like this instrument that starts at 0:19 on the left side, sounds way too loud compared to the original

[@Ostnizdasht206]

I don't remember this song because could never get to this stage..

[@legokingcandy]

This level is always kinda suspect

[@wolferthehawkeye]

Is there a way I can get the sound font with the high quality instrument samples? 🙏🏻

[@xysuke6505]

Awesome music. Top 10 worst water levels ever.
