Mission Accomplished.

[@Umbrella2]

Hope they port this to Switch! It was a fun game and looked great.

[@agentepolaris4914]

I wish that or a remaster

This had to be one of if not the best Starfox Adventures video on KZbin and I've watched a lot of these for over a decade. You got my awesome sub!

[@jiggylookback]

That is really high praise! Holy crap! Thank you so much! I hope you’ll check out my other content! I’ll keep it coming!

@@jiggylookback Definitely! I'm at the ending of your Shadow The Hedgehog video.

[@neonkenomi320]

The intro with Krystal always gave me more of Panzer Dragoon vibe.

[@retrorobbyreviews]

The mystery I found most interesting was how Andross might be tricking Fox into believing he's helping the sprites and the planet. Also very well done on putting this video together bro. I enjoyed going down memory lane again with this game. Keep up the good work :).

[@jiggylookback]

Thanks so much!! I’ll do my best! Got some more cool stuff in the works! :)

[@idkidk4334]

That music when you go to that icy waterfall area. The vibe in there is completely different from the rest of the mines. One of the good memories from playing video games

[@robertlauncher]

The shopkeeper’s annunciation combined with me not knowing what a scarab was had me lost for a while. “Scarfs? I don’t have enough? Where do I get scarfs? Why does he want scarfs? Where are the pieces of winter neckwear?” It still sounds like he’s saying scarfs to me.

[@jiggylookback]

LOL that’s actually really funny and I hear you

[@robertlauncher]

@@jiggylookbackI do like him, though. You don’t see a floating lizard… genie? Thing very often

[@renakunisaki]

Originally the shop was under the WarpStone, so that explains their connection. My thoughts about the staff are that the magic caves teach Fox how to use it.

[@jiggylookback]

How to use it? The question still remains how anything is connected to a staff from another world…hmmm

[@thecoldduvet7381]

WOAH A RARE RENA KUNISAKI! edit: I was originally going to say that there could be many magical atifacts in the SFA universe and the staff is one of em and shrines just unlock the latent power in said artifacts they might not be unique to dinosaur planet As the mana plant things also restore the staffs energy PS: Looking forward to trying out amethyst edition I just need to sort out some settings so SFA is flawless in the performance department

[@joniden2215]

Great video! I have been playing this game for 20 years and at some point, I answered a lot of these mysteries with this answer, "It's a video game, don't think too hard into it." haha

[@jiggylookback]

Haha it’s what I do

[@generalvic8250]

I have always loved this game, people saying it's a bad game just say it because they ecpect Starfox to be ONE thing and one thing only, so if it's not an arcade shooter, they think it's bad.

[@jiggylookback]

Yeah it was different and I really appreciate it

[@TheFoxMcfat]

Great video, love to see starfox adventures given some well deserved attention :)

[@jiggylookback]

Heck yeah! It’s my second video on it! I hope to do more in the future too

[@misterpayah7723]

Plot twist: Falco was actually just delivering pizza to Peppy & crew as part of his new job, and decided "Well might as well join in to fight Andross I guess" because he was bored

[@JasLamArr91]

Wait!? Has that Foxy Ladies calendar been in the game the whole time????

[@jiggylookback]

Yep!!

[@Subject_Keter]

I remember i was playing it recently and saw that.. lol. Doe i think it funny how you like barely see it and it like tucked away in shame. 😂 "Fine we put the sexy fox lady so no moms will get us." "What about Krystal?" "Who would like a foxy girl?! 😂"

[@ORLY911]

the scarab wells used to be for giving hints in the original Dinosaur Planet on what to do next(though is nonfunctional as of the leaked beta). The bafomdads also used to be called Dusters and were white in color.

[@jiggylookback]

Yeah I tried to get advice on my playthrough of DP and nothing happened. But it still belches lol

[@jamesfrank5417]

I don't think that Fox and Krystal eat the Bafomdads I think that they work similar to the fairies in Zelda games since both of them revive the player when they die.

[@interceptthis4141]

Interesting video this game was a big part of me and my brother’s childhood

[@jiggylookback]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching! I feel like this game needs more coverage. I grew up with it too and it was one of my favorite Gamecube games!

[@SpartanSchlick]

Thank you for doing a video on this game; has a special place in my heart!

[@jiggylookback]

That’s great to hear! I loved this game growing up! I have another video on it too and more to come in the future!

[@RJ_Phenomenon]

Really enjoyed this video my guy🤟🏾 Starfox Adventure was one of my favorite games on the GameCube

[@jiggylookback]

Heck yeah! Classic game!

[@X2011racer]

The most likely reason for Star Fox Adventures' existence is so that the Xbox would never get a Zelda clone that could outperform The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Sometimes, one has to wonder if Dinosaur Planet would sell well on Xbox.

[@gregorioguerrero1124]

The game became Star Fox Adventures on the N64, not on the GameCube, before the Xbox came out, when Rare was not for sale

[@X2011racer]

@gregorioguerrero1124 However! The game became Star Fox Adventures before the auction to purchase Rare Ltd. began or even concluded. By the time it concluded with Microsoft winning the auction in 2001, Star Fox Adventures was too far into production to cancel all progress, unlike Donkey Kong Racing, which didn't even begin development at all. Hence why the project had to be rushed and released before Rare was set to start work with Microsoft in 2002. Had Nintendo not interfered and Dinosaur Planet remained as is, the project would have been postponed after moving to GameCube so that the conversion to Xbox would take place after the buyout.

[@Joaking91]

​@@X2011racer presumably Nintendo knew they themselves were gonna sell Rare and scrambled to protect their interests?

[@X2011racer]

@Joaking91 Rare put themselves up for auction, and Nintendo was kinda blindsided by such an action. They decided not to partake in the auction because they believed they themselves already had the talent for game development, so Rare was unnecessary to them even as an independent studio. Not to mention the language barriers, butting heads over the Donkey Kong IP, and the executive meddling of Goldeneye, Pro AM 64, and Dinosaur Planet.

[@Joaking91]

@@X2011racer youre obviously more knowledgeable than me in the situation. My question would be if Nintendo may have had a sufficient heads up, even if as rumors, to stsrt protecting their interests and claim dinosaur planet for themselves in advance by slapping in starfox

[@GestaltKirin]

I think yes, they eat the bafomdad, and that that is also why the queen can't use it. She's an herbivore. Fox and crystal are carnivores. Ditto the mammoth. You get grubs instead of a root because its more convenient

[@christianoneal380]

Love this!!!! Felt like I was in middle school again 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jiggylookback]

Heck yeah!! Nostalgia blast

[@christianoneal380]

@@jiggylookback haha dude yes!!! Always awesome to see one of these after getting off a shit 12 hour shift 😅

[@Nonjola]

One of the biggest mysteries in this game has always been the inclusion of mammoths as dinosaurs. Mammoths appeared long after dinosaurs went extinct, so categorizing them together is puzzling. It seems the game developers wanted a prehistoric creature suited to snowy environments. Perhaps they opted for mammoths because, although some dinosaurs like Pachyrhinosaurus and Troodon were later discovered to be warm-blooded and capable of surviving in cold climates, mammoths were a more recognizable choice for players.

[@jiggylookback]

That’s very interesting. I actually didn’t know that! Cool history fact! I know they’re talking about potentially reviving mammoths which would be SICK!

[@ZwhatshQ]

It has been a very common phenomenon in fiction actually. Not sure if it's because the creators are oblivious of the fact or if they simply don't care because mammoths are pretty cool and still match the whole prehistoric theme.

[@elio7610]

It is also common for dinosaurs from very distantly separated eras to be depicted alongside each other at the same time in fiction, despite how they never even existed alongside each other. mammoths may be closer to the time period of some of the dinosaurs than some of the other dinosaurs were to other dinosaurs.

[@DragussySlayer69]

hard to say if mammoths existed alongside dinosaurs. it's clear you don't actually know anything about science since you bought into the evolution brainwashing

[@RootVegetabIe]

So have you been diagnosed yet or what?

[@mattb6522]

Awesome video as usual, Jiggy! It has been ages since I last played this game and I remember liking it well enough. The game did feel fairly rushed, but I think that was due to Rare having to move the Dinosaur Planet N64 prototype over to the GameCube and replace the characters with the Star Fox characters. I honestly thought the final boss reveal with Andross was a bit silly. I would have loved an actual General Scales boss fight as there were so few boss fights in the game! It would be pretty great to see a remastered version of this game on modern hardware with updated mechanics and a lot of the cut content back. I don't think I ever noticed the pizza boxes in the background when I was younger, but that is pretty amusing! Maybe they just had R.O.B. 64 pick up the pizzas and added the cost to General Pepper's bill? 😅

[@jiggylookback]

lol I hope they did bill General Pepper that’s funny 😂 Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@SorcererLance]

I think the easiest answer to most of these is they were remnants of when this wasn't going to be a Starfox story and they retooled a bunch of things they already had for the lore they had going on for Sabre and Krystal, as Fox got shoehorned in. To this day i kinda wonder how the full story was going to be, but i read an ending wasn't even planned yet by the time Nintendo suggested to make the game about Starfox.

[@TheBradRules]

I love this game. So many people dismiss it because it's not a space shooter. I don't even think half the descenters even played it. It's a shame because it's a fantastic action adventure. You did a great job creating interest around this misunderstood game.

[@jiggylookback]

@@TheBradRules it is definitely a unique game! I’ll be making some content soon around its N64 variant! I’m excited for that!

[@Nonjola]

I may have an idea, for maybe a future video related to Star Fox Adventure or Dinosaur Planet. Maybe you can create your own dinosaur tribes, name them and might even give them a potential role in this game.

[@jiggylookback]

Sounds really interesting.

Star Fox Adventures looks like a cool game, and I have played the Star Fox 64 game 5 months and that game was cool.

[@jiggylookback]

Starfox 64 is a legendary game. Starfox Adventures is an under appreciated game. I really dig it. Definitely worthy of a playthrough sometime!

[@MatthewKing-Alexander]

@@jiggylookback Yeah i definitely want to play it sometime.

[@TBoneTony]

Perhaps the Kazoa were ancient spirits and over time, they took a more faith based worship and when Andros came to the Dinosaur Planet he used that faith to his own twisted agenda to revive parts of his own body.

[@X2011racer]

Yet, in the original Dinosaur Planet, they were the ones who manipulated the SharpClaw and Drakor so that they could become gods over all life on the Planet. If Andross even overwhelmed the Krazoa gods, then what would that make Andross?

[@Totavier]

One mystery that maybe is not very important since it's more a thing that it always was wondered in my head is: What things Slippy and Peppy were doing in the Great Fox while Fox was working?, I mean I know Slippy is an engineer and mechanic but I'm not sure of what things he was doing in the ship since there wasn't stuffs to fix and meanwhile Peppy was watching Fox in the planet by the monitors, I wonder how it did?, it did Fox had a hidden camera somewhere or what?. 😂

[@jiggylookback]

That’s an excellent point. They seem to see and know everything going on.

[@xBassCoversx]

Enjoying this while I eat my lunch finally

[@jiggylookback]

Heck yeah! Hope it’s a good lunch 🥪

[@natanaeljustiniano5506]

Theory: The pizza comes from Pizza Planet from Toy Story. Though in Toy Story it is a company on Earth, I believe there is indeed a planet in Star Fox called "Pizza Planet"

[@jiggylookback]

That would be awesome

[@TheOnlyGHOST1015]

Nice video. I remember seeing this game when it first came out and I was confused watching Star Fox Walk around without his spaceship So for that reason I end up skipping it all together

[@jiggylookback]

Ahh shame it is a special game. Not the best but it has charm and is fun!

[@theuncalledfor]

The enemy ships in the Arwing sections look like the missile thingies that the spires on the final planet piece shoot at you. They seem to be under General Scales' control, perhaps a technology that ghost Andross whispered to him in his sleep or something.

[@jiggylookback]

Maybe so!

[@ILoveYouBillPro]

My biggest mystery is the faces and patterns found around the tunnel you blow up to get the white mushrooms for the Queen Earthwalker. I have seen nobody ever mention these!

[@jiggylookback]

Ohhh man you are in for a treat when I get it finished!!! Working on more entries for my Wandering Worlds series. If you haven't seen the Banjo Kazooie one I basically go through eveyr level and world of a game and look at all the textures and stuff that is easy to miss! This game is on my shortlist!!

[@indigoiozzi]

Not sure if anyone already mentioned it: But in Star Fox 64, if you defeat Andross from the easy route, you don't see his brain form and he appears laughing after the credits, suggesting he survived. I always thought that Adventures takes the easy route ending as being the canonical one

[@jiggylookback]

Oh that’s a great point! We do see his brain when fighting him in adventures too. Maybe that is the case! Thanks for pointing that out

[@WhiteSpears]

Another amazing video! Do you think you'll ever do one on the game "Glover"?

[@jiggylookback]

@@WhiteSpears oh that would be a fun one!! I’ve got a bunch of videos in the pipeline but at some point I’m sure I will!

[@rosseenglimmer8962]

One thing I noticed about Krystal’s outfit is that it had tri symbols that resemble the triforce or triforce pieces. It got me thinking if Krystal or any previous ancestors of her could have been part of the Royal Hylian guardians, or maybe if Fox and Krystal were part of the Keaton race back in hyrule. That’s just one connection to legend of Zelda I had for the Starfox series.

[@jiggylookback]

@@rosseenglimmer8962 yeah for sure. It would be really cool if they were set in the same universe. There are these GameShark codes that reveal Arwings as enemies as well in OOT. I seem to think there was something in MM as well.

[@rosseenglimmer8962]

@@jiggylookback the five masks that are the Starfox lineup is what you might be thinking for MM

[@jiggylookback]

@@rosseenglimmer8962 Actually no, that too, but I’m talking about the alien invasion on the farm. I swear there is an arwing there. It could be on a specific version like 3ds or something

[@rosseenglimmer8962]

@@jiggylookback ah I see. I didn’t find anything Starfox related there, but that’s a nice mystery.

[@rossruss6901]

I like to believe the monster in the well isn't a danger at all, it's just a god of the after life asking for Tribute In exchange for benfits like talking to dead friends and family. I also imagine Krystal's staff is an Ancient artifact. From Dinosaur planet, which is why there's power up spots for it.

New headcanon, Falco was there to deliver pizza to the team and return. He saw the GFH and decided to help out Fox.

[@jiggylookback]

Exactly lol

[@splat-trainproductions]

I kind of wish that Scales' Galleon was also modified to have the hangers of the Attack Carrier from the SNES/64/Zero versions of Star Fox and if Krystal was kept in the game, she would've dealt with the Star Fox bosses while Fox would deal with the Dino bosses, what do you think?

[@jiggylookback]

Yeah like flip em so she fights them I like that

[@splat-trainproductions]

@@jiggylookback And have both of them fight Scales, Drakor, & Andross as the three final bosses!

[@doodledrew7039]

I love the game, the mix of technology and magic is always a fun combo, but I also do wish Miyamoto hadn't put star fox in it, we could've had a whole new rare series that could have continued to the present if it weren't tied to the Star Fox IP. And it may have been recieved better since people wouldn't go into it expexting a standard Star Fox game. Still one of my childhood favorites.

[@jiggylookback]

I’m playing through dinosaur planet on 64. It definitely has something special. It’s sort of an in between Fox and Sabre build.

Wasn't Krystal's staff shot off her by a fireball and dropped down to dinosaur planet before the fight with Scales' ship? I may be mis remembering lol awesome video nonetheless and I never knew the shop keeper had a name

[@jiggylookback]

You’re correct actually. I’m surprised you’re the only one to point it out. I wrote my script and I was playing the OG Dinosaur Planet at the time and she keeps her staff in that. I just didn’t redo my Voice over 😂 you caught me. But the point still stands since she blasts with it when she immediately reacquired it
