Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… an anthropomorphic frog and pilot on the Star Fox team. Slippy was a childhood friend of Fox’s at Cornerian Academy, where they trained as fighter pilots. However, Slippy always excelled more as an engineer than as a combat pilot. He still proved indispensable to the Star Fox mercenary team, as he helped his father invent the Arwing fighter ship. An intrepid friend, Slippy works alongside Fox to defeat the evil genius Andross and save the Lylat System.
Personality… bumbling, helpful, and intelligent. While Slippy is a mechanical genius, he’s not the greatest pilot and often gets into trouble, which requires him teammates to save him. Still, it’s hard to stay mad at the little guy, as he’s the most friendly and eager member of the Star Fox team.
