14. Choose Your Torture Slippy
ID: 02B5-0000-0028-8095 Ah, Slippy the Toad. The number of times I've laid down my life to bail you out of sticky situations in Starfox, and then had to listen to you squeaking in that shrill child-voice as you thanked me for saving you for the 10th time on a single level. This level effectively lets you take your years of frustration out on one of Nintendo's most irritating creations, throwing him into a particularly malicious version of Bowser's castle. Easy sections of the level are played by Mario, but whenever you encounter a meat-grinder, a Chain Chomp, or another other deadly obstacle, Slippy jumps in to get obliterated. Slippy doesn't even get the satisfaction of completing this torture dungeon. When he crawls, battered and bruised, to the end of the level, Fox McCloud jumps in to finish the job. Sadistic? yes. Satisfying? Absolutely.
