[GAME ON] STARFOX 64 -- "All One-Liners, report in!"

a.k.a. "Lylat Wars" for those in PAL-land.
So I've come to realize that it's been quite a long time since I've ever popped in the cartridge of this badass game to the N64, and I'm guessing the same could be said for many of you as well. And as much fun as the game is in single-player, I thought we could spice things up a little and try to really crank up the intensity with a little "GAME ON"/High-score competition.
Now as far as I know, there aren't any major differences between NTSC and PAL, and of the N64 and Virtual Console versions. If I'm wrong, please correct me. But for now, let's just stick with high scores of Normal and Expert difficulties.
NORMAL:
1) 1780 -- MetaHybrid
2) 1544 -- APZonerunner
3) 1516 -- WotanAnubis
4) 1489 -- FyreWulff
5) 1426 -- Zampano
6) 1402 -- Slicer
7) 1319 -- TheCrumblyCracker
8) 1279 -- BTP
9) 1246 -- Zeromus
10) 1218 -- Mars
EXPERT:
1) 1716 -- Paziel_pm
2) 1504 -- MetaHybrid
3) 1408 -- homargoodness

Of course, what's just as awesome as the game itself is the legendary collection of one-liners used in the game. If there are some that just want to make use of those one-liners for comedic effect (....I mean....it's just inevitable), well, I've got you covered as well.
EVERY ONE-LINER IN STARFOX 64! OH, YES!
(I just KNOW there's going to be something using "Cocky little freaks!" and "I can't leave Slippy hangin'!")
So, let's prevent Andross from destroying the galaxy by blowing things up by taking up the role of Fox and the gang, who get into their Arwings and save the galaxy by........blowing......things..up.WAIT! How is this not a plot-hole?
Oh screw it, let's just have some fun and play for some high-scores!
LET'S GO!
RUMBLE PAK! SHIT YEAH!

My greatest moment was by far on Fortuna, when I killed Wolf just as the clock hit zero. Got a medal for that, too.

But I'm better.*
*may vary
it was one of the greatest birthdays EVER. Off the top of my head, only 9/9/99 was better.
StarFox 64, IMO, is the best N64 game. Period.
EDIT: Why the fuck can't nintendo make a good sequel? Just give us more of the same and it'll be awesome.
God, seriously. They had a fantastic formula to work with, and then they shit all over it for some reason. This game is pretty much the only reason I have an N64 hooked up right now.
I don't know if I'll have the chance to participate in this fine and noble high score competition, but I'm proud to see this thread.

You bet your ass it does.
Shmups never age badly.
The original Star Fox did.
But Star Fox 64 is still amazing.
The hell it did. The original StarFox is still great, and is one of the best 3D shmups of all time.
I will say it was great back then, and certainly merits that spot, but bad 3D doesn't age well like 2D does, and at this point in time, Star Fox is certainly bad 3D.
EDIT: Different thread but TSR I downloaded the NG Sigma demo and am about to try it out.
But it's worth it.
That's because it was the first game to utilize the rumble pack. In order for the peripheral to be successful, Nintendo needed to make it popular.
that's why there were videos such as this:

I must have watched that about a million times as a kid.

I'm thinking of Katina and Area 6.

I've been thinking about hooking up the N64 to play this recently, then there's this thread. Funny how that works.
I didn't play Starfox 64 much, but my brother used to spend entire Saturdays on it and I'd watch him.
I can't BELIEVE I lost to this SCUM!
I DON'T BELIEVEEEEE IT
When you fight them in 64, it's genuinely an epic battle.
While this option would be appreciated in the later titles in the series, Starfox 64 had some pretty awesome voice work. Every title since has been a disappointment in this regard.
What the hell is a "Shump"?
We got so good at the game, I could beat the first level with my eyes closed probably.
I don't know what a Shump is. I know what a Shmup is.
Daddy screamed reeeeal good when he died!
Greatest path in Star Fox 64 is to lose to star wolf on Fortuna on the easy path, then to hit the warp in Sector X, which sets up a truly epic rematch in Venom, where Star Wolf is even more powerful than before.
(That's the one with the Giant Saucer, right?)
Also, fuck the sun.
Meh. That level is boring.
I'm probably alone on that though.
what? Cyborg Star Wolf?
Man, the Star Wolf battle theme is stuck in my head.
Venom through Area 6 has all the SW dudes with cybernetic bits hanging off them.
