13The Star Fox Team
Fox has three companions who will accompany and aid him on missions.
Peppy (P)
Peppy offers strategic advice on how to proceed in the level and on the enemies’ weak points.
Slippy (S)
Slippy provides an analysis of the boss’s shields during a boss fight. When he is not flying with the team, the boss’s shield gauge (p. 9) does not appear on screen.
Falco (F)
Falco holds the key to an alternative route. Help him early on, and the likelihood of branching to the more difficult route becomes greater.
