Slippy Toad is a childhood friend of Fox, and has been flying alongside him for several years.

Slippy serves as the inventor and mechanic of the team.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) Slippy has become one of Nintendo's most criticized characters over the years by both game players and critics. IGN has even called him an "annoying croaking pest".
 * 2) The irritation caused by his high pitched feminine voice on Star Fox 64/3D (this is because his voice acting is provided by female actress Lyssa Browne). This has led to a common misconception from players and critics that Slippy is a female.
 * 3) Slippy's lower piloting skills have also been largely negatively received due to the distractions his constant SOS pleading causes a player's gameplay, especially as every ally must survive in order to obtain a mission's medal.
 * 4) Slippy's inexperience and lack of talent while flying get him into trouble more often than any other team member, for which Falco taunts him mercilessly.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His inventions, from the iconic Arwing, Landmaster, and Blue-Marine to the Reflector and Blaster, have helped the Star Fox Team prevail over the enemy, making Slippy a major contribution to the Star Fox team's success.
