| | '''Slippy Toad''' (スリッピー・トード ''Surippī Tōdo'') is a childhood friend of [[Fox McCloud|Fox]], and has been flying with him for several years. Young, kind, and intelligent, Slippy serves as the inventor of the team, and would never back down from his fellow wingmates. He is hinted at being less athletic than the rest of the team, an example being in the ending of ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', when the team runs a long distance, Slippy slowly falls behind and, in the introduction of the same game, he is seen falling behind his wingmates. Also, in Assault, in the scene where everybody jumps into their Arwings for launching, Slippy ends up falling head first into his ship. |

| '''Slippy Toad''' ({{ja|スリッピー・トード|Surippī Tōdo}}, ''Slippy Toad'') is a character in the {{uv|Star Fox}} series. A childhood friend of [[Fox McCloud]], he has been flying with him for several years as a member of the Star Fox team being their mechanic. He has made a number of cameo appearances in ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Origin==
| | Slippy is the son of Beltino Toad, the Research Director for the Cornerian Defense Forces. Slippy and Beltino invented and constructed many inventions for the team, including the Blue Marine. In the gap between ''Star Fox 64'' and ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', Slippy and his father briefly designed aircraft for Cornerian defense forces. |
| Slippy is the son of {{s|lylatwiki|Beltino Toad}}, research director of the Cornerian Defense Force, and nephew of Grippy Toad, a mining operator. While not much is known about his childhood, Fox and Slippy were childhood friends. He would eventually join Fox, along with [[Falco]] and [[Peppy]], as a member of the new Star Fox team. He works as the mechanic of the team, fixing ships that had been damaged in battle, as well as inventing various gadgets like the [[reflector]],the [[Landmaster]], and the {{s|lylatwiki|Blue Marine}}. He also has the ability to analyze the shield gauge of bosses. He is a fighter pilot, but is less skilled than the other members. His first real mission was the battle of {{s|lylatwiki|Corneria}} where he was constantly tailed by enemy fighters and had to be rescued. He would participate in more battles to take down [[Andross]]. One of these battles can see Slippy try to fight the {{s|lylatwiki|Spyborg}}s alone, but if allowed to do so, he is defeated and left stranded of the planet {{s|lylatwiki|Titania}}. Fox goes to the planet to rescue Slippy, using the Landmaster Slippy created. | |
|
| |
|
| After the conclusion of the Lylat Wars, Slippy withdrew from active pilot duty to focus on being a mechanic. Slippy would give Fox advice about his surroundings and how to use certain gadgets. After the events on Sauria, Slippy returned to an active combat role, helping out in the battle with {{s|lylatwiki|Andrew Oikonny}} and the subsequent threat of the Aparoids, once again providing support by analyzing boss shields. | | After the Aparoid race was destroyed in ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', Slippy temporarily withdrew from the Star Fox team to spend more time with his newfound love. However, when Fox needs backup, Slippy is happy to come to his assistance again. He pilots the Bullfrog (ブルフロッグ), which has Plasma Lasers and high shielding, and is the only ship in the game able to carry up to three Nova Bombs, but has no lock and has only two boost bars. |
|
| |
|
| After the Aparoid conflict, Slippy leaves Star Fox and finds a female toad named {{s|lylatwiki|Amanda}} who he falls in love with, but he returns to the Star Fox team in several of the game's routes. One of the endings to ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Command}}'' sees the two get married and have many children, while others see him joining a new Star Fox Team.
| | Slippy made a brief cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', assisting Fox in an [[Event Match]]. He also created a cloaking device for Fox and [[Falco Lombardi]] for a mission in the game. Also, a secret taunt that only Fox and Falco can do on Star Fox stages features dialog between members of Star Fox, including Slippy, [[Peppy Hare]], and Fox/Falco (depending on which fighter initiated the taunt). |
|
| |
|
| Due to their childhood friendship, Slippy gets along with Fox the most. Fox is willing to save Slippy at all costs, even if it delays the mission and puts himself in danger. Likewise, Slippy always has a new gadget for Fox to try out. Slippy is also friends with Falco, but more as rivals. Falco frequently picks on Slippy for being a weak link that is always in danger, while Slippy thinks Falco is arrogant and a show-off. Slippy is arch enemies with Andrew Oikonny, with a similar dynamic to Fox and [[Wolf]].
| | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Slippy and the others can still be contacted via secret taunt on Corneria. However, when the secret taunt is performed by Fox, Falco, or [[Wolf O'Donnell]] on [[Lylat Cruise]], both teams Star Fox and Star Wolf will answer the call, sometimes during the same taunt. In addition, when [[Solid Snake]] uses his codec on [[Shadow Moses Island]] during a battle with Falco, he will contact Slippy, who has hacked into [[Roy Campbell|Roy Campbell's]] codec frequency. |

| Slippy made a brief cameo in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', assisting {{SSBM|Fox}} in an [[Event 23: Slippy's Invention|event match]]. He also created a [[Cloaking Device]] for Fox and {{SSBM|Falco}} for [[Event 23: Slippy's Invention|a mission in the game]] (though the existence of the cloaking device in the game comes from ''Perfect Dark'', listed as "TOP SECRET" in its [[trophy]] description). Slippy also appears in a [[Star Fox Smash Taunt|secret taunt]] that only Fox and Falco can do on Star Fox stages features dialog between members of Star Fox, including Slippy, [[Peppy Hare]], and Fox/Falco (depending on which fighter initiated the taunt). His appearance is taken directly from ''Star Fox 64''.

| |desc=Slippy Toad is the mechanical genius behind most of the Star Fox team's new weapons and technology, and just lately he's been spending the bulk of his time in Research and Development. He's also a competent pilot, but his enthusiasm tends to outweigh his technical flight skills. He and Fox have been friends ever since their school days.

| |
| In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Slippy and the others can still be contacted via secret taunt on Corneria. However, when the [[Smash Taunt]] is performed by {{SSBB|Fox}}, {{SSBB|Falco}}, or {{SSBB|Wolf}} on [[Lylat Cruise]], both Star Fox and Star Wolf will answer the call, sometimes during the same taunt. In addition, when {{SSBB|Snake}} [[Snake's Smash Taunt|uses his codec]] on [[Shadow Moses Island]] during a battle with Falco, he will unintentionally contact Slippy, who has hacked into [[Roy Campbell]]'s codec frequency.
| |
| | |
| Slippy's design in ''Brawl'' for when he appears on Lylat Cruise was updated to match his appearance from ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Assault}}'', despite Fox and Falco using their respective designs from ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Command}}''.

| |
| Slippy reprises his role in the [[Star Fox Smash Taunt]]s for [[Corneria]], [[Venom]], and [[Lylat Cruise]]. As [[Shadow Moses Island]] returns along with {{SSBU|Snake}}'s [[Codec Conversations]], he reprises his role as a guest character for {{SSBU|Falco}}'s conversation. The Corneria and Venom conversations were updated to use Slippy's ''Star Fox 64 3D'' appearance.
| |
| | |
| ===Spirit===
| |
| Slippy also appears as an Ace-class [[support spirit]]. He can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Xenoblade series)|Lin}}, {{h2|List of spirits (Donkey Kong series)|Winky}}, one Neutral type, and one support type.
| |
| | |
| In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Slippy is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. Slippy's spirit is located in the [[Power Plant]] sub-dungeon of [[The Light Realm]]. Slippy is also one of two spirits needed to repair the [[Great Fox]] in order to access the outer space area, the other being [[ROB 64]].
| |
| | |
| Slippy's Spirit Battle uses a {{SSBU|Greninja}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Frigate Orpheon]] stage. He is fought along with a {{SSBU|Fox}} puppet fighter. During the battle, Greninja must be defeated in one-and-a-half minutes while he tends to avoid conflict, referencing how Slippy is often attacked by enemies and must rely on Fox to help him.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *On the name entry screen's random option, one of the randomly generated names is Slippy.
| |
| *In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', one of Fox's alternate costumes is based on Slippy's outfit from ''Star Fox Assault''.
| |
| *Since the dialog for {{SSBU|Snake}}'s [[Codec Conversations]] is reused between ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', Slippy is the only guest character for another universe's [[Smash Taunt]] to reprise such role between two games as [[Palutena's Guidance]] featured different guest characters between games.
