Slippy Toad (スリッピー・トード,Slippy Toad) is a character in theStar Fox series. A childhood friend ofFox 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 inSuper Smash Bros. games.
Origin[edit]
Slippy is the son ofBeltino 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 withFalco andPeppy, 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 thereflector,theLandmaster, and theBlue 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 ofCorneria where he was constantly tailed by enemy fighters and had to be rescued. He would participate in more battles to take downAndross. One of these battles can see Slippy try to fight theSpyborgs alone, but if allowed to do so, he is defeated and left stranded of the planetTitania. 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 withAndrew Oikonny and the subsequent threat of the Aparoids, once again providing support by analyzing boss shields.
After the Aparoid conflict, Slippy leaves Star Fox and finds a female toad namedAmanda 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 toStar Fox Command sees the two get married and have many children, while others see him joining a new Star Fox Team.
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 andWolf.
InSuper Smash Bros.[edit]
Slippy was considered for inclusion as an alternate costume for Fox, alongsideFalco andPeppy.[2]
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
As a background character[edit]
Slippy made a brief cameo inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, assistingFox in anevent match. He also created aCloaking Device for Fox andFalco fora mission in the game (though the existence of the cloaking device in the game comes fromPerfect Dark, listed as "TOP SECRET" in itstrophy description). Slippy also appears in asecret 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 fromStar Fox 64.
Trophy[edit]
- Slippy Toad
- 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.

- Starwing
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As a background character[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Slippy and the others can still be contacted via secret taunt on Corneria. However, when theSmash Taunt is performed byFox,Falco, orWolf onLylat Cruise, both Star Fox and Star Wolf will answer the call, sometimes during the same taunt. In addition, whenSnakeuses his codec onShadow Moses Island during a battle with Falco, he will unintentionally contact Slippy, who has hacked intoRoy Campbell's codec frequency.
Slippy's design inBrawl for when he appears on Lylat Cruise was updated to match his appearance fromStar Fox Assault, despite Fox and Falco using their respective designs fromStar Fox Command.
Trophy[edit]
- Slippy Toad
- A top-notch mechanic with less-than-stellar battle skills. Respected for his talent, he joins the Star Fox team and shows his mechanical genius in everything from vehicle maintenance to weapons development. Slippy often holds the team back with his clumsiness but makes up for it with his likeable personality and morale-boosting presence.

Trophy[edit]
- Slippy Toad
- This mechanic is a valued team member, analyzing enemy shields and spotting mines. That might seem like a job for a calm, cool soldier, but Slippy's more of the frantic, panicky type. This behavior only annoys the Star Wolf team...right? He and Fox are old classmates and good friends.
- :Star Fox (03/1993)
:Star Fox 64 (07/1997)- This mechanic is a valued team member, and has a knack for analysing shields and spotting mines. That might seem like a job for a calm, cool soldier, but Slippy's exactly the opposite. The Star Wolf team finds him a bit grating, but nobody else thinks that... Right? He graduated from the same school as Fox, and those two are close friends.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a background character[edit]
Slippy reprises his role in theStar Fox Smash Taunts forCorneria,Venom, andLylat Cruise.
