Medals are awarded for clearing a moderately high number of enemies on each level while keeping all wingmates alive. While there's a lot to Star Fox 64 (uber-fan speaking here), the meat of this game is in shooting up hundreds of enemies. Star Fox 64 is not a naturally awesome game to speedrun, but while I think I did justice to the "out of the box" run, I think this run truly does justice to the game itself. This run category, in my opinion, is the best speedrun the game has to offer. You go down in my book as "The Hylian Who Saved Lylat." Sorry to have owned your any% time TSA, but thanks for first running the game, because that run may have been the first speedrun I ever found. I know he was a big Star Fox fan even though he's mostly known for Zelda.


I'd like to say thanks again to TSA for running the game first. Thanks also to MatrixTN and all others who posted in the topic for you support! SMK helped get things off the ground, then came back for some good advice: "SMK your words are like pools of wisdom reaching to unfathomable depths." Petrie911 helped greatly with support and analysis of my early videos. Huge thanks also to the others who supported me in the 100% run forum topic. As a knowledgable fan of the game and a long-standing member of SDA, his immediate and continued support were very much appreciated. Insipid had followed TSA's first and second runs of the game, and even attempted his own back in the day.

No matter how much analysis, commentary, or progress I posted, he was there to give feedback, watch dozens of practice videos, and encourage me during the development of the run.
