You think Slippy is annoying now? Did you know that Nintendo considered having him say 'Ribbit' after every sentence?! Thankfully Miyamoto squashed that idea.



StarFox 64 coordinator Yusuke Amano: What made an impression on me with regard to the voices was how much Slippy talks.

StarFox scriptwriter Mitsuhiro Takano: He doesn't say "Ribbit!" (laughs) At first, though, he did say things like, "Do something, ribbit!" but Miyamoto-san said it wasn't cool, so I took it out.
