Mission No 3. Aquas Ocean; Terror of the Deep[]

Vehicle: Blue-Marine

Type: Corridor Mode

In Star Fox 64 and it's 3DS rerelease, Aquas is only reached from Sector Y after getting over 100 hit points. The Blue-Marine is used for the first and only time in its history to search for and destroy Bacoon and the other hostile sea lifeforms. The route from the planet is fixed and will go straight towards Zoness. Zoness cannot be reached from Katina or Fichina, so traveling to Aquas is necessary to reach Zoness.

Enemies:

• Aquas Squid
• Starfish
• Shell Missiles
• Clams
• Giant Spindly Fish
• Garoas
• Angler Fish
• Aquas Ruins
• Sculpins
• Jelly Angler
• Boulders

During Andross's conquest of the Lylat System, the Cornerian Intelligence received information that Venomian forces were polluting the Aquas oceans to convert the wildlife into mind controlled bioweapons. General Pepper ordered the Star Fox team to take out the leading bioweapon Bacoon, hiding on the other side of a deep trench, beyond the ruins of a lost civilisation in the depths of the ocean. Since the Cornerian Military had no way of knowing what exactly was going on, Fox resorted to using the Blue-Marine, Slippy's new and unpredictable experimental attack submarine, to solve the mystery. Thanks to the unlimited supply of light bomb torpedoes, Fox was successful in steering the Blue-Marine through the darkness of the polluted ocean, eventually found Bacoon, and destroyed it.

Mission Briefing[]

“Andross is using bio-engineering techniques to mutate the sea creatures of Aquas into deadly weapons. However, because of the rapidly spreading pollution in the planet's ocean, Cornerian Intelligence has been unable to determine exactly what is happening on the planet. Slippy's Blue-Marine experimental battle submersible is the only craft that can descend to the depths and discover what Andross is up to on Aquas.

Intelligence - Fire Light Bomb Torpedoes to light your way through the murky depths of Aquas.”

Medal Tips[]

Medal Score: 150 hits

Checkpoint Goal: 65 hits

“Shoot, fire torpedoes and barrel roll simultaneously for best results in the seas of Aquas. To make sure you destroy as many enemies as possible, use the brake to hold back and get them all! The underwater canyon just before the final lieutenant is a particularly target rich environment full of shrimp mutants and starfish. Be sure to destroy the huge barnacles on top of Bacoon's shell as these are worth 12 hit points.”

Many years after it was previously invaded by Venomian assault, Aquas was once more attacked and overrun, this time by the Anglar Empire, who were an amphibious, bio-engineered race from Venom's polluted sea, under guidance from the bounty hunters Zako and Octoman.
