The chief mechanic for the Star Fox Team. He's not the greatest pilot, but he technical skills make him an invaluable asset to the team.
Background
Son of Beltino Toad, Slippy was enlisted in the Star Fox team after it had been reformed under Fox McCloud. Although Slippy was not quite as skilled a pilot as the others, his skill with inventing made up for that one disadvantage. He developed the Landmaster and co-created the Blue Marine with his father. As such, his skills in the Landmaster surpass his teammates. However, while in the Arwing he typically needs constant cover from his wingmates as he is often rather sloppy in the air. Because of this, he is often criticized by Falco. His technical expertise also allows him to identify the enemy's health.
During their first mission, Slippy was able to provide the team with the Landmaster and Blue Marine that Fox used in several key missions. However, while flying against the Star Fox team, he met a temporary rival in the form of Andrew Oikonny, a fellow greenhorn pilot who took to targeting Slippy. Together the team was able to pierce the defenses of Planet Venom and defeat Andross.
In the eight years after, Slippy started working with Corneria's weapon R&D, despite remaining on the Great Fox working with ROB 64. When Fox finally received a mission on planet Sauria, Slippy provided help only in the form of providing useful technological gadgets. A year later, Slippy returned to the Arwing to fly alongside the Star Fox team. During this time he found out his father had become the weapons Research Director for Corneria. Together, the Star Fox team was able to stop the Aparoid invasion and save the Lylat system.
Two years before Star Fox Command, Slippy met a girl named Amanda and the two fell in love. As Slippy began to spend more time with Amanda (and even proposed to her), he spent less time with the Star Fox squadron, which led to his silent withdrawal from the team. Slippy was presumably on Aquas when the Anglars attacked; Fox could either contact him immediately from Corneria, or rendezvous with Falco at the Asteroid Belt (since Amanda begged Fox not to ask Slippy to rejoin the team).
If the former, Slippy met with Fox on Corneria, where they then intercepted a message from Lucy Hare, and chose to either deliver the message to Peppy or go to Lucy's aid on Fichina. Either way, they then traveled to the Asteroid Belt to assist Beltino and met up with Falco in the process. If the latter, however, Fox and Falco went to Aquas to recruit Slippy, only to find him brainwashed by Octoman, an Anglar henchmen. Along with Amanda, they defeated Octoman and freed Slippy of his control.
Fox, Slippy, and Falco then went to Katina to search for Krystal. While Fox went off on his own, Slippy and Falco met up with Bill Grey, having some difficulty holding back the Anglar invasion. They helped him fight off the attack, then met up with Fox and Krystal at Titania, where they recovered a device that could neutralize the acid in the Venom Sea. They went to Venom and defeated the Emperor Anglar, then returned to Aquas to find Amanda, who decided to join the Star Fox squadron as well.
Possible Fates
Slippy turns out the same in most of the endings in Star Fox Command, though in one he goes to Aquas on his own to find Amanda. They intercept a vital message from the Anglars and defeat Zako, but Slippy decides to remain on Aquas with Amanda rather than deliver the message (in other storylines, Peppy does receive information about the neutralizing device on Titania from Slippy). They are married that same day and have several children, who love to hear stories of Slippy's flying days. In another ending, where Fox and Krystal's son decides to reform Star Fox, (one of) Slippy's sons joins the team as well.
