It's like they lifted one of the endings of Star Fox Command where Fox and Falco get into GP racing.
As much as I like the Star Fox series, I feel it's oddly cursed. The fanbase wants it stuck in the past -and- doesn't really know what it wants. An' on the flipside, the games that are put out are either not that good (Adventure (which is a guilty pleasure of mine), Command), or in the case of Assault, a game which actually does introduce some nice new concepts that could've been used in future titles, a great villain and better storytelling then the other games....and it's the lowest rated game because it wasn't a rail shooter like Star Fox 64. (I'll admit short length and the on foot controls can be clunky for some, but it's nowhere on the level of Star Fox Zero's motion controls.)
