Then we're opposites.  I've only played the N64 version...

How do you mean?  Are they all going to stay in the GreatFox, and just root the player on with
comments?

Yeah, it's a tank.  I don't know if it's in the SNES version or not.  Also in the N64 version is a
submarine, but as I said before, I do not know the physics of fluidity, and therefore cannot program
for it.  I might think of adding it later, maybe, if I ever learn that in Physics class.
