The Slippy Express is a blog maintained by five former Yale roommates who graduated in 2008.
The name comes from the "Sector Z" level of the original N64 Super Smash Brothers game. While duking it out as their favorite Nintendo characters, combatants are confronted by an Arwing that is piloted erratically and fires lasers at the players. The pilot of the Arwing could be only Slippy Toad, known throughout the Star Fox saga for his inability to fire accurately, shake off pursuers, or generally be a contributing member of the team.
On occasion Slippy suddenly pilots the Arwing into distant space, carrying any combatants on top of his vehicle with him to certain victory (and death). Killing one's character through this act of noble and
courageous self-sacrifice is known as "riding the Slippy Express."
