StarFox Adventures on the Gamecube was probably their last "holy crap" game from a technical perspective. There wasn't anything else at the time, on any console, that did realistic-looking fur as good as that game:

It also looked better on a CRT. I still remember getting the GameCube with Star Fox Adventures as my first game for my birthday a few weeks after it came out and just being mesmerized by the graphics. (But I also remember a similar mesmerization when I got an N64 with Super Mario 64, the same TV serviced NES, SNES, N64, GC, and Wii.)
