| Thrashnet's POV |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
This game has better graphics than any NU64 game I have played to
date (12/2/97). It has much, much MORE better graphics than Super Mario 64
and it does show capabilities of the software & hardware. The best thing
about this game is the dialogue you get from your teamsters. You can
actually some signals of emotions between them. This game is the best NU64
game I have ever played to date! The only thing I don't like about this
game is the bosses they are just to easy. The sound in this game is great
(although when I get a loud sound or a sharp one it will static) and the
realism that the game has is great. The rumble pak in the best accesorie
(and probably most used accesorie Nintendo ever made) is included with the
game which gives you a realistic feel like you are actually in the cockpit
of an Arwing! It will vibrate when a boss explodes into kingdom-kum or when
you run into something, throw the boosters. or are hit by a laser. The only
thing that troubles me about this game is the skill required for getting the
medals in the stages. THIS GAME IS THE FUTURE OF THE NU64'S POITENTAL.
However, some things I don't like about this game is how much Nintendo
Power hyped it up! And when I bought it it didn't seem to be all that they
hyped it up to be. And also the story has changed dramatically. It can be
ultra-confusing to someone who has played all 3 star fox games! (Someone
Like Me!!!)
But LYLATWARS gave me the answer with a message he posted to me
in Nintendo's Loudhouse (now called the Nintendo Nsider):
I know I found it confusing too just think of it as a revised book
in which the author wanted to make a better version of one of his stories.
This game should not at all in anyway be classsified as a first
generation it should be classified as an instant classic. (Think of it as a
game like The Legend of Zelda for the NES which was probably the first good
one ever made for the NES, think of Star Fox 64 as the first good game ever
made for the NU64!!)
So there you have it! Aside from these minor problems the game Star
Fox 64 is the FUTURE!!!
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| STORY OF STAR FOX 64 |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Long ago on a distant planet Corneria, there lived an ape who was
skilled at chemical bio-weapons his name was Andross. He loved making
weapons and liked doing it but due to the peacefulness of the Lylat Galaxy
Andross's life was wasted he became bitter and angry his morals became
demented due to his sorrowness Andross went MAD!
General Pepper was succesful in exiling this manaical scientist to
the distant planet Venom. A few years later Pepper noticed strange activity
coming from Venom so he formed a plane team called star fox (James Mccloud,
Pigma Dengar, and Peppy Hare made up the team.) to investigate Venom. Upon
thier arrival Pigma betrayed and Peppy and James were taken captive. Peppy
barely escaped to tell James's son Fox about his father's doom. Later,
Andross declared war on the galaxy so now he must turn to you to get help
to save the galaxy.
You get an urgent message from ROB64 it is from General Pepper it
seems that Andross has delcared war on the Lylat system. He has invaded the
galaxy and is now trying to take over Corneria! It seems that they're army
alone can't do the job! So they call you in for your help! (But your help
does not come without a price heh! Heh! As Pepper will soon find out!) So
eager to make a little money you fly out of your cave on Papetoon aboard
the Great Fox! And take off to Corneria to get that cash! And to avenge
your fathers death by bringing the traitorius Pigma Dengar to justice.
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Menu Choices |
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
A) Main Game
This starts the adventure to save the Lylat system from Andross. There
are many choices that you can make in this game that have a different
outcome than another one you just played. You can earn medals on certain
stages by defeating a certain number of enemies(info later!).
------
B) VS.
Gives you a menu of threee choices that lets you compete with other players
the choices are:
1) Battle Royale
2) Time Trial
3) Point Match
------
1B) Battle Royale
In this mode you can face off with up to 4 players (if you have all 4
controllers) the object is to destroy the other pilots before they destroy
you! Remember you can grab the power ups before the opponents do. But if
you kill an opponent will have the oppurtunity to grab the power ups they
leave behind after their ship has exploded.
------
2B) Time Trial
Who ever takes out the most enemies in the alloted time is the winner!
However, if you get shot down your number gets resetted back to zero
use this fact to your advantage! Also collect all the items that you
can since they are a big help!
------
3B) Point Match
Players compete for the number of machines that they can shoot down
within the time limit. If you shoot down a rival you will recieve a
*. If a player shoots down the set number of machines in a time limit.
He wins!
------
C) Ranking
Lets you view your high scores ordered in a 10 range list from biggest
to smallest. When the game is over your score will be saved to memory.
If your score is in the top ten you can register your name on the Name
Entry screen. To check the stats for each score press a then press up
or down on the control stick. THE TOTALS ARE DISPLAYED DEPENDING ON THE
CERTAIN NUMBER OF HITS. IF THE HITS ARE THE SAME THEN THE MORE ARWINGS
A PERSON HAS WILL DETERMINE WHO GOES UP IN RANK.
------
D) SOUND
There are 4 different settings for this selection on the menu.
D1) MODE
D2) MUSIC
D3) VOICE
D4) SE
------
D1) MODE
Mode has 3 different settings Stereo, Mono, and Headphones. Explanations
are below.
------
D1A) STEREO
Select this option when using a TV with Stereo sound. If the left and right
sound outputs from your NU64 control deck aren't connected probably some
sounds might be garbled, misplaced, or inaudible. I used this one after the
music sounded a bit to dull on my TV. And now it sounds much better!
------
D1B) MONO
Select this one if the Stereo setting does not work properly. And also
think about selecting it when you are using a TV with Monoaural sound.
------
D1C) HEADPHONES
Use this option to enjoy a more natural sound when using headphones.
------
D2) MUSIC
Adjust the volume of the background music!
------
D3) VOICE
Adjust the volume of the voices!
------
D4) SE
Adjust the volume of the different sound effects! As if you guys couldn't
figure all these 3 settings by yourself!
------
E) DATA
Use this to reset the 10 top scores to thier default setting selecting "yes"
will delete all of the scores! Selecting "no" will not! This feature only
saves your top ten scores and you're medals not the progress of your games!
------
F) TRAINING
Lets you enter a mode in which you will learn very important manuevers and
tactics. It is rumored that if you fly through all the rings something
very great is supposed to happen!

\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Your Partners |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\----------/
|Peppy Hare|
/----------\
Peppy is the senior member of the team a good pilot with vast knowledge and
a good friend. A long time friend of Fox's father. Peppy has watched you
grow from a little pup to an expierenced pilot. He is probably the most
cool headed, and most-mature individual of the team. He is the one who will
hardly ever get trailed by an enemy!
\-----/
|ROB64|
/-----\
Operating from the mothership Great Fox, ROB works closely with the Star
Fox team offering support when needed. But do not expect him to save your
tail every time though!
\-----------/
|Slippy Toad|
/-----------\
He is the most energetic and optimistic member of the team although
sometimes he can go overboard. He is not the greatest pilot however he is
the best engineer. Always keep your eye on him at all times so he won't
rush in to a very dangerous situation. (Which he will do more than once!)
He proves that being by getting in trouble most of the time and you have to
always save his butt when there is an enemy behind him.
\--------------/
|Falco Lombardi|
/--------------\
A member of the avian race, Falco is a natural pilot. His quick temper and
overconfidence has made him the wildest member of the team however he stays
loyal to the Cornerian cause. He can sure be the pain in the neck
sometimes so keep your cool around him. He is probably a greater pilot than
Fox is himself! I would describe this member as an arrogant teen. He is
however able to look out for himself he never gets into any real trouble.
Except for maybe every once in a while.
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Power-Up Items |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| A section having to do with the different items and what they do. |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|1) Laser |
|This looks like a diamond shaped plate with an "L" on it with 2 poles that|
|are around it. If you grab it it will increase the power of your laser. |
|There is the twin laser, then the Hyper laser! You can carry this over to|
|the next area but watch out if you lose one of your wings you lose this |
|power-up. |
|------ |
|2) Nova Bomb |
|Looks like a red octagon with a "B" on the front. When you collect it it |
|raises your Nova Bomb number by one. You can carry these over to the next|
|area. |
|------ |
|3) Supply Ring |
|It looks like a wire six sided figure its colored silver. When you |
|collect it refills your shield a little. Can't carry over to next level. |
|------ |
|4) Middle Supply |
|Probably one of the best power-ups in the game. Looks like a wire shaped |
|4-pointed star it is colored silver. When you collect it it refills HALF |
|OF YOUR SHIELD! Can't carry over to next level. |
|------ |
|5) Shield Ring |
|Look exactly like the supply rings except they are gold-colored. If you |
|collect three of them your energy gage will expand and at the same time |
|will be recovered significantly collect three more for an extra life. Use |
|this wisely if you are on an easy stage and you have already collected 3 |
|Shield Rings and have 2 right now and are going for a third to get an |
|extra life DON'T you can carry these over to the next level thats the |
|reason to do that. |
|------ |
|6) Wing Repair |
|If you take too much damage one of your wings will break off. This makes |
|flying difficult and you lose you're powered up laser. Collect this item |
|to repair you're wing. It looks like a pair of 2 arwing's wings rotating |
|with the words REPAIR in the center of the 2 wings. Note: All of the |
|power-ups in a stage that are normally laser power-ups will turn into wing|
|repair power-ups if one or both of your wings are broken. Also, it says |
|in the instruction booklet that once your wings are broken ROB64 will |
|provide a wing repair---I don't know if this is true or not! |
|------ |
|7) S Container |
|Sometimes during the game a yellow mark that looks like a C-RIGHT arrow |
|will appear at the top of the screen. This is telling you that ROB64 is |
|trying to contact you he will usually send you a supply hence the S |
|Container. It looks like a 3 Dimensional Square with an "S" on all sides |
|of the square. Shoot it when he sends it. It contains one of the six |
|power-ups mentioned up above. |
|------ |
|8) Halfway CheckPoint |
|Located halfway through some stages not in all stages however is there one|
|of these. It looks like a circle of equilateral triangles rotating with |
|the word "checkpoint" in the center of the circle. Some stages for some |
|reason have more than one. If you pass through the hakfway point mark |
|your ship will be partially recovered. And if you are defeated after |
|flying through the halfway checkpoint you will start back at the |
|checkpoint with all damage recovered. However some of the stages in this|
|game will have more than one checkpoint. In areas like Zoness there is 2 |
|halfway checkpoints why I don't know. |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Vehicles for the Pickin' |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| This is a section dealing with the different vehicles that can be used in|
| different stages. |
| NOTE: The game decides what vehicle you drive in each of the stages |
| depending on if it is an undersea area or what. You don't decide! |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|1) Landmaster |
|This is the anti-aircraft of the Star Fox team. It is a tank equipped |
|with Laser-Cannons and a pair of jets which allow for temporary hovering! |
|It is big and clumsy but it has a powerful laser cannon and boosts last |
|longer than it does in other vehicles. Laser power-ups won't do anything |
|to the strength of the laser! |
|------ |
|2) Arwing |
|The trademark of the Star Fox team. It is an improved model than the ones|
|in the one in the first 2 Star Fox games. It is the primary fighting |
|machine of the Star Fox team. With an equipped G-Diffuser it can perfrom |
|many different tasks that other aircraft cannot. It is the most versatile|
|of the three vehicles. |
|------ |
|3) Blue-Marine |
|It has unlimited torpedoes it is very hard to control boosts in it don't |
|really do anything in terms of speed. Probably the worst of the three |
|vehicles. But it does compensate for having infinite torpedoes you can |
|use this torpedoes to help you see in dark places. The infinite torpedoes|
|that this vehicle has are the only really good thing about it. |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Screen Modes |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|The one player game is split up into two parts.... |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|1) 3 DIMENSIONAL SCROLL MODE |
|You can move in all directions but if you go to far off the screen in one |
|direction an arrow will appear preventing you from going any further. On |
|the way there will be a check point indicating the halfway point |
|------ |
|2) ALL-RANGE MODE |
|You will be in a square shaped area and you will be able to fly wherever |
|you want. The Arwing will automatically U-Turn if it goes pasts the edge |
|of the playing field. |
|------ |
|NOTE: IN SOME STAGES BOTH MODES EXIST! |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Vehicle List |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|This is just a list telling you what vehicles are used on what stages: |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| LEVEL | VEHICLE |
|1. Corneria | Arwing |
|2. Meteo | Arwing |
|3. Fortuna | Arwing |
|4. Sector X | Arwing |

/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Range List |

|This is a list having to do which screen modes the different stages use: |
|All-Range Mode |
|3 Dimensional Scroll Mode |

/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Teamwork |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
If you want to complete this game right you have got to keep all team
members alive do not ignore them when they ask for help or when they tell
you that you have an enemy on your tail! You have to listen to them as well
when they say something like lets take em all out! Because chances are that
you have to.
In other words listen to them!
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Four-Player Mode |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|A) Landmaster |
|Good: This tank is strong it has the most powerful laser! It can't take |
|damage from running into walls or anything! It has a boost that lasts the|
|longest and probably the fastest boost. You can make turns faster than |
|anything else. |
|Bad: You are a large target you have limited movement. You cant Barell |
|Roll or somersault. If an Arwing gets on your tail your good as dead! |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|B) Arwing |
|Good: You can repel enemy fire by Barrel Rolling and by using somersaults|
|you are the most versatile of all. You can avoid enemies better than some|
|other ones can. |
|Bad: You can't lock on to a too small of a target. Your boosts are short|
|and slow. Your shield is not very strong. |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|C) On Foot |
|Good: You are a small target enemy radar cannot lock on to you. You are |
|close to the ground which makes you harder to hit and detect. |
|Bad: You can't move very well. Youre shield is the weakest of all of the|
|three. You could be squashed by the tank. |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| How to get the medals |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
To get the medals in each level you need to destroy a certain number of
craft to obtain and also EACH TEAM MEMBER MUST BE ALIVE AT THE END OF A
MISSION! Also you can tell if you can get a medal if your score gage turns
to red when you are on a level.
Here is a list of how many enemies must be destroyed to obtain a medal in
each level:
Corneria-150 or more
Meteo-200 or more
Fortuna-50 or more
Sector X-150 or more
Titania-150 or more
Bolse-150 or more
Sector Y-150 or more
Katina-150 or more
Solar-100 or more
Macbeth-150 or more
Aquas-150 or more
Zoness-250 or more
Sector Z-100 or more
Area 6-300 or more
Venom (easy route)-200 or more
Venom (hard route)-200 or more
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Tips for earning medals! |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Here is a tactic list you can use to get the medals on the stages easier!
#1-Always lock on to one enemie in a close grouping of enemies to get
bonus points if 2 or more foes are defeated by the blast.
#2-If there is a large number of enemies (7 or more)
coming use a Nova Bomb to kill all of them!
#3-There sometimes might be a time limit to killing the enemies (such as in
stages like Katina!) so try to kill them as fast as you can!
#4-There may sometimes be obstacles that be counted as enemies (such as the
metoerites in Meteo) so try to shoot them as well.
#5-If you are on a stage that is the only one you'll be playing to get the
medal use everything you have! Bombs too!
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Changes in Courses |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Sometimes in your journey you may come across an oppurtunity where you can
change routes by satisfying certain conditions met in a level.
Here is a list of what ya gotta do in order to change routes on certain
levels:
------
Corneria to Sector Y- Help Falco out when he gets into trouble. And fly
through the seven stone archways! And youre headin'
to Sector Y.
------
Meteo to Katina- Fly through every blue ring towards th eend of the level
this is TOUGH! And if you manage to do this youre flyin'
to Katina.
------
Fortuna to Solar- Defeat Star Wolf before the bomb blows the base to
kingdom-kum!
------
Sector X to Macbeth- Defeat the boss before Slippy rushes in and gets
swatted by it (hey remember I said Slippy was
dangerous!) and fly through the four warp gates.
------
Sector X to Titania- Do the opposite of the first let slippy get swatted
down by the boss.

| SPECIAL POWER!! |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Some of your teammates have a special ability that is invaluable to you as
Fox Mccloud thats why it is a good idea to always have them around!
Here is a list of thier special abilities:
\-----/
|Falco|
/-----\
He is a cocky guy who likes to take the harder routes for more challenges!
So in other words when he is with you you are more likely to take a harder
route to Venom! He will sometimes get in your way avoid him.
\------/
|Slippy|
/------\
Slippy is good at analyzing the shields of bosses he can display a meter on
the screen that tells you how much power the enemy has left. In other words
without Slippy you are not going to be able to tell how close you are to
defeating a boss character. He will always get in your way!
\-----/
|Peppy|
/-----\
Peppy is good at analyzing the streths and weaknesses of bosses! So again
in other words when he is with you he will tell you a bosses weakpoint! He
also is very good when it comes not to getting in your way.
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Medal Explanations |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
The Medal getting Golden Rule (Also reffered to
as the MGGR.): FOR ALL MEDALS ALWAYS CHARGE UP YOUR LASER LOCK ON TO ONE
ENEMIE IN A CLUSTER AND FIRE AT THAT ENEMY TO GET BONUS POINTS FOR
DESTROYING 2 OR MORE ENEMIES AT THE SAME TIME.
------
Corneria Medal- Shoot everything that moves. You need to save Falco when he
gets himslef into trouble shortly after the halfway point do not miss the
lots of clustered enemies around the halfway point. Shoot down the Red
cyborgs that stay on the ground and knock down pillars they give you a +5
hit bonus for each one destroyed. Destroy the water skimmers where the
seven stone archways are because they give you a +3 hit bonus whenever they
are destroyed. Also you want to fly through these archways so you go a
different way that has more enemies in it.
------
Meteo Medal: Right when the level starts out use a Nova Bomb or two to
destroy as many meteorites as possible because they count as enemies too.
Remember the Medal Getting golden Rule stated above. Towards the end when
you see the blue rings ignore them and lock on to the circular grouped
enemies and fire before they fly apart this way you can get a +7 bonus
almost everytime remeber to be wary of the line makers. After the groups
of the enemies I just mentioned are gone shoot all of the meteorites that
you can to gain more points. Also one more point at the beggining when
Peppy warns you of a trap use a Nova Bomb to destroy almost all of the foes.
------
Fortuna Medal: This one is really easy! Just kill 10 enemies before Star
Wolf shows up and then kill Star Wolf as fast as you can so none of your
allies will be down! Thats it!!
------
Sector X Medal: Remember the MGGR (Medal Getting Golden Rule) here.
Remember to use a Nova Bomb when there is a large colection of enemies.
When the path in the stage starts to break into 2 take the right path.
There is more oppurtunity here for bonus points here than there is the other
way plus this way is much more safer.
------
Titania Medal: Remember the MGGR. When there is a lot of rocks coming youre
way power up and shoot them if you hit them more than once you get a bonus
even if they don't blow up so you can do this again and again! At all costs
kill the Scorpion-Like walkers they give you a +3 bonus when defeated.
------
Bolse Medal: Its best to use all of your Nova Bombs on the sattelite core
so you can destroy it quickly and get a +10 bonus for each of the hit points
that you destroy! It is best also to leave Star Wolf for this stage to
defeat but do it quick so you can destroy the core quickly! Also shoot down
all the basic enemies that you can. Also when you see the 2 cannons around
the energy towers shoot them they give you points as well! Destroy the core
so Peppy won't have to tell you to do it again and again!
------
Katina Medal: Destroy everything that moves who cares about the good guys!
When the mothership arrives at the base it will pour out a lot of enemies
this is where you want to try to shoot as many as possible as fast as
possible! Destroy three of the four hatches on the underside they give you a
+5 hit bonus when destroyed do NOT shoot all four because then the core will
appear and then you have to take that out before it destroys the base. The
core will appear eventually. Then shoot the remaining hatch then try to get
all of the 150 points you need! Before you go after the core. Because if
you destroy the core it will end the stage and it doesn't give you any
points at all. But under certain conditions it will give you a +3 hit
bonus.
------
Solar Medal: Remember the Medal Getting Golden Rule here. When there are a
lot of enemies in one group (what I mean is more than 6) lock on and fire
a Nova Bomb on the one at the lead this will destroy most of them!! Your
allies better be in good shape when they are in this level or they will be
down and you wont get the medal!!
------
Macbeth Medal: Right when this stage begins press left on the control stick
and press and hold Z and destroy the first car try to destroy as many of the
train cars as possible they give you a lot of points. Remember the MGGR.
Whenever you see any rocks 2 or more close together power up a laser then
shoot at them you will get a bonus but they won't be destroyed do this again
and again. And finally right when Peppy says shoot the eight switches to
open the lock! Find the eight switches shoot them and open the lock then
shoot the swicther here are a list of the switchers:
First three: You can see them on you're own! They are right after Peppy's
Remarks!
Fourth: Shoot this one before you get up to it or a metal pillar will
block it. It is on a platform close to the first three.
Fifth: On the left of the railroad tracks!
Sixth: Behind the second closed gate shoot the gate with 2 shots to open it
up! And then shoot the switcher!
Seventh: Right behind the leftmost metal plate.
Eighth: Falco gets it for you!
Switchbox: It is the big box with green lights falshing red on it shoot it!
Switcher: It comes up out of the Switchbox I recommend boosting to it so the
train operator can't block you with pillars. Then shoot the top of it!
This requires a steady aim!
If you manage to do all of this you will get a Big explosion and a WHOPPING
+ 50 HIT BONUS. As a reward.
------
Venom (Easy Route): Right when you startout use a Nova Bomb and also in
other parts of this stage where there are a lot of enemies collected in one
area. Always take the right route because there is a longer way to the
temple with more enemies. And making it easier for you to get that darn
medal. Remember the MGGR. Also kill the boss in this stage quickly so he
gives you a + 10 hit bonus.
------
Sector Y: Shoot everything. (Remember the MGGR.) Use a Nova Bomb when
there are ships coming at you in rows of three in two ways. Lock onto the
first ship in one row then launch a bomb then zip over to the othr side and
blast away at the other ships. Also right before the place I mentioned
before use a Nova Bomb on the ships that come down on top of you. Right
after ROB64 contacts you use locked on shots to kill the enemies that are
resting on the ship there are three V shaped formations not 2. Also kill
the first 2 bosses quickly so your teammates won't kill them or you wont
get the points for them.
------
Aquas Medal: Remember the MGGR! You have Infinite torpedoes in this level
so use them! The crosshairs of your sarumarine will automattically lock on
press b to launch a bomb it will zip over to the enemy and destroy the group
around as well giving you bonus points! Be careful in this level not to
overlook a grouping of enemies as the Sarumarine has limited manuverability.
------
Zoness Medal: Shoot everything there are lots of frieghters around here
shoot theier boxes on deck with on shoot to get bonus points. Also shoot
all of the search spotlights they give you a + 2 hit bonus. Remember the
MGGR! Try to destroy the boss quickly in this level so you can + 10 hit
bonus points as well!
------
Sector Z Medal: Shoot 40 enemies before the missiles show up then take out
the missiles. Thats it for this medal! Remember the MGGR!
------
Area 6 Medal: Again! Remember the MGGR! Do look for large grouping of
enemies and lock on and shot! There are ships here that can be shot down
by hitting them that give you a bonus! There are also what looks like
spinning tops shoot them relentlessly too. Shoot the attack carrier ships
back to send them down as well.
------
Venom (Hard Route): Shoot down the Star Wolf team as fast as you can if you
do it fast enough each one of them will give you a + 50 hit bonus! Thats
about it! Shoot down each Star Wolf member within a 5 minute limit to get
the + 50 hit bonus.

| Tips & Tricks |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
Trick # 1
Kill 100 enemies in the Trainig mode to make a Star wolf ship appear. It
reappers every time you destroy it STUPID, but fun!
------
Trick # 2
Move the "64" around on the title screen by using the joystick!
------
Trick # 3
Get a medal on every level it will enable an extra mode.
------
Trick # 4
If you get a medal on the hard venom it will enable you to use the
Landmaster in the VS. mode. It can only be used in stages with a ground.
------
Trick # 5
If you beat the hard venom on the extra mode you will be able to play as on
the charcters on foot in the VS. mode! Also changes the title screen!
------
Trick # 6
Manuver through all blue circles at the end of Meteo and shoot through to a
psychadelic bonus stage!
------
Trick # 7
To turn off the target pause the game and press R!
------
Trick # 8
When you arrive at Sector Z and you find that you are getting low on energy
fly thrugh the rear hangar of the Great Fox. You will be treated with a mini
cut scene of your Arwing diving into ship and then come popping out the
other side. With your ship fully replinished.
------
Trick # 9
Not really a trick but I thought that I would include it anyway! After you
beat the game adn see the ending and get to register your name and press B
to exist the High Score Screen you get a pic of a bill with the number of
ships you destroyed and the amount of money due. Someone had calculated
that it costs Corneria $64 per ship destroyed. Conciedenice with the
NU64's name?!!
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Rumors |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| This area is devoted to rumors...THEY COULD BE TRUE OR.....THEY COULD|
| BE FALSE! I don't know! (If you can confirm any of this E-Mail me!) |
| Have any more (E-Mail me!) (e-mail adress= tgz6@geocities.com) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|It is rumored that there is a secret vehicle! |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
| Beat the Boss! |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
I won't give these bosses very confusing names however there are stages with
more than one boss! I will name the boss Corneria Boss! Simple enough!
However, if there are 2 I will name one Corneria Boss 1 and the other
Corneria Boss 2.
------
Corneria Boss 1-Use your lasers and knock off one of his feet. Then just
shoot at the pack on his back until hes done for.
---
Corneria Boss 2-Aim for the 3 spots that fires the missiles at you! Or like
Peppy said: "Aim for the open spot!" After all of these three open spots
are gone just shoot at the ship itself until it goes under!
------
Meteo Boss-His shield (you know the one that absorbs the laser!) has a chunk
taken out of it the shield will stop rotating and when it stops shoot the
yellow thing it reveals underneath it! There are 4 of these! After that the
ship will shoot an electric bolt at you. Zip over to the left when its
firing and after its stopped! Fly in and shoot the yellow thing in the
center of the ship! Then he tries to surprise you after this is over he will
fire rings at you just fire at the 2 yellow things at the top and bottom of
the center of the ship! Then its OVER!
------
Fortuna Bosses: There isn't no real big boss here just Star wolf to contend
with. Here is a list of who goes after who. And when they do!
Andrew goes after Slippy. After you hear: "Stick to the pond. Froggie!"
Leon goes after Falco. After you hear: "Annoying bird I am the great Leon!"
Jamesson goes after you. After you hear: "You're not so tough!"
Pigma goes after Peppy. After you hear: "I'll do you fast Peppy old pal!"
Use these facts to your advantage. So you can go after the members of the
Star Wolf team when they are attacking a certain person. Also if only some
(not all) of your team members are there the ones that weren't there will
be the ones going after you. For instance: Lets say Slippy isn't with you
and then that means that Andrew will come after you! Also if you are being
trailed by a member use a somersault and then fire at them when they are
running away from you.
------
Sector X Boss: This guy is a robot! Watch out for his arms swinging
around! When he is swinging his left arm attack his head on the right and
when he is swinging his right arm attack on the left! He will blow up
once then he will come back to life! His first swing he will throw
something at you so go down to the bottom then come back up again! Then
when he starts swinging his arms continually come up to the middle and blast
away at where his head used to be! Also, I forgot to mention that he will
fire a bolt at you the first time his face can be attacked! He also will
fire his arms at your ship! Move quickly to the left when one starts to
move and then to the right when the other starts to move!
------
Titania Boss: Slippy is one of his arms he can't be harmed so don't worry!
One time when you first see him he will disappear into the sand! When he
comes back at up free Slippy by shooting the arm that holds him captive then
fire a Nova Bomb or two to get rid of the rest of his arms! The shoot at
his chest! He also some times will try to smash you with his feet brake to
avoid this! He also might use his arms so avoid them quickly boosting over
to the left or right!
------
Bolse Boss: There really is no boss except for all the ships and whether or
not you defeated all of Star Wolf on Fortuna! (Check Fortuna Boss for how to
kill them!) Help out your teammates when they need it. And when the core
of the satellite appears fire nova bombs at it! Again and again! After the
yellow targets on the sattelite are destroyed they are replaced by a laser
firing cannon Barrel Roll constantly. After all of the yellow targets have
been destroyed the satellite explodes! (Remember to destroy all of the
energy towers first! Check out the explanation of courses section for
info.)
------
Venom Easy Route Boss 1: This guy smacks the wall and barriers appear
out of the wall! Avoid them and destroy his cover on his body! Head, arms,
legs, butt, body, and shoulders! Then after these are all destroyed his
head turns bright red! Attack it! Then after it is destroyed attack the
red glowing center of his body relentlessly then he will go under! As you
hurt him more and more the obstacles increase more and more. Also watch
out when he jumps because some pillars that are resting against the wall
can fall down! Also watch for the apes that are swinging their arms!
------
Venom Easy Route Boss 2: Venom Easy Route Boss 2 also known as Andross is
disappointingly easy if you have hyper lasers he will be extremely easy
just shoot his right eye until he starts to rub it and then shoot at one
of his hands until it gets destroyed or until his face starts moving again
then he might shoot a laser bolt at you whatever side of the room you're
on go to the opposite side. He will also try to hit you by swinging his
hands go up to the top of the screen as far as possible to avoid it! Then
after all of this is over start to shoot as his right eye again! Then
shoot at his hand till it explodes then after all of his hands are gone
shoot his eyes and after he starts to blow up don't stop firing just keep
on shooting at his eyes so he can't crash into you! If you do not have the
Hyper Lasers Try to get out of his way as he comes up at the screen and use
all of you bombs against him too. Hey he is the last boss you'll ever face!
So use everything you've got!
------
Katina Boss: The enemy mothership is your real boss here it will show up
after a while. Shoot all the hatches on the underside they only can be
damaged when open. Bill will tell you when they are open!
Shoot all of them and the core will appear shoot it with your laser and Nova
Bombs. Until it blows you only have a minute to attack! So don't dawdle.
------
Solar Boss: I agree with Falco Andross is an insane fool! Shoot of his left
arm and then go after his right. But be careful because when hes far away
from you he can kick up lava at you using his arms. Also rocks will
sometimes come out of his face shoot them to get powerups! He can also
swipe at you using his arms after all his arms are destroyed shoot at his
head but watch when he spins because lava comes out of his arm sockets!
Just keep on shooting at his head to kill him.
------
Macbeth Boss: Shoot at the bottom of his mouth! And then shoot at the top
of his head! When both of his head and mouth are gone! Watch for the part
connecting him to the train to open up shoot it and then when the boss is
floundering about shoot him and repeat! He can bite you with his mouth so
when he starts to come down boost to the left or right quickly! Also he
can put barriers down in front of you when after he has powered up so kill
and shoot the barriers to get more shots at him! He also has another attack
he will power up then come down at you and release a bunch of rays from his
mirrors on either side of his body just follow the center of his body left
to right until it is over. Also when the connection opens up it will fire
a electric barrier hover over it!
------
Sector Y Boss 1 & 2: There are two bosses that are already out here so
basically watch the radar and shoot them Always try to get by thier shields!
And try to hit the real enemie however if you destroy their shields they
will have less defense! Once they are defeated the Sector Y Boss 3 will
come out to play!
------
Sector Y Boss 3: This one appears right after you destroy the first 2! It
may be a good idea to wait until he boards the ship to attack because he is
then an easier target! Again, destroy his shield and he will have less
defense! There really nothing else special about him!
------
Aquas Boss: Shoot the eyes on the top of his head, and then the 2 things
inside of his mouth when they turn rainbow colors, remember that you have
unlimited bombs so you should use them on him. After you blow the top part
off, shoot the eye inside the mouth then a torpedeo or two when his mouth
is open. The debris floating around will make it hard for the torpedoe to
get through so it is best to destroy the shoters and then go for the eye
when it is about to die.
------
Zoness Boss: Laser's won't work! When he fires his cannons shoot the balls
to get bombs. When you have all you can carry begin to fight! When he goes
underwater bomb the periscope so he can't see then he will fire the mace
ball at you like hes crazy. Shoot the cannons with bombs when one blows off
he will send down the crane to reattach it. Bomb the joint on the crane
off! Then its easy money. You can't destroy the Mace Ball blow off
the other cannon then he will SPAZ OUT! Then he will fire lasers like a
maniac and throw the mace ball at you like a madman. Fire lasers at him
just like what hes acting like.....a madman to win.
------
Sector Z Boss: They really isn't any boss but six missiles that home in
to Great Fox shoot them as they appear. It would really help if you got
behind of them and then just fired at them from the back.
------
Area 6 Boss: When he opens up shoot the red energy balls! Then to open
up the core again shoot of all the tentacles! Then do it again! He
sometimes will fire missiles at you so destroy them quickly after a while
he will fire ships so destroy them to. Also he will fire a huge laser!
Just go up to the upper left as far as you can and stay there until its
over! After all the red energy balls are gone shoot at the core when it
goes under you have won! Also, I forgot to mention this but sometimes he
will try to hit you with his tentacles fly away to an opposite side of the
screen when you see that they go still.
------
Venom Hard Route Boss 1: Guess who it is. Give up? Star wolf again and this
time they have new and improved ships. So it is best to just shoot them
as hard as you can and as fast as you can when being trailed try a
somersault and you'll flip underneath them. Shoot them now! Be careful
not to crash into any of the towers protruding out of the ground. Also
watch when they start to enter press Start to bypass the opening cinema
and when they are coming in use this oppurtunity to hit their ships with as
much firepower as you can.
------
Venom Hard Route Boss 2: (See Venom Easy Route Boss 2) After he has been
destroyed this time he will change into his true form.
------
Venom Hard Route Boss 3: This is a brain with eyes. Ewwwww! Shoot his
eyes when they go out or better yet bomb them until they are gone since
they are close together! Then just shoot at brain it WILL teleport behind
you! Next, use a leaning right turn or left to get behind his brain
use a u-turn because its better to. Make sure you don't get caught
in his tentacles or you'll be sorry. Just shoot at the grey pouch at the
end of his brain to give him damage! He will teleport again eventually
so keep on circling behind him to shoot at the grey pouch again and again
until he goes down.

| Explanation of Courses |
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
This is a section that tells you how to get through the different
courses. Always look at the Beat the Boss section for tips on how to
defeat the bosses!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corneria: Watch out for falling pillars that they bad guys throw down in
front of you! Also save Falco's butt in this level when he gets into major
trouble right after the halfway point. The bosses in this level are both
easy! If you get to the boss that flies drop your altitude in others words
GO DOWN TO THE LAKE!!! So he cant crash into you.
------
Meteo: On this stage watch out for the large group of enemies right at the
beggining! Right when Peppey says the enemys coming from behind prepare
to get fired at majorly do a LOT of barrel rolls also watch out for the
worms in this level they can fire fire at you. Right after ROB sends you
supplies enemies will be on your tail use the brake to pass them up. Watch
out for the really big asteriods at the beggining of this level ignore Peppy
just fly through carefully.
------
Fortuna: Expect a visit from Star Wolf in this level watch out for the
different hills when flying low. Also do not bother with the other ships
besides Star Wolf they are just there! They do not really do anything!
------
Sector X: Watch out for the really fast enemies at the beggining of this
level. After the large groups of enemies fly to a hard left on the screen
to get away from the mines in the mine field! Right after you get to the
halfway point hit the brakes on go to the left of the screen trust me you
will see why I wanted you to that watch out for all the debris after you
enter into the wall after the halfway point! You will see pieces of the
secret weapon as you fly throughout the stage! When you come two the part
where there are 2 ways you can go take the right! There are more enemies
but there is less obstacles this way. About halfway through this path Peppy
will ask for you to back him up! Do it!
------
Titania: There are lots of mines around here be careful not to run into any
of them. Also watch out for any falling pillars they fall by themselves
like magic! Also watch out for the scorpion like walkers here they are
deadly! Finally, watch for any consoles that are sitting by themselves!
They blow up when you get too near.
------
Bolse: First shoot off all of the tops of the big towers that have
electricty coming from them. These towers are in between 2 samller
cannons. After you blown off all of the tops of these the force field
around the core will disappear. Then tons of ships will come for you. Help
out your teammates they will need it! And when Peppy says hes found the
core destroy it.
------
Venom Easy Route: They are absolutely tons of enemies in this level shoot
a Nova Bomb when needed to clear out them. Be careful when the platfroms
are zooming at your ship go to the far left to avoid them and also they are
rotating barriers right before the halfway checkpoint. Go to the far right
in line with the second row your ship should fit into the gap there. (Defeat
the boss as stated in the Beat the Boss section!) Avoid all of the barriers
in the temple its best to stay low avoiding these. And watch out for the
falling pillars. Watch out for the electrical barriers in Andross's tunnel
shoot out the generators on the walls to stop the electricity.
------
Katina: Shoot down the enemy ships until the mothership appears and then
destroy it! Not much to explain for this level.
------
Solar: This level is dangerous do not fly too low to the lava your ship
can't take the abuse! Peppy will tell you to shoot the rocks do it
because you are constantly losing life in this level so shoot the rocks
the flashing ones will give you a golden ring while the other ones will
give you a shield power up. Watch out for the lava waves that occur
during certain intervals also be careful not to get hit by any of the
fireballs flying out of the lava. Eventually you should stop taking
damage. Watch out for the major groupings of enemies here.
------
Macbeth: This level has a lot of enemies in it! Watch out for the rocks
that the guy in the train dumps. Be careful in this stage not to get
carried away by shooting at the train to much or you will miss some
enemies. Right after the halfway point they are closing gates be
careful hover over them until you are past them. There are metal plates
up blocking your path here shoot them down.
------
Sector Y: Watch out for the great numbers of enemies in this level try to
destroy all of the enemies in the first part of the stage when they are
coming at you in threes in 2 rows so Falco will shut up. Right after the
halfway point shoot the robot that is on the bottom you will go to the
bottom and Peppy and your teammates will take care of everything above
this is a much easier route to the boss. When you come to the part when
they are two rows of cannons on both the right and left go and shoot the
rows of cannons so you're teammates won't take damage.
------
Aquas: This stage is hard due to the fact that the Blue-Marine has limited
maneuverability. Watch for the floating starfish because they explode when
near yor ship. You have infinite torpedoes in this area so use them
however they are a bit slow like everything else in this stage. Watch out
for the electricity triangles that the eels generate. Also look out for
the fish that have spotlights they hurt when they hit your ship.
------
Zoness: Shoot the metallic boxes that are chained to the cranes they will
blow up giving you bonus items inside of them. Also shoot the boxes on the
freighters they also have power-ups in them. Shoot all of the search lights
to avoid being spotted by the pirate. This place is a toxic dump so don't
fly too close to the water or you will take damage. Sometimes in this
stage there will be a serpent that will come up out of the water. Just
avoid him you can't kill him. Also watch out for the bombs that are in the
water right before the boss.
------
Sector Z: This is an all-range stage what I mean about that is that the
stage itself is in all range mode. Watch out for your teammates they will
always get in trouble here. Try as hard as you can to kill the 6 enemy
missiles before they reach the Great Fox or you will be sorry!! A good
idea here is to get behind them.
------
Area 6: There are ships in this level and I mean lots of them try to shoot
all of them that you can. Be careful not to overlook any messages from
ROB64 he will back you up if you respond to them. Watch out for the space
mines at the beginning of this level. Shoot them all and use a Nova Bomb or
two to get rid of them. Soon after this you will get greeted by incoming
missiles your team should take care of all of them except 2 shoot the 2
they don't get rid of. Watch out for the ships in the last line of defense
they are fast!
------
Venom Hard Route: Try to avoid all of the metal posts when you face up with
star wolf. Once you kill them all fly into the base take the left always
you'll go in to meet Andross. After you destroy him. Fox's Dad will help
you out in getting out of the base its a good idea here to constantly use
your turbo boosters so you can keep with Fox's dad and follow him out.

|In the game after you beat the main game and enter your name and then |
|look at all the other high scores and press B to exit a screen will come |
|up showing you a bill. General Pepper will say something depending on how|
|many ships you destroyed or he might say nothing at all. Here is a list |
|of what he will say..... |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Destroy 1-899 ships (Pepper won't say anything!) |
|------ |
|Destroy 900-1099 ships: Hear Pepper say: "This is one steep bill. But its|
| worth it!" |
|------ |
|Destroy 1100+ ships: Hear Pepper exclaim: "WHAT!?" |

This team was created by Andross bringing them back to life by using
genetics. And used them for his own evil purposes. There was originally
a team called that a long time ago. There were all great pilots however
they used thier great talent and skill to fight for evil. There were killed
by a Cornerian Army unit. Everyone thought that they were gone forever but
they were brought back to life by Andross to do his evil bidding!
