Battle Mode with Land Masters 

from Area N64 

If you want to use the landmasters in battle mode, you only need to get a
medal on Venom (the hard path). 

  Battle Mode On Foot 

from Area N64 

To play as the Starfox members on foot, play the game on expert mode and
get a medal on Venom (the hard route). 

  Invisible on enemies radar 

from Area N64 

Stay very close to the ground while play in vs mode and you will be invisible
on the enemies radar. 

  Play as James McCloud 

from Area N64 

Beat and get all medals in difficult, and after you beat the game...there will
be a new option that says Play as James McCloud. (i got this out of the
StarFox 64 strategy Guide by Brady Games.) 

Note: Here is how to get to difficult: In the middle of the first level, Folco will
ask you to take out three guys behind him. Kill them. Now when you come to
water, go under all the archways. Falco will ask you to follow him into a
water fall. Now beat the special boss and you did it. 

  Extra Mode 

To get the Extra Mode, Tanks in Versus Mode, and Graphic Equalizer in the
Sound Test, you must do a few things. You must achieve medals on all 15
levels, by beating the stage with a specific number of hits -- and keep all of
your comrades alive. Here are the scores needed to achieve a medal on each
level:

from Area N64 

  Arwing 

Throttle A lot of the levels require you to slow down in order to get the
maximum amount of kills (especially Area 6). Get used to playing whilst
holding down the break button. 

Lock On Blast By holding down the fire button you can build up a charge of
green energy that has a larger blast radius then your regular laser. Once the
blast is charged simply move your aiming target over an enemy to lock on.
Press the button again to release. If you hit an enemy with an energy blast
without locking on, you will automatically get a +1 hit. 

Homing Bomb After you have charged up a green energy blast and locked
on to an enemy target, try launching a bomb instead. The bomb will actually
home in on your target like the energy blast would. Deadly. 

Premature Bomb Detonation Once you have launched a bomb you can
detonate it at any time by simply tapping the bomb button again. Useful for
short range targets. Or if you miss. 

Sharp Turning In the 360 degree levels you can turn left or right faster by
rolling whilst turning. Press left or right and repeatedly tap the Z or R button
respectively to turn faster. Also, try breaking whilst turning for a tighter turn
radius. 

Looping and Immelman If your throttle meter is full you can perform one of
the Arwing's two 'special' maneuvers by pressing down and either accelerate
or break. The loop is handy for evading enemies on your tail and collecting
items stacked vertically, while the Immelman allows for a quick turn around
in the 360 arenas. 

  Landmaster 

Hover The Landmaster's most useful power is the ability to hover
momentarily by holding down Z and R simultaneously This allows you to both
fly over obstacles and get a better trajectory for shots when there is
something is blocking your path. 

Roll By double tapping either the L or R button you can make your
Landmaster roll. In the four player Vs mode this makes your tank effectively
turn around, like the Arwing's Immelman. 

  Blue Mariner 

Lock On The Submarine's lock on system differs from the other two
vehicles, in that you have use the Bomb button to fire missiles, and you do not
need to charge them up first. However, you can only have ONE MISSILE
ON SCREEN at a time. Once that missile detonates you can fire the next.
Be careful you don't fire a missile at something in distance when you need to
shoot multiple targets in the foreground. Click your stick left or right to lock
on to your next target.

Venom 1 and Venom 2: 200 

  Corneria To Sector Y : In Corneria (the first level), Falco will dodge out in
front of you and then get chased by three skilled enemy pilots. Nail all of
them, and you'll save Falco. Next, pass through all of the rock arches in the
water stage of this same level. If you've done this correctly, Falco will guide
you to an alternate passage, through a waterfall. If you defeat this
water-based boss, you'll be led to Sector Y. 

  Warp To Titania: As you near the end of the Meteor Field there are about
seven strategically placed blue rings. By passing through one you'll
immediately accelerate in a barrel roll. Go through all of them and you'll hit
light speed. You'll appear in Titania, a psychedelic, bonus-style level that's
heavily influence by the old arcade game, Galaga. Note: This ain't easy -- so
keep trying. 

  Get To Aquas: Just get a score of 100 or higher in Sector Y to warp to
Aquas, the submarine level. You can shoot down enemies or blast stationery
canons, and as long as nail no less than 85 by the time you get to robot
bosses at the end, you'll be in good shape. 

  Macbeth To Area 6: As you approach the ending of the stage, shoot the
red pillars with metal direction flags on them so they turn green. Watch them
very carefully. (Hint: If you went to Zoness before coming to Macbeth, Cat
will show up at your side and shoot those hard-to-reach switches.) At the
end, where the switchboard light is, a switch will appear. Shoot that bad-boy
and the track will move to the right. Now the boss kills himself. You get a
deserved 50 point bonus for your troubles and you're off to Area 6! 

  Warp To Sector Z: Keep left at all times when in Sector X. You will
eventually arrive at an area where you have to destroy white gates to pass
through them. Demolish and blow those suckers sky high and pass through all
of them. You'll then warp to Sector Z! 

  Zoneth To Sector Z: If you blast out all the spotlights in Zoneth and
complete the stage, you then go to Sector Z. You should get some help from
a certain feline. 

  Get To Katalina: When you hit the boss at the end of Sector X, shoot his
head off (the boss with the big hands). When the second one grows, dodge
him, and let Slippy fly in. Slippy will get a mouthful and be bashed all the way
to Katalina. Kill this boss and then fly to Katalina to find and save Slippy.
That Slippy -- always causing trouble. 

  Kill Star Wolf Team Member Easily: This doesn't work when you meet the
Star Wolf team on Venom under hard difficulty. First of all, let one of the
Star Wolf team members follow you. Let him shoot at you. Immediately do a
forward barrel roll. As the camera zooms out to show the roll back, the ship
will fly past you and will head either to the right or left. Remember which
direction they went as you fly back forward, while charging up a shot. Turn
to the direction he was going, lock him in, let the power shot fly, then rapidly
shoot him with lasers. With the blue double laser, he should be dead with no
damage to you. If you use the single laser, you may have to do this twice. 

Kill Star Wolf Team: Member Easily (Venom - Hard) First of all, make sure
you have as many friends as you can. This gives your buddies the job of
distracting the ships so you can get the best possible shot. Laser shots are the
way to go -- seeing as how bombs and such don't have any effect. 

Don't forget this: when one (or more) of these bad boys is on your tail, do a
forward Barrel Roll or Loop Turn (down on the Control Stick and left C), and
he should go under you and fly left or right. Then after powering up a shot,
immediately search around left or right, and you should see the ship that was
chasing you. Now is the time to get your shots in. You're going to have to
repeat this step over a few times if you only have lasers, so don't lose your
cool. 

  Sector Z Powerup Tip 

When you arrive at Sector Z, if you find you're getting low on energy, you
can fly into the rear hangar of your mother-ship. You'll be treated to a mini
cut-scene of your Arwing diving into the ship and popping out the other side
with your energy bar replenished. 

  Moving Heads 

Press B and move the D or Analog pad around the STarFox crew will track
the moving numbers 64. Let go and they will stop. The 64 moves right back
into place.
