Alternate Mission Paths - One of the Star Fox 64's
best features is its alternate missions paths. Here's
how to access them.
Aquas:- Score 100 kills or higher in Sector Y to warp
to Aquas, the submarine level.
Area 6:- When you hit the last leg of the Macbeth
stage, shoot the red pillars with metal direction flags
on them so they turn green. Keep a very careful eye out
for them. (Hint: If you went to Zoness before Macbeth,
Katt will come and help shoot those hard-to-reach
switches.)
At the end, where the switchboard light is, a switch
will appear. Quickly shoot it and the track will move to
the right and watch the boss crash into the supply
depot. After a nice 50-point bonus you're off to Area 6!
Sector Y:- When Falco is in trouble in the first level
(Corneria), shoot at the planes that are following him
to save him... He should say, “I guess I should be
thankful”. Later, when you come to the lake with the
seven stone arches, fly through all of them. After the
third or fourth arch, he should say, “Pretty smooth
flying, Fox”. After you go through the seventh arch, he
should lead you to another boss. Defeat him and advance
to Sector “Y”.
Sector Z:- In Sector X, keep left at all times. You
will eventually hit an area where you have to quickly
destroy white gates to pass through them. Destroy the
gates and pass through all of them to warp.
Solar:- When Bill tells you to destroy the 4 hatches,
destroy them and then destroy the enemy core.
Katina:- Near the end of Meteo you will see rings made
of sharp triangles pointing inward. Go through one and
you'll jet forward in a barrel roll. Go through all of
them (very tough) and it will make you fast enough to
warp to Katina.
Control the Logo - At the title screen you can use the
analog stick to move the StarFox logo around. Watch Fox
and his crew while you do so.
Crazy Andross - When you go to Venom (easy way) when
you are fighting Andross shoot a bomb right into his
mouth, (steam comes from his ears and his cheeks turn
red!) it's quite the laugh!
Different Opening - Go to Training mode and start
playing. Pause the game and push R to turn off your
sights. Now quit training mode. Without resetting, watch
the opening sequence. What ROB64 and General Pepper say
is not printed and Pepper doesn't say everything he
normally does!
Easy Way to Earn the Meteo Medal - Shoot everything
you see and try to get 100 kills. Take the warp and
while inside shoot everything that you see for an easy
200 kills.
Expert Mode - To unlock the Expert Mode and the sound
test Graphic Equalizer, you must achieve medals on all
15 levels. In order to get a medal on a level, you must
beat the stage with a specific number of hits (or more)
and all of your wingmen alive. See "How to Earn Medals"
for details.
Expert Versus and Training Modes - After you've
activated expert mode, move the cursor on the main
screen to "Main Game" then push left or right to select
"Expert." Next choose either Versus or Training mode.
Now, all the expert rules apply -- you take damage
easier and one hit will make you lose a wing! This is
handy if are on the ground fighting Arwings in versus!
Extra Lives on Zoness - If you kill 200 or more
enemies on Zoneth you'll gain two lives. To turn this
windfall into nearly unlimited lives, retry the level
and kill 200 enemies again. You can repeat this as often
as needed.
Get a Jump on Star Wolf at Venom 2 - When the Star
Wolf team comes in, press start around the time Leon
makes the comment, about six seconds, for best results,
and also to get the lead on the enemy. When one of them
is about to turn to avoid one of the columns with
Andross's face on it, shoot them like crazy. If you do
it right, they won't be able to move out of the way and
instantly crash into the pillar and die, regardless of
how much life they have. This is the easy (and quick)
way to get the medal in Venom, and you can have single
lasers and still pull it off.
Harder Training Level - If you kill 100 ships in
training mode, a new ship will appear and try to shoot
you down. This ship will reappear after you kill it, so
you'll be sure to get plenty of practice.
Hidden 1-Ups - Sector Y: Near the end, your team will
gather into a triangle. If you speed up and make it a
diamond shape you will get a 1-up.
Venom 2: When you're about to face Andross and you have
a choice to go left or right on the different forks. On
the first fork, turn right (most turn left), then turn
left, you'll see a one up icon spinning around.
Hidden Lasers in Meteo - There are two hidden lasers in
Meteo:
1. In the beginning there are 3 asteroid rings. Fly
through them and a laser will appear.
2. When the "Big Ones Come", go through the first one
and another laser will appear. Don't do this if you have
low life.
Hyper Space - In the comet level. (level 2) Fly
through all the rings that make you spin. Then, if you
fly through all of them. You will blast into hyper space
where things are CRAZY!
Infinite Lives in Venom 2 - In Venom 2 when you reach
the tunnel of power go right at the 1st fork then left
at the second fork. Once you follow this road you along
the way you will receive an extra life. If you die while
facing Andross go through this way again and you will
get another one. If you keep dying keep going this way
and you will eventually beat him.
Infinite Point Match - To have an unlimited point
match, do this. Make sure at least three controllers are
plugged in and that you are in point match. (You must
also be able to go on foot in battle mode.) Select any
number of points and then start your game. Make sure
that one player gets a bomb, while the others stand
close to each other. Now have the player with a bomb
damage the other 2 players until they are almost out of
life. Shoot your bomb at the other 2. You should see
lots of stars above your health. Voila! Note: You now
can't exit unless you pause and exit yourself!
Lock-on Bomb - When you are playing the game
head-to-head or single-player hold A for the ball of
power and lock onto someone/something and press B the
bomb should chase the target and hit it hard.
New Title Screen - For a different title screen, earn
all the medals in EXPERT mode.
Play on Foot in Vs. Mode - To play on foot in Vs. mode,
earn a medal on Venom in Expert mode.
Play with Tanks in Vs. Mode - To get Tanks in Vs.
Mode, earn a medal on Venom.
Power Up in Venom 2 - To get 1 bomb, 3 gold rings, and
2 laser upgrades on Venom 2, in the the tunnels go:
Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right.
Refuel in Sector Z - When you arrive at Sector Z and
find out that you are low on energy, you can fly into
the rear hanger of your mothership (the Great Fox.) You
will 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.
Secret Star Fox Art - Complete the game in Expert Mode
and wait for the end of the credits. Depending on
whether you went through Venom 1 or 2, you will get two
different pieces of art. One is a picture of all the
characters in the game's heads, the other is a cool
portrait shot of the Star Fox team with the word
"Great!"
Sideways Loop - In all-range mode, if an enemy is
chasing you, push and hold Z or R while pulling the big
loop trick after you see the enemy pull in front of you.
This works very well against the Star Wolf team.
