Star Fox (released in 1993 for the SNES) is a groundbreaking 3D rail shooter co-developed by Nintendo and Argonaut Software. Players pilot the Arwing spacecraft as Fox McCloud, leading a mercenary team of anthropomorphic animals on a mission to defend the Lylat system from the evil Emperor Andross. It famously pioneered console 3D graphics using the custom Super FX chip.
How to Play
Navigate your Arwing through on-rails 3D environments, dodging obstacles and shooting enemy fighters. In the browser emulator, use the arrow keys to steer, Z to fire your lasers, and X to launch Nova Bombs. Use Q and W (the SNES L and R buttons) to bank left and right, or double-tap them to perform a barrel roll.
Tips
- Double-tap Q or W to perform a barrel roll, which reflects basic enemy laser fire.
- Keep an eye on your wingmates; if you shoot down their pursuers, they will survive to help you in later stages.
- Use your braking (A) and boosting (S) to avoid hazards or adjust your timing when facing bosses.
