Blast off with the Star Fox mercenary team in this groundbreaking 1993 rail shooter for the SNES. Co-developed by Nintendo and Argonaut Software, the game pioneered 3D console graphics using the innovative Super FX chip. Pilot your Arwing fighter through the Lylat System, choosing your own path to defend the planet Corneria against the evil forces of Emperor Andross.
How to Play
Navigate your Arwing through linear 3D stages, shooting down enemies and dodging obstacles to defeat the boss at the end of each level. By default, use the D-pad (arrow keys) to steer, press B (Z key) to fire your lasers, and press A (X key) to deploy smart bombs. You can also use the L and R triggers to bank left and right. Double-tap a bank button to perform a barrel roll and deflect enemy projectiles.
Tips
- Master the barrel roll early; it makes you temporarily invincible to incoming energy shots.
- Save your limited smart bombs for crowded enemy waves or to quickly strip the health of tough bosses.
- Fly through geometric arches and tight spaces when you canโthey often hide twin laser upgrades, shield rings, or extra lives.
