Star Fox N64
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:
In Corneria, when Falco is being attacked by three ships, help him
by killing the ships. When you get to the water part with the rock arches,
go under every arch. Then head right into the waterfall. Falco will guide
you to an alternate boss, which, when defeated, leads you 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.
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 reseting, watch the
opening sequence (the part that comes on when you turn on the N64 -- not
after you start the game.) 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 pust 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 apper.
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.
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!
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
