Easy way to get the Medal of Honor in Venom
Sent in by Luke Olson An easy way to get the Medal of Honor in Venom is to simply enter Venom the hard way (Go to Venon 2) You will have to fight the Star Wolf Team, every member you kill will give you 50 points, so all you have to do is kill each of them for a score of 200 points and a metal of honor!Hidden Smart bomb
Sent in by Patrick In the Corneria stage, go through the matalic arch before the Check Point. When you go up for the Point, a Smart bomb will appear.Find a gold ring
Sent in by Tyrone Cohen On McBeth if you hover on the railroad tracks (after saving Falco) you can destroy the train and find a gold ring.Fight Andros' brain
Sent in by Codi Pilkington This tip will let you fight Andros' brain at the end of the game instead of just his head. At Corneria, (the first world), save Falco, and go thru all the arches so you can pass thru the falls while following Falco. Next, you go to Sector Y, don't get 100 kills, or you'll go to Aquas. You want to go to Katina. When you fight at Katina, get as many kills as you want, and you can shoot the bay doors on the enemy saucer, but don't shoot the core to blow up the saucer. Let the saucer win. From here on, follow the path where the game takes you. When you fight at Macbeth, you have to shoot all the switches, to destroy the machine boss quickly. When you get to Venom, you will fight Star Wolf & his gang on the surface (tough). After you beat Star Wolf, you will go into the tunnel. The tunnel will be different than usual. Always go to the left to pick up bombs and lasers. When you come out of the tunnel you will fight Andos' head like usual, only when you blast him, you'll be in for a surprise, and get to see Andros' true form. (A brain with tentacles) Blast the tentacles, and then you fight the brain, which chases you. Keep using Turbo boost to stay ahead of the brain, and then do a "U" turn to turn and blast quickly. You must shoot the light tan lump on the side of the brain in order to kill it. After you kill the brain, you will meet Fox's Dad, and you must follow him out before Venom explodes. You'll have to use turbo boosts to keep up with his Dad, don't lose sight of him. As Fox's Dad would say, "Believe in your instincts Fox."
Easy way to get a medal on Solar
Sent in by Amanda Leigh Here is an easier way to get a medal on Solar. When those birds fly up out of the lava, shoot a bomb and press the B button quickly to get all of them. Also, when you shoot the rocks, they count as enemies, except for when the boss shoots them at you.Warp to an easier boss on the first level
Sent in by Matt Mullen To warp to an easier boss on the first level, when you come to the water part go throw all of the arches. Then Falco will say "Come on fox follow me!" Follow him into the water fall and you will play an easier boss, and if you beat the boss you will take a different route then the regular way.Steal the credit
Sent in by Colin Healy If your playing the point match 3-4 player multiplayer mode, this is a good trick. If somebody shoots down another Arwing, if will start to spin out of control. If you shoot it while it's going down, you will get the credit!!Damage the ship's wing for the whole game
Sent in by Brian Fields If you let one of missiles in Sector Z reach Great Fox, then it will damage the ship's wing for the whole game, including the end sequence.Fight against a machine that was in the clouds in Corneria
Sent in by Richard In Corneria, if you look closely near the end of the level in the sky you'll see a machine high above the clouds. Instead of playing that other boss, go through the waterfall. You will get to fight against the machine that was in the clouds.Make a person stand on top of another person
Sent in by Michael Gurfinkel As soon as you get the person in vs. (by getting medals on all the levels, any levels, leading to Venom either route and obtaining a medal on Venom), you can make a person stand on top of another! Just take player 1 up to player 2 (standing still), and go up just enough so that you don't bounce away. tap Z and R at the same time and immediately let go. If done correctly (it may take some practice) one should be standing on the other's head (actually not standing but doing the splits on). If done perfectly, the one on the bottom can appear to walk but won't, If player one walks, he will fall off. If the one on top aims down, he can kill the guy and when he vaporizes, be standing up. I recommend Falco on top and Slippy on bottom.Collide with something tip
Sent in by Kevin Peacock If you are about to collide with something (like a building), in all-range mode, then just u-turn and you'll go right through it, damage-free!Extra life in Coneria
Sent in by John When you fight the last guy in Coneria (on the easy route) do a forward barrel roll through the boss's legs and you will get an extra life. You should do this when you first face him and make sure that you don't hit him at all through out the whole somersault.Get an extra life in the first level
Sent in by Ray Lanuza To get an extra life in the first level, summersault around the boss perfectly (without hitting him). Start between his legs.Get the Landmaster in the V.S. mode
Sent in by Michael Swann To get the Landmaster in the V.S. mode, get to Venom 2 (on the hard route). When you get there, make sure you keep ALL of your wingmen alive while defeating the Starwolf team!! It is pretty tough. Make sure you have at least 180 enemies destroyed. If you beat the evil Andross and follow James McCloud out correctly, you did it!!! After the ending is over, go to V.S. mode and you should be able to choose the Landmaster. Even though doing it this way doesn't allow access to the expert mode, this is the easiest way for gamers who only want the Landmaster immediately can get it without getting all the medals in each mission.Get life and your wings back
Sent in by Tony Go to the back of Great Fox in Sector Z. If you lost your wings or lost a lot of life. There will be a port for you to fly in to. You'll get life and your wings back. An easier way to find it is to follow a downed wingman like Falco, Slippy, or Peppy.Defeat the Starwolf easily
Sent in by Jaytee Lingo To defeat the Starwolf easily is simple. You can do this on Fortuna, Boles and Venom 2. First go through the level until Starwolf talks when he does that quickly press Start, you'll regain control. While Starwolf is in formation quickly shoot him. You'll kill Starwolf and some other members without even letting them fight.Tips on how to beat Andross
Sent in by Michael Dempsey Here are a few tips on how to beat Andross, but first you must get to him. On the second part of Venom after you defeat Phantron II (The thing that is shooting lasers and dancing around.) you keep going and come to a pole sticking out of the ground with a door on top. You automatically fly into this and go through a tunnel similar to those in the stage "Space Armada". You must dodge all the moving poles and the doors that open on one side and everything. A few times while doing this you will get messages from Andross in the same way that you get messages from your wing men when they are being shot at. He will say stuff like "You are a worthy foe, Fox!" There may be a few others but another is, "Your Arwings have no chance against me!!" You can ignore it when he says this since he is really relatively weak compared to some of the stuff on course three. Also, if you die while fighting him or in the tunnels you go back to the beginning of the tunnels. Now, without further ado, I will tell you how to defeat Andross. When you come out of the tunnel you will be in a wavy area similar to the Black Hole stage. By the way, Andross has no power bar and you don't get the "Incoming Enemy" message. Also, Andross does not use regular assualt techniques and weapons, after all, wouldn't it be sort of dull if the supreme end boss was just another face in the crowd? At first you don't see anything, but, after a while, you see a bunch of square plates with flashing red sides come into view. These then proceed to form a square. After a while this square then transforms into a face, and guess who's? That isn't really Andross's face though, it is just a casing he manufactured to shield himself from your weapons and to destroy you. Now the real fight begins. The face has two weak points, the right eye and the left eye. They are only vulnerable when they are flashing blue. While flashing the eyes shoot the gray plates at you, these can be destroyed but you should probably just dodge. After shooting an eye for a while it becomes disabled, to destroy the face you must disable both eyes. The eyes are not the only things you have to worry about, though. Between eye vulnerabilities the face is not inanimate. It also has a mouth. Don't bother shooting at the mouth, it can't be damaged directly. Between eye vulnerabilities the mouth will first become a vacuum cleaner. I am assuming that if you do not resist you can be sucked in but I don't know what happens then since it never happened to me, to avoid it constantly run the upward engine(I think doing it to the side also can't hurt.) After Andross's mouth has vacuumed in a bunch of plates he then spits them back out at you. The plates are approximately 2.5 times denser then an asteroid field so it is not easy to dodge. Once it stops you can go back to shooting the eyes. Once both eyes are disabled the face will explode, when this happens don't drop the controller, jump up and start dancing around. It is not over yet. With his face gone, Andross's body (He is a cube.) will float around. Shoot it as much as you can. You must destroy the cube quickly or the face will reform and you'll have to destroy it again. Once the cube is blasted, congratulations! You won the game! One last thing, it is much easier if you have twin blaster's while fighting Andross, in the tunnels before him there is a twin blaster power up but since right before it you will have to fly back and forth it is likely that you will smash one or both wings on a will and you will just get a wing gyro instead.Macbeth tip
Sent in by Shaharyar Ashraf When your in Macbeth, switch the seven switches, then Peppy will say "Okay now just hit the switcher" or something like, just go hit the switcher. Once you hit the switcher the boss well say something like "No hit the brakes" or something to stop then the boss will kill himself and you'll get a good 50 point bonus. When your in Metro and you get to the point where Slippy says "Hold A to charge your laser" these blue arrow thing well be pointing to the middle go through the middle then another exactly the same comes then again and again and so forth. Try to go through all of them. Once you do you'll get in this warp zone which is kind of like heaven. If you kill more then 200 which is easy if you go through the warp you'll get a medal.Get the tank in VS. mode
Sent in by Will Bowen To get the tank in VS.mode you must get to Venom on the hard mode and defeat Andross and make it out of the tunnel alive. The course you must be it is Corneria, Sector Y, Aquas, Zones, Sector Z, Area 6, Venom.Hidden power ups
Sent in by Johnny If you go to the Solar Level (the fire level), shoot those rocks that burst up and drag fire behind it (to look a little like a snake) to reveal a number a power ups. You need to do this or your Arwing will lose its shields.Fly sky high
Sent in by Jaron When your doing cannon mode shoot yourself high and then press R. You should fly sky high!Defeating Andross on hard
Sent in by Graham Ray To defeat Andross on hard, you need to destroy his hands and head. Then, when the game goes to all-range-mode, destroy the two eyeballs he shot out at you. Treat them like Star Wolf team members. Once he starts to follow you, let him get so close that you can hear his brain pulsing. If you're that close, you can pull a loop and blast him for all you're worth. When he's dead James McCloud comes and shows you the way out.It's a preety steep bill, but it's worth it
Sent in by Korey Kaczor If you beat the game with at least 1000 machines destroyed, when it shows the bill that Genral Pepper has to pay, you'll hear him say, "It's a preety steep bill, but it's worth it."Tip to geting a medal on Corneria
Sent in by Korey Kaczor If you can't get a medal on Corneria, try this. If you find a thing that looks like building ruins, fly through it, and some enemies that were hiding will reveal themselves.Get some help in Solar
Sent in by Edwin To get some help in Solar, go to Katina and defeat the mothership by defeating the extended point there and go to Solar and Bill from Katina will help a little, he gets you a Laser Power Up and some Sliver Rings.Cat helps you
Sent in by Edwin Go to Zoness but don't hit the search lights and complete it so you'll go to Macbeth instead. At the end shoot the pillars and Cat will come and help you.Move the 64 around
Sent in by Viper When you get to the Start Screen, wait 5 seconds, and then hold B. Continue to hold B and then move the control stick. The "64" moves where you want it to move, and the Star Fox team turns their heads this way and that, trying to watch that thing.Sent in by Code Hunter After you beat the game using any path, reset the machine and when you see the characters start to talk on the title screen, just use the analog Control Stick to move the 64 around!
Fighting Star Wolf team members
Sent in by Code Hunter Have one of the Star Wolf team members chase you and let him start to shoot at you. Immediately do a forward barrel roll (down on the Control Stick and left C). 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 on him, shoot the power shot, then rapidly shoot him. If you have 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. NOTE: This does NOT work when you meet the Star Wolf team on Venom on the hard difficulty.Practice destroying the Star Wolf team
Sent in by Code Hunter Here's a way that you can practice destroying the Star Wolf team without being in much danger: In training mode, when you switch to all-range mode, get your hit total to 100 points or more. Then look at your radar, if you see a black mark flying around on it, that's the Star Wolf ship. It will chase you and fire at you, but it's not as tricky to defeat. When you defeat it, another ship will appear.Easy way to destroy the missiles in Sector Z without Katt
Sent in by Code Hunter The easy way to destroy the missiles in Sector Z without Katt is to get a lot of bombs before you get to the level. (6 or more) You can take out the first missile with a lock on & fire and finish it off with your lasers. (Works best with Blue lasers) The next two missiles can be destroyed by locking on bombs, by locking on to the missile and still holding A, press B and the bomb will hit the missile with a strong hit (2 lock on bombs can take out another player in VS mode), and after launched the bomb fire the homing laser and both lasers will be damaged. Do the same thing with the second missile & finish off any missiles that survives with your lasers. The last 3 missiles can be destroyed 2 ways. The first way is if you have 6 missiles use the bomb locking twice on each missile. The second way (if you have 3 bombs to 5 bombs) is lock a bomb on to a missile and fire a homing laser after the missile and finish off the same missile with lasers. Do this to each missile and you should destroy them on time. Don't expect to destroy the missiles this way on your first try since the 2nd way is harder to do.Unlock the Extra Mode and the sound test Graphic Equalizer
Sent in by Code Hunter To unlock the Extra 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. Here is the score needed on each level to achieve a medal: Corneria - 150 Katina - 150 Solar - 100 Macbeth - 150 Venom 1 - 200 Meteo - 200 Fortuna - 50 Sector X - 150 Titania - 150 Bolse - 150 Sector Y - 150 Aquas - 150 Zoness - 250 Sector Z - 100 Area 6 - 300Play as Fox, Falco, Slippy or Peppy on foot in the Vs mode
Sent in by Code Hunter To be able to play as Fox, Falco, Slippy or Peppy on foot in the Vs mode, all you have to do is beat the game on the harder route to Venom in the Extra Mode. This will also open up a new title screen.Restore your health bar
Sent in by Code Hunter Take the hard route to Sector Z. When Great Fox is stationed in the center of the level, fly into the hangar bay in the back of the ship and it will take you in. You will then fly back out of the hangar bay in the front of the ship. This will fully restore your health bar.Having to find Slippy
Sent in by Code Hunter At the end of Sector X, shoot the head off the boss with the big hands. When the second one grows, dodge him, and let Slippy come in. He will get hit by him and fly off to Katarina. Kill the boss and that's your next stage...to find Slippy!Turn your aiming sight on and off
Sent in by Code Hunter Simply pause the game and press the R shoulder button to toggle your aiming sight on and off.Credits art
Sent in by Code Hunter Complete the game in Extra 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!"Warping
Sent in by Code Hunter Unlike the original Star Fox, multiple paths are not selectable from a map. You must perform tasks in certain levels to get to the other levels. In Zoness, if you shoot down all the spotlights on the stage, you then go to Sector Z when you complete the stage. When you hit the last leg of the 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, Cat 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. Now the boss kills himself, with a nice 50-point bonus, and you're off to Area 6! All you have to do is get a score of 100 or higher in Sector Y to warp to Aquas, the submarine level. 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 and pass through all of them to warp! Near the end of the Meteo Field, you should see rings made of sharp triangles pointing inward. Go through one and you jet forward in a barrel roll. Go through all of them (very tough) and it will make you go fast enough to warp.Sent in by Edwin In Sector Z shoot all six missile that are headed towards your mothership the Great Fox to warp to Area 6.
Sent in by Danny Near the end of the asteroid field, (The second level) you will see about 7 blue rings. When you fly through them you will immediately start a barrel roll. If you fly through all of them you will hit light seed and go to immediately to Titania.
