Lylat Wars

Normally a game will end when one player reaches the ammount of points he is supposed to get. However, if you have a game of 3-4 players, and your person has 2 kills(you have to get 3 to win), if that person kills two people at once, it skips the 3 and goes to 4, thus messing up the counter, and the game will never end untill you reset the game.

If you encounter either Bill or Katt during the game, they will appear flying with your team's Arwings at the opening of the ending credits (as you leave Venom). Katt will be behind Falco and Bill will be near Fox.

You can view two different pieces of artwork for beating Venom on expert mode. The artwork you see depends whether you beat Venom on the easy path or hard.

Certain characters will appear to assist you, depending on the order that you beat the levels

Complete the game on any path. Return to the title screen and use the Analog-stick to move the "64" logo.

When the game is paused, press the R trigger to turn off the crosshairs.

To unlock expert mode you need to earn all 15 medals in the game.

If you change the setting for the main game to ''Expert'', then go to either Versus or Training modes, you will be using Expert rules (wings fall off after crashing once, etc.)

Select the Land Master In versus mode, Hold L + R and the tank should fly.

In versus mode if you destroy both of your wings, you will still see the full shadow of the Arwing.

Go to any course that Bill is found (Katina is the best place to do this trick). Try to destroy Bill, and when you do he will continue to talk even though he is dead.

In multi-player mode, fly to the top of the screen and keep doing the turnaround boost repeatedly. Your ship will keep climbing and eventually reach the "ceiling" and crash the game.

As you are going through the seven arches, there are enemies that ski over the water. Shoot them and supply rings will appear. If you get one, go to the water (down). Although it appears as if you got two rings, you will actually just get one.

Once you have reached Venom, (through Route 2), after you defeat Andross' brain you will see Fox's father James McCloud. He will tell you to follow him. Start shooting him and all of your lasers will go through him, no matter what you throw at him.

Take a route to Venom that allows you to go to Area 6. Complete Area 6 and head for Venom. Defeat Starwolf and Andross, and follow your father out of Andross's Lair. Watch Fox's team congratulate him. After Fox says "Nothing. Nothings wrong", look at the top left corner of the screen. Eventually, before the credits appear, you will see a small object flying across the screen. It is Fox's Father. You will not see this glitch if you take the easy route (Venom1).

In Corneria, five enemies will immediately join in formation at the beginning. When they are about to complete the formation, do a somersault. If done at the correct moment, you should see the enemy that chases Slippy before he turns in front of you. However, no matter how many times you shoot him, he will not die until you see him shooting Slippy.

Go to any course and get two golden rings. Pause game play just as you get the third golden ring. If done correctly, you will see your life grow and sound continue even though the game is paused.

On the planet Corneria, take the alternate path (fly through the seven arches ) and defeat the Boss for that stage. He will say, "Who are you guys?". As soon as Fox's face is clear, do a somersault and a barrel roll. If timed correctly, your teammates should be flying around you before the "Mission Complete" message appears. Sometimes you will fly directly through Slippy. Also, as soon as Fox says "All aircraft report", your teammates disappear before reappearing in formation.

Complete the game in expert mode using either route to Venom. Wait until the credits end. Depending on which Venom route was taken, two different screens will appear.

For every Venomian ship you destroy, you charge General Pepper $64.

Whenever you are on a planet your jets are red. However, when you are in a place such as Sectors X, Y, and Z, they are blue.

Note: You will need your bombs to be full for this mission. Once the mission starts, you will be faced with a defense platform and a few enemy fighters. Once you get to the minefield, fire a bomb or two to make your hit count increase. Progress through the rest of the mission shooting everything you can. The battleships will greatly help your hit count go over 300. It should go over 300 before you reach the Boss, just as long as you destroy the mines.

Nothing stops you from executing a barrel roll while executing a somersault. This will never be useful in the main game, but also can be extremely useful in versus mode.

When flying over water, hold Z or R then fly on the water. Instead of skimming the water as normal, you will bounce. Note: Do not try this on toxic waste, as it will damage you.

When trying to collect the medals for each area, you have a set number of enemy ships to shoot down in order to get the medal. You will know when you have reached that target when your score flashes and turns red. However, it is possible to defeat too many enemies and go over that limit. Your score will go back to light gray again and you will lose the medal. This can also happen by accident with the amount of points you get from defeating a Boss at the end of an area. If you are going for high scores, concentrate on the medal first, then play again. All medals successfully collected will be automatically saved and will never get deleted unless you erase the game data.

Save Falco in the Corneria City mission, then go through all the tunnels on the water to find a secret passage.

Do a loop between the legs of the first boss in Corneria (the one you fight in all-range mode) to find an extra life.

Immediately after Falco says "Something's wrong with the G-Diffuser", charge your laser, lock on the enemy, and shoot. Note: You might have to charge earlier.

When playing in versus mode as the Land Master on Corneria, hover above a building. If you release and fall at the correct moment, you may get stuck in the building. This may require a few attempts. If done correctly, you will be able to shoot your enemies without them hitting you. This works well because it eliminates the weaknesses of the Land Master being on the ground.

When confronting tight groups of enemies, power up your laser, lock onto the group, blast it, and then continue rapidly shooting to deal more damage.

When you go through the first course, for an easy medal shoot the enemies that are destroying the buildings.

The Katina aerial battle is almost perfectly reminiscent of the final aerial battle near the end of Independence Day. It features lots of good fighters battling the un-shielded enemies, and the weak spot of the mothership is a core that appears in the middle. The way the mothership crashes is the same way the alien craft crashes when its core is destroyed. The only drawback is that the mothership turns over to fire its primary weapon to destroy the base.

On the Bolse level, skip an energy tower or two a few times. Eventually, Slippy will say "Those ships are shielded, too!", reminiscent to what Harry Connick, Jr. said during the first aerial battle in Independence Day.

The Land Master can completely turn around in multi-player mode. Hold the direction you are turning and do two barrel-rolls.

As the Boss in the train says "Dang, Detach the rear vehicles?", wait until you see the two cannons (one should be shooting at the wall and the other shoot be shooting at you). In between the two cannons is a fuel tanker. Shoot a bomb at it. It should destroy both cannons and a few other cars as well.

Shoot all of the poles that are normally red. When you shoot them, they will turn green. If done correctly, Peppy will tell you to shoot the switcher. When this is done, the tracks will move to a different path. You will get also get 50 bonus points.

Complete the game on any path. At the end of the game, you will see a collection slip from Fox describing how many Venomian enemy units were destroyed and the total amount of money that is due. Make sure you have destroyed enough enemies to earn a fee of $50,000 or greater. If done correctly, General Pepper should say "This is quite a steep fee, but it's worth it," or something similar.

If the amount is over $75,000 (done by killing 1,171 Venomians or more), General Pepper will sound startled and will say "Wha...?".

Near the end of Meteo, before the Boss, there are seven blue rings. When you fly through them you will start doing barrel rolls. If you can fly through all of seven of them you will warp to Katina. The rings are located in Meteo after about three minutes have passed.

You can move faster left or right by performing a barrel roll while turning, except in all-range mode. It does not matter which way the barrel roll is oriented, it will work for both sides. Try using the index on the hand that is less busy. For example, if you are shooting enemies, slowing down and turning right will executing this move. It is best to use the left index, even if you need to turn right. A left barrel roll will be easier and more practical in this situation. Note: Do not use this trick if your camera angle is inside the Arwing; it will only make you hit the ground faster.

Begin game play as a human versus an opponent that is also human. Approach your opponent and press Z to jump on him or her. The only way for your opponent to hurt your character is if he or she shoots a bomb and detonates it. Shoot downwards to keep hitting him or her, and make it appear that your character is doing the splits on their head.

Start a three player point match. Let one player get four kills. This works best if done on foot, not in tanks or ships. Then, kill the other two players simultaneously. Your kill counter should jump to six, allowing you to play forever.

On The Mystery of the Secret Base when encountering the mine field, head to the lower right to avoid the full explosion. On Area 6, when the you encounter the large mine field, fly through it shooting the mines until some of them close to you start to blink. Then, boost out of there.

To extend a point match game as long as desired, begin a 3-player, 5 kill point match game. Have one player rank up to 4 points, then defeat the other two players simultaneously. If the two players are defeated at the exact same moment, the win counter will jump to 6 points, and go past the usual limit of 5 points. The match will continue until you reset the game. This trick works best if the two players to be defeated are on foot, and not in tanks or Arwings.

Shoot down 100 enemies in practice mode. Star Wolf will appear, allowing you to get target practice on him.

Also, in multi-player mode, the rocket launcher mode has the following control scheme. Press R to run forward, Z to jump, A to fire continuously (no charge) when held, and B to fire a bomb (no locking). This mode is very small, and often not visible on a mottled surface such as grass. However, you can damage very easily and can be hurt by a Land Master running you over. The C buttons have no use, and the Analog-stick only turns you around -- you cannot do an abrupt turn.

From Corneria, go through the warp at Meteo, then to Katina. Next, go to Sector X, then Macbeth followed by Area 6, then finally Venom.

The route that gives you the most kills is, Coneria, Sector Y, Aquas, Zones, Macbeth, Area 6, And Venom.

After you defeat Andross (droid), your wing mates talk, and everyone is next to a wing you will also see one more ship. It will ether be Katt (next to Falco) or Bill (next to Fox). To see Katt, you must go in this order: Corneria, Secter Y, Aquas, Zones, Sector Z, Bolse. To see Bill, you have to be in expert mode. Go in this order: Corneria, Meato, Katina (warp from Meteo), Solar, Macbeth, Bolse.

While trying to get the medal, when you reach the point where you take a path left or right, choose the path to the right. There are more enemies on this side.

When you are about to reach the Boss, Falco will shout "Look out behind you!". If you do a somersault when the Boss music starts playing, you will crash into the Boss head on.

On Sector X, if take off Syborg's head you will see a red dot that is Syborg.
