Star Fox 64

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:
When Falco is in trouble in the first level (Corneria), shoot at the planes that are following him to save him... He should say, "I guess I should be thankful". Later, when you come to the lake with the seven stone arches, fly through all of them. After the third or fourth arch, he should say, "Pretty smooth flying, Fox". After you go through the seventh arch, he should lead you to another boss. Defeat him and advance 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.

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.

When you go to Venom (easy way) when you are fighting Andross shoot a bomb right into his mouth,(steam comes from his ears and his cheeks turn red!)it's quite the laugh!

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. What ROB64 and General Pepper say is not printed and Pepper doesn't say everything he normally does!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Collect all Gold Medals in every level of the game. At the main menu you should be able to choose Expert. Fox will have James's sunglasses.

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.
