Hint :
Hint: Moving faster left or right:
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.

Hint: Blocking enemy fire while executing a somersault:
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.

Hint: Homing missile:
Charge the laser then launch a bomb when shooting at an opponent.

Hint: Temporary hyper lasers:
If both of your wings are broken off while you had hyper lasers, quickly and repeatedly press A. You will get hyper lasers for a short amount of time. This may be done as many times as needed.

Hint: Easy bonus hits:
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.

Hint: Play unlimited point match:
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.

Hint: Rocket launcher mode controls:
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 Landmaster running you over. The C buttons have no use, and the Analog-stick only turns you around -- you cannot do an abrupt turn.

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

Hint "64" reference:
For every Venomian ship you destroy, you charge General Pepper $64.

Hint: Warp zones:
Asteroid field: Go almost all the way to the level. When Slippy says to charge your laser, you will see seven or eight triangles that form a circle. Go through it and then another one will appear. Go through them until you have reached the seventh one.
Sector X: When youhave reached the checkpoint in this level, you will eventually find a passage way with two directions. Take the left route. Some kind of metal with a border will appear. Shoot the metal until it opens, then go through it. Repeat this until you have opened the fourth one. Note: This will be easier if you have Bill. Additionally, this gives you a better chance to get a medal. Also, it is very difficult to shoot the gates enough before you crash into them -- use the brake for more time.

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

Hint: Routes for Katt and Bill:
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.

Hint: Defeating Andross:
Shoot at Andross' eyes until he has to rub them. Then shoot at his hands. If he tries to inhale you, move to the side of the screen. When he spits rocks, keep shooting them. Continue shooting his eyes and then hands and repeat this until his head explodes. If you are fighting the fake Andross, you will find a robot. Just fire a bomb to destroy it. If you are fighting the real Andross, he will turn into a brain. Chase his eyes and destroy them. After destroying both of them, the brain will chase you. When it gets close enough, somersault. If he grabbed you, keep pressing buttons to escape. If done correctly, you will now be behind him. Shoot the gray matter and repeat until he is defeated. After that, follow your father out or you will die.

Alternatively, the following tough and dangerous tactic can be used. First, start shooting the hands. They have a significant level of health -- be persistent and very fast, since they hit hard. When Andross starts the vacuum attack, get to a lower corner, hold Z/R to stay on the side, and hold the brake. If done correctly, you should barely avoid the attack. If you get sucked in, both wings and the laser power-ups will be lost, and you will also descend at a slow rate of speed. Once his hands are gone, he can only execute the suck and spit attacks. Shoot the rocks, avoid the mouth, and shoot his eyes. When he turns into the mechanical form, stay to either side of the screen. Dodge him when he charges, and shoot him when he retreats to finally defeat Andross.

When you get to Andross, destroy his hands. When he tries to vacuum you in, just fire a bomb into his mouth. He will stop and the bomb will cause smoke to shoot out his ears and nose. This does a great deal of damage.

Hint: Stopping Andross' vacuum attack:
Shoot a bomb into Andross' mouth when he does his vacuum attack. If done correctly, he will stop and steam will appear from his ears.

Shoot a bomb at his mouth (not inside), then fire a few hyper lasers.

To keep Andross from sucking you in, move to one of the upper corners of the screen and repeatedly do barrel rolls (press R if at the upper right, or Z if at the upper left). This even works without breaking.

To avoid Adross' vacuum attack, do a somersault.

Hint: Defeating the Corneria Boss:
The easiest way to defeat the Corneria Boss (Robot) is to shoot is leg. He will trip and fall, allowing you to shoot its back.

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

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

Hint: Macbeth: Do more damage:
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.

Hint: Meteo: Warp to Katina:
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.

Hint: Mystery Of The Secret Base: Avoiding mines and missiles:
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.

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

Hint: Sector Y: Extra life:
When your teammates on Sector Y form a triangle, boost up and try to form a diamond to get a secret extra life.

Hint: Sector Z: Recharge:
In Sector Z, fly in the rear top hatch of Great Fox, over the middle engine. You will emerge near the front lower hatch completely recharged. Also, damaged wings will instantly be repaired.

Hint: Sector Z: Great Fox damaged wing in ending sequence:
When you get to Sector Z, destroy five out of the six missiles. Allow the six one to hit Great Fox. It will take out the top left wing. Finish the game and Great Fox will be missing that wing in the ending sequence.

Hint: Solar: Easier medal:
Kill your wingmen on Meteo so they are in full health on Solar. Your men will lose health quickly on Solar.

Hint: Solar: Mystery enemy:
When Rob 64 says "location confirmed" the first time, you will see a white bird-like enemy fly up out of the planet. Note: This does not always happen all of the time.

Hint: Solar: Super ring:
When you see the rocks, look for one that is glowing. When you shoot it, you will see a ring that has four points and is silver. There are four of them on the level.

Hint: Toxic Waste: Unlimited bombs:
In the Toxic Waste planet Zones, while fighting the giant submarine, you can get unlimited bombs for your arsenal. Just shoot the bubble things he shoots out of his cannon and they will turn into bomb power-up items.

Hint: Venom: Route outside:
When escaping Venom after beating Andross, if you lose sight of James McCloud follow this path: right, left, right, left, right, right.

Hint: Venom 2: Power path:
After you defeat the Star Wolf gang in the labrynth of tunnels, go left, right, left, left, right, right. This will give you a bomb, hyper laser and full health.

Hint: Multi-player: Near-invincibility:
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.

Hint: Multi-player: Never ending game:
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.

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

Hint: Star Trek reference:
There is a small reference to the 1979 film, Star Trek - The Motion Picture in the game. Play through the easy path up to the Sector X level. Again, play the easy path, but do not take the warp to Sector Z. When you fight the large robot Boss, it occasionally says, "Where is the creator?" and, "I must be complete," in a mechanical, monotone voice. This is a reference to the character played by Persis Khambatta in the film, in which she spoke for "V-Ger," a machine who was seeking its creator so it could join with him and become complete. This adds to the humor of Fox's response: "What's he saying?", as in the movie, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy had no idea what Khambatta's character was talking about.

Glitch: Lost wing shadow:
Look at your shadow after losing either of your wings. It will still appear as though both wings are still attached.

Glitch: Shadow on mountain:
If you fly through a mountain in Fortuna, your shadow will appear as if you are going over the mountain.

Glitch: Bill speaks while dead:
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.

Glitch: Strange ring sounds:
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.

Glitch: Strange enemy:
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.

Glitch: Extra ring:
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.

Glitch: James McCloud ending:
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).


Glitch: Teammate behavior:
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.
