View source for Charge

The '''Charge''' function, available in [[Arwing]]s, [[Wolfen]]s and [[Landmaster]]s, allows the pilot to charge up his/her [[Laser]] to provide a devastating charged shot. The charge also receives targeting data from the [[Targeting Computer]], allowing a charged shot to lock-on, and home to its target. Excluding ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', the Charge works similarly in every vehicle. A player must hold the A Button to begin charging, and when a targeting reticule appears, the Charge is ready to be launched by releasing the A Button, then pressing it again.

==''Star Fox Command''==

In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', locking-on can be initiated with ''any'' button on [[Nintendo DS]], of course excluding the Power, Start and Select -buttons. The personal aircraft of each character has its own Laser and lock-on features. Some personal crafts have no lock-on feature available at all. These are [[Bullfrog]] ([[Slippy Toad]]), [[Black Rose]] ([[Panther Caroso]]) and the [[Cornerian Fighter]]s of [[Bill Grey]] and [[Krystal]].

===Single Lock===

Crafts with '''Single Lock''' can only lock-on to one target at a time. Personal crafts with this lock-on feature: [[Arwing II]] ([[Fox McCloud]]), [[Cloud Runner]] ([[Krystal]]), [[Sky Bunny]] ([[Lucy Hare]]), [[Cat's Paw II]] ([[Katt Monroe]]), [[Monkey Arrow]] ([[Dash Bowman]]) and the [[Arwing]]s of [[Peppy Hare]] and [[James McCloud]]. The Single Lock is the traditional locking-on system, and it behaves just like in previous games. A player must hold a button down to charge and release to shoot.

===Multi Lock===

With '''Multi Lock''', a craft can target up to five targets at once. Personal crafts with this lock-on feature: [[Sky Claw]] ([[Falco Lombardi]]), [[Tadpole]] ([[Amanda]]) and [[Red Fang]] ([[Wolf O'Donnell]]). The Multi Lock is similar to Single Lock, but it damages up to five targets upon shooting.

===Wide Lock===

'''Wide Lock''' enables a craft to lock-on to every visible target. The only personal craft with this lock-on feature is [[Rainbow Delta]] ([[Leon Powalski]]). The Wide Lock is very simple to use. A player merely has to hold down a button and the [[Targeting Computer]] takes care of both targeting every possible target and shooting them.
