| The '''Laser''' is a form of energy used by the [[Arwing]], [[Wolfen]], [[Blue Marine]], [[Landmaster]], [[Cornerian Fighter]]s, and many more vehicles. One can use the Laser by repeatedly pressing the A button, or they can charge the Laser by holding the A button. Once [[charge]]d, it will lock on to the opponent. In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' however, some starships cannot charge their Laser.
| | '''Lasers''' are a form of energy used by many vehicles, including the [[Arwing]], [[Wolfen]], [[Blue Marine]], [[Landmaster]], and [[Cornerian Fighter]]s. They appear in every ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' game, ever since the [[Star Fox (game)|first game]]. The Laser is usually used by repeatedly pressing the A button, or holding it down. Once [[charge]]d, the Lasers locks on to the opponent. Lasers cannot affect certain targets such as the hulls of some larger spacecraft. There are items named [[Laser Upgrade]]s that can enhance the lasers shot out from a vehicle. |

| There are many things that the Laser cannot affect like the hulls of some larger spacecraft.

| ==Earlier games==
| |
| In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' the Laser power up must be collected once to transform '''Single Laser''' into '''Super Laser''' and again to upgrade to '''Hyper Laser'''.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', there are two types of Laser power ups. The green one corresponds the Super Laser upgrade, but the red one upgrades the laser straight from Single to Hyper. If the red one is picked up after a green one, the Laser still changes to Hyper. Also, picking up a Hyper upgarde repairs damaged wings in the game.

| | |
| ==''Star Fox Command''==
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', most of the characters had their own personal craft, each with unique forms of Lasers and lock-on features. Only the [[Rainbow Delta]] ([[Leon Powalski]]) lacks a Laser weapon. The Laser as a supply is only present in ''Star Fox Command's ''mulitplayer mode.

| | |
| ===Single Laser===
| |
| '''Single Laser''' is the least effective of the Laser types since it only shoots out a single laser beam. Personal crafts with this Laser variation are the [[Arwing II]], however it can take upgrades ([[Fox McCloud]]), the [[Sky Claw]] ([[Falco Lombardi]]), and the [[Tadpole]] ([[Amanda]]).
| |
| | |
| ===Super Laser===
| |
| '''Super Laser''' unsurprisingly shoots out two laser beams. This makes it presumably twice as effective as Single Laser. Personal crafts with this Laser variation are the [[Cloud Runner]] ([[Krystal]]), the [[Red Fang]] ([[Wolf O'Donnell]]), the [[Monkey Arrow]] ([[Dash Bowman]]), the [[Arwing]]s of [[Peppy Hare]] and [[James McCloud]], and the [[Cornerian Fighter]]s of [[Bill Grey]] and [[Krystal]].
| |
| | |
| ===Plasma Laser===
| |
| '''Plasma Laser''' shoots out two round shots. It is better than Twin Laser. The only personal crafts with this Laser variation are the [[Bullfrog]] ([[Slippy Toad]]) and the [[Sky Bunny]] ([[Lucy Hare]]).
| |
| | |
| ===Arc Laser===
| |
| '''Arc Laser''', also known as '''Curve Laser''', is even better than Plasma Laser. The only personal craft with type of Laser is the [[Cat's Paw II]] ([[Katt Monroe]]).
| |
| | |
| ===Zapper Laser===
| |
| '''Zapper Laser''' is the best Laser available. Only the [[Black Rose]] ([[Panther Caroso]]) is equipped with this mighty Laser. However, it is slow.
| |
| | |
| ==Lasers in real life==
| |
| LASER is an acronym standing for Light Amplified by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Unfortunately for Star Fox, real lasers are made only of light and as such are invisible (neglecting corona effects, which would be negligible in space) and require prohibitively amounts of energy to function. It is likely that the Star Fox "laser" weapons are actually highly advanced [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun railgun]-based [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics) plasma] weapons or directed energy weapons and are referred to as "lasers" as slang term.
