===''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''===
Lasers first appear in ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''. In this game, collecting a Laser increases the total count by one. When collected twice, it allows the Arwing to fire bolts of plasma. The upgrade is permanent unless one of the wings breaks, or if the player loses a life.

===''Star Fox 2''===
===''[[Star Fox 2]]''===
In ''[[Star Fox 2]]'', Lasers are also found in various locations and can be obtained by defeating enemies. [[Miyu]] and [[Fay]] start out with the first upgrade by default, so collecting one as either character allows them to receive a full upgrade.

===''Star Fox 64''===
===''[[Star Fox 64]]''===
In ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', the item can be obtained by destroying certain enemies or obstacles. [[ROB 64]] occasionally sends a Laser from a [[Supply Container]]. One Laser is equivalent to a Single Laser. Collecting two Lasers upgrades it to a Super Laser, while three Lasers equate to the final Hyper Laser upgrade. This is also the case in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', during the mission of flying down to a planet. Lasers also appear in the remake, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''.
In ''Star Fox 64'', Laser powerups can be found throughout every stage. Some can only be obtained by destroying certain enemies and obstacles, and any [[Supply Container]] opened while using the single laser with no broken wings will always contain a Laser upgrade. Collecting a Laser upgrade will allow Fox's [[Arwing]] to fire Twin Lasers, while collecting a second will further upgrade the ship to fire Hyper Lasers. If the Arwing loses a wing or is destroyed, it will revert to the default, single Laser. Lasers also appear in the remake, ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]'', where they are functionally identical to the original.


===''Star Fox: Assault''===
===''[[Star Fox: Assault]]''===
In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', Lasers were renamed to Power Upgrades. There are two variants: a Green Power Upgrade and a Red Power Upgrade. The green one corresponds to the Super Laser upgrade, while the red one corresponds to the Hyper Laser. The Red Power Upgrade does not necessarily have to be upgraded from the green ones, and are even capable of repairing damaged aircraft wings.

===''Star Fox Command''===
===''[[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. As a supply, the Laser is only present in multiplayer mode. Some aircraft are incapable of firing lasers. There are five types of Laser in the game.

The 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]], the [[Sky Claw]], and the [[Tadpole]]. When piloted by Fox McCloud, he can take additional Laser upgrades.
====Laser types====
=====Single=====
The 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]], the [[Sky Claw]], and the [[Tadpole]]. Fox can upgrade the lasers on his craft depending on the story route taken, removing the single laser in favor of the twin or plasma lasers.


The Super Laser also appears, but it was renamed to Twin Laser. It still retains its functionality: by having the capability of firing two Lasers. This upgrade is usable by most vehicles, including the [[Cloud Runner]], [[Red Fang]], [[Monkey Arrow]], some [[Arwing]]s, and some [[Cornerian Fighter]]s.
=====Twin=====
The twin laser retains its functionality from previous games, firing two lasers at once. This upgrade is usable by most vehicles, including the [[Cloud Runner]], [[Red Fang]], [[Monkey Arrow]], some [[Arwing]]s, and some [[Cornerian Fighter]]s.


The Plasma Laser shoots out two round shots and is more effective than Twin Laser. It is only usable by the [[Bullfrog]] and the [[Sky Bunny]]. The Arc Laser (also known as Curve Laser) is slightly more powerful that the Plasma Laser, and is only usable by the [[Cat's Paw II]].
=====Plasma=====
The Plasma Laser fires two powerful balls of energy. It is only usable by the [[Bullfrog]] and the [[Sky Bunny]], although Fox can upgrade his [[Arwing II]] to use this laser if certain story conditions are met. <!--What story path is this?--> The Arc Laser (also known as Curve Laser) is slightly more powerful that the Plasma Laser, and is only usable by the [[Cat's Paw II]].


The Zapper Laser is the most powerful type of Laser, but it is also the slowest. The [[Black Rose]] is the only aircraft with the ability to use the Laser.
=====Zapper=====
The Zapper Laser is the most powerful type of Laser, firing a single, powerful blast. It suffers from a low rate of fire but has a high damage output. The [[Black Rose]] is the only aircraft with the ability to use this weapon.
