There are up to 25 different paths that [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] can take to [[Venom]] in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', each categorized into the Small, Medium, and Hard Paths.


A player can play one of many modes in the game. There is Main Game mode, which goes through the storyline, Training, which teaches the player how to play the game, VS, which can have multiple players compete through Point Match, Battle Royal, and Time Trial, Ranking, which ranks players with their name (limit 3 letters) and number of hits, Sound, which allows the player to modify the game's sound, and Data, which lets the player delete saved data.
==Small Path==
===[[Corneria]]===


=== Adventure Mode ===
Level 1: Enter Star Fox
The evil [[Andross]] is banished to the deserted wasteland of [[Venom]] by [[General Pepper]] after trying to conquer [[Corneria]], major planet of the [[Lylat System]]. Later Pepper detects strange goings on so he sends [[James McCloud]], [[Pigma Dengar]], and [[Peppy Hare]] to investigate. Upon arrival Pigma betrays the others and Andross captures them. In the fighting, Andross kills James while Peppy escapes to tell James's son [[Fox McCloud]].


Years later Andross attacks the Lylat System again and declares war. Pepper sends the new Team Star Fox, consisting of Fox, [[Falco Lombardi]], Peppy, and [[Slippy Toad]]. They go through Corneria to defeat Andross's forces there, and eventually end up fighting Andross's soldier [[Granga]] inside a mech, and destroy him. Alternately, Falco can lead Fox to the Attack Carrier, which Fox destroys sending it crashing into the ocean.

*'''Mission Accomplished:''' Save Slippy and take out [[Goras]] (Bolse).
Note: This level is thought, by some, to be harder than Macbeth due to the massive storms of enemies (some with tough armor), which makes it the game's de facto easy path level.

You have to destroy the Bolse defense satellite in order to reach Venom. After taking down the shield that's guarding the core and the [[Bolse Fighter]]s, Star Wolf appears if Fox has not defeated them before on Fichina. If he did, he then just needs to shoot the many yellow spots on the massive enemy core and decimate the satellite.

After Star Wolf had been shot down, Fox flew alone and plunged into the depths of the base deep below the crust of Venom.

There are up to 25 different paths that Star Fox team can take to Venom in Star Fox 64, each categorized into the Small, Medium, and Hard Paths.

Small Path

Corneria

Level 1: Enter Star Fox

The first level along all difficulty paths. This is Fox McCloud's homeworld. The team must fly over the ocean route to Corneria City, repel the invaders in the city, and proceed past it to fight a boss.

  • Mission Complete: Go through this stage without saving Falco, save Falco without going through all the water arches, and Falco says "Lets go!", ending in a fight with Granga (Meteo).

  • Mission Complete: Leave Star Wolf alone and let the bomb explode (Sector X).
  • Mission Accomplished: Take out Star Wolf and let Fox take care of the bomb (Solar).
  • Note: Fichina is mistakenly called Fortuna in the English version of the game. The actual Fortuna is actually an entirely different planet.

Sector X

Level 4: Mystery of the Space Base

Andross has built some secret weapon and used it to destroy the base at Sector X. You must find and destroy this secret weapon. This is the only level where you can go to an easy level, a medium level, or a hard level.

Even if you beat Spyborg fast enough to save Slippy and ended up diverting here, the mission still focuses on searching for Slippy.

  • Mission Accomplished: Save Slippy and take out Goras (Bolse).

Note: This level is thought, by some, to be harder than Macbeth due to the massive storms of enemies (some with tough armor), which makes it the game's de facto easy path level.

You have to destroy the Bolse defense satellite in order to reach Venom. After taking down the shield that's guarding the core and the Bolse Fighters, Star Wolf appears if Fox has not defeated them before on Fichina.

Fox screams at his impending doom, but, out of nowhere, the supposedly dead James McCloud appears to lead Fox out of the maze of tunnels. If Fox takes a wrong turn at any time, he runs into the fireball coming the other way and is destroyed. As they leave the base, James praises Fox's efforts before disappearing, leaving Fox to wonder if it really was his father or not. Adding to the mystery, if one pays close attention to the whole screen before the credits, one can see a light-source moving against the background of stars, like the lights that would be mounted on a spacecraft. After the credits, 'THE END' is displayed, indicating that this is the canonical end to the game.

If destroyed fast enough, each member of Star Wolf is worth +50 points. Also, after showing his true form, Andross's eye is worth +5 points each.
