'''Star Fox''' was a game released on the {{snes}} in 1993. It was remade as ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.<ref name="remake"></ref> It was known in PAL regions as '''Starwing'''.

* In the PAL regions, this game was released as ''Starwing''. This is largely because of a game released on the Atari 2600 ten years earlier, also called ''Star Fox'', which bears no relation to this title. While the developers, Mythicon, could not obtain a trademark in the United States for the name 'Star Fox', they were granted one in Europe, despite never using it. It is believed that Nintendo changed the name on the game's box artwork and title screen to ''Starwing'' in PAL versions to avoid any possible court cases with the then trademark holders (Mythicon disbanded soon after the US release of their version of ''Star Fox''). It should be noted that no other changes were made in-game, i.e. the phrase 'Star Fox' still appears as is in-game. For similar reasons, ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' was renamed ''Lylat Wars'' in Europe four years later.
