* In the PAL regions, this game was released as ''Starwing''. Many fans believe to be because of [[wikipedia:Star Fox (1983 video game)|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. | * In the PAL regions, this game was released as ''Starwing''.

**However, according to an interview with [[Dylan Cuthbert]] in the British [[wikipedia:Official Nintendo Magazine|Official Nintendo Magazine]], the renaming of the game was to avoid confusing the game with an unrelated European company called Star Vox, as the letter "V", in some languages like Dutch and German, is pronounced as the letter "F" <ref>http://blamethecontrolpad.com/argonaut/argonaut2.htm</ref>. | **However, according to an interview with [[Dylan Cuthbert]] in the British [[wikipedia:Official Nintendo Magazine|Official Nintendo Magazine]], the renaming of the game was to avoid confusing the game with an unrelated European company called Star Vox, as the letter "V", in some languages like Dutch and German, is pronounced as the letter "F" <ref>http://blamethecontrolpad.com/argonaut/argonaut2.htm</ref>. | ||
