Fox had to destroy the Bolse defense satellite in order to reach Venom. After taking down the shield that was guarding the core and the Invader III fighters, Star Wolf appeared if they weren't defeated on Fichina. If they were, Fox just needed to shoot the many yellow spots on the massive enemy core and decimate the satellite.

Macbeth is the closest planet to Venom. It appears as a mass-machinery planet. You must take out the base there. Your approach to the base is following a supply train in the [[Landmaster]], towards the end of the level you travel past 8 switches that open the lock on the train tracks, (If you came from Zoness, Katt shoots two for you) with Falco taking one off your hands.

The Star Fox team flew down directly over Andross' base. Before they could enter, however, an updated Star Wolf team arrives in their new ships, the Wolfen II. The Star Fox team was forced to fight them before they could proceed. Since the Wolfen II's were heavily upgraded, bombs and lock-on lasers had no effect. After Star Wolf had been shot down, Fox flew alone and plunged into the depths of the base deep below the crust of Venom.

Fox flew through a maze of tunnels and corridors before reaching Andross and fighting him. After destroying his disembodied hands and head, Andross's True Form was revealed to be a gigantic brain with bio-mechanical eyes. Moving into all-range mode, Fox destroyed the eyes and then the brain. As he dies, Andross self-destructed. Fox screamed 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.

Peace was restored to the Lylat System and General Pepper asks Star Fox if they want to join the Cornerian Army. Fox says they prefer to do things their own way, and return to the Great Fox. Pepper gives Fox a lot of money for defeating Andross and his forces.

'''False ending''': If Slippy is snatched during the Spyborg battle, if a single missile hits the Great Fox at Sector Z, or if the eight switches are not hit in time on Macbeth (so that only Mechbeth and not the train is destroyed), Star Fox will attack Venom through Bolse rather than Area 6. Arriving at Venom from Bolse, Fox will fight a golem and then face Andross at the core, revealing him to be a robotic, false version of Andross, which is destroyed while the real Andross survives. This is the non-canon ending, given ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''.
'''Before Fighting Andross' True Form''': The Star Fox Team fights their way across the surface of Venom, through wave upon wave of enemy fighters. They fly through a temple, defeating a rock golem boss, before reaching Andross' base. Fox declares that he'll "go it alone" and plunges into the depths of the base, deep below the crust of Venom. At the end of a long tunnel, Fox fights Andross. Fox defeats him before fleeing the base as it begins to explode. However, it is revealed at the end of the credits that Fox only defeated an android form of Andross, and Andross' image is seen at the end laughing maniacally. He comes back when the Star Fox Team arrives via the Hard Path, this time, they fight Andross's true form.
