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. | The Star Fox team flew down directly over Andross' base.

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.

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 (64 dollars for each Venomian unit destroyed).{{CitationNeeded}} | Peace was restored to the Lylat System and General Pepper asks Star Fox if they want to join the Cornerian Army.

''' | '''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. | ||
