Simply called '''VS''', the ''[[Star Fox 64]]'s'' Versus Mode is a rather simple one: | |||
===Battle Modes=== | ===Battle Modes=== | ||
First, the players (or the player 1 actually) choose the Battle Mode. There are three different Battle Modes to choose from: | |||
*'''Point Match''': This is the basic mode, in which the player, who is the first one to shoot down the set number of other players, is the winner. The number of required kills can be set from one to five. | |||
*'''Battle Royal''': This is a very simple mode, in which each player has only one single life. The winner is the last man standing. | |||
*'''Time Trial''': This is a time-based mode, in which the players have a set number of time to shoot down enemies. However, if a player gets shot down by another player before the end of the match, his score resets back to zero. The player with the highest score at the end of the match is the winner. The time limit can be set from one to five minutes. | |||
===Characters=== | |||
After choosing the Battle Mode, the players choose their Handicap, which can be set from one (no Handicap) to three (significant Handicap). The players also choose one out of four Characters, which are determined by the controller slot in which a player's controller is plugged into: | |||
*''' | *Slot 1 is '''[[Fox McCloud]]'''. | ||
*Slot 2 is '''[[Peppy Hare]]'''. | |||
*Slot 3 is '''[[Slippy Toad]]'''. | |||
*Slot 4 is '''[[Falco Lombardi]]'''. | |||
The characters are in no way different from each other gameplay wise, so they only differ by their looks. | |||
===Stages=== | ===Stages=== | ||
=== | After choosing their characters, the players set the number of required kills if they are playing Point Match or time if they're playing Time Trial. There are no this kind of special options when playing Battle Royal. In the same window comes the Stage selection. There are a whopping three stages in ''Star Fox 64'''s Versus Mode. To make things even worse, there are only two stages to choose from per Battle Mode: | ||
*'''Corneria''': This stage is available in Point Match and Battle Royal. There are only some pyramids and buildings on this otherwise simply flat stage. The players have no vehicle restrictions. | |||
*'''Sector Z''': This is stage is playable in every Battle Mode. There is a lot of space junk on this stage, but not much else. It highly resembles its Main Game's counterpart. Since the stage is situated in space, the Arwing is the only vehicle available here. | |||
*'''Katina''': This stage is inaccessible outside Time Trial. It is very much like Corneria and has only one giant pyramid in the center of the stage, much like in the Main Game. The players have all the vehicle options available. | |||
===Vehicles=== | |||
After choosing the stage, the battle is almost ready to start. The players now have five seconds to choose one of two the vehicles, or to not use one, or it will be randomized. The vehicles available are: | |||
*'''Arwing''': The player fights with an [[Arwing]], which has an advantage over the other two options, for its flying capability and speed, which the other options more or less lack. | |||
*'''Landmaster''': The player starts the battle with a [[Landmaster]] anti-aircraft tank, which can dodge by rolling as well as hover for small perioids of time. | |||
*'''On foot''': The player has no vehicle at all and their character fights with only a huge blaster on their shoulder. The characters are also very slow without vehicles. | |||
===Power ups=== | |||
After the vehicles are chosen or the five second time limit has passed, the battle starts. There are two different power ups available. They highly affect the outcome of a battle. Only one of each upgrade appears on a stage at a time: | |||
*'''Laser''': The [[Laser]] of your character gets its firepower doubled. The player with this has a serious advantage over other players. | |||
*'''Smart Bomb''': The [[Smart Bomb]] is a one use, enormous damage causing bomb. Lock onto another player and use this to home the bomb into its target to cause some serious damage. | |||
