The First two options have Corneria and Sector-Z as the possible stages, while the time trial has Katina and Sector-Z. At first, only the Arwing is available, but the Landmaster is available after winning a medal on Venom in Normal Mode, and pilot is available after gaining a medal on Venom in Expert Mode.

*The Katina level is homage to the movie ''{{wp|Independence Day (1996 film)|Independence Day}}''. Bill Grey's name is likely homage to that of a character in the film. Slippy's reaction to the Bolse Fighters being shielded and the ending musical score for Star Fox are also homage to the film.
*The Sector Y level has many armies of mechs similar to many of the mobile suits from the anime franchise ''Mobile Suit Gundam'', for their beam rifles, shields and mobility. They can even be launched out from battleships in battle. One red-colored mech is said by Peppy to be very quick. This is a reference to ''Char Aznable'' because all of his mobile suits are red and have high mobility (hence his name, "The Red Comet"). Not only that, the boss however aside from the first two colored mechs is known to be white and launched from its own launch ship is a homage and resemblance to the ''RX-78-2 Gundam'' which is also from the same series.
