'''Star Fox''' is the first game in the [[Portal:Star Fox|Star Fox series]]. In Europe, the game is known as ''StarWing'' due to copyright issues. This game was also the first game to use the Super FX chip. The game features 3D graphics that were uncommon and impressive at the time. 

=Story=

StarFox is an elite mercenary unit hired by [[General Pepper]] to defeat [[Andross]]. [[Fox McCloud]], with the help of fellow pilots [[Falco Lombardi]], [[Peppy Hare]], and [[Slippy Toad]], is on the job.

=Gameplay=

The player controls Fox's [[Arwing]] throughout the game. The game is a third-person rail shooter. The player can dodge obstacles and shoot down various enemies. At the end of each level, there is a final boss the player must defeat. After finishing each level, the player gets a score based on how many enemies they shot down and how well they defending their teammates.

''Star Fox'' was different from other rail shooters in several ways. For one thing, the player had some amount of control over their speed. Also, the player could bump into objects in the level without immediately having their ship destroyed. Also, there was a certain amount of localized damage.

In each level, the player's wing mates will appear on the screen either chasing an enemy or being chased themselves. If they are being chased, not helping will result in their Arwing being damaged or shot down. If they get shot down, they won't return.

The way the game's difficulty was set was also unique. Instead of simply having the player choose between Easy, Medium, and Hard like most games, ''Star Fox'' as has a different set of levels to play through with different degrees of difficulty. This increased the replay value quite a bit. Each path began with [[Corneria]] and ended with [[Venom]], however, each path had a unique version of the level.

=Legacy=

''Star Fox'' has spawned a large series of games. ''Star Fox'' characters [[Fox McCloud]] and [[Falco Lombardi]] are both playable characters in the [[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. series]]. ''Star Fox'' has also been used for one of [[9-Volt]]'s microgames in ''[[Warioware: Smooth Moves]]''

==Sequels==

After finishing ''Star Fox'', [[Nintendo EAD]] starting working on ''Star Fox 2''. The game was never released, though one programmer has said it was completed. Eventually, ''[[StarFox 64]]'' was released.

==Ports and Remakes==

*Shortly after the games release, Nintendo released ''Star Fox Super Weekend Competition''. This was a shortened version of the game featuring only three levels.
*''[[StarFox 64]]'' was partially a remake of the ''Star Fox 2'', mostly storywise. The game featured mostly original content and leftover features from ''Star Fox 2'', although some classic ''Star Fox'' stages and enemies were similar to the original game.
