  • Creator Backlash: A minor example: In an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto in the official Star Fox 64 Player's Guide from Nintendo, Miyamoto said that he'd never been happy with the visuals of the original Star Fox, and that this was a large part of the impetus to remake the game for the Nintendo 64.
  • Follow the Leader: Vortex is very similar to Star Fox as both of them were developed by the same company. The difference being that Vortex builds and improves upon what was learned from Star Fox.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: It took 24 years for the game to get an official rerelease. It was skipped over for inclusion on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console shops for unknown reasons (the most common theories being emulation difficulties and/or legal issues involving the SuperFX chip). Finally averted in 2017, when it was included in the SNES Classic, and again in 2019 when it was included as part of the Nintendo Switch online service.
  • No Export for You: The companion comic by Benimaru Itoh was made in the western left-to-right horizontal text style rather than the typical Japanese right-to-left vertical text style, and this Western-style format was also used later with Farewell, Beloved Falco. But whereas Farewell wasn't officially published outside Japan, the Star Fox comic adaptation wasn't officially published in Japan. The Star Fox Mission File Printout is thought to be the Japan-only equivalent of the Nintendo Power comic and even features Itoh's illustrations.
  • What Could Have Been: A 3DS port was suggested after Star Fox 64 3D was finished.
