Nintendo Hard is now YMMV

* NintendoHard: The game is short, but it doesn't have a save feature, which means it has to be beaten in one go. The primitive 3D graphics can make it difficult to figure out the distance between things or what's an enemy.

* InconsistentSpelling: Some boss names differ between the cast roll in the ending and the instruction booklet. For instance, Atomic Base is the Atomic Core, Galactic Rider is Galactic Riders, Professor Hanger is Professor Hangar, and Monarch Dodora is Monarch Dodra (which was also the spelling used in ''Star Fox Command'', but not ''Star Fox Zero''). This is a minor mistranslation in the manual, as the Japanese version does not share this discrepancy.

''Star Fox'' (released as ''Starwing'' in Europe), jointly developed by Creator/{{Nintendo}} and Creator/ArgonautSoftware, was the very first entry of the ''Franchise/StarFox'' series. It was released in 1993 for the UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem alongside an accompanying [[ComicStrip/StarFox comic series]] in Magazine/NintendoPower; the comic actually began publication before the game itself was released, providing the first introduction to the game's story, setting and characters. ''Star Fox'' was the second best-selling title of the franchise, only outsold by ''VideoGame/StarFox64'', ''Star Fox'''s own [[ContinuityReboot reboot]] only four years later in 1997. ''Star Fox 64'' so overshadowed its predecessor that some fans to this day are still [[AdaptationDisplacement unaware of the original game's existence]].
''Star Fox'' was the first game to include the Super FX chip, a coprocessor that provided (at the time) cutting edge 3D polygon graphics, years before the UsefulNotes/PlayStation and UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} systems made this the norm in console video game design. A sequel utilizing the revised Super FX chip, ''VideoGame/StarFox2'', was developed for Super NES, but due to the looming release of the Nintendo 64 (which wouldn't come out for a year), [[ScrewedByTheNetwork it was unceremoniously canceled]]. Even so, ''Star Fox 2'' [[UnCancelled was officially released]] as part of the SNES Classic Edition on September 29, 2017, along with this game having its first ever re-release.
