The best mission in Starfox games

[DaBrain]

What was your favourite mission from all Starfox games?
And why?


Ok, let me begin. I think the best mission ever was the first mission (easy) of the classic Starfox. Everything was perfect. It was full of action and the music was the best in the whole game (IMHO). And don't forget the boss. ;)

[Axem]

Area 6 from Star Fox 64.

It had everything, non-stop enemies, great music, Venom growing in the background, a large fleet of cap ships trying to take you out. The boss there wasn't that great, but still. Best stage ever!

[Blue Thunder]

my favorite mission would probably have to be Marcobne Base (i cant remember it's correct name, but it's right after the 2nd mission\asteroid field). You fly in and blast some crappy ships, then you meet Star Wolf (for the first time i think), then it's a race to down all of the Star Wolf team and get the bomb of the base before it blows up. it was hard after the first 20 goes to down Star Wolfs team, but i finally did it!

Area 6 was pretty cool, but i found it too confusing, although it was the first time i had actually made it to that level, but still i loved thos cap-ships. It was the first time i had seen cap-ships apart from bosses and that starfox mothership.

I also liked that mission with the train, and you have to hit all those switches for a special ending. Kartana base was also pretty good was was this other mission where you're flying over an ocean filled with enemy boats, oil rigs, aircraft, etc..... and you've gotta destroy all these search lights.

Oh and who can forget Sector X..... And the mission i hated most was probably that aqua mission where you're in that Blue Marine submarine.

Hey Blue Thunder,
:welcome t

[Blue Thunder]

Hey MathhhewPapa! thnx for the welcome.

[OmegaUltima]

My favourite mission would probably have to be the "independance day" rip off mission (Middle planet after asteroid field)

[Axem]

This one? ;)

Note: THIS IS NOT INGAME, just a scene from SF64 with our effects added in through Photoshop.

Take that DaB! :p

[AqueousShadow]

LMAO!!!! Axem, wtf are you doing...?

[Axem]

:eek2:

He's alive! Quick tie him up and drag him into the internal!

[jc4jc]

I liked: Sector Y, Sector Z, Area 6, and the "independence day" rip off as OmegaUltima called it.

Sector Y - large battle/ship graveyard gave it a nice feel.

Sector Z - on of the hardest to get the medal, for me anyway, but I like how it sets up an accual defence mission.

Area 6 - lot of action, tons of ships to destroy, most kills.

Katana?- I like how you have to use sound military tactics and quick thinking to keep from destroying you own ships.

What would be great is to have a large scale battle a mixture of Sector's Y & Z ans Area 6

[Fox McCloud]

My favorite missions hmm?

Star Fox 64- I really like the Macbeth mission, chaising the train then watch it hit the weapons factory is always fun to see. I like the Katina mission, or as most people call it "The Independence Day rip". I also like Venom II, the part where you fight Star Wolf team in their upgraded ships. I like Corneria, and I also like Area 6, it's constant action.

For Star Fox (snes)- My favorite mission (easily) is the mission called "Out of this Dimension". As for main game missions, I like Fortuna, Corneria, Meteo, (the asteroid park one..) and well...that's about it.

Star Fox 2 (not released)- This one is hard to say which is my favorite mission, b/c there really isn't "missions" it's more of a RTS game with Star Fox elements mixed in....I love the whole game in general, I don't know why it was never released.

Star Fox Assault- Haven't played it yet.

[slippy]

I like Zonez the best


(parden my spelling lol)

[N69]

Area 6 from Star Fox 64.
It had everything, non-stop enemies, great music, Venom growing in the background, a large fleet of cap ships trying to take you out. The boss there wasn't that great, but still. Best stage ever!


I'd have to agree with Axem, Area 6 was the best, with tons of action, great music, the boss battle wasn't tough but if you didn't kill it quick you'd only get 5 points instead of 10.

And you could kill so many guys I think my highest score on that level was 342, because I would get 9 bombs from Zoness and save them all for Area 6.

[Fox_McCloud3232]

my favorite mission would probrably be classic corneria and sf assaults sauria
all in all my FAVE mission would be meteo (sf assault)
the music was the best meteo music ever and there was TONS of action (Peppy: be careful not to hit that wall!) (that was hard not to hit those pillar thingy's inside the base) i like a good chalange thats why i cant wait to see what d.z composer did to the meteo music and what da-brain did with the map :):naughty::nod:

[Syphe D. Mar]

Star Fox 64 - Heck, the whole game was great. I'd call it the Golden Age of Star Fox. My most favorite? Don't have a particular one mission... Corneria, Fichina*, Area 6, and Katina. I think I remember seeing an Invader I, but are the IIs and IIIs coming as well? Capital ships? This game is the only SF game with the asteroid field named Meteo. Others are just called Asteroid Fields, although assumed to be Meteo.

Star Fox: Assault - Er... First mission. The only one that's fun and beautiful. Everything else is just rubbish.

Star Fox Command - Um... missions involving Star Wolf? The whole system is the same in each level. Don't know what's to a "fave" here, other than the music, of course. But that's character-wise.

*Typo occurred in SF64 when they Fichina was named Fortuna. Assault fixed it.

@Guy on the bottom: I never said you had to. You don't have to comment everything either.

[strike911]

in my opinion Corneria on the SNES was the most adrenaline filled level I can remember. Its just a fantastic way to start off a game, the music was incredibly action oriented, the level was fast paced and fun, there were freakin' robots you could pulverize (lol), and the boss was great. The SF64 version was great too. Corneria has always been a great level in the SNES version and the N64 version. The first on rails level from Assault wasn't bad either... although, there weren't nearly enough in that game, which made me sad.

As for other levels that I liked, Katina from SF64 was GREAT! Something about being famous pilots being a part of a huge military air battle is a wonderful feeling.... It's great to see Cornerians of all types trying to defend themselves with the player in the middle of it. It's great. That kind of immersion wasn't seen very much back in the day, and it's not seen much still today. That level blew me away the first time I played it, in fact, I still have the promo StarFox64 video that showed this level and I remember just being wowed. Also, I enjoyed the Bolse level in sf64. I know im probably a minority here, but that level was undeniably fun, and while Area 6 was a blast for the sheer amounts of enemies, and for the fact that you could take out capital ships (!!), Bolse was just plain fun. The fact that enemies were shielded and bounced around when you shot them was interesting. I dug that.



That's my 2 cents.

[XG Fox]

StarFox 64 - Katina
- Why? Independence Day reference. Blowing up a huge mothership is ALWAYS a cool thing to do.

StarFox 64 - Fortuna
- Why? 4 on 4, StarFox versus StarWolf. It doesn't get any better than that.

StarFox 64 - Bolse
- Why? This stage was kinda crazy, to say the least. To be able to destroy the shield generators it seemed like you had to use the gravity or something to slingshot yourself to each one without ramming into a vertical post mounted somewhere on the station. (from what I remember anyway, it's been a while.) The core was pretty fun to blow up, each time you hit a target laserfire would pour out of that location, calling for a LOT more technical flying if you were gonna get out of there without being too badly damaged. StarWolf appeared here if you skipped Fortuna, which again added to the fun factor. :3

StarFox Assault - Orbital Gate: Incoming
- Why? This one's my absolute favorite stage of all time. Your team of 4 versus an endless onslaught of Aparoids trying to destroy the Orbital Gate. The little Aparoid fighters can't do the job, so they send missiles... then more missiles... then BIGGER missiles... and then... the BIG one. StarWolf pops in to help out too, which just makes it that much more awesome.


Can anyone tell I'm a huge All-Range Mode fan? <.<?

[Flamewave]

I lack an appropriate image macro for thread necroing.


Though since I never did get to answer the question - most likely Katina and MacBeth from SF64.

[strike911]

Oh I forgot to mention the first level of Assault, where you're in that huge battle with all the battleships EVERYWHERE, that was also a great way to introduce that game... sadly it didn't capitalize on that momentum, imo. But still Starfox games always have stellar first levels, lol.

[Fox_McCloud3232]

still think the "meteo" and the orbital gate were the best.... :nervous:

[FLYINGTOASTR]

i am stuck between area six from sf64 and meteo from sf64.

i am new here, is there a thread where i can introduce myself?

[DaBrain]

Looks like there isn't the one best StarFox level. My favorite levels change each time I play a SF game anyway. ;)

Anyway, hi!
There is a thread for new GW members:

[Devestator]

I have to go with either Area 6 or zoness from 64.

Area 6: What's not to like here? You just ran the biggest blockade in history, with just four fighters and a captial ship that dosen't even have any turrets.

Zoness: Most of the most creative bosses we've seen in a long time. Searchlights making it nigh-impossible to get the medal if you get spotted early on was intresting too.

Honorable Mentions: Sector Y (64) and Space Armada (Star Fox SNES)

Oh, and the intro thread is linked from here:

[Star Fox Fan]

Lylatwars - Area 6 - excellent music, and about the only level I consider to be an improvement over Space Armada (Starwing). Also about the same reasons as I like that level

Starwing - Space Armada - whether it moves or not, shoot it, and shoot it many times. 'twas and is an enjoyable level for that reason

and welcome FLYINGTOASTR

[Fox_McCloud3232]

STILL THINKIN BOUT METEO AND ORBITAL GATE! come on! suspenceful music... plenty of enemies... what more could you want?

[Fenix]

As far as favorites are, I'd have to go with the training missions. Seriously, I love flying around the SF64 one, aimlessly shooting down drone ships and the occasional wolfen. I do wish they were a bit smarter though, or that new enemies would enter the area after a while.

[Fox_McCloud3232]

...yeah the training missions were fun but THE ENEMYS PPL THE ENEMYS!

[Devestator]

Ah, orbital gate! i knew there was one from assault I liked! :P

...Uh...That looks bigger than a missile...

[CamInHead]

Venom, with The Great Commander (iirc that was it's name) battle at the end, SNES

the "Blade Barrier" boss was ace too (SNES also).

[Fox_McCloud3232]

Ah, orbital gate! i knew there was one from assault I liked! :P

...Uh...That looks bigger than a missile...
FIANALLYT SOMEONE WHO AGREES! anyways ya i love that mission!:p

[OniLink123]

My favorite levels would have to be Katina because being stuck in the middle of a huge battle with so many team mates is just cool, I also like Area 6,Meteo,and venom II just because of the fact its more chalenging than the fichina fight.
