Unused Graphics

Title Screen Copyright

An earlier 1996 copyright notice goes unused in every region. It can be spotted in a pre-release screenshot of the Japanese title screen.

Old Copyright Notice	Early Title Screen

HUD Elements

To do: Get more prototype screenshots for comparison.

Many unused HUD graphics as well as their palettes are still buried inside the final game. While some are duplicates or otherwise very similar copies to those used in-game (such as the numbers 0-9 and C-Button graphics), these specific images do not appear to be referenced by the game at all.

Tutorial

GFX	Description
	An image of an Arwing performing a U-Turn.
	An image of an Arwing diving.
	A sprite of the N64 Control Stick.

Radar

Unused early radar map in Katina's bank.

Portraits

Unused Pilot

GFX	Description
	Bill's early mugshot, which can be found in Katina's level data. He can be seen with this portrait in magazine screenshots. The model appears to be recycled for the generic soldiers in the award ceremony.

Larger Falco Portrait

GFX	Description
	A x64 portrait of Falco, larger than the usual x44. Each frame was split in two. No other character has one of this size in the final ROM.

Radio Static

GFX	Description
	Unused radio static effect for portraits. x64 instead of x44.
	Newer (but still not final) static effect, judging by the x44 size.

Sprites

Pink Ball and Explosion

GFX	Description
	Unused. In Shoshinkai '96 footage, the Meteo Crusher fires a swarm of them. In early magazine screenshots, rings of them circle downed enemies on Zoness.
	An accompanying explosion effect, suggesting the ball was a projectile.

Meteo Ball

Seemingly unused sprite in Meteo. In the source files, it's simply named ball. Grouped with the Meteo Crusher's assets. Possibly a replacement of the pink ball attack from the Shoshinkai '96 footage, before the attack was cut completely.

Early Sector X

Early bluer version of the Sector X nebula. Visible in magazine screenshots on the Lylat map.

Oddly, it is grouped with Meteo's textures in the final ROM, and Meteo's assets in the source code. The file is named AS_Spacekumo.rgba (AS for asteroid, kumo meaning cloud, so "space cloud"). Footage from E3 '96 showed Meteo with an orangish-pink nebula in the background, suggesting Sector X's sprite likely started as a generic background for Meteo. Titania however was between Meteo and the Sector X bioweapons lab at the time. Could also be an early warp zone background.

Cornerian Fighters in Corneria City

• 
• 
• 

Three textures resembling the ones used for Bill's ship and the Cornerian fighters on Katina. However, they were found in Corneria's bank. In the source files, they are named "CN_Airship." These textures indicate Cornerian fighters would have flown in Corneria city, which is corroborated by Peppy and Slippy's cut lines from the developers' dub.

Unused Bomb Pickup Model

In Aquas only, an unused bomb model can be seen by spawning a bomb drop in the level. It appears to resemble a torpedo. The model itself is very large when the item appears on-screen.

Note: In the screenshots, the Aquas map was manually brightened up via hacking for a better capture.

Unused Laser Types

Unused coding exists for a different type of single shot laser. This coding is only used by Star Fox and Star Wolf. There's a single dual red laser that isn't actually used by Star Wolf. They are all purely cosmetic differences.

NA 1.0	NA 1.1	AU	EU	JP	iQue
81034F70 2405 81034F72 00??	810393E0 2405 810393E2 00??	810393B0 2405 810393B2 00??	810393A0 2405 810393A2 00??	81036250 2405 81036252 00??	8103844C 2405 8103844E 00??

00 Regular
01 Single red laser (used by Star Wolf)
02 Dual green laser (used by Bill)
03 Dual red laser

In the Star Wolf Venom battle, Star Wolf only uses ID 01 laser type, not the 03 type.

Unused Engine Color

An unused light orange-ish engine color set remains in the game. This color set isn't exclusive to Star Fox, any enemy in the game could have used it as well. The entire set of engine colors are below as well.

Red (used on ground levels)	Blue (used in space levels)
Green (used only by enemies)	Orange (Copperhead Missile)

NA 1.0	NA 1.1	AU	EU	JP	iQue
81050484 2404 81050486 00?? 81056B44 2404 81056B46 00??	810548F4 2404 810548F6 00?? 8105AFB4 2404 8105AFB6 00??	81054884 2404 81054886 00?? 8105AFF4 2404 8105AFF6 00??	81054874 2404 81054876 00?? 8105AFF4 2404 8105AFF6 00??	81051744 2404 81051746 00?? 81057DE4 2404 81057DE6 00??	8105396C 2404 8105396E 00?? 8105A024 2404 8105A026 00??

The first two codes are for Fox and the last two codes are for Falco, Peppy and Slippy. This was possibly an early color design for Fox's team as the actor IDs for each color match Fox, Falco, Slippy, and Peppy in that order. The 3DS remake would implement this in its multiplayer mode.

00 = Red
01 = Blue
02 = Green
03 = Orange

Unused Shield

A shield is used by Star Wolf and the enemies on Bolse before all barriers are destroyed, but is never made available to the player. It can be enabled with the following GameShark codes depending on version.

NA 1.0	NA 1.1	AU	EU	JP	iQue
8116D940 0001	81177AD0 0001	81179B38 0001	81179C38 0001	8117D270 0001	8116FFF8 0001

If you collide with anything, you won't take any damage, nor will you ever lose your wings. The shield is only visible when used on Arwing levels, but also gives invincibility to the Landmaster and the Blue-Marine.

This was later made available in the 3D remake, as a multiplayer powerup.

Unused Venom 1 Sub-section

An unused sub-section after the regular data of Venom 1 can be seen here. A very short and glitched version of Venom 1. It's possible this may have been an early way to get to Venom 2 but was scrapped very early on.

Apply this code to the US 1.0 version of the game to always enable sub-section loading if the level has one: 8016E0EF 0001

(Source: Punk7890)

Unused Area 6 Level

An unused Area 6-like level can be seen here. It simply contains a worm-like enemy from Meteo. The level cannot be completed.

Enter a planet with the below code on to appear here.

NA 1.0	NA 1.1	AU	EU	JP	iQue
8016E0A7 0004	80178237 0004	8017A29F 0004	8017A39F 0004	8017D9D7 0004	8017075F 0004

Crash Debugger

Star Fox 64 contains a very simple crash debugger. To trigger it, crash the game in some way; you should then see a white line in the top right corner. Now hold R and input the following button sequence:

• C-Left + C-Down
• A (twice)
• B (twice)
• C-Left (twice)
• A
• B
• C-Left (five times)
• Start

All there is to the crash debugger is a single page containing the registers at the time of crashing.

Unused Sounds

To do: Probably more unused stuff inside this file. The following codes could also help in finding which voice clips are unused and which ones are just very rare to hear: Zero Health Falco: 8016D727 0000 Zero Health Peppy: 8016D72F 0000 Zero Health Slippy: 8016D72B 0000

Voices

Katina

Voice	Speaker	Notes
	Bill	"Stick around for awhile."
	Bill	"Here's something for ya Fox."

Voice	Speaker	Notes
	Slippy	"I'm beaten up pretty bad."

Venom 2

Voice	Speaker	Notes
	Andross	"Hurry, Fox. I'm waiting for you!"

Miscellaneous

Messages that could have appeared in any mission. Note that the unused voices for Falco, Peppy, and Slippy in this section differ from the level specific dialog they say in Sector Y and Venom 1. The only place you can go "up" or "down" is in Sector Y.

Voice	Speaker	Notes
	Andross	"Those tin cans are no match for me!" The used version of this is spoken faster, said in one take and is more menacing.
	Falco	"I'm going right!"
		"I'm going left!"
		"I'm going up!"
		"I'm going down!"
	Peppy	"I'm going right!"
		"I'm going left!"
		"I'm going up!"
		"I'm going down!"
		"Hold A to lock on to the enemy."
		"To get rid of the aim, pause and press R."
		"Press C-Left to boost!"
		"Press Down and C-Left to do a somersault."
		"For a U-turn, press Down and C-Down."
		"Press B to bomb."
		"Press C-Down to brake."
		"To hover, press Z and R."
	Slippy	"I'm going up!" "I'm going down!" Slippy's left/right dialog is used in Venom 1 and not classified as level specific.
	Slippy	"Heh heh.. try and stop me."
	Slippy	"Great, Fox!"
	ROB64	"Good job."
	ROB64	"Position confirmed. Everything OK."
	Fox	"Falco."
		"Peppy."
		"Are you OK?"

SFX

The below sounds can be heard by applying the below code for the US V1.0 version of the game. This replaces the scrolling SFX in the ranking screen in the main menu.

8118CF56 00??

?? = 0A or 0B

A generic error sound.

Possibly an early power-up sound as this is mixed in that area.

(Source: Punk7890 - entire section)

Star Wolf on Katina

For some reason, Star Wolf's bank is loaded in on Katina. There are no triggers for them to normally spawn, however. This is the only all range mode fight that they are loaded in, outside of the regular planets you fight them in. Trying to load them in any other all range mode they do not normally appear in causes the game to crash.

Revisional Differences

On v1.0, achieving a score of over 511 on a single level causes the game to subtract 256 from this level's score and the total score on the rankings. v1.1 patched this by limiting the score on a single level to 511.

Regional Differences

Title Screen

The USA and Japanese versions have slightly different logos at the title screen. Compared to the Japanese version, the US title naturally lacks the katakana transcription of the title but also has a slightly brighter color scheme and removes the "fox tail" behind the 64 graphic, which was itself redrawn to be less stylized. The European and Australian versions were renamed not Starwing 64 as would logically be expected, but Lylat Wars. Who knows why.

Mission Briefings

Speaker	Japanese	Translated	English	Notes
Pepper	そこは灼熱地獄だ！アーウィンの機体では心配だ！ 無茶をするな　フォックス。	That place is a burning hell! I'm worried about the Arwing's frame! Don't be reckless, Fox.	That area's an oven! Don't go burning that Arwing! Be reasonable, Fox!	Can't say "hell" in a Nintendo game!
Fox	頭を冷やして行きますよ。	I'll keep a cool head.	I'll be careful.	They really passed up this pun?
Pepper	そこは敵の宇宙基地が、ある恐ろしい新兵器を開発中 との情報が入っているが・・・	An enemy space base is developing a terrifying new weapon. That's the information that's coming in, but...	Reports indicate that Andross is working on some secret weapon.
Fox	この目で確かめてみます。	I will check it with my own eyes.	I'll check it out.	Fox seems to interrupt Pepper in the Japanese version

Corneria

Speaker	Japanese	Translated	English	Notes
Peppy	お前らは若いんだ無理はするな！	You're young, don't overdo it!	Don't be doing anything foolish!
Falco	こちらファルコ　少々ずれてるが問題はない	This is Falco, it's a little off, but there's no problem.	Falco here. I'm fine.	Foreshadows when his G-diffuser goes haywire. NoA removed it.

Others

• In the Japanese version, the character icons do not sync with their voices and simply animate all the way through. The sync was added for the English voice cast.
• In both the European and Australian Lylat Wars there is an option to choose between English and Lylat - the latter being akin to the gibberish of its predecessor.

US/JP	EU/AU	Language Option

• When a teammate is in trouble, an arrow pointing in their direction appears on-screen, labelled HELP!!; in European versions it is labelled S.O.S!!.

US/JP	EU/AU

• The Great Fox's texture with the "STARFOX" logo is different depending on the region.

Japan	US/Europe	China

• The red line Corneria boss in the Japanese version opens his hatches quicker.
• There are some extra enemies in some levels depending on the region:
  • In Meteo, the Japanese version has one less Killer Bee than the US one (where there is an extra Killer Bee if you defeat the first Killer Bee{s} quick enough).
  • In Aquas during Expert Mode, there are three enemies in the Japanese version that were removed in the US one.

Opening Logo

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

In the game's intro, the Nintendo 64 logo was changed to the iQue logo.

Title Screen

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

• The copyright info on the title screen was updated and iQue has an extra copyright year.

No Controller

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

The "No Controller" screen text was updated despite it being impossible to see since the iQue Player console is built in to the controller and is thus always plugged in.

Multiplayer

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

In the Multiplayer mode (VS.), the Nintendo 64 console was changed to iQue Player multitap.

Game Over

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

The "Game Over" font models were redesigned in Chinese.

Ending

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

• In the scene where the Star Fox team walks to General Pepper, the Corneria poster in the pre-rendered background was edited, but they have done it very lazily, most likely just placing an image over the area on account of Pepper's head being partially covered.

Others

• The teammates' shield gauge were vertically stretched.

Nintendo 64	iQue Player

• The on-screen map border color was changed from white to grey.
• The Arwing's texture with the "SF" symbol is different.

Oddities

Dead Ends

• While it seems endless, the Venom 1 tunnel does indeed end if you manage to survive for about eight minutes. It even gives you an extra life before you collide into the wall and die.
• Something similar happens after failing to redirect the train on MacBeth and therefore entering the boss fight. During the battle, distance markers will appear on the ground starting at 100 between the rails for the main line and the fuel bunker. If they reach 500, the player will have about 30 seconds remaining before the boss will crash into the player, instantly killing them. Generally, this will happen 4 minutes after the train conductor activates the flying boss.
