It’s up to you to decide which problems to tackle. On the main map, you’ll see missiles heading toward Corneria, and nearby planets that are now home to dangerous alien bases. But instead of going through a predetermined set of levels, Star Fox 2 gives you a choice.
The goal of the game is to both protect the planet Corneria from invading forces, and to defeat those would-be invaders.

With the looming presence of more powerful consoles like the first PlayStation, Nintendo feared that the game’s low-fi polygonal world would look dated in comparison. Originally planned as a sequel that would launch in 1996, building on the foundation of the original Star Fox, the game was ultimately canceled. But the most important part of the collection is Star Fox 2. Nintendo’s miniature SNES Classic is an excellent machine for 16-bit fans, with a built-in collection of some of the most revered games of all time, like Earthbound and Super Metroid. Of course, the other big difference between the two games is that Star Fox 2 was never officially released - until today. It was tense, daring, and unlike any other game. Star Fox 2 combined cutting-edge graphics with a unique, real-time structure that had you fighting off alien forces while simultaneously defending your home planet. A sci-fi shooter starring a cast of anthropomorphic animals, the game managed to squeeze actual 3D graphics - chunky polygons and all - onto the Super Nintendo’s comparatively underpowered 16-bit hardware. The original Star Fox was a technological triumph.
