The mad ape sent out wave after wave of armies from his stronghold on the planet Venom, and used unique forms of radiation to create horrible monsters and terrible soldiers. His ambition swept this army across the galaxy to the planet Corneria. It was there, however, that a quartet of mercenaries known as Star Fox put an end to the threat, and the leader of the team, Fox McCloud, defeated Andross in single combat. In the years that followed, Venom was designated a forbidden planet and placed under the rigorous watch of Cornerian forces. All was going well until a mysterious army suddenly sprung forth from the toxic seas of the planet. Controlled by a mysterious leader called the Anglar Emperor, this new threat cuts through the Lylat system like a scythe through ripe wheat. The unexpected attack once again places the peoples, cities, and culture of the Lylat system in dire peril. But much to the shock and dismay of the Lylat people, the members of Star Fox have gone their separate ways...leaving Fox McCloud as the lone obstacle in the Anglar army's path. Despite the odds, Fox heroically launches himself into the fray. But can he survive without the aid of his former teammates? 06 07 Controls You will control Star Fox Command by using both the Touch Screen and buttons.

Combat Phase ­ Firing Missiles from the Great Fox To fire a missile, touch the Great Fox and then drag the missile onto an enemy.

Additionally, you can display the pause menu (p. 13) by pressing the START Button. 24 25 Movement Phase During this phase, all of your fighters move simultaneously along their respective flight paths. Enemies and missiles also move during this phase. Any items contacted during the movement phase will become yours. You can access the pause menu during the movement phase by pressing START. Combat Phase If combat is initiated during the movement phase, the top and Touch Screens will switch. The Touch Screen will then display battle panels for all of the upcoming battles.

Engaging in Combat The four types of enemies you can encounter are listed below. If you meet certain conditions while moving, you will engage these enemies in battle.

Completing Battle Once the fighting is over, the combat results screen will display. You'll receive a time bonus based on the number of enemies you shot down and then return to the battle panel screen. (p. 27) The remaining time is the time left for all combat during the entire mission. Combat Rules Before combat begins, the target enemy will be displayed. Pilot your fighter across the screen and destroy the target. Once you collect the set number of enemy cores (p. 21), the battle will be finished. If you complete a battle with a perfect score, the Great Fox will receive a missile. (p. 25) Penalties If a fighter gets shot down or runs out of time, that pilot will lose the battle in which he or she is engaged, and the player's ship stock will be reduced by one ship. Accordingly the remaining movement of the fighter that was defeated in battle will be cancelled, and the enemy that defeated the fighter will continue along its original flight path. If your fighter stock is zero and a character falls, you will no longer be able to use that character. If you run out of characters, the mission will end in failure. Pursuit Combat and Guide Beacons The act of chasing down enemy motherships and missiles is know as pursuit combat. Follow the guide beacons to catch the target, then follow the on-screen instructions to destroy it. If you miss the guide beacons, the enemy will escape or you will be shot down!
