Full Walkthrough — Complete Campaign Reference

This full walkthrough reference documents every campaign stage in the Star Fox Switch 2 remake, how branches connect, and what to prioritize on a first clear versus a true-ending run. Use it alongside the embedded longplay video for visual pacing, then drill individual missions through linked stage pages when you need detail.

Campaign Structure

Star Fox is a branching rail shooter. Mission 1 always starts on Corneria. From there, hidden objectives — not menu choices — send you through different worlds. The game tracks your hit count, wingmate survival, and special actions (warp rings, buoys, switches) to determine the next stage.

Three well-known paths summarize most playthroughs:

• Easy route: Corneria → Meteo → Fichina → Sector X → Titania → Bolse → Venom
• Medium route: Corneria → Meteo → Katina → Solar → Macbeth → Bolse → Venom
• Hard route: Corneria → Sector Y → Aquas → Zoness → Sector Z → Area 6 → Venom II

Twenty-five total paths exist when you count minor variants (Katina warp from Meteo, Macbeth train shortcut, Sector Z failure dropping to Bolse, etc.). The route map visualizes every node.

Walkthrough Tips by Priority

First clear: Follow the easy route. Ignore medals. Collect rings, rescue wingmates when convenient, and learn vehicle swaps on Fichina and Titania.

True ending: Study the true ending guide before starting. Hard route failures on Zoness or Sector Z send you to Macbeth or Bolse — resetting your ending.

Medal sweep: After mission select unlocks, farm stages using the all medals guide. Zoness and Area 6 demand the highest hit counts.

Boss preparation: Andross fights differ by ending. Read how to beat Andross before Venom or Venom II attempts.

Vehicles Summary

Vehicle	Stages	Notes
Arwing	Most missions	Barrel roll, loop, charge shot
