Star Fox Walkthrough

Last updated: June 2026

Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2 features one of gaming's most celebrated branching campaign structures. Every playthrough visits seven stages from a pool of sixteen, and your in-mission actions — not menu choices — determine which planets you visit next. This walkthrough hub covers all three recommended route tiers and links to detailed mission guides.

Route Guides

Choose a route based on your experience level and goals. First-time pilots should start with the easy route walkthrough, which avoids stealth and missile-defense requirements. Players seeking variety without maximum difficulty should read the medium route guide. Veterans chasing the true ending on Venom II need the hard route walkthrough, which demands precise execution on Corneria, Sector Y, Zoness, and Sector Z.

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

All Missions

Each mission page includes routing triggers, boss strategies, medal thresholds, and wingmate tips. Use the route map to see how stages connect, or try the route planner tool to plan your path before launching.
