The planned second game in the series for the [[SNES]], [[Star Fox 2]], was scrapped due to the upcoming release of the Nintendo 64, but some of its features were used in Star Fox 64, such as all range mode and encounters with Star Wolf. It was the first game to introduce support for the Rumble Pak and was in fact advertised heavily alongside the new device.  The game received positive ratings from reviewers who praised its smooth animation, detailed visuals, and use of multiple gameplay paths.
