You must select two characters. You will be using these characters for the entire game, so choose wisely! The characters come in pairs, with both characters using the Arwing. There is no difference between the two; this simply allows you to have two characters using the same Arwing type. Also note that your team-mate only serves as backup; he or she won't really assist you. Instead, they come into use when you press Select on the map (to switch who is the team leader), or when your main character dies. (Note that both characters have only one life, and if you lose them both, it's Game Over for good.) | You must select two characters.

Miyu and Fay are fine for Normal and Hard, because their low shields aren't a problem. On Expert mode, there's a dilemma: their higher speed is more valuable since time is of the essence, but at the same time, it's much easier for them to get shot down. If you choose one of them, it may be particularly wise to pair her with Peppy or Slippy. | Miyu and Fay are fine for Normal and Hard, because their low shields aren't a problem.

With each difficulty level, the enemies you encounter will be harder to defeat, especially the bosses. Andross in particular will have one more battle phase for each difficulty level. Also, each level is different on each difficulty setting. For example, you only fight King Dodora on Hard (but not on Expert). There may be other differences as well. | With each difficulty level, the enemies you encounter will be harder to defeat, especially the bosses.

From here, Andross' battle has two phases on Normal, three phases on Hard, and four phases on Expert. The first phase is a large mask; shoot out the eyes. The second phase (Hard and Expert mode) will have a single eye as its weak point. The third phase (Expert mode only) will have two large hands you have to destroy, similar to Andross in [[Star Fox 64]]. The final phase, no matter the difficulty setting, will be the Andross cube you saw earlier. Quickly destroy it, and you beat the game! | From here, Andross' battle has two phases on Normal, three phases on Hard, and four phases on Expert. The first phase is a large mask; shoot out the eyes.

Other than to destroy battleships and bases without dying, you also must keep Corneria from taking damage. Any damage inflicted is permanent, and you will lose the game if Corneria reaches 100% damage. Damage can be caused by enemy squadrons, IPBMs, battleships firing the Planet Cannon (you'll know it when this is about to happen), and the satellite system firing upon Corneria. The satellite system is normally your friend and it will take out enemies on the map, but if it gets infected with a virus, it will fire upon Corneria instead. You can rectify this situation by going to the satellite and removing the viruses. | Other than to destroy battleships and bases without dying, you also must keep Corneria from taking damage.

When you start liberating planets, take Meteor first. It's in the center of the map, which is a great location for your mothership since it will never be too distant. The order of the other planets is not too important, but it may be wise to take out bases nearer Corneria first, since it will be easier to intercept IPBMs launched from distant bases. | When you start liberating planets, take Meteor first.
