Star Fox 2/Difficulty

Difficulty Levels

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

• Andrew of Star Wolf will appear.
