Star Fox 64

This page details bugs of Star Fox 64.

Venom Cutscene Lock#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Technical details such as the various positions that cause the glitch, whether or not Fox can eventually enter given enough time, and whether or not the glitch exists on the 3DS version.

Very rarely, after defeating Team Star Wolf on Venom, Fox may fail to enter the tunnel during the cutscene leading to the Andross battle. Instead, he gets stuck in a seemingly endless turn loop effectively softlocking the game.

Sarumarine SoftLock#

Watch on YouTubeBefore the Sarumarine's combat, the Arwing positions itself at a specific angle in one of the upper corners of the screen, and when you switch the first person camera at the exact moment, it causes the Sarumarine to not attack you. This makes the combat eternal, since you need him to shoot the cannonballs at you so that you can get the Smart Bombs needed to defeat him, this forces you to restart the level. This glitch is fixed in Star Fox 64 3D, because the ability to change the camera to first person is lost.
