Star Fox: The Awesome Black Hole

  • This video shows me playing Star Fox yet again on ZSNES, with the intention this time being to demonstrate how to get into the Black Hole and where it leads. For written instructions, to get into the Black Hole, from the level 1 Asteroid Belt, you need to shoot the spinning meteors as close as possible without crashing into the red one in the center (it may look like I hit one, but it was one of the grey ones that broke off when it was destroyed). After that, there should be a meteor with a face on it (like in the level 3 Asteroid Belt). Fly into the vortex that appears, and you go to the Black Hole.
    The area is a warp zone, so the video shows where all the warps go. First ring takes you to Sector Y, second ring goes to Sector Z, and the third ring dumps you at the level 1 Venom. If you take the second or thrid rings, you will change your course, and the game will continue on that course.
    You will notice the STATE 1 SAVED/LOADED messages at the bottom of the screen. There's a reason for this. I didn't feel like playing through the first two stages more than I had to, so I saved state at the right time and just played the Black Hole three times.

    Gotta love how the level is called "awesome black hole" when it´s actually stated to be a freaking graveyard and the place where Fox´s father vanished. I also like how General Pepper casually comments on it without being worried or anything.

    I personally think the cornerian ship that pops up here was intended to be Fox's father. The game manual hardly mentioned the guy, and didn't specify that he even flew an Arwing (they even claimed Fox's crew was the first to fly them). Since Cornerian ships showed up in so few places in the game, I think that ship was meant to stand out for that reason.
    'Course, a lot of plot points in Starfox 1 were retconned anyway. Nonetheless, I still love this game! Best soundtrack in the series imo!

      He was presumed dead, but he didn't actually die per say. He was just transported to another dimension and was rescued by a starship that toke on the form of a giant whale in Fox's dimension when it visited it via the Black Hole. If you read the 1993 Nintendo Power comics which are part of the SNES canon, you'll know about this.
      Also MrPiGuy, that's not an Arwing, that's an X-Fighter. (The name of the Cornerian starfighters in this continuity.)

      Patch93 im glad you told me that. i've always been a fan of star fox and the lore so it's good to know that. But i'd assume that James had an arwing because in star fox 64 when his ghost appears (after you kill andross on the hard path) his ghost pilots an arwing. and in star fox command when he appears he also has an arwing. Why is his ship an "X-Fighter" in the SNES game?

To take out the little confusion, the Original Star Wolf team were Wolf, Leon, Pigma, And Andrew.

    However, since you weigh more then light, it is possible for you to break the speed of light and thus cease to exist within our space/time universe... like Fox's father...

    I"m impressed the SNES could handle complete 3d stuff like this, I always thought the n64 was the 1st that could by Nintendo.

    How did I not know that you can warp straight to venom via a god damn black hole.

    @MasterOfClix IT ALL MAKES SENSES NOW! Have you played Starfox Command? *Spoiler Alert* On one of the endings, Fox and Falco decide to become F-Zero racers and retire from space flight. Maybe Fox will meet his dad again :')

    ...That's not an Arwing, that's a Cornerian Starfighter.
    But yeah James did pilot it, at least in the SNES canon anyways.
