When the original Star Fox team led by Fox s father James McCloud went to investigate on Planet Venom where they were attacked by Andross  army and treacherous teammate named Pigma Dengar betrayed the team. Peppy Hare was the sole survivor of that battle. Now Fox and his teammates Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad must help the Cornerian army defeat Andross. Not only do they have to fight Andross and his flying monkeys, they also get into dogfight with their rivals, the Star Wolf team [who was hired by Andross to destroy Star Fox].
