Special music

After completing the game and watch the credits roll by, you will the "THE END" screen. Wait about ten minutes. You will hear what sounds like a xylophone playing the first part of the theme heard when at the map screen, the end of a level, or the credits. This may or may not happen a second time within the same game.

Hints

Warp Zone details

The following information is about the warp zone that James McCloud (Fox's father) died investigating. Select the middle road to Venom. After reaching the asteroid field, three sets of five asteroids spinning in a line will appear. The middle asteroid is red one, which indicates that it is destructible. The camera angle should be inside for more precision. Get as close as possible to the first middle asteroid and at the last second, shoot it. Your ship might get hit by the remaining asteroid; make sure your ship has enough shields remaining. It might be a little longer (five to fifteen seconds) before your ship reaches the next asteroid. Repeat your last second shots for the next two asteroids. The third asteroid takes about one second to reach after the second one. Be prepared to destroy it at the last second. An asteroid with a weird gray smiley face with red eyes will appear. Destroy this asteroid, which may be difficult, to open a black hole. Do not fire at it; just fly through the black hole to enter. There are three spinning circles of small objects in the black hole spaced far apart. The third spinning circle leads to Venom. If you pass by it, your ship will just start at the beginning of the black hole level again, as if flying in a circle.

Choose track three, then go to the asteroid belt and keep shooting the second big asteroid until it is destroyed. A bird-like object will fly out. Do not shoot it. Ram into it to travel "out of this dimension". Shoot the paper-like objects. The boss does not have a life meter, just icons (until they display three 7s) Shoot "THE END" letters until they are in the right position. The letters will be orange when they are correct.

Secret area

Go to level 3 by pressing Select and get to the asteroid belt. Keep playing until you see a giant asteroid. Do not shoot it. Instead, wait until you see a second giant asteroid. Shoot the second one until it explodes, An egg should fall out, and a giant bird will appear. Do not shoot it. Try to fly into it. If you hit it correctly that level should end, and instead of following the path, you will go to what looks like a different galaxy, but is really the secret area.

Strange blue monsters

When you destroy certain enemies in space phases, a strange plain blue monster will appear and pass by the screen.
