Top 10 Hardest Medals to Obtain in Star Fox 64

Here are the hardest levels in Star Fox 64 in which to earn a medal, which means not only reaching the required hit count but also keeping all of your teammates alive.

1. Sector Z

   By far the hardest level to get a medal on, and time is not on your side, as you need to destroy all six missiles as they come towards Great Fox. As you're trying to destroy each of them, your allies will help. However, if they end up destroying the missile before you, it won't count towards your score.

   I screwed up again. I meant to put Top 10 Hardest Medals to Obtain in Star Fox 64.

2. Area 6

   You'll need your bombs more than ever. You need 300 points to get the gold medal, and a lot of the enemies are real quick. It's going to take a lot of strategy to get 300 kills.

3. Katina

   Getting a medal here can be real frustrating, as there are enemies mixed with other allies, and too many times you'll just end up killing more of the allies than enemies. There's also the mothership boss to deal with.

4. Venom Easy Route

   Strangely, it's a lot easier to get the medal on the hard route, seeing as all you have to do is shoot down all 4 members of Star Wolf, as each of them is worth 50 points. But as Egnomac has pointed out, it's still difficult, as they are much harder to take down than in previous encounters, and if you don't beat them quickly, you'll get fewer points. Still, to this day, I have never been able to get 200 points while playing on Venom on the easy route.

   I personally have never been able to rack up 200 kills on the easy route.

   Oh, I earned the medal on this mission.

5. Aquas

   It's really dark and hard to see where you're going, and like the Landmaster, you can't charge your shots, but you can home in with a torpedo. Although most of the time, it's hard to home in on the target you want, and it takes a while before you can fire another torpedo.

6. Venom Hard Route

   Strangely, the hard route is much easier to get the medal on than the easy route, but it's still hard. Before you get to Andross, you battle Star Wolf, who take way more damage and move a little faster. You have to beat all four members as fast as possible, as they're each worth 50 points. Take too long to defeat them, and the points decrease.

   If you lose a wing prior to this and lose your level 3 lasers, then it's going to be near impossible to get the medal and will just make it take even longer to beat them.

7. Zoness

8. Sector Y

9. Titania

10. Corneria

    It's very tricky getting the medal on this level. You need to unlock the hidden path after saving Falco.
