Editing Star Fox Command (section)

==Gameplay==
''Star Fox Command'' has two types of play within the single player game; a strategic map mode, and a battle mode. The [[overworld]]-like map mode is where the player takes command of several ships. This mode is used to get ships into the battle mode and is essentially a simple [[turn-based strategy]] game. Up to four ships can be maneuvered at a time. The object of this mode is to prevent enemy ships from reaching the ''Great Fox''. This mode also allows players to fire missiles from the ''Great Fox'' that they have picked up from exploring in this mode, or from meeting certain conditions in the battle mode (usually destroying all enemies). When a craft that is controlled by the player encounters an enemy group or missile in this mode, the gameplay switches to the battle mode.

Battle mode is similar to the "all-range mode" employed in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' for some bosses and levels. Like the cancelled ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' the game is completely all-range, as opposed to the "[[Shoot 'em up#Tube and rail shooters|on-rails]]" levels featured in most other ''Star Fox'' games (however, the game will sometimes force the player to engage in classic "chase" missions in order to complete an objective). The usual objectives are to destroy a base ship, destroy all enemies, or collect a number of cores to complete the battle mode. Once the battle mode is completed, the game returns to the map mode. As players progress through the game, they will be able to choose to go different routes upon completing certain levels. Each route has its own character dialogue to accompany it, and players will be able to visit differing planets depending on what routes they choose. The game features 9 different endings altogether, and gamers can access all of them by playing the game multiple times, selecting different routes each time. Instead of merely giving different perspectives on what happens to the Star Fox team, each ending is unique &mdash; the characters go in various directions depending on what ending is watched. ''Star Fox Command'' does not feature traditional voice acting. Instead it outputs gibberish akin to the "voices" in ''Star Fox'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], or the "Lylat speech" present in ''[[Star Fox 64|Lylat Wars]]'' (but not ''Star Fox 64''). Players can also record their own voices into the game’s "gibberish generator" using the built-in DS microphone where it is converted into the garbled speech of the various characters.
