One observation about StarFox shared among many die-hard fans was that it was seemingly impossible to get a perfect score on Fortuna, regardless of strategy. Of course no one has conclusively proved this, but if true it's more proof that scores are not everything!
| ORIGINAL U.S. CART, version 1.0 (most common) |
 |
| Many of us felt it had to be a bug in the code. However, we've found a version which has no trouble giving perfect scores on Fortuna. |
| Version 1.1 Cartridge |
 |
| As you can see, physically this cartridge uses the newer-style SNES shape, unlike the original. When you turn on the game you can also notice a distinct color change in the title screen. I'm guessing this version had some sort of bug fix for Fortuna as well. |
