A most interesting look into the early development of a classic game. Star Glider is a prototype of Star Fox that was found in the July 24, 2020 Nintendo leak. The game is in a rough, early state. The Star Fox team is absent, and the level map design is quite different. The planets have no names. Only a few stages work, and only 3 levels are mapped out. The collision detection is much less forgiving than the final game, requiring precise aiming. There is a bit of input lag during the Venom boss fight.
The two bosses both make an appearance in the final game, albeit much easier.
