Star Fox Competition - Weekend Edition Description: The Star Fox Weekend competition was held at 1,500 - 2,000 locations in the United States during the weekend of April 30 - May 2, 1993. The purpose of the competition was to promote the release of Star Fox, which at the time was the largest single release in video game history to that point (with some 1.7 million carts available worldwide at launch). The hype was likely deemed necessary by Nintendo to recoup the investment made in the development of the Super FX chip, which had been in development since before the SNES was even released.

The game features a modified action sequence taken from the original Star Fox, plus an exclusive bonus stage. Every time you play, your total score is displayed at the end of your mission. The design team at Nintendo Co., Ltd. that assembled the timed game sequence states that the highest score possible is approximately 172,000.
