Kando does it again!kaine232022-01-05Version 1.2

The wireframe hack for Star Fox is well done and kando continues to amaze the community with what he can do with Star Fox! All models from the Arwings, enemies, landscapes and bosses are reduced to their base wireframes, making things a bit more challenging during gameplay. The bosses look great in wireframes and playing this really reminded me of playing Star Wars Arcade as a kid! Couple this with kando's speed hacks and you got no slowdown and Star Fox on steroids!

Only negatives I think really think of is the wireframe models flashing a lot can be off-putting and distracting, especially to anyone susceptible to them. The wireframe bosses don't have the usual indicators of where to shoot them during battle, so you're kinda shooting blindly unless you know how the boss fights progress in vanilla.

Do I recommend this? Yes and kando's other hacks too!
