Boss Battle: At the end of each and every stage.

Lylat is saved, but Fox is the Sole Survivor of the Star Fox team.

Bittersweet Ending: You can complete the game with only Fox McCloud left alive in the squadron.

Big Bad: Andross is a completely insane Emperor Scientist who seeks to conquer the Lylat star system as vengeance for being exiled.

Background Boss: All of the bosses except the Atomic Bases, the Dancing Insector, Plasma Hydra, Monarch Dodora, the Spinning Core, and the Great Commander in its first fight and final forms do not attack with their bodies.

The new Arwing fighters could turn the tide of the war, but most of the Cornerian military - including pilots - has been wiped out, leaving the fate of the Lylat system in the hands of Star Fox: a team of former rebels and space pirates who happen to be the only persons left in Lylat who could possibly fly them. Declaring himself Emperor of the planet Venom, he has been waging an ongoing war to conquer the entire system.

Now, He's Back!, with a massive armada of immensely powerful battleships under his command. He was declared to be raving mad, and exiled to the edge of the known universe years ago. Andross, a prestigious and incredibly talented scientist from the planet Corneria was caught conducting illegal and highly dangerous experiments that threatened populated worlds. The story takes place in the fictional Lylat Star System, which is populated by sapient animals. Even so, Star Fox 2 was officially released as part of the SNES Classic Edition on September 29, 2017, along with this game having its first ever re-release. A sequel utilizing the revised Super FX chip, Star Fox 2, was developed for Super NES, but due to the looming release of the Nintendo 64 (which wouldn't come out for a year), it was unceremoniously canceled. Star Fox was the first game to include the Super FX chip, a coprocessor that provided (at the time) cutting edge 3D polygon graphics, years before the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 systems made this the norm in console video game design.
