Super FX has been used in other Super NES games, some with increased processing speed. The Super FX Chip is a math co-processor built into the cartridge to help the Super NES render graphics. The first game in the series, developed by Nintendo EAD and programmed by Argonaut Software, uses the Super FX Chip to create the first hardware-accelerated 3D gaming experience on a home console. The original Star Fox (1993) is a forward-scrolling 3D rail shooter, but later games add more directional freedom. Gameplay involves many adventures around the Lylat planetary system in the futuristic Arwing fighter aircraft, in other vehicles, and on foot.
The games follow the Star Fox combat team of anthropomorphic animals, led by chief protagonist Fox McCloud. Star Fox is an arcade style rail shooter and third person action-adventure video game series created by Shigeru Miyamoto, produced and published by Nintendo.
