How to earn medals in Sector Z on Star Fox

You need 100 hits to earn a medal in Sector Z. Destroying the Copperhead missiles earns 10 points each, so it's a total of 60 points. This means you only need to earn 40 hits from other sources.

You must get the last hit on the copperhead missile to earn points. This is one reason why you may not have enough hits in the end.

If you fail to destroy the missile, it will damage the Great Fox and end the mission.

You must also keep all teammates alive, and not let any Copperhead missiles hit the Great Fox.

There are two slightly different versions of Sector Z, depending on how you approach it:

Just Your Team (Sector X Warp Route)
Cat joins at the end (Jones root)

If you take the Warp Gate alternate route from Sector X, you will not receive additional help during the Sector Z mission. Having three missiles deployed at once makes the ending difficult. However, it also means that there is one less person who will accidentally score the last hit on the missile and take away your chance at a medal.

The usual route is by completing Zones. You will also need to protect Kat from enemy fighters during the Zones mission To show her in Sector Z; Otherwise, it works as a Sector X warp path.

Kat will join in after the last three missiles are deployed, and she helps shoot them down.
