Detail
This version of Star Fox was made for use in a one-time competition to promote Star Fox in the US and Europe. Prizes included trips, flight jackets, and smaller prizes such as T-Shirts. Competitions were held at retail outlets all over the US and Europe. When the competition was completed, an undisclosed number of the US cartridges (out of an estimated total of 2000) were sold in Nintendo Power’s catalog. A cartridge will occasionally show up on eBay, where they will normally sell for over $200.
