Returning from the original Star Fox are wingmen that fly with the player in their own Arwings. These include silver and gold rings that refill the vehicle's shields, weapon upgrades, wing repairs, extra lives, and Nova bombs. Throughout the game, the player can fly or drive through power-ups to collect them. The Arwing can also perform one new maneuver in All-Range Mode: a U-Turn to change direction. In this variant, the player can move freely in a three-dimensional space within the confines of a large arena. In addition to Corridor Mode, some stages of the game, including multiplayer and most boss fights, take place in "All-Range Mode". The Arwing and Landmaster can charge up their laser cannons to unleash a powerful lock-on laser.

The Arwing is also capable of deflecting enemy fire while performing a spinning maneuver called a "barrel roll" (actually an aileron roll in real-life aviation terms). In Corridor Mode, the player's vehicle can be maneuvered around the screen to dodge obstacles and can also perform a somersault to get behind enemies or dodge projectiles. Most of the game takes place in "Corridor Mode", which forces Fox's vehicle down an on-rails path straight forward through the environment. Star Fox 64 is a 3D rail shooter game in which the player controls one of the vehicles piloted by Fox McCloud, usually an Arwing. This game has been released on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service on October 25, 2021, its launch date. A stereoscopic 3D remake for the Nintendo 3DS, Star Fox 64 3D, was released in 2011, and a reimagining for the Wii U, Star Fox Zero, was released in 2016.

Like the SNES Star Fox game before it, Star Fox 64 has been deemed one of the greatest video games of all time. The game received critical acclaim for its precise controls, voice acting, multiplayer modes, and replayability through the use of branching gameplay paths.
