Cornera’s alternative exit is the first possible branching path in Star Fox.
As well as paving the way to a secret boss, it allows you to access Sector Y, meaning every Star Fox route is available to you.
This page explains how to access Corneria’s alternative exit in Star Fox on Switch 2, including where exactly it begins and the steps you need to take.
How To Access Corneria’s Alternative Exit In Star Fox

- Save Falco when under attack
- Fly through all seven stone arches
- Follow Falco through the waterfall
- Defeat the Attack Carrier boss
Let’s go through these step-by-step. First, reach the checkpoint in Corneria, which comes towards the end of the Corneria City section.
Immediately afterward, Falco will fly across the screen with a G-Diffuser problem, and have multiple enemies following him. Help out quickly. If you’re struggling, firing a bomb at the pursuing group should take them out in one go.
Falco will (begrudgingly) thank you, letting you know you’ve successfully completed the first requirement.
Shortly afterwards, you’ll leave the expanse of urban debris and fly over water again, with various stone arches dotted to the left and right.
Fly through each stone arch; you might have to do a couple of sharp turns along the way, but provided you bank towards the one that follows, you should be fine. If successful, Falco will complement your flying.
Soon after that, Falco will ask you to follow him through a waterfall on the right. You will automatically follow suit.
From here, you’re set to get the alternative exit. All that’s left is to complete this short section, then defeat the Attack Carrier boss, which requires you to aim at the exposed parts of the ship, before firing at the main body until it’s destroyed.
With that done, you then have access to the first alternative route to Sector Y, allowing you to traverse the Hard route in full towards Venom 2 and the True Ending if you prefer. Good luck!
