Star Fox 2 takes place in the Lylat system, the home system of the series' protagonists. During the course of the game, the Star Fox team gradually penetrates the defense of Andross's forces and reaches his floating base, Astropolis.
Star Fox 2 features six playable characters, the highest number of any game in the series (until Star Fox Command). Primary characters include Fox McCloud, a fox who leads the Star Fox team, Falco Lombardi, the cocky expert pilot with a sometimes contentious relationship with Fox, Peppy Hare, mentor to Fox and the wisest member of the team, Slippy Toad, the team technician and childhood friend of Fox, Fay, a white poodle with a pink hair bow who is a new member of the team; and Miyu, a tomboyish lynx who is also a new addition to the team.
