Venom Space Fighters are purple, spiny seashell-shaped starfighters that tend to fly in lined formations. They have only been sighted in deep space areas.
Mayday[]
- “A squadron of Venom Fighters is on Peppy's tail when he past you. If you lock on your lasers, you'll probably miss one. Keep shooting until they're all finished.”
- —Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide, pg 37
Formation frying[]
- “When you first reach the first Lock-on site shown, lock on the middle fighter in any formation to fry as many of the surrounding ships as possible with one shot. In some cases, you'll find items in the debris.”
