Though I dunno if it’s either the SNES or the N64 version that is more famous. The only one I know is the SNES version, so…
Star Fox was one of the first 3D polygon game (with the Super FX chip) featuring the spacecrafts you see that had anthropomorphic animal pilots.
I played a lot, but never got very far… not only the game was hard, I pretty much sucked (and still suck) at racing/obstacle course games.
I won’t get in details with character names and stuff, you can get that at Wikipedia… but Fox, the main character is always showing up here and there via memes, parodies and tribute.
Oh yeah, prolly because I couldn’t get past the very first few levels, I got the Corneria, the first stage, music stuck in my head.
In a good way though… nostalgic feeling.
