This is the first SNES title using the Super FX chip; you are flying ace Fox McCloud, who with his trusted wingmen and his powerful Arwing starfighter, must rid the Lylat System of the evil that surrounds it. Wave after wave of enemies will fly towards you, and with the advice of your wingmen, you must guide your way through each level and take down as many as you can.

Trivia

Although the title change to "Star Wing" in other regions is often attributed to a conflict with an Atari 2600 game also named "Starfox," it is far more likely that, instead, it was the C64 (Commodore 64) game, "Starfox" which caused the issue. The both the SNES and Atari 2600 games were released in the USA with no reported issues.

Gamespot has a page confirming minimal details about the C64 title, but it is clearly confused with the SNES game.

As of April 2007, the title screen can be seen at the following URL.
