Star Luster features free-roaming open space exploration, a cockpit view where the cockpit controls could be seen (and where the cockpit bobs up and down), bases where the player can be refueled, a map and radar displaying the locations of enemies and bases, a warp ability that allows the player to be warped to anywhere on the map, and a date system keeping track of the current date which can change when warping long distances. The game also introduced the concept of a regenerating shield mechanic.

Emulation Information

Famicom Microphone Support

As controllers supported by the official Japanese Wii Virtual Console releases did not have microphones, the original Famicom version's support for blowing into Player 2's microphone lacks the hardware to do so. Instead, the microphone functionality is mapped on Classic Controller and GameCube Controller to holding down L while rotating the right control stick. The Wii Remote sideways has no such mapping.
