SuperFX is a dedicated coprocessor chip developed by Nintendo for the SNES, designed by Argonaut Software, primarily used to enable 3D polygon rendering.
Star Fox is the first commercial game to use the SuperFX chip, with its frame rate limited by the chip's operating frequency of approximately 10.7 MHz, typically maintaining 10–20 fps.
Overclocking the SuperFX chip disrupts the game's original timing design, potentially causing audio-visual desynchronization or collision detection anomalies.
