Pepper Coin

Pepper Coins are scattered around various locations in Star Fox 2, their locations differing depending on the difficulty setting. Collecting a Pepper Coin replenishes all shields. If one collects them all within a single difficulty level, the Secret Base will be unlocked for that difficulty level, allowing access to the Homing Blaster upgrade; collecting them all across all three difficulty levels will replace the image of Andross on the title screen with an image of Fox.

Pepper Coins reappeared as are collectibles in Nintendo World's Star Fox Zero, enhanced remake of Star Fox for SNES. There are three in every stage like the Star Coins of the New Super Mario Bros. games and the Star Medals in Super Mario 3D Land. Collecting a Pepper Coin replenishes all shields. Their designs similar to Star Fox 2, but they have the face of General Pepper in his Zero look. If one collects them all every stage (expect the Black Hole), the Secret Base will be unlocked, allowing access to the Homing Blaster upgrade; collecting them all in Expert Mode will replace the image of Andross on the title screen with an image of Fox.
