Like Star Fox 64, a single run is short: one branching route from Corneria to Venom takes roughly 2-3 hours. Game8 estimates about 7 hours to unlock and clear all levels across the different routes, and reviewers note that chasing the true ending by hunting secret paths roughly quadruples a single ~2-hour playthrough. A full completionist run, earning every medal and clearing bonus objectives on both Normal and Expert, runs around 25 hours; there are 16 stages, only about seven of which appear in any one playthrough, with 25 unique route combinations (Game8 and TheGamer).
