Star Fox Command Endings
In Star Fox Command, there are multiple paths that branch into nine different endings. During the first playthrough, all paths are locked except for the one leading to Ending 3. Completing that path unlocks the "key of destiny", which can be used without to unlock the alternate paths on future playthroughs.
Among these endings, there are none that are known as the 'true' ending, and the developers have not supported any particular ending being canon. There are also no Star Fox games set after Command, so any ending could be the canonical one in theory.
