Circle-strafe all you want it'll keep up. There's a normal, area-specific enemy that can only be hurt on a spot on its back.Do enough damage so he gets annoyed and eats you, so you can attack it from inside.

Under the prospect of a hefty pay needed for the maintenance of their ship ( the effects of which are seen in Star Fox: Assault with the newer, sleek designs) offered by General Pepper, Fox accepts the mission to explore the planet and save it from destruction. There, they discover a world inhabited by sentient dinosaurs and other strange creatures, and learn that the planet is suffering under the tyrannical rule of the villainous General Scales. The Star Fox crew (this time consisting of Fox McCloud, Peppy Hare, Slippy Toad, and ROB the Robot) intercepts a distress call from the mysterious Dinosaur Planet (later renamed Sauria) and set out to investigate (in hopes of finally getting enough income to pay for the sorry state of the Great Fox thanks to Fox having declined working for the Cornerian Army eight years ago). Originally an unrelated Nintendo 64 title called Dinosaur Planet, the game contains very little of the shooting and spaceship-piloting that the series was known for, relegating these aspects to mini-games between large chunks of action-filled adventuring gameplay. Star Fox Adventures is a video game produced by Rare (the last on a Nintendo home console before leaving for Microsoft) for the Nintendo GameCube, and the oddball in the Star Fox series.
