The difference between starfox and the genres you mentioned is the p v p aspect. You're almost always going to replay a fighting game to play with someone else (either online or couch co op). Since starfox is defined by neither, you can't apply the same "replayable" quality that the other genres have.

You don't need a pvp dimension for a game to be replayable. Speedrunners play hours upon hours of single player games because they like the challenge of aiming for shorter and shorter times. A similar concept applies to gamers who play single-player games aiming for higher and higher scores.

Speed runners are not representative of the majority of gamers. The majority of fighting games are replayed (after the single player stuff is beat) as pvp (couch coop or online). Same for racing titles. You can't say that starfox has "replayability" when the majority of the people who own starfox play it only once.

Otherwise "replayability is an excuse that can be used for any game (say order 1886)
