=== ''Star Fox Adventures'' ===
Due to the lack of funds in the possession of the Star Fox team during the [[General Scales|General Scales's]] attack on [[Sauria]], the Arwings owned by the Star Fox team were in serious disrepair. Even an ace pilot would have trouble keeping the ship together, due to the modifications made by [[Slippy Toad]]; these included the stripping of the targeting computers in exchange for hard currency, as well as the bomb magazines restricted to only one at a time, and the charge ablility was taken away. Although the navigational computer was still in working order, the Arwing's engines suffered somewhat, making the ship harder to control, but that could be attributed to the fact that the nose had been elongated to allow for cargo space. The installation of landing gear was another asset, due to the fact that Arwings would have had to work independently from ''Great Fox'' for elongated periods of time. To provide remote assistance [[ROB 64]] would transmit [[Fuel Cell]]s to power the Arwing, but these were commonly scattered about, leaving the team to search for them in unorthodox places. It was this stripped down, aging ship that was responsible for the final defeat of Andross. Even though the Arwing is used in ''Star Fox Adventures'', it is less used than in any other game.g
[[File:Arwing through Gold Ring SFA.jpg|thumb|The Arwing flying down to CloudRunner Fortress]]
In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', Fox travels around in his Arwing less often than in other ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' titles. By default, Fox can only fly his Arwing down to [[ThornTail Hollow]] (via the "[[Sauria|Dinosaur Planet]]" option on the world map). Fox can later fly his Arwing to the four other [[SpellStone]] locations: [[DarkIce Mines]], [[CloudRunner Fortress]], [[Walled City]], and [[Dragon Rock]], as he meets the [[GateKeeper]]s for each location. Each SpellStone location also requires Fox to provide a given number of [[Fuel Cell]]s for him to reach the location.
 
When selecting an area, Fox must partake in an Arwing mission, where [[General Pepper]] instructs Fox to disable the [[Force Field]] by piloting his Arwing through a certain number of [[Gold Ring]]s. The player must control the Arwing in space, and has the ability to fire at mines and basic starfighter enemies. In later Arwing missions, Fox must also maneuver his Arwing through building ruins (similar to [[Sector X]] in ''Star Fox 64''). Fox's Arwing is unable to utilize many features that were available in previous installments, such as the [[Boost Gauge]], first-person view, and a charged laser shot. Its wings also do not get damaged, therefore eliminating the purpose of [[Wing Repair]]. He can still fly through [[Silver Ring]]s, collect [[Laser Upgrade]]s, and carry up to three [[Smart Bomb]]s. If Fox reaches the end and does not fly through the required number of Gold Rings, he must restart the Arwing mission.
 
After disabling the Force Field, Fox docks his Arwing on the planet's surface. He has the option of re-entering it whenever he desires to. When Fox travels with [[Prince Tricky]], he climbs into a hatch below the Arwing and Fox stays in the cockpit. This does not happen after Fox obtains the fifth [[Krazoa Spirit]] from [[Dragon Rock]], since it is when he and Tricky part ways.
 
Fox pilots the Arwing in the final battle against [[Andross]]. Fox uses it to shoot lasers at the vulnerabilities on [[Krazoa God]] head and Andross's hands. After shooting off both of Andross's hands a second time, Andross tries inhaling Fox, who is suddenly rescued by [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], who is also piloting his Arwing. Afterward, whenever Andross spits meteorites at Fox, Falco's Arwing swoops by and leaves behind a Smart Bomb for Fox to use against Andross. When Fox manages to defeat Andross, he and Falco retreat their Arwings back into the [[Great Fox]]. Fox's and Falco's Arwings are the only two Arwings that appear in the game.
