[[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. | |||

Following the Aparoid invasion, the Star Fox Team was outfitted with new ships. All pilots picked one for themselves. Fox acquired the Arwing II, a ship resembling the Arwing in Lylat Wars. Slippy had the [[Bullfrog]], a bigger ship. It has a thick nose with small wings. It is slow and difficult to maneuver, but makes up for this with its ability to use plasma cannons, the strongest primary weapon available. Unfortunately, the Bullfrog's cannons lack the ability to charge and lock on to enemies. Falco had the [[Sky Claw]]. This ship resembled the Arwing II, but with wings directed forward, more round-shaped and with claws on the end. It has a pointed nose. Though it is equipped with the simple single laser, it is the fastest and most maneuverable ship in existence and has the ability to perform multiple somersaults and Immelmann turns. It also has the ability to lock on multiple enemies when charging its laser. Krystal, because of her leaving from the Star Fox Team, flew a Cornerian Starfighter, but in some of the possible pathways of the game, she is seen to own a new ship - the [[Cloud Runner]]. There, the design of the Arwing almost completely disappeared to resemble the [[CloudRunner]] tribe from Star Fox Adventures. Also, both [[Peppy Hare]] and [[James McCloud]], playable in two of the game's storylines, fly the original Arwing, which resembles the ones seen in the during the fight against the Aparoids. | Following the Aparoid invasion, the Star Fox Team was outfitted with new ships.

{{Main|Arwing II}} | |||
After the battle against the Aparoids, Fox upgraded his Arwing to an improved version known as the Arwing II. It is reminiscent of the original, but with enhanced maneuvering abilities and improved fire power. Unlike earlier models, it can carry up to two Smart Bombs. | |||
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | |||
====''Super Smash Bros.''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' Fox used the Arwing to enter the stage. Arwings are also seen blasting at the fighters in the [[Sector Z]] stage. They can be used as temporary platforms. | |||
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Arwing appeared as a trophy along with the [[Wolfen]]. They and the Wolfen are also seen blasting at the fighters in the [[Corneria]] and Venom Stages. They too can be ridden as platforms. | |||
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', it appeared as a trophy and was used for Fox's entrance. They also appear in the background of [[Lylat Cruise]] in the asteroid belt and the Star Fox Vs. Star Wolf part of the stage. In the Subspace Emissary, Fox used it to attack the Battleship Halberd twice, but it was destroyed in both tries. The first time by a claw on the [[wikirby:Halberd|Halberd]], the second time by [[zeldawiki:Sheik|Sheik]]. Falco also used it to arrive in the nick of time to save Fox and [[mariowiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] from [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] and his Dark Cannon. Fox later has his Arwing repaired and attacks the Subspace Gunship along with other ships from different Nintendo series. | |||
===Other games=== | |||
The Arwing can be found as an enemy in [[zeldawiki:Kokiri Forest|Kokiri Forest]] of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' by using an Action Replay or Gameshark device. The Arwing was possibly used as a placeholder to test airborne enemies such as [[zeldawiki:Keese|Keese]]. | |||
The Arwing also makes an appearance in the GameCube version of ''Animal Crossing'' as a raffle prize. It appears again in Animal Crossing: Wild World and City Folk as a spotlight item. In ''Wild World'' and ''City Folk'', if the player stands next to the Arwing and presses A, the ''Star Fox'' theme will play. | |||
In the 2006 version of ''Nintendo Monopoly'', an Arwing appears as a station in place of Short Line Railroad. In the 2010 reissue, it was replaced by [[zeldawiki:Epona|Epona]] from the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. | |||

;VEHICLE DESCRIPTION | |||
"''The Arwing starfighter is the primary battle vehicle of the Star Fox Team, and is the almost the symbol of their team. Developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., the Arwing is equipped with the revolutionary G-Diffuser system, an anti-gravity device which allows the pilot to accelerate or decelerate instantaneously and perform a wide variety of high performance combat maneuvers. By executing a barrel roll, the Arwing can also generate a electromagnetic shield which will deflect most optically based weapons, such as laser beams. The Arwings used by the Star Fox Team are much different from any production versions as they have been extensively modified with improved armor and advanced weapon systems, such as Hyper Laser Homing Bolts and Smart Bombs.''" | |||
