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.

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.

;VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
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.
"''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.''"
