Fox's Arwing in a cutscene from The Subspace Emissary.
The Arwing (アーウィン Āwin) is the brand of one-man spaceship used by the eponymous mercenary team in the Star Fox series, and is featured in every Star Fox game. As such it has made appearances in all of the Smash Bros. games.
In Super Smash Bros.
Arwings make several appearances in this game. Several of the ships can be briefly seen in the game's opening movie. Fox's on-screen appearance is of him jumping out of an Arwing.
Arwings also appear as stage elements/obstacles in the Sector Z stage. They appear occasionally to fly around and shoot their laser beams. Any character that makes contact with the lasers take a decent amount of damage. The Arwings do not always shoot, but sometimes just fly over the stage instead. Characters can jump on the Arwing while it is flying over the Great Fox. If the Arwing flies off the screen, then that character that was on the Arwing will receive a Star KO. The Arwings do not specifically target anyone when they fire their lasers, instead going by their own patterns.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Arwings return with slightly more representation. In addition to being again sighted in the game's opening FMV, Arwings also appear in the Corneria and Venom stages, serving the same general functionality as they did in the previous game: being a soft platform, and shooting at the stage and characters.
As a trophy
The Arwing features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly in the Trophy Lottery. It reads as follows:
- The Arwing is the symbol of Star Fox. Like an F-Zero racer, it's equipped with an opposing-gravity device. It can barrel roll and flip with ease thanks to its quick acceleration and flexible control. In battle, the ship uses retractable wings for precise flying. Every Arwing has smart bombs as its sub-weapons. (Star Fox 09/93)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Arwings return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, based on the design of Arwings in Star Fox 64. They are once again the on-screen appearance for Fox, and now also for Falco.
Just like in the last two Super Smash Bros. games, Arwings appear as stage elements and hazards, in both the game's Star Fox stages: They are new in the Lylat Cruise, but return in the returning Melee stage Corneria.
As a trophy
The Arwing is a random, collectible trophy:
A fighter ship that comprises the main combat unit of Team Star Fox. Boasting antigravity systems known as G-Diffusers, Arwings can perform barrel rolls, quick bursts of speed, and loops. They're also equipped with variable wings that can be switched in and out of combat mode. Their main armaments are their laser cannons, and their secondary weapons are smart bombs.
- Star Fox (Super Nintendo)
- Star Fox 64 (Nintendo 64)
In the Subspace Emissary
Fox and Falco are both seen piloting Arwings at various points, Fox piloting two and Falco one.
- Fox's original Arwing was knocked out of the air by the Halberd's Combo Cannon. After it crashed, Rayquaza emerged from the lake and attacked it, destroying it. Fox ejected to help Diddy Kong fight Rayquaza.
- Fox's second Arwing was also used to engage the Battleship Halberd along with Falco. However, after destroying the Combo Cannon, Peach was blown back. Assuming that Fox was trying to attack Peach, Sheik leapt from the bridge of the Halberd and punched the cockpit. This forced Fox to eject and abandon his Arwing, which presumably crashed.
- Falco's Arwing arrived in time to save Fox from Bowser. Ejecting, Falco kicked the Dark Cannon up and shot it to pieces. Later, Falco piloted the same Arwing on an attack on the Halberd. Falco also used his Arwing to help Diddy Kong reach the skiff where Donkey Kong was being held. He dropped him off and returned to fight the Halberd. After seeing Duon created from Shadow Bugs, Falco ejected and skydived to the others' aid. Finally, Falco's Arwing engaged the Subspace Gunship along with Samus', Olimar's and Captain Falcon's ships. It was one of the first to go into Subspace along with Captain Falcon. What happened to it after that is unknown.
In Super Smash Bros. 4

Arwings return in these games once again. Fox appears piloting one in the games' first trailer from E3 2013, and the ship serves once again as his on-screen appearance.
