Background

The Arwing is the personal super-high performance combat spacecraft used by members of the Star Fox 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 an aileron or barrel roll, the Arwing can also generate an 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. Despite numerous revisions and redesigns over the course of the team's history, the many models of Arwings have maintained the balance of speed, power and performance that they are credited for. The Arwing starfighter is the primary battle vehicle of the Star Fox Team, and is almost the symbol of their team.

Standard Equipment

• Blaster: This Laser Cannon, equipped in the nose of the Arwing, fires a powerful laser beam.

• Twin Blaster: By collecting the Twin Blaster item, the arwing can fire two laser beam Blasters simultaneously, one from each wing. When one or both of its wings are destroyed, it will revert back to a single Blaster firing out of the ship's nose.

• Nove Bomb: This will drop a bomb that damages all the enemies that are within range of the explosion.

• Power Shield: This powerful defensive shield can be obtained by taking a Shield Item. While the Power Shield is active, the Arwing will become transparent (wire frame) and will not take damage from enemy attacks or collisions. The Power Shield will wear off after a certain number of objects have been collided with.
