The '''Arwing''' is a class of space fighter that is featured in the ''[[Portal: Star Fox|Star Fox]]'' series as the primary craft piloted by [[Fox McCloud]] and other playable fighters. These ships are known for their speed and maneuverability. Rather than being an individual ship or even a certain kind, the Arwing name represents a long line of models that over time have been improved with new features.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Arwings appear in Star Fox-related levels as laser-firing hazards. A trophy of the Arwing appears in both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''.
 
 
*Throughout the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, the Arwings appear in ''Star Fox''-related levels as occasional hazards that swoop through the area and fire lasers at characters. Fox and Falco also board their Arwings for their new Final Smashes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The Arwing has also been represented by a trophy in every game from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' through ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', by a sticker (using artwork from ''Star Fox 64'') in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' and by an Ace-rank Support [[Spirit]] (which grants immunity to gravity changes) in ''Ultimate''.
 
*In the ''[[Portal: F-Zero|F-Zero]]'' series, there is a F-Zero Machine known as ''Little Wyvern'' that has a strong resemblance to the Arwing. It is piloted by [[James McCloud (F-Zero)|James McCloud]], a character who acts as an homage to Fox's father.
 
*The Arwing has appeared as an item in ''[[Animal Crossing]]'', ''[[Animal Crossing: Wild World|Wild World]]'' and ''[[Animal Crossing: City Folk|City Folk]]''. In the latter games, it plays the ''Star Fox'' theme for the player.
 
*In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', the ''Star Fox Zero'' version of the Arwing appears as one of the [[Mystery Mushroom]] costumes that [[Mario]] can transform into. It is in its Walker form by default, but it shifts into Arwing form when running at high speeds, swimming, crouching or pressing up on the control pad. It could be unlocked as a random prize for completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or harder.
 
*In ''Starlink: Battle for Atlas'', Fox pilots the Arwing in his playable appearance, and he's joined by the rest of Star Fox in their Arwings.

*In ''[[Star Fox 2]]'', the initially unreleased game, Arwings came in three different models (later the two alternatives becoming the Landmaster and Blue Marine) that even allowed the transform into a mech-like walking robot.
 
*While it can only appear through hacking or using cheat devices, a small Arwing has been made to appear in the [[Kokiri Forest]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. It acts as an enemy and was apparently included as a placeholder to test gameplay for the aerial boss [[Volvagia]].

* The name is likely a reference to Star Wars fighters which have names such as "X-Wing" and "A-Wing", as Arwing sounds like "R-Wing".

*The original ''Star Fox'' instruction manual referred to the Arwing as a prototype model that had not yet been tested when Star Fox used them to battle Andross. This fact seems to have been retconned by ''Star Fox 64'', which shows Arwings as being in use during James McCloud's time.
