Super Wings (Korean: 출동! 슈퍼윙스, romanized: Chuldong! Syupeo Wingseu, Chinese: 超级飞侠; pinyin: Chāojí fēi xiá) is an animated television series created by Gil Hoon Jung and produced by the company made by himself, FunnyFlux Entertainment, in South Korea, in association with Alpha Group Co., Ltd. from China with production support from the Educational Broadcasting System in South Korea and additional support from KOCCA and HIT Entertainment.

Overview

The series follows a basic format where Jett interacts with other Super Wings at World Airport before being called to a delivery, where Jimbo gives Jett some facts about the location and some of the local language. Using this knowledge, he interacts with the kid or kids ordering the packages until they reach a problem, and then he calls for help from one or more of the Super Wings. The additional help would aid in solving the problem before they leave with Jett.

Super Wings has 32 members: 7 originals, 4 from Season 2, 4 from Seasons 4 and 5, 4 from Seasons 6 and 7, 5 from Season 8, and 3 Legendary Super Wings. Twenty have been written off to have more space for new members.

The format remained relevant in Season 2, though the interaction segments were dropped. Jimbo also no longer works at World Airport during this season and is replaced by his niece Sky while he takes an around-the-world vacation (though he still makes cameos in the locations where Jett makes his deliveries). The assisting format was also altered, as typically more than one Super Wing ends up with Jett at the end of the episode.

Season 3 brings the interaction segment back and sees Jimbo return as a maintenance technician. The rest of the format remains in place from Season 2, though the assistance method changes once again. Jett now receives help from a specialized team of Super Wings, rather than from a random selection. The episode count also dropped from 52 to 40.

Major changes came in Season 4, with much of the show now taking place on World Aircraft, a giant plane functioning as a mobile airport (with Jimbo as captain and Sky as communications officer). The kids now actually call the Super Wings to make specialized products (manufactured by Storm, a new character and World Aircraft's chief engineer), to be shipped in metal box-like containers rather than in cardboard boxes in past seasons. Jett now has a regular travel buddy and Rescue Rider talking dragon for deliveries, and they are instead given upgrades by way of a Super Charge beam rather than receiving help, although other Super Wings and dragons show up randomly in some episodes. The number of episodes remained at 40.

Season 5 is like Season 4, as the Super Wings are still in the World Aircraft (with Jimbo, Sky, and Storm in the same positions). This season the Super Wings have new companions: Super Pets, small creatures resembling Super Wings that can transform into all kinds of things for missions. They also have to face Golden Boy (a golden plane that can transform and use its arms like rockets), who appears regularly in episodes to prevent the Super Wings from trying to carry out their missions. Unlike in Season 4, Jett no longer calls Super Charge mode but rather Super Helps, a team made up of a Super Wing and its corresponding Super Pet.

Season 6 brings a new format of missions for the Super Wings squad: their is Golden Guardians and the Super Pets are no longer used in missions (they are now in the control room with Sky and Storm, while Jimbo is absent) and the Super Charge mode is replaced by Super Ball and Super Dragons (a new type of item that contain elemental powers like wind, fire, polar, water, animal or lightning). Kids that Jett brings a pack can also join them, calling themselves the World Guardians Buddies. One of the major novelties of this season is the World Aircraft transforming into a giant robot called "World Robot", which is used when situations or problems may have become too complicated. Golden Boy is still around this season and has a new accomplice called Golden Wheels. Furthermore, they are not shy about making things worse on the World Guardians missions.

In Season 7 the largest change was that the Super Pets are on vacation around the world. When they arrive at a new place the Super Pets cause some trouble, and call the World Aircraft carrier to ask for a package from Jett. As in Season 4, Jett goes with a traveling companion. In case the Super wings and Super Pets are in trouble, they are Super Charged to solve the problems caused by Golden Boy, who now has a golden Super Pet.

His task is to deliver packages to kids around the world. Jett is the fastest aircraft in the world, full of energy and confidence, and is friendly with everyone at the international airport. He likes to fly around the world to help children deliver packages. Whenever difficulty arises, which is often because Jett is naïve or incompetent, he will call his best friends the "Super Wings" to help. Jett's original power was solely Jett Speed, though as the show progressed, he became able to adapt to any environment and also gained competency. In Season 5, Jett has a new Super Pet, Mini Jett/Jett Pet. At the end of the first two-part special of Season 6, he became a Legendary Super Wing and entered the Hall of Fame.
