WIn is a spiritual life-form created by the Bydo Core that somewhat resembles an windmill-like disc, composed of an invulnerable shell and possessed of a prophetic name. It spins in 'figure 8' patterns and occasionally attacks invaders. Its true strength, though, lies in its invulnerability; Win is completely indestructible, even against direct Force contact and exposure to Wave Cannon fire. Pilots must learn to avoid this creature.

Trivia

An interesting behavoir appears in R-Type Dimensions, using the Infinity mode. During the battle against the Bydo (Core), once it has released three Wins, making them four in total, the Wins will eventually stop flying their pattern and latch onto the pilot's ship, destroying it instantly. When the new ship spawns, the Wins will latch onto that one and destroy it as soon as the invincibility ends, a pattern that continues until the Bydo Core has been destroyed, note that once released all of the Wins, the Core will not open again, meaning that the only way to win the fight at this point is through a timeout.

Under the intended scenario for this fight, once the fight has stalled for long enough the Wins are supposed to attack directly and destroy the pilot, who then must restart from the last checkpoint and approach the Core again. However, since the battle against the Core doesn't "restart" upon pilot respawn during Infinite mode, the Wins persist forever, and as stated previously, the most the player can do at this point is wait until the fight ends by itself. This timeout is already built-it in the original release but is otherwise inaccessible without cheats.
