History.dat entry:
Sonic Wings 3 (c) 1995 Video System.
The third game in this excellent series adheres to the solid shoot-em-up template set down by its predecessors. The player takes on the role of a Jet Fighter aircraft pilot whose mission is to combat world terrorism. The object of the game is to fly from country to country and destroy all opposition around the world, before flying into outer space to combat the menace responsible for the terrorism. Each pilot has his own storyline that ties in with the game.
One enemy shot destroys the player's plane and releases a special power-up that the plane may have been carrying. If the player's final ship is destroyed, all power-ups and extra bombs are released and can be collected if the player chooses the 'continue' option, or if a second player is still active. However, on the final mission in Outer Space, the player is forced to start again at the beginning of the space mission, unless 2 players are active.
Sonic Wings now features an array of 10 selectable pilots :
American Vought F4U Corsair piloted by Robo-Keaton.
American Northrop P-61 Black Widow piloted by the Blazers.
Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen piloted by Hien.
Japanese Aichi M6A1 Seiran piloted by Mao Mao.

- TRIVIA -
Sonic Wings 3 was released in October 1995 in Japan.
This game is known outside Japan as "Aero Fighters 3".
This represent the latest game in the Sonic Wings series for the Neo-Geo MVS.
Malcolm from 1993's "Ta-o Taido" makes an appearance as a pilot. His plane has a special charged shot ability that is unique to him and Spanky (by holding Fire button).
The strange ship that appears at the end of each level and warps away after the boss is defeated first appeared in "Turbo Force" as a regular enemy during Stage 2.
There are four random last bosses in the game, two for the Sea stage and two for the Space stage. In the Sea level, the most common one is Bagarius, a large alien submarine. The rarer one is a Giant Squid, you can't attack it and it doesn't attack you. In the Space level, the most common one is Gurabura, a UFO. And the rarer one is Soh Takeko, a mahjong piece. You can get four bad endings if you let them escape.
There are a total of 23 endings in the game. Twelve are for the individual character endings, six are for the team endings, four are for the bad endings and one when you beat the 2nd loop.
The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'HEY'.
