Sonic Wings Special (ソニックウイングス・スペシャル) is a vertical shoot-'em-up released for the Sega Saturn. It came in a double CD case with a mini audio CD, and was only released in Japan.

Story

In the near future, a secret organization is plotting against an otherwise peaceful world. Much of this organization's plans are still unclear. Several countries have launched investigations, but all they have discovered is that its purpose is to destroy the world order, that it possesses unknown chemical weapons, and that it calls itself Fata Morgana.

To fight against Fata Morgana, a supra-national organization called Project Blue has been established. It is a group of combat experts from all over the world, and is officially part of the U.N. Security Force's special forces units.

Project Blue operated behind the scenes at first, but the worldwide coup d'etat by Fata Morgana, in which the nerve centers of multiple countries' militaries were seized, forced Project Blue to step up its operations.

Nevertheless, the world fell into chaos, and Fata Morgana quickly expanded the areas under its control.

Recently, an intelligence agent has reported that Fata Morgana is close to completing a secret weapon that can kill or wound two-thirds of the world's population.

Project Blue's secret operations are no longer enough to contain Fata Morgana, so to build a stronger force, all the experts in the world have been called up to participate, in some cases nearly conscripted.

There's no time to lose. Captain Lord River-n-White's orders: "Use of all weapons is allowed. Launch a full-scale attack!" The enemy awaits you in various parts of the world.

Gameplay

Pilots

All characters start the game with their modern+era fighters. Completing the once with the character unlocks secret WW2 era fighters.

	Buster Keaton / Mecha Keaton
	A 26-year-old US Navy pilot who once served during the Operation Desert Storm. He has a friendly nature who gets along with everyone and happens to be a bit of a ladies man even though his "charms" never seem to work. He is also hot-blooded and has a strong sense of justice, never allowing villans to have their way. Mecha-Keaton is Keaton's alter ego, after being mortally wounded at the end of Sonic Fighters, Keaton goes through an operation to replace most of his body with cybernetics. His personality has not changed a bit, though. Faction: United States of America Aircraft: F-177 Sea Hawk, F4-U Corsair

	Volk
	A former member of Fata Morgana, this tough Russian defected to Project Blue after he was betrayed and almost killed by his former emplyoer.

Pooshika is the more hot-blooded of the two, while Chaika often tries to keep her impulsive twin sister in check. They often end up being paired with Volk, who doesn't really care about either of the girls. Pooshika has a love-and-hate type feeling for Volk, while Chaika thinks he is insane and keeps her distance from him. Faction: Russia Aircraft: IL-102, IL-2 Stormovik Trivia: Chaika is named after a Russian restaurant in Shinjuku.
	Kowful the Viking

Faction: United Nations Aircraft: YF-23 Black Widow, Hs129 Trivia: Whity's name was changed to Spanky in the English version of the games, as Whity can be used as racial slur.

Her vain and snobbish personality often causes problems for herself and her fellow pilots, however. Faction: France Aircraft: Rafale M, Dewoitine D.520 Trivia: Angela's design and attire seems to have based on Japanese dancing troupe Takarazuka Revue which consists of female performers dressed in male clothing. Fans often debated whether Angela is a man or woman, due to her name change in English versions of Aero Fighters 2 and her ending with Hien in the same game, in which she undresses and appears as a male. Developers states that her ending with Hien in the second game was a joke and she is and was always a woman.
	Cynthia and Ellen
	Cynthia is a young, spoiled but friendly British girl who joins Project Blue for fun after her millionaire father gave her a fighter jet as a birthday present. She always flies with her private tutor, Ellen who is an extremely capable woman who is talented in everything ranging from housework to flying fighter planes.

Its main weapon is the same one used by FS-X. Secondary weapon is a pair of remote controlled drones that will fire upwards if going down or downward if going up. Charge attack makes drones stay in front of the aircraft and releasing the fire button will make them stay in that location, firing independently. Super weapon releases a short range fire ball that will engulf the plane and damage enemies while giving brief invincibility.
	F-15J Eagle
	Japanese Air Self Defence Force Air Superiority Fighter, based on USAF F-15 and locally produced by Japan under license. Entered service in 1981. Pilot: Mao Mao Main Weapon: Concentrated (3 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Side Fire Lasers Charge Weapon: Spread Lasers Super Weapon: Time Stop (Max 5) A very fast plane that is sometimes hard to control. Secondary weapons are thin laser fired from the sides of the plane which gives a larger fire range. Charge weapon fires a bunch of short laser beams in a rather inaccurate pattern.

Holding down the fire button will lock the gun in place allowing the players to strafe the screen like other fighters. Secondary weapon fires a pair of inaccurate but powerful homing missiles. Super Weapon is a bit strange: Normally, it calls down three Tu-160 bombers and saturate the screen with bombs. Occasionally however, it calls down four Tu-95 Bear bombers which cause more damage. It is unknown why this happens.
	MiG-3
	Soviet Air Force/Air Defence Force/Navy fighter aircraft. Entered service in 1941. Pilot: Volk the Undead.

Pilot: Chaika & Pooshika Main Weapon: V-Spread (3 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Unguided Heavy Rockets Charge Weapon: None Super Weapon: Matryoshka Doll Rampage (5 Max) Quite possibly weirdest plane in the game. Main weapon fires in a V-shaped pattern that makes it hard to aim straight ahead. Secondary weapon fires a pair of large and powerful rockets that look like domes and later spires of St. Basil Cathedral. Special weapon is equally hilarious: A giant Matryoshka doll appears and yells a bunch of Russian letters around the screen, damaging everything they touch. Sometimes instead of one large doll, a large and a bunch of smaller ones appear and randomly hit targets across the screen.
	AJ-37 Viggen
	Swedish Air Force Fighter-Bomber. Entered service in 1971. Pilot: Kowful the Viking Main Weapon: Concentrated (2 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: V-Shaped Rocket Barrage Charge Weapon: Large Rocket Super Weapon: Homing Missile Barrage (6 max) A fighter plane with powerful main and secondary weapons but weak charge attack and super weapon. Main weapon is one of the strongest in the game. Secondary weapon fires small rockets for additional coverage.

	F-104 Starfighter

A-10 Main Weapon: Concentrated (3 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Guided Floating Mines Charge Weapon: Stationary Mines Super Weapon: Cluster Mine (4 max) Another unique aircraft. Main weapon fires straight laser that cause limited damage but pass through enemies. Secondary weapon fires floating mines to the direction players are moving towards to. These mines move in a rolling pattern which makes them hard to hit but cause heavy damage. Charge weapon is also unusual: Pressing and releasing the fire button will release a bunch of mines. If moved, mines will be dropped in a straight line and stay there, acting like a mine line. If dropped while remaining still, they will be spread around the plane. Super weapon fires a large mine, which will after reaching the upper edge of the screen or hitting an enemy, will explode and release a bunch of smaller mines around the screen.
	B-239 Buffalo

A-10 Main Weapon: Concentrated (3 power-tp for max) Secondary Weapon: Homing Mines Charge Weapon: None Super Weapon: Guided Rapid Fire (4 max) A plane with a weird super weapon.

	YF-23
	United States Air Force protoype stealth fighter. Never entered service. First flight occured in 1990. Pilot: Whity Main Weapon: Spread (2 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Sonic Wave Charge Weapon: None Super Weapon: Massive Floating Balls (4 max) Both main and secondary weapons have a very large coverage but limited firepower.

	Hs 129 B-3
	Nazi Germany Air Force twin engine ground attack aircraft. Entered service in April 1942. Pilot: Whity Main Weapon: Concentrated (3 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Floating Mines Charge Weapon: Wave Shot Super Weapon: Tidal Wave (5 max) Main weapon is a very narrow but powerful 75mm cannon shot. Secondary weapons look like smaller version of YF-23's super weapon but these are faster and can also block enemy projectiles. Charge weapon fires a short wave as soon as charge is over, unlike other planes which allow players to wait until button is released. Super weapon releases a tidal wave, which doesn't cause much damage but clears the screen of enemy projectiles.
	AV-8B Harrier II Plus
	United States Marine Corps version of the British/US VTOL attack aircraft. Entered service in 1969, Plus variant entered service in 1993. Pilot: River N.

White Main Weapon: Tracking Turret (3 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Unguided Rockets Charge Weapon: Gun Lock Super Weapon: Drone Fighters (4 max) Another unique plane that is thankfully much better aircraft than its real life counterpart. Main weapon is one of a kind: it locks on enemies automatically when rapid fire button is pressed but accuracy and tracking is rather sub-par. Holding down the fire button will lock the gun in place, allowing players to fire regularly like other planes. Secondary weapon fires unguided rockets forwards, increasing coverage. Super Weapon is also very unique: It calls up several small fighter that keep firing as long as they are alive. Small fighters are invulnerable for a few seconds when they are called up but this doesn't last long. Fighters can be shot down by enemy fire but they also act as shields for Defiant.
	Rafale M
	French Navy carrier based multi-role aircraft. Entered service in 2001. Pilot: Angela Main Weapon: Concentrated (2 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Scatter Mines Charge Weapon: None Super Weapon: Singularity Bomb (5 max) One of the better planes in the game. Primary weapon fires narrow but powerful shots while secondary weapon fires several floating mines in a criss-cross pattern. They are hard to hit but cause decent damage. Super Weapon makes the plane loop and drop a powerful bomb which causes a black hole. It damages enemies and also blocks enemy shots while allowing your projectiles to pass through. Great weapon for bosses.
	Dewoitine D.520
	French Air Force single engine fighter. Entered service in January 1940. Pilot: Angela Main Weapon: Spread (3 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Satellite Charge Weapon: Satellite Laser Super Weapon: Stage Lights (4 max) Another unique plane. Main weapon is a rather weak spread weapon. Secondary weapon is a small satellite circles around your plane. If moving left, it moves in a clockwise pattern while moving right, it moves in a counter-clockwise pattern. While it can stop enemy projectiles, it is rather small. When fire button is pressed, satellite fires a powerful laser weapon. Special weapon creates a pair of stage lights that target every enemy in the screen but causes low damage and does not clear enemy projectiles.
	F-14 Tomcat
	United States Navy carrier based multi-role aircraft. Entered service in 1974. Pilot: Ellen & Cynthia Main Weapon: Concentrated (4 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Homing Missiles Charge Weapon: Wing Adjust Super Weapon: Missile Rain (5 max) Fastest aircraft in the game, which might make it harder to control. Secondary weapons fire homing missiles with good accuracy. Holding down the fire botton will expand wings, which will make it slower and easier to control. Super weapon rains down multiple small missiles to the screen. While powerful, they can be a bit hard to aim.
	Swordfish
	Royal Navy/Royal Air Force carrier based biplane torpedo bomber Pilot: Ellen & Cynthia Main Weapon: Spread (1 power-up for max) Secondary Weapon: Depth Charges Charge Weapon: Heavy Rockets Super Weapon: Torpedo (6 max) This plane has good coverage but overall weak firepower. Main weapon has the best coverage but firepower is very weak. Secondary weapon has good cone shaped range and bounces off the ground. Charge weapon fires a couple rockets with average firepower. Super weapon fires a large torpedo that detonates and fires waves towards left and right.
	Aka-Usagi
	Rabbit shaped fighter plane from Rebio Lupus. Pilot: Kotomi Main Weapon: Concentrated (2 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: Homing Missiles Charge Weapon: Plasma Shot Super Weapon: Pinball Strike (6 max) Arguably most powerful aircraft in the game, Aka-Usagi has very strong frontal firepower and unlike other planes, never powers down unless you lose a life. Main weapon is narrow but powerful while secondary weapon is equally destructive. Charge weapon fires a small but powerful ball of energy that can penetrate enemies. Super weapon makes Aka-Usagi invulnerable for a while, allowing player to simply crash though enemies.
	Diabloon
	Heavily armed flying battle car from Turbo Fighters Pilot: The Man (Captain Waffle or Gore) Main Weapon: Variable Shot (7 power-ups for max) Secondary Weapon: None Charge Weapon: None Super Weapon: Fireball Rain (2 max) A very difficult aircraft to use. Biggest problem is unlike other fighters, who only lose maximum firepower after using full power for a while, Diabloon loses power during any power level. It has no secondary and charge weapons. Super weapon can cause significant damage but quirky main weapon will make finishing the game with Diabloon quite a challenge.
