Giga Wing

Giga Wing is a vertical scrolling shoot ’em up set in 2050, after generations of war over the divine stone known as Medallion. Four pilots, each carrying a mysterious stone, set out to destroy it.

Players can choose any of the four pilots and fight through enemy-filled stages, either alone or with a second player. The main gun fires with the A button, while holding it activates the Reflect Force, which repels enemy shots. The B button launches a limited bomb that also provides temporary invincibility.

Power-ups can improve the main gun or increase bomb and life stocks. Reflecting enemy fire into opponents creates medals, and collecting those medals raises the score multiplier.
