New Sonic Wings/Aero Fighters game by SUCCESS

Yeah, sealing is when you get close to enemies to prevent them from shooting. Some games have it and some don't, but it's been around for a long time; the earliest game that I know of that has it is Gyrodine from 1984 (also the earliest game that I have played that has practical internal autofire), but I wouldn't be surprised if there was something earlier that has it. Battle Garegga's rank famously increases when you do it in that game.

Each ship has a different speed, though, with I think Whity the dolphin being the fastest. I agree that the only meaningful choice is to pick a fast ship in this case.

As for sealing, I am actually not sure, since it can be hard to read the screen clutter at times. I haven't rigorously tested whether or not there's bullet sealing. I can say that there is no bullet sealing in the 1997 Sonic Wings Limited

Yeah, that makes whatever ship is the fastest the best ship in the game for scoring. I'm guessing that getting a pacifist 1-ALL is automatically going to give the player a higher score than whatever the most optimal non-pacifist 2-ALL is (I'm guessing 100% destruction rate, no miss, least bombs used, and 2X multiplier for as much of the game as possible). That is... highly questionable game design, I think. At least it should be pretty easy to test sealing on the ships and turrets on some of the stages.

I'd be lying if I said the discovery of this pacifist bonus hasn't intrigued me and made me interested in playing the game some more for the lolz. Maybe I'll try to pick up whatever version I can find cheapest, whether on a Steam sale or a used console version. Maybe I'll get the Switch version and not patch it just so I can try to crash the game! I enjoy kusoge if they are the type that can be enjoyed for how bad they are and I'm not sure if this game qualifies, but it might.
