RQ: Aero Fighters Special/Sonic Wings Limited medal values

Post by oboewan42 »

Is there any rhyme or reason to the medal values in this game? I know that in AF2/AF3 they're based on how high on the screen you collect them, but that's most assuredly not the case here.

(Edit: AC, not PS1)

It's the same in Special as it is in 2 and 3, they're worth 10k at the top of the screen. What version are you playing?

Ah, you're talking about Limited, not Special.

Unfortunately I've not played that one, if you edit the thread title hopefully you'll get a response from someone who has.

Sonic Wings Special is the version available for the Saturn and PS1.

'Aero Fighters Special' is a different game, I think it's the Taiwan version of Sonic Wings Limited arcade game. In both AFS and SWL the points value for each medal depends on how long it has been on screen, which usually means destroying an enemy near the top of the screen to uncover the medal, then collecting the medal near the bottom of the screen.
