* [[Ambiguous Gender]]: Angela, full bore. For starters, the character's called ''Steve'' in ''Aero Fighters 2''. Everywhere else (''Sonic Wings 2'' included), they're called Angela. All you have to do is figure out why the translators felt justified in that. Making matters more difficult is that different ending pictures depict them as male ''or'' female. ''And'', in ''Sonic Wings'', Angela uses [[Bokukko|male pronouns]]. The best example of the situation is to compare their endings with Hien and Ellen. Pay close attention to how [[Godiva Hair|their hair is falling in each one]]...▼
** In Keaton's ending with Angela, the latter was shown wearing a corset undergarment with a clearly feminine figure.

* [[Boss Game]]: The third game, arguably, as well as ''Assault''.▼
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: If it weren't for this and the zany cast of characters, most people would be dismissing this game as yet another generic vertical shooter.
▲* [[Boss Game]]: The third game, arguably, as well as ''Aero Fighters Assault''.
* [[
* [[Difficulty by Region]]: For some reason, ''Aero Fighters 3'' is a lot more difficult with the European BIOS than either the American mode or the Japanese original. Enemies are a lot more aggressive early on and bullets are faster.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The first game was a little more serious compared to the later games, despite having moments of comedy.
* [[
* {{spoiler|[[
* [[Flat Character]]: William Sid Pride in the first game.
* [[Flying Car]]: The guest character from ''[http://www.arcadeflyers.com/flyers_video/vsystem/151480201.jpg Turbo Force]''{{Dead link}} is a jet-propelled sport car.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: The alternate final bosses
* [[Good Bad Translation]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20091105092557/http://zanyvgquotes.com/aerofighters/index.html Lots] [https://web.archive.org/web/20091105092104/http://zanyvgquotes.com/aerofighters2/index.html of] [https://web.archive.org/web/20091105092602/http://zanyvgquotes.com/aerofighters3/index.html them].
* [[Guest Fighter]]: The ships from ''Rabio Lepius'' and ''Turbo Force'' appear as secret characters in most games.
* [[Heroic Dolphin
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Hien.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: All pilots have them, regardless of whether you're flying solo or with someone else, and whether or not you successfully defeat the final boss. In the rest of the series except for ''Aero Fighters Assault'', [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|there's even endings for each possible pair of characters.]]
* [[Nintendo Hard]]
* [[Sapient Cetaceans]]: Spanky is a dolphin who pilots a frickin' [
* [[Shout
** The first boss of ''Aero Fighters 2'' is heavily based on the gigantic spider tank from ''[[Raiden]] 2'', down to the way it explodes.
** The [[Bonus Boss]] of ''Sonic Wings 3'''s final stage is preceded with a black ball that displays the following text:

** In ''Assault'', Volk says "[[Scarface|Say hello to my little friend!]]" when using his special.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The first Sonic Wings was one to ''Turbo Force''.
** ''Samurai Aces'' and ''Gunbird'' are this to the first game. Both are made by a different company (Psikyo instead of Video System), but share a very similar engine and have the same director (Shin Nakamura).
* [[Time Stands Still]]: Mao(-Mao)'s bomb.
* [[Video Game 3D Leap]]: ''Aero Fighters Assault''.
* [[The Walls Have Eyes]]: Lar is a giant, disembodied, floating eye.
* [[Widget Series]]: Mainly because of the huge contrast. The characters and some of the final bosses are wacky, but the rest of the game looks like any other generic millitary shoot'em up.
