[edit] Trivia

• The game's storyline changes according to the pilots currently selected, this applies to the endings as well.
• In one part of the city in the Japan stage, you can see Red Rabbit (from "Rabio Lepus") on a sign, a poster of Mao Mao, a small sign with Mambu on it, and the infamous "Heroin Magic" sign. Also, check out the theme park in the U.S.A. stage. Among the rides, you can see the Red Rabbit, Tenukie, and Mambu.
• The game forbids the initials "SEX" on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to "OH!".
• The desert level boss form Aero Fighters makes a cameo appearance. The real boss is a huge armored train.
• The New York level allows you to destroy the World Trade Center. You cannot, however, destroy the Statue of Liberty. Firing on it reveals a power-up, but it remains intact.
