-Scoring in ''Giga Wing'' revolves around a game-spanning '''multiplier''' that the player is constantly increasing by collecting '''Gold Medals''' and destroying enemies, massively increasing their base value.<br>
+There are four ships to play in ''Giga Wing'', each one being piloted by a different character, which feature their own unique dialogue between stages.<br>
-Gold Medals are generated by destroying airborne enemies, destroying certain objects, and deflecting enemy bullets into enemies and objects using Reflect Force.<br>
+A fifth ship can be unlocked in the Dreamcast port by 1CCing the game.
-High scores can be valued upwards of the trillions. The [[STG Hall of Records#Giga Wing|Hall of Records]] shows that the highest scoring runs between all four ships average upwards of 260,000,000,000,000pts (260 trillion).
