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.
−
By chaining medals and maximizing destruction rate, the player can earn millions of points per hit.
 
  
−
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).

Gold Medals '''exponentially increase in value''' as they are collected.<br>

Each Gold Medal collected increases the value of all following medals, and this value is then added into the game's multiplier.<br>
 
−
The chain value is reset when the player dies, or a new stage has begun.
 
−
 
−
Achieving particularly high scores is greatly dependent on maintaining large medal chains without dying, and routing the best moments and angles to reflect enemy bullets and collect many medals.
 
−
(B + N) = V<br>
 
−
  B = Base value of the medal collected.
 
−
  N = Overall medal collection value at the time of collection
 
−
  V = Final value that is added to the following medal, then added to the multiplier
 
−
 
−
As an example; if the player collects a medal that is worth '''+10''' after collecting no medals, then the overall medal collection value applied to the next medal will be '''10''', and the multiplier will now be at '''x11'''. <br>(10 + 0) = 10
 
−
 
−
If the player then collects five medals, each worth '''+1''', then the first medal, instead of being worth 1, will be worth '''11''' (making the multiplier '''x22'''), then 12 ('''x34'''), then 13 ('''x47'''), then 14 ('''x61'''), then 15 ('''x76''').<br>(1 + 10) = 11 > ''etc.'' > (1 + 15) = 16

==== Multiplier Breakdown ====

----
−
The multiplier in ''Giga Wing'' spans the entire run.<br>
 
−
The player is constantly carrying a massive multiplier with them through all seven stages, and it makes going for high scoring strategies extremely valuable in the early game.<br>
 
−
 
−
(V + X) = Y<br>
 
−
  X = Previous multiplier value
 
−
  Y = Current multiplier value
 
−
 
−
The multiplier, much like medals, is increasing exponentially with each medal collected, and this multiplier increases the value of every object and enemy that the player destroys.
 
−
(Y + A) = Z<br>
 
−
  A = Base value of object destroyed
 
−
  Z = Score given to player on destruction
 
−
 
−
For example; if the player destroyed an enemy worth '''150pts''', with a '''x394049''' multiplier, the enemy will be worth '''59,107,350pts'''.
