* MinimalistRun - ''Giga Wing'' allows for a 0-score run, but it is very difficult as it is also a PacifistRun, as your medal-increased multiplier starts off at 1. ''Giga Wing 2'', on the other hand, starts your multiplier off at ''zero'', meaning that so long as you never pick up a single medal, you can commit total genocide of the enemy forces and still finish with a score of 0, despite the games focusing on scores that would be easier to write approximations of in scientific notation.

* ReturnToShooter - The Reflect mechanic.
* ScoreMultiplier - The core of this game's scoring system. Each medal will add its own value to the value of every medal you've picked up so far on your current life or stage, and that will be added to your multiplier. For instance, picking up a +5 at the beginning will add 5 to your multiplier. Picking up another +5 will add 5 to your medal count for 10, and 10 will be added to your multiplier. By the end of most stages, each medal will usually be adding thousands to your multiplier at a time. Even in the first game, a good player will have multipliers in the millions.
* ScoringPoints - One of the main highlights of the game, in a subversion of score being regarded as a pointless number. How often do you see scores of at least 1 trillion?
