* ScrappyMechanic: A slight one in the SNES version particularly for those coming from the arcade version. The arcade version has a standard LifeMeter; getting hit chips away at it and you die if it runs out. In the SNES version, when you take a hit, the game puts you in Danger mode and if you get hit again before you exit Danger mode a few seconds later, you die instantly even if you still have plenty of health left. (If your health is too low, Danger mode will persist until you pick up a health item or finish the stage, but that's to be expected.) While it won't necessarily mean a GameOver since this version gives you multiple lives while the arcade version only gives you one life, it can be annoying to have to restart an entire level just from taking two hits in a row.

It's a small wonder that [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome most players pick Greg]], due to him having the fastest lifebar recovery.

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Most players of the SNES version stick to Greg, due to recovering out of Danger mode faster than the other two pilots.
* CultClassic: An underrated gem of the shmup genre if there ever was, and a darling to those privy to its existence.
* GameBreaker: In Stage 5 of the arcade version, if you destroy all of the rock pillars then collect the item that comes out of the last one, you will obtain the Thunder Laser sub-weapon, which does a lot of damage in a 3-way spread and pierces through enemies. Perhaps because of how powerful it is, [[UnderusedGameMechanic you can only use it until the stage ends]]. It is available as a regular weapon in some planes in the SNES version, [[{{Nerf}} but you get far less ammo for it]].
* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: ''U.N. Squadron'' is widely considered to be one of the genre's finest offerings of the late 80s/early 90s, if not of all time. The fact that [[http://www.ign.com/top/snes-games/37 IGN ranked it 37th out of the entire SNES stable,]] the highest spot among shmups on that list, is a testament to this side-scroller's quality.

* ThatOneLevel: The cave level in both versions. Tight spaces, enemies at awkward angles, and narrow sections where parts of the ceiling cave in to reduce your flying space even further.
