| - Sonic Wings Assault, the last game in the Sonic Wings series, stands out for its completely different style of game play. Deviating from the vertically scrolling tradition, players must fly through three-dimensional space in timed missions to attack boss enemies, along with their supporting aircraft. Besides worrying about getting shot down by the enemy, players must also avoid crashing into the ground or buildings. Each player is flanked by three wingmen and reports to the carrier Goliath. Assault features the fewest playable characters out of the entire series, with only four options available in normal play and two hidden, unlockable characters. There is also little plot revealed within the game itself, with no dialogue in between stages.

Assault features the fewest playable characters out of the entire series, with only four options available in normal play and two hidden, unlockable characters. There is also little plot revealed within the game itself, with no dialogue in between stages. Still, there are many familiar elements in Assault: most playable characters were featured in previous games, and most of the bosses are familiar enemies. In addition, many of the sound effects, such as the character select noises, are old Sonic Wings standbys. The US game manual provides the following back story on the game: the series' enemy, the terrorist organization Fata Morgana, detonated a "heat-generating bomb" in the Antarctic, which has flooded major cities around the world. All of the world's military is preoccupied with other tasks, leaving Project Blue, organized by the United Nations, to defeat the enemy.
