Aero Fighters 3, known as Sonic Wings 3 (Japanese: ソニックウィングス3, Hepburn: Sonikkū~ingusu 3) in Japan and Europe, is a vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game released in 1995 by Video System.

Destroying large enemies on the ground, as well as buildings and other prominent bits of scenery, will frequently reveal any of the above powerups as well as currency icons, which change depending upon the nationality of the player's character.

[3] Reviewing the Neo Geo AES version, GamePro's Major Mike said the game has intense action and audio, but lacks fresh gameplay and is not as fun as Aero Fighters 2.

[4] MAN!AC's Andreas Knauf heavily criticized the graphics for their lack of care and strange music, regarding it as a "loveless shooting game with messed up backgrounds, annoying giant opponents and ultra-short levels".

[6] In contrast, Nintendo Life's Dave Frear commended the character roster, multiple paths, visual design, vocal music tracks and replay value.
