In some ways, Sonic Wings Limited is, as its name implies, a simplified, arcade-only version of Sonic Wings Special; however, it does have a few differences which make it worth playing for those already familiar with Special. Limited features all of Special's characters, save for the unlockable Kotomi and The Man, although Keaton appears only as Mecha-Keaton and not in his human form. Each character also only has one aircraft instead of a second unlockable one as in Special. While Limited's character endings are the same as in Special, the stage selection process is more complicated. Rather than allowing the player to actively choose stages, the player's score at certain points in the game determine which stages-- and which final bosses and endings-- appear.

Limited's first boss, that of the Kyoto/Japan level, is a tank which moves on bullet train tracks, a boss which does not appear in any other Sonic Wings game. The other bosses are all in other games, most of them in Special, but they appear in different levels than in other games. Finally, the background for the Kyoto/Japan level is completely different than in Special.

Limited was released in Taiwan in English as "Aero Fighters Special."
