Irem touts 99 types of ships to use which are unlocked as the player progresses through the level. Colors (body and canopy) may be customized and weapon choices (missile types, bombs and Force Units) are picked before the level begins. The battle in R-Type Final starts on Earth and eventually takes the player through the solar system to the heart of the Bydo Empire.

   An R's Museum section allows the viewing of every R-Type ship in the game, their capabilities and weapon systems which is a nice little touch to close out the R-Type franchise and bid adieu to staunch fans.
