Windy Hill Zone (ウインディヒル, Windy Hill) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The stage is set in the first level of Sonic Lost World by the same name.

Overview

The full layout of Windy Hill Zone consist of a lush grassy platform with curved hills and multiple platforms above. The platforms are made out of checkerboard pattern dirt with grass and other plants grown on them. Like the Mario Galaxy stage, the main platform consist of a point-like center of gravity; so jumping or getting launched upwards from the edge will cause the character to move diagonally. A giant windmill with platforms connected to each blade appears on the right side of the stage with a portion of the windmill going past the blast line. 2 double-sided springs ocaasionally appear at both sides of the bottom blast line. Seven Animal friends (Flicky, Pecky, Picky, Pocky, Cucky, Ricky, and Rocky) from Sonic the Hedgehog can be seen in the background.

Origin

Windy Hill Zone first appeared in the game Sonic Lost World. Windy Hill is the first area in Sonic Lost World and is a lush grassy area full of plants and trees. It also contains checkerboard pattern soil, which is similar to how platforms were in the first Zone of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Green Hill Zone. The windmill from the level is also present.

Springs first appeared in the original Sonic the Hedgehog and were either colored red or yellow. They were usually used to allow the player to access higher parts of the levels, or, if the spring is sideways, to make the player run faster. Springs have appeared in numerous Sonic games since, but the design was changed in Sonic Adventure and has remained the same since. The new design features the spring being red and blue with a yellow star in the center. This design; however, first originated in Sonic the Hedgehog as the Bobbins (also known as "Bumpers") in Spring Yard Zone were designed similarly. In this stage, there are springs on each side and their design is based off their appearance in Sonic Lost World; however, there were no springs that were back-to-back in Windy Hill.
