Pilotwings (パイロットウイングス, Pilotwings) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The stage is set in the third level of Pilotwings and Wuhu Island, the main world of Pilotwings Resort.

Overview

Combatants fight atop the wings of a biplane as it flies through the sky over a flat, 2D island. Over the process of the battle, combatants will move from the biplane onto a yellow plane as flies towards and over Wuhu Island. The yellow plane will eventually make its way back to the first island and onto the red biplane, starting the loop over again. Miis will be on this stage wearing jetpacks from Pilotwings Resort. The bridge will also damage anyone in the way, seemingly being strong enough to KO certain characters at higher percentages.

Ω Form

The Omega form is set on a floating platform with the color scheme of the yellow plane which appears to have a design of aircraft structure at the bottom. Like Wuhu Island the stage tours the same area but take a different path. The planes can still be seen in the background.

Origin

As a stage named after its series, it originates from both Pilotwings for the SNES and Pilotwings Resort for the 3DS. The red biplane in this stage is the 'Light Plane' used in Pilotwings, and the flat, 2D island is the runway from lesson 3 of Pilotwings. The island is also in lesson 7, however, lesson 3 takes place in the daytime, while lesson 7 takes place at sunset. The yellow plane is modeled after the mono-wing sea planes used in Pilotwings Resort as it flies towards Wuhu Island. Wuhu Island first appeared in Wii Fit and Wii Sports Resort, and is also the main area in Pilotwings Resort. It also appeared in Mario Kart 7 as a track in the game.

Trivia

• There are some other small 2D islands spread across the ocean, although they never appeared in the original Pilotwings.
• The yellow plane from Pilotwings Resort has a full glass case over the cockpit, hiding whoever is flying the plane. The cockpit appears open in the respective game.
• The islands from both Pilotwings and Pilotwings Resort are portrayed as existing in the same area of the ocean, however this is not true as neither neighbouring island can be seen in each game.
• On the bi-plane section of this stage the point rings take the form of the old design from the original Pilotwings, and as the stage changes to the yellow plane the rings take on the new design from Pilotwings 64 and Pilotwings Resort.
• Pilotwings 64 is the only Pilotwings game not represented in this stage.
