The '''''Pilotwings'' universe''' ({{ja|パイロットウイングス|Pairottouingusu}}, ''Pilotwings'') refers to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe's collection of characters, stages, or other properties that hail from the ''Pilotwings'' series of amateur flight simulation games.

==Franchise description==
''Pilotwings'' was developed by Nintendo EAD alongside ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Super Mario World}}'' and {{uv|F-Zero}}. A similar tech demo titled ''Dragonfly'' was shown off to the press at trade shows in 1988. The idea of the game was to show how the Mode 7 graphics system can simulate 3D imagery by manipulating flat images to create a field of depth. The game was released in Japan on December 21, 1990 and was a launch title for the {{iw|nintendowiki|SNES}} in other territories throughout 1991.

A sequel, titled ''Pilotwings 64'' was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] as one of its three launch titles. Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, this game was made to show the console's ability to display large, high resolution landscapes with minimal load times and pop-in. The game also utilizes the analog stick to simulate the controls of real flight craft with realistic rise and descent physics.

In 2003, it was announced that {{iw|wikipedia|Factor 5}} (best known for the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Star Wars: Rogue Squadron|series}}'' series) was working on a ''Pilotwings'' for the GameCube, set during the {{iw|wikipedia|Cold War}}. Development was moved to Nintendo's Wii console shortly thereafter, becoming a free roam game, before being rebranded as an original IP called ''WeFly'' before being canceled.

After going dormant for fifteen years Pilotwings returned with ''Pilotwings Resort''. Released in 2011 as a launch title for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Alongside the portable nature of the game, ''Pilotwings Resort'' stands out among the series for using the 3D effect to further immerse the player in the game as well as applying the built-in gyroscope as a more intuitive control scheme. The game takes place entirely on [[Wuhu Island]], as it was released at a time when [[Nintendo]] wanted to make the island a character in and of itself.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
''Pilotwings'' receives very minimal representation in ''Brawl'', being limited to a single sticker.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
''Pilotwings'' receives a much larger representation in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS'', with a stage, soundtracks and trophies in {{forwiiu}}, in addition to an item in both versions.

===Stage (''for Wii U'' only)===
*[[File:PilotwingsIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Pilotwings]]'''[[Pilotwings]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): A stage based on ''Pilotwings'' for the SNES and ''Pilotwings Resort'' for Nintendo 3DS appears in {{forwiiu}}. Players will fight atop planes from both games. The red bi-plane from ''Pilotwings'' will take off from a 2-D island from the SNES game. From there, after about a minute has passed, it is shown that the red bi-plane will meet up with a yellow plane, modeled after the planes of ''Pilotwings Resort'', and will fly the combatants straight to Wuhu Island. After a minute has passed once again, the cycle will repeat, with the yellow plane bringing the combatants from Wuhu Island to the runway from the original Pilotwings for SNES, and so on.

===Trophies===
{{Trophy
|name=Light Plane
|image=LightPlaneTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=Back in the day when planes had fairly weak engines, two pairs of wings were used to increase the plane's lift. These planes weren't meant for crazy acrobatic tricks, though—they were best suited for learning the basics of flying. Ride these, and leave the complicated stuff for another day!
|desc-pal=Back when aircraft engines were relatively weak, planes were often built with wings at the top and bottom for extra lift. That's what this is: a biplane. Leave all the crazy stunts to other planes – this one's for learning the basics. In fact, forget all that complicated stuff about "extra lift" and whatnot, and just enjoy soaring through the air!

|desc-ntsc=To get to fly a plane around a tropical resort, normally you'd need to study really hard, take a flying test, fail the test, retake the test, get your license, save up for ages, and then go to a tropical island. In Pilotwings Resort, you get to skip those boring parts and experience speeding, turning, and rolling high in the air right away! Woo!

|desc-ntsc=In the mood to feel less like a pilot and more like a bird? Then forget planes—try hang gliding! Like a bird, you won't have any propellers or engines, so just ride the breeze and take photos from high in the sky. The wind might throw you around a bit, but if you stay calm, you can become one with the wind current.
