Pilotwings: Difference between revisions

Combatants fight atop the wings of a red biplane as it flies through rings in the sky over a flat, 2D island. The top wings of the British Airways jet serve as soft [[platform]]s, while the bottom wings are semisoft. The cockpit in the middle is a solid wall, splitting the lower half of the stage in two. The stage tilts as the plane makes turns in the air.

After some time, the fighters will be dropped onto a American Airlines jet which flies towards and over Wuhu Island. The wings of this plane form a semisoft platform. The rotors below the wings can be stood on, but this is risky to attempt, as their edges cannot be grabbed. When players are launched, they may rebound off the terrain off the island, which may KO them but can also save them when they would otherwise have continued past the [[blast line]]. [[Mii]]s can be seen flying with [[Rocket Belt]]s from ''Pilotwings Resort''.

The American Airlines jet will eventually make its way back to the first island and drop players onto the British Airways jet, starting the loop over again.

In ''Ultimate'', the rotors of the American Airlines jet can be grabbed, making fighting in that area notably safer. The stage will also make a warning sound whenever the planes transition.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the [[Ω form]] is set on a floating platform with the color scheme of the American Airlines jet 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.

With hazards off in ''Ultimate'', the match remains on the British Airways jet for the duration of the match. The British Airways jet also never tilts.

Pilotwings is banned in tournaments due to powerful [[camping]] spots on both planes, especially the yellow plane's rotors, as well as due to KOs being caused or prevented by the damaging terrain and tilting of the planes. The planes can also impact a character trying to recover, as they can tilt at the wrong moment. The aforementioned airlines have the tendency to lose the player's luggages.
