Wuhu Island (ウーフーアイランド, Wuhu Island) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, based off of the island in Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart 7, and Pilotwings Resort. The stage travels over Wuhu Island on red and blue platforms. The stage stops in multiple locations on the island, similar to Delfino Plaza and Skyloft.

Overview

Wuhu Island consists of various landmarks, which all make up separate parts of the stage. These include:

  • Frisbee Dog Park - One long grounded platform, made up of sand. A Mii appears with his dog in the background, throwing a Frisbee for it.
  • Swaying Bridge - A floating semisoft platform made up of a long bridge. There are several gaps in the bridge that characters can fall between.
  • The boat - A moving boat that works similarly to Pirate Ship from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, albeit facing the other way around. Characters can swim in the water surrounding the boat, but there is a current pushing them to the left. If a character hits the hull of the boat, they will be meteor smashed for an OHKO.
  • Rocks at sea - A group of rocks that make up platforms in a part of the stage which is otherwise mostly water.
  • Maka Wuhu - The top of the volcano, which characters can fall inside to be KO'ed. Two platforms surround the left and right sides of Maka Wuhu, both inside and out.
  • Boating gate - A platform above sea, with walls on either side, and a small platform to stand on at the bottom on each side. Miis can be seen powersailing through the gate. Characters can swim in the surrounding water.
  • Wishing Fountain - A grounded area, with a large fountain in the center. The fountain can push characters upwards.
  • Swordplay Colosseum - Comparable to an Omega form, this is a single aerial platform. A crowd of Miis watch in the background.
  • Talon Rock - A pointy rock close to the swaying bridge, consisting of a slight slope and an abyss. A balloon will appear and can be popped, giving 10% to anyone near it when it pops.

The floating platform that carries characters to each location is semisoft, and changes layout with each appearance.

Ω Form

The Omega form is a thicker version of the base of the first platform. The stage tours the island in a fixed path and won't stop at any places of interest. However, unlike the default form of this stage, characters can get Star KO'd here.

Wuhu Island first appeared in Wii Fit, where some workouts would take place in various areas of Wuhu Island. The island would later make a more detailed appearance in Wii Sports Resort, which featured a Free Flight game, allowing Miis to freely fly to any area of Wuhu Island, much like the progression of the stage in Smash 4. This would later be expanded upon in Pilotwings Resort.

The tropical island from Wii Sports Resort is the perfect place to enjoy a few sporting activities. Go on a close tour of it by selecting the Wuhu Island stage, or get a bird's-eye view of the island with the Pilotwings stage. Just don't get too awestruck—with the stage constantly changing under your feet, you can't afford to lose focus!

Trivia

  • The yellow seaplane from the Pilotwings stage can be seen flying in the background.
    • In addition, Wuhu Island itself appears in the stage, meaning both stages take place at the same location, despite being from different universes.
  • The Super Smash Bros. logo can be seen on the platforms, on the right side of them.
