Yeah, I agreed. It should change into Wario somehow during the battle.

what happens when you fall off the plane?
You fail certification.
Hopefully we get Sonic back so we have him pose on this stage.
Just like old times.
I like the way you think

Generic Pilotwings guy for Smash?
How many Stages without a Rep from the game did we have in Brawl?
And i thought that 3DS gets the handheld staged and Wii U the console stages, Pilotwings U confirmed?

Battlefield and Final Destination (they don't count though).
For the latter part, I think that doesn't mean anything. Pilotwings was on the N64 and th 3DS, Sakurai simply chose the WiiU over the 3DS for unknown reasons. Also it's not official that this stage won't appear on the 3DS, we know nothing yet.
I guess it will be available for both.
And no we won't get a Pilotwings rep in the roster, maybe the Mii since if I remember right was playable on the 3DS version. Maybe.

Plus ROB was stage-less, unless Mario Circuit counts.
3DS game is getting a Nintendogs stage too, FWIW.
Three right? Smashville, PictoChat and Hanenbow.
And two out of the three Pilotwing games are on a console so I don't think we can read anything into the inclusion of Wuhu Island. Also it was in Wii Sports Resort which had the plane minigame.

okay, so they have an AC rep now and the other 2 games hardly have a protagonist.
ROB's Brawl stage was Mario Bros., not Mario Circuit.
I'll say it again, ROB needs his own stage based on Gyromite.
You know... this reminds me of a question that has been bugging me for years. When Pilotwings was revealed, I've noticed no one was apparently bothered that it featured Miis. I'm kind of shocked since I've seen plenty of people asking for a Pilotwings sequel. Was anyone here bothered by the Miis inclusion?
Asking since I'm just really curious.

true, but a Mii with a jetpack seems likely.

One is not even a game.
I'd like to see more stages taken from a franchise which is not "worthy" of a playable rep anyway.
Especially the retro ones (if done good, not like 75m and Mario Bros. which were abysmal).
I really think people are putting too much stock into this 'handheld games for 3DS Smash, console games for WiiU Smash' thing. I'm pretty sure its only relevant where a series has had multiple games since Brawl - Mario, Zelda, Kirby?, etc - as a way of solving the problem of having too many possible options for stages. They're not going to go "oh, there was no Pikmin game on handhelds, no Pikmin stage for the 3DS version.

Never played Pilotwings, but wasn't it with generic cartoon humans anyway? It's not like they substituted Link with a Mii in the next Zelda.
A medley of these two songs remixed would be perfect for the Pilotwings level.

People were more than happy that it was a new Pilotwings after so long. I guess the fact it was also based around Wuhu Island made their inclusion feel more natural.
Miis are far to diverse to be limited to a Pilotwings.
SNES - realistic humans.
N64 - cartoony humans
3DS - Miis
So yeah, there wasn't really a set look for Pilotwings to follow.
I want the short but sweet title screen jingle to be included somehow. A medley would be perfect for it.
I honestly feel the same way as you do. People worry a tad too much when it comes to Smash.
I've never played Pilotwings but I was assuming that's the case as well. So I guess that makes a lot of sense.
That reminds me. Is Wuhu Island itself similar to Pilotwings' island?
Not really but kind of, ish? Pilotwings was originally created because Miyamoto wanted a flight simulator... for himself to personally toy with. It feels like Wuhu Island was a natural evolution of this need to create a world to play in and Pilotwings just kind of fit in.
Oh, that's pretty interesting. The Mii inclusions makes a lot more sense.
I like reading about these kind of stuff, thanks guys!
Yeah it's really interesting. I read it in an interview somewhere years ago. From what I remember, it was basically Miyamoto going "Ok guys I want to be a pilot, make me a training course!". Another interesting thing I remember reading about Pilotwings was Paul McCartney really liking and praising the music of the game.

Weird, I always figured Pilotwings was just made to show off Mode 7.

If you mean anime people looking realistic.
I loved PW64's cast. They had different proficiences and were all named after birds! One of them is a Nintendo Power mascot.
Well that was definitely part of it!
Nice!
I'm assuming that the transportation ability of the plane will not be wasted and the stage will involve flying over to Wuhu Island.

Since it's been so long since a regular entry in the franchise, can we now expect a similar retro-themed stage for F-Zero? Mode-7 Mute City + 3D course floating over...
Other retro-themed stages would be cool as well

Pilotwings was originally just made up of a series of small islands, one for each lesson (basically level) and a really big map for the final mission. Wuhu Island on the other hand is one big compact island with a few smaller islands around it. Much like Mario's original intention was to be a character to star in multiple games called Mr. Video, Wuhu Island was apparently designed to all be a "character" that can star in multiple games which is why is has quite a varied landscape.
Well the old scans when it was known as Dragonfly seem to support this. The first scan even makes this quite clear.

I don't think so, because then it'd just look a like a copy of this very stage. I guess they can reuse GX's assets again, but this time for Mute City.

Yeah, they'll probably do one. Should be Main Street.
Yeah, it'll be set out like the Earthbound stage on Brawl. (forgot the name, it was like a street setup).
That'd be damn awesome.
Onett. That is actually one of my favorite stages from Melee especially because I love that kind of setting. I sometimes pause the game and move the camera around to look at all of the level as much as possible. Good ol times.
They had Isabelle and a bunch of New Leaf specific stuff in the CGI trailer so there's no way that they won't feature it on the 3DS version.

Wuhu Island ruins it.
Have you played Pilotwings Resort? As shallow of a game as it may be, it makes it plainly apparent what a great locale Wuhu Island is for jetpacking and gliding around.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Does this mean Pilotwings SNES exist in Wuhuverse
It means that Pilotwings SNES exists in the Wuhuverse that exists in the Smashverse which apparently exists in the Kid Icarus universe if I remember rightly.
Sure hope so. Perhaps while traveling, the platform/vehicle you're standing on changes.

Wuhu Island is in few games, but I think Pilotwing/Wuhu Island would be perfect stage for Mii to represent. I think Mii become more likely to be playable character with Wuhu Island.
I don't think they would give Mii with jetpack because Diddy had one.
Pilotwings stage looks awesome so far
Yeah, the stage look so great.

Yahoo! Not that anyone cares but I called it! Fighting on a biplane, flying around to different Pilot Wings islands!
Maybe this is the new Lylat Cruis. I'm betting the characters won't stop on the land marks.
