## **Stage Info**

Pilotwings is a series of flight simulator games that originated on the SNES. In these games players are able to pilot light planes, helicopters and a rocket belt as well as allowing them to hangglide, skydive, and wear a flying squirrel suit! If you do well enough, you might just be able to earn your pilot license!

## **Stage Layout**

This stage starts out with the fighters battling it out on a red biplane with both its top and bottom wings serving as platforms. The wings are the same length as each other with the top wing counting as a soft platform and the bottom wing counting as a semi-soft platform allowing fighters to jump up through them, but not fall down through them. This portion of the flight shows the red plane flying over a flat 2D island which is a copy of the island seen in lesson 3 of the original Pilotwings on SNES.

After some time passes, a yellow plane can be seen in the near distance which the red plane will eventually catch up to and fly above. When the red plane is about to pass above the yellow plane, the fighters will be dropped from the red plane and fall down onto the yellow one. The yellow plane only has a single wing which acts as a semi-soft platform as well as two rotors below it which can be fought on as well. During this part of the flight the plane will fly around Wuhu Island as was seen in Pilotwings Resort. After a while the red plane will be seen in the distance which the yellow plane will fly over and dump the fighters onto as the cycle begins anew.

While the flight is occurring other planes and other various flyable devices can be seen in the background piloted by other characters from the Pilotwings franchise such as Big Al and Lark.

	+ Pedal Glider - A gentle remix with light percussion and a focus on guitars. Strangely, this remix is actually more similar to the Hang Glider theme instead of the Pedal Glider theme. [SSB4]
	+ Turbo Jet - A light jazz remix which includes piano, brass, and clean electric guitar. This track starts with the “Opening” theme before changing to “Turbo Jet”. Before this track loops back to the start, a small remix of Light Plane can be heard before the track returns to the Opening theme. [SSB4]
* **X**
	+ Tunnel Scene - A techno-inspired remix of the Tunnel theme. [SSBB]
* **X-Scape**
	+ Tunnel Theme - A slightly-updated remix of the Tunnel theme. [SSB4]
