Take to the skies around Wuhu Island, clearing missions in a variety of aircraft in order to earn your Pilotwings.
Each mission requires you to complete certain objectives. You are given points based on your speed and accuracy, and graded with up to three stars for successful completion.
You can also take part in the Free Flight Mode, where you explore Wuhu Island with a time limit, hunting down Information Points and other collectables to unlock more features in the game.
You start out piloting a Biplane, Handglider or Jet Pack, but more vehicles become available as you clear the missions.
Cameos
Wuhu Island Cameos
Screenshot Required
Pilotwings Resort takes place on Wuhu Island, which was also the setting for Wii Sports Resort. As the location is the same, several of the cameos that appeared in that game are also the same:
-
Mario SFX in Hill Village
When you fly over Hill Village, you can hear sound effects from Super Mario Bros. coming from one of the houses.
-
The Queen Peach
The luxury cruise liner, The Queen Peach, is named after Princess Peach from the Mario series.
-
Wuhu Island
Wuhu Island itself may be named after the exclamation "Woohoo!", one of Mario's many catchphrases.
Meca Hawk
After achieving three stars on every mission, including in the Diamond Class, you unlock Meca Hawk, a giant robot that walks around Wedge Island in Free Flight Mode. He doesn't do anything other than give you an extra Information icon to collect.
Hawk was one of the playable characters in Pilotwings 64, and one of the missions in that game was to take down the giant Meca Hawk as it rampaged across the Little States stage.
