The '''''Pilotwings'' universe''' ({{ja|パイロットウイングス|Pairottouingusu}}, ''Pilotwings'') refers to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe's collection of characters, stages, or other properties that hail from the ''Pilotwings'' series of amateur flight simulation games. The first game, ''Pilotwings'', released in 1991 as a launch title for the North American version of the {{s|nintendowiki|SNES}}, was noteworthy for being an early example of a game that used the console's Mode 7 graphical technique to enhance realism, in a similar vein to the launch racing game {{uv|F-Zero}}. After a Nintendo 64 follow-up, ''Pilotwings 64'', shared the spotlight alongside ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' as one of the only two launch titles for the [[Nintendo 64]], the series became dormant for fifteen years, up until the third game, ''Pilotwings Resort'', was similarly released as a launch title for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2011.

*'''[[Rocket Belt]]:''' The Rocket Belt is an equippable item in ''Smash 4'', which gives characters the ability to fly freely when the jump button is held.

 

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''==

''Pilotwings'' receives more representation in ''SSB4'', with a stage in {{forwiiu}}, in addition to an item found in both versions.

*[[File:PilotwingsIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Pilotwings]]'''[[Pilotwings]]:''' A stage based on ''Pilotwings'' for the SNES and ''Pilotwings Resort'' for Nintendo 3DS appears in {{forwiiu}}. Players will fight atop planes from both games. The red bi-plane from ''Pilotwings'' will take off from a 2-D island from the SNES game. From there, after about a minute has passed, it is shown that the red bi-plane will meet up with a yellow plane, modeled after the planes of ''Pilotwings Resort'', and will fly the combatants straight to Wuhu Island. After a minute has passed once again, the cycle will repeat, with the yellow plane bringing the combatants from Wuhu Island to the runway from the original Pilotwings for SNES, and so on.

{{flag|North America}} ''Back in the day when planes had fairly weak engines, two pairs of wings were used to increase the plane's lift. These planes weren't meant for crazy acrobatic tricks, though—they were best suited for learning the basics of flying. Ride these, and leave the complicated stuff for another day!''

{{flag|Europe}} ''Back when aircraft engines were relatively weak, planes were often built with wings at the top and bottom for extra lift. That's what this is: a biplane. Leave all the crazy stunts to other planes - this one's for learning the basics. In fact, forget all that complicated stuff about "extra lift" and whatnot, and just enjoy soaring through the air!''

{{flag|North America}} ''In the mood to feel less like a pilot and more like a bird? Then forget planes—try hang gliding! Like a bird, you won't have any propellers or engines, so just ride the breeze and take photos from high in the sky. The wind might throw you around a bit, but if you stay calm, you can become one with the wind current.''

{{flag|Europe}} ''In the mood to feel less like a pilot and more like a...bird? Then forget planes - try a hang-glider! Like a bird, you won't have any propellers or engines, so just ride the breeze and take photos from a bird's-eye view. The wind might throw you around a bit, but stay calm and try to become one with the current.''

{{Trophy games|console1=SNES|game1=Pilotwings (08/1991)|console2=3DS|game2=Pilotwings Resort (03/2011)}}

''To get to fly a plane around a tropical resort, normally you'd need to study really hard, take a flying test, fail the test, retake the test, get your license, save up for ages, and then go to a tropical island. In Pilotwings Resort, you get to skip those boring parts and experience speeding, turning, and rolling high in the air right away! Woo!''
