'''Windy Hill Zone''' ({{ja|ウインディヒル|Uindi Hiru}}, ''Windy Hill'') is a stage in {{forwiiu}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The stage is set in the first Zone of ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Lost World}}'' of the same name.


==Overview==
==Stage overview==
The full layout of Windy Hill appears to have a main platform with curved hills with multiple platforms above. The platforms are made out of checkerboard pattern dirt with grass and other plants grown on them. There will also be a swinging platform of sorts as briefly seen in [[Sonic (SSB4)|Sonic]]'s trailer. There will also be a windmill with platforms connected to each blade on the very right side of the stage with a portion of the windmill going past the [[blast line]]. <ref>https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUgHsdjMwCg Sakurai's post on Miiverse</ref> Three Animal friends (Flicky, Ricky, and Rocky) from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' can be seen in the background.
Windy Hill Zone consists of a large main platform, with three smaller platforms above, and a giant moving windmill on the right. The windmill acts as a surface, with platforms connected to each blade, and a portion of the windmill goes past the [[blast line]]. The windmill's rotation and speed will also occasionally change during the match.
 
The main platform consists of a point-like center of gravity; so jumping or getting launched upwards from the edge will cause the character to move diagonally. As the match plays, 2 double-sided springs occasionally appear at both sides of the bottom blast lines. Players who come in contact with a spring will be pushed a distance. When they spin around, they can KO fighters on the bottom and side blast lines (and if a fighter is [[character customization|fast]] enough, the upper blast line). Seven Animal friends (Flicky, Pecky, Picky, Pocky, Cucky, Ricky, and Rocky) from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' can be seen in the background.
 
===Ω forms and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the [[Ω form]] is set on a completely flat version of the regular form's main platform, and the gravity is normal. Springs, soft platforms, the windmill, and the Animal Friends are also absent.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Ω form and [[Battlefield form]] are similar to the Ω form in ''SSB4''; however, the main platform is resized and reshaped to match {{SSBU|Final Destination}} and {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, respectively. The three [[soft platform]]s of the Battlefield form are made of wood logs that are unique to this form.

==Origin==
Windy Hill first appeared in the game ''Sonic Lost World''. Windy Hill is the first area in ''Sonic Lost World'' and is a lush grassy area full of plants and trees. It also contains checkerboard pattern soil, which is similar to how platforms were in the first Zone of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (1991), [[Green Hill Zone]]. The windmill from the level is also present.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the [[Battlefield form]] features three [[soft platform]]s that resemble the bridges made of logs that appear in Zone 2 of Windy Hill.
 
Springs first appeared in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and were either colored red or yellow. They were usually used to allow the player to access higher parts of the levels, or, if the spring is sideways, to make the player run faster. Springs have appeared in numerous ''Sonic'' games since, but the design was changed in ''Sonic Adventure'' and has remained the same since. The new design features the spring being red and blue with a yellow star in the center. This design, however, first originated in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' as the Bumpers in Spring Yard Zone were designed similarly. In this stage, there are springs on each side and their design is based off of their appearance in ''Sonic Lost World''; however, there were no springs that were back-to-back in Windy Hill.
 
The animal friends are recurring characters in the series, having first appeared in ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' (with the exception of Flicky, who first appeared as the protagonist in the arcade game ''Flicky''). They are used by Dr. Eggman, the series antagonist, as living power sources for his robots, and destroying one of these robots will free the animal inside. They also make an appearance in ''Sonic Lost World'' where they play the same role, but can additionally be collected to unlock new levels.

==Tournament legality==
This stage is banned from tournaments, due to its size, gravity effects, and the springs and windmill allowing for camping.
 
In ''Ultimate'', the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] are also banned due to the grass being dense enough to hide traps set by {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|Isabelle}}, and {{SSBU|Steve}}.

Windy Hill Zone (ウインディヒル, Windy Hill) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The stage is set in the first Zone of Sonic Lost World of the same name.

Stage overview[edit]

Windy Hill Zone consists of a large main platform, with three smaller platforms above, and a giant moving windmill on the right. The windmill acts as a surface, with platforms connected to each blade, and a portion of the windmill goes past the blast line. The windmill's rotation and speed will also occasionally change during the match.

The main platform consists of a point-like center of gravity; so jumping or getting launched upwards from the edge will cause the character to move diagonally. As the match plays, 2 double-sided springs occasionally appear at both sides of the bottom blast lines. Players who come in contact with a spring will be pushed a distance. When they spin around, they can KO fighters on the bottom and side blast lines (and if a fighter is fast enough, the upper blast line). Seven Animal friends (Flicky, Pecky, Picky, Pocky, Cucky, Ricky, and Rocky) from Sonic the Hedgehog can be seen in the background.

Ω forms and Battlefield form[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Ω form is set on a completely flat version of the regular form's main platform, and the gravity is normal. Springs, soft platforms, the windmill, and the Animal Friends are also absent.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Ω form and Battlefield form are similar to the Ω form in SSB4; however, the main platform is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination and Battlefield, respectively. The three soft platforms of the Battlefield form are made of wood logs that are unique to this form.

Origin[edit]

Windy Hill, as it originally appeared in Sonic Lost World.

Windy Hill first appeared in the game Sonic Lost World. Windy Hill is the first world in Sonic Lost World and is a lush grassy area full of plants and trees. It also contains checkerboard pattern soil, which is similar to how platforms were in the first Zone of Sonic the Hedgehog, Green Hill Zone. The windmill from the level is also present. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Battlefield form features three soft platforms that resemble the bridges made of logs that appear in Zone 2 of Windy Hill.

Springs first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog and were either colored red or yellow. They were usually used to allow the player to access higher parts of the levels, or, if the spring is sideways, to make the player run faster. Springs have appeared in numerous Sonic games since, but the design was changed in Sonic Adventure and has remained the same since. The new design features the spring being red and blue with a yellow star in the center. This design, however, first originated in Sonic the Hedgehog as the Bumpers in Spring Yard Zone were designed similarly. In this stage, there are springs on each side and their design is based off of their appearance in Sonic Lost World; however, there were no springs that were back-to-back in Windy Hill.

The animal friends are recurring characters in the series, having first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog (with the exception of Flicky, who first appeared as the protagonist in the arcade game Flicky). They are used by Dr. Eggman, the series antagonist, as living power sources for his robots, and destroying one of these robots will free the animal inside. They also make an appearance in Sonic Lost World where they play the same role, but can additionally be collected to unlock new levels.

Tournament legality[edit]

This stage is banned from tournaments, due to its size, gravity effects, and the springs and windmill allowing for camping.

In Ultimate, the Ω form and Battlefield form are also banned due to the grass being dense enough to hide traps set by Snake, Isabelle, and Steve.

Trivia[edit]

  • Characters can be Star and Screen KO'd diagonally on both this stage and Mario Galaxy.
  • Under extreme circumstances, it is possible to abuse the curved gravity of the stage to stay airborne indefinitely. For example, if Jigglypuff is equipped with two thistle/floaty jump badges and the gravity is set to light, then by pushing against the side walls of the stage, Jigglypuff will move upwards until the control stick is returned to the neutral position or it grabs the ledge.
  • In Ultimate, Marshadow cannot be summoned from a Poké Ball on this stage.
