Wuhu Island
Template:Articleabout Template:Location-infobox Wuhu Island is a large, tropical, tourist-filled island, inhabited by Miis that appears in some popular Nintendo games, including Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports Resort, and Pilotwings Resort. It also appears in Mario Kart 7.
Wuhu Town
Wuhu Town is the major settlement on the island, and is home to 20 or more office and residential buildings, a bowling alley, and a basketball court.
The town has a main square with a fountain, and two main roads leading out of the town. There is also a tall building on a grassy elevated area. The pier is where a boat normally docks, and is inaccessible.
Appearances in the Mario series
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 7 has two tracks the player rides on Wuhu. The tracks include Wuhu Loop (Wuhu Island Loop), which has the drivers race around the entire island and Maka Wuhu (Wuhu Mountain Loop), which has the drivers race around and inside Maka Wuhu, the volcano on the island. A Battle Stage, Wuhu Town, is also present, which allows the drivers to battle all around the town area of the island. However, it is not possible to drive over to the separate tiny village known as New Town. The Island Loop track takes place in the day, and the Maka Wuhu takes place in the evening, while Wuhu Town takes place at night.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Template:Newsubject-section Wuhu Island appears as both a stage in of itself and as part of the background of the Pilotwings stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
The Wuhu Island stage itself is a touring stage similar to Delfino Plaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The platform where players fight that travels around the island often stops at various locations on the island such as the starting line of the power-cruising race course, the mountain summit, the fountain in Wuhu Town, the suspension bridge, the sword-fighting arena, or a moving boat.[1]
In the Pilotwings stage, the yellow biplane on which the second part of the battle takes place flies around Wuhu Island. Rings from Pilotwings Resort (of which the setting is also Wuhu Island) are scattered all over the island, through which the plane flies before returning to the original Pilotwings area.
