The Wuhu Island stage is a touring stage similar to [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', specifically based on ''Wii Sports Resort''. 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 summit of Maka Wuhu, the fountain in Wuhu Town, the suspension bridge, the sword-fighting arena, a set of rocks out in the ocean, Talon Rock on the mountain, the beach, or a moving boat. Miis can be seen in the background in some areas, such as in the audience at the arena or playing Frisbee on the beach.

In the Pilotwings stage, the battle initially takes place on a red biplane flying over the third island from the original ''{{wp|Pilotwings}}'', but it goes on to drop the fighters onto a yellow plane that flies around Wuhu Island, referencing ''[[wikipedia:Pilotwings Resort|Pilotwings Resort]]''. It flies through rings around the island with Miis visible in the background using jet packs. Eventually, the fighters are dropped back onto the red biplane and the cycle restarts. Unlike the Wuhu Island stage, the Pilotwings stage never lands on the island, instead taking place solely on the planes with the island in the background.

Although the island has the same general appearance as in ''Wii Sports Resort'', the courses that take place on the island in ''Mario Kart 7'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' have several minor changes and differences, most of which are made to accommodate the racecourses' layout (apart from the addition of various course elements like ramps).
