With its release now just a short while away, we've seen almost all there is to see of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, aside from the inevitable surprises. Masahiro Sakurai is, nevertheless, taking the opportunity to reveal some new stages in his Miiverse posts, and this one looks particularly fun.
At first glance Wuhu Island looks like the Pilotwings course, starting out on a plane swooping around the island. As Sakurai-san shows, though, it rapidly evolves to take in the sights from Wii Sports Resort, from a variety of angles. We see brawlers on power cruisers, for example, while Zero Suit Samus and Shulk appear to be recreating a summer beach scene — a 'playful' couple gallivanting around — from a corny romantic movie.
Pic of the day. Here's a new stage, Wuhu Island. Flying around Wuhu Island may remind you of the Pilot Wings stage, but this time we tour famous locations on the island.
For example, here's the starting line of a power-cruising race. You may also find yourself at a mountain summit, in front of a fountain, on a suspension bridge, in a fighting arena, or riding on a boat. The stage really feels like a resort vacation.
I've been so busy with developing this game that I dreamed about tropical islands every time I saw this stage. …Beaches in the summer are great, aren't they?
It's evolving setup could be rather entertaining. Meanwhile, below are the game director's previous posts showing off the Yoshi's Woolly World stage, which we actually played and write about in our Super Smash Bros. preview.
Pic of the day. Here's something we didn't even announce in "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza"(“ Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50 Must-See Things”)--a stage from Yoshi's Woolly World. This stage was added and developed quite near the end of development. The surfaces are soft and cushiony.
The mobiles are placed in different locations depending on the situation, and they tilt according to weight distribution. The stage also gets rearranged, so the ground may disappear temporarily during a remodel.
Are you excited about these stages? Are there any particular settings you're looking forward to? Let us know.

Wow, those Wooly World stage pics look good, makes me want to have the actual game
@Pillowpants I agree wholeheartedly! Its also troubling that I thought: " Well, I'll probable need a Yoshi Amiibo then" .
We saw a new Duck Hunt stage i think for the first time in thr Duck Hunt trailer, but these we already seen before. Hopefully there's still some secrets
@JD1000 I ordered the Yoshi Amiibo already He's going to be my first one. I'll probably end up getting them all xD
@ThomasBW84 The caption for the Samus-Shulk screenshot is the same as with starting line one.
@Zyph Oops! Now fixed.
I don't care about SSB, but seeing this makes me want a new Wii U Pilotwings and Wave Race even more.
"Beaches in the summer are great, aren't they?"
Well yeah if you got Zero suit Samus with you
Levels look good. Also wanting Yoshi. And Sports Resort 2. Sports Club is good but I liked the open world feel of Wuhu Island. Would be a nice place for the amiibo to call home. They really do need a home world/game.
Think we're getting SSBU game Day 1 now due to the 8 player and I have 15 guests for T-day. So one less present under the Christmas tree for my kids to open. Nintendo Life is doing the Grinches work
Awesome can not wait
....Wave Race confirmed? Seriously I would cry if Nintendo brought back their old arcade style racers.
It would be cool if Nintendo revisited Wuhu Island in the form of Pilotwings U.
Beautiful
@rjejr
I'll take Zero Suit Shulk
I thought I saw a wave race course...
@DiscoGentleman @odin6786 - Lotta love for Shulk today He looks like he's getting ready for a bliztball match in those trunks. Though come to think of it he always looked like that. Man, 13 years...

@SuperWiiU I agree 100%. I would kill for a new Pilotwings that isn't a Wii Sports Resort spinoff or a new Wave Race and 1080.
@dkxcalibur I would love of they do that put but expand wuhu and have more islands sincey abosutr favorite things to do in PW is just to fly around for fun
Still looking awesome, can't wait to start enjoying these stages.
Wow , i just got wowed lol keep it coming til release and beyond ~
@DiscoGentleman - Feels like 3 years b/c it was the last FF game
X-2 was just kind of there, 11 was an MMO, 12 was a great Monster Hunter Lite game w/ a forgotten storyline, and the three 13 games never quite felt right. FFXV may make me buy a PS4 though. Fingers crossed.
