'''Wuhu Island''' is a large, tropical, tourist-filled island, inhabited by [[Mii]]s that appears in some popular [[Nintendo]] games, including ''[[wikipedia:Wii Fit|Wii Fit]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Wii Fit Plus|Wii Fit Plus]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Wii Sports Resort|Wii Sports Resort]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Pilotwings Resort|Pilotwings Resort]]''. The island has also made crossover appearances into other series and games.
'''Wuhu Island''' is a large, tropical, tourist-filled island from various games of the [[miiwiki:Mii (franchise)|''Mii'' franchise]], notably ''[[miiwiki:Wii Sports Resort|Wii Sports Resort]]'', but the island has appeared a few times in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. The "Wuhu" part of the island's name is derived from the interjection "woo hoo".


Wuhu Island was originally known as '''Wiifity Island''' in ''Wii Fit''. It was later renamed in ''Wii Sports Resort''. The "Wuhu" part of the island's name is a pun on the interjection, "woo hoo".
[[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.

''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' includes two tracks featuring Wuhu Island. The tracks include [[Wuhu Loop]] (Wuhu Island Loop in PAL regions), which has the drivers race around the entire island and [[Maka Wuhu]] (Wuhu Mountain Loop in PAL regions), which has the drivers race around and inside Maka Wuhu, the volcano on the island. A [[Battle Mode|battle]] course, set on the island, [[3DS Wuhu Town|Wuhu Town]], is also present, which allows the drivers to battle all around the town area of the island. However, it is impossible to drive over to the separate tiny village known as New Town. The Island Loop track takes place in the day, Maka Wuhu takes place in the evening, and Wuhu Town takes place at night.
 
As of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu are the only race courses from ''Mario Kart 7'' that have yet to appear as classic courses in a later installment.

====Differences====
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 race courses' layout (apart from the addition of various course elements like ramps).


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.

*There is a path that leads to the Candle and jumps off the nearby cliff that is not present in the original.
*The formation of the road on the northern part of the island is slightly different, featuring more bendy turns.
*Upon exiting the Island Loop Tunnel 1, there are several blue shades seen attached to the mountain that were not present in the original.
*The player is able to access some Ancient Ruins underneath the rocky peak that they take place on, which was not in the original.

*The split path to the left of the Red Iron Bridge that leads to the Hilltop Overlook and Heartbreak Peak is absent.
''[[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 Maka Wuhu takes place in the evening, while Wuhu Town takes place at night.

*The Swaying Bridge is missing.
*The Footbridge is colored gray instead of red.
*There is now a path not seen in the original that goes under the Weathered Monument, and behind Summerstone Falls.
*The Heart of Maka Wuhu looks completely different. The rock walls inside are now a bleak gray instead of matching the brown pattern that the Maka Wuhu volcano has. The river underneath is now a bottomless chasm. The bridge that connects the gap is replaced by a dash ramp. The actual layout of the path is also different.
*A large rock structure between Duckling Lake and the cliff is removed.
*The Lone Cedar and the entrance into the volcano are completely removed, the former being replaced by a lone rock pillar.

*The stadium in Sugarsand Beach that appears at the end of the track only appears in ''Mario Kart 7''.


Wuhu Town returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as a retro battle stage. It now takes place in the day time.
=====Wuhu Town (''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version)=====
*Many background elements are missing, such as the Swaying Bridge, Summerstone Castle, and many of the trees in the Evergreen Grove.
*The buildings have been redesigned and have new roof colors.
*The Wishing Fountain has been replaced by a flower patch.
*The Candle now has a circular base at the bottom of the lighthouse, consequently giving the candle a slightly shorter appearance.

Wuhu Island appears as both a stage in of itself and as part of the [[Pilotwings]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.<ref>[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/07.html Fox's page]</ref>
Wuhu Island appears as both a [[stage]] of its own and as part of the [[Pilotwings]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.


The Wuhu Island stage itself is a touring stage similar to [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and is 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 yellow biplane on which the second part of the battle takes place flies around Wuhu Island. Rings from ''[[wikipedia:Pilotwings Resort|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.
In the Pilotwings stage, the battle initially takes place on a red biplane flying over the third island from the original ''[[nwiki:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]]'', but it goes on to drop the fighters onto a yellow plane that flies around Wuhu Island, referencing ''[[nwiki: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.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Wuhu Island and Pilotwings share their My Music library with each other, as well as with [[Summit]], [[Duck Hunt (stage)|Duck Hunt]], [[Hanenbow]], [[PictoChat 2]], [[Living Room]], [[Balloon Fight (stage)|Balloon Fight]], [[Tomodachi Life (stage)|Tomodachi Life]], [[Find Mii]], and [[Wrecking Crew (stage)|Wrecking Crew]]

Wuhu Island is a large, tropical, tourist-filled island from various games of the Mii franchise, notably Wii Sports Resort, but the island has appeared a few times in the Super Mario franchise. The "Wuhu" part of the island's name is derived from the interjection "woo hoo".

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.

History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Wuhu Town as a battle course in Mario Kart 7

Mario Kart 7 includes two tracks featuring Wuhu Island. The tracks include Wuhu Loop (Wuhu Island Loop in PAL regions), which has the drivers race around the entire island and Maka Wuhu (Wuhu Mountain Loop in PAL regions), which has the drivers race around and inside Maka Wuhu, the volcano on the island. A battle course, set on the island, Wuhu Town, is also present, which allows the drivers to battle all around the town area of the island. However, it is impossible to drive over to the separate tiny village known as New Town. The Island Loop track takes place in the day, Maka Wuhu takes place in the evening, and Wuhu Town takes place at night.

As of Mario Kart Tour, Wuhu Loop and Maka Wuhu are the only race courses from Mario Kart 7 that have yet to appear as classic courses in a later installment.

Wuhu Town returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a classic battle course, now set in the daytime.

Differences[edit]

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 race courses' layout (apart from the addition of various course elements like ramps).

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Wuhu Island appears as both a stage of its own and as part of the Pilotwings stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The Wuhu Island stage is a touring stage similar to 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 Pilotwings, but it goes on to drop the fighters onto a yellow plane that flies around Wuhu Island, referencing 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Wuhu Island and Pilotwings share their My Music library with each other, as well as with Summit, Duck Hunt, Hanenbow, PictoChat 2, Living Room, Balloon Fight, Tomodachi Life, Find Mii, and Wrecking Crew
