Wuhu Island can be seen in the background of a ''[[wikipedia:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]]''-based stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. In screenshots taken during the development of the game, the yellow biplane on which the second part of the battle takes place can be seen flying towards Wuhu Island. Rings from ''[[wikipedia:Pilotwings Resort|Pilotwings Resort]]'' (of which the setting is also Wuhu Island) can also be seen scattered around, suggesting that the biplane may tour the island. The biplane flies over Wuhu Town as one of its touring points.

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]]''.

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.

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.
