Not long after we heard confirmation that Sonic was set to enter the fight once again, Super Smash Bros. director Masohiro Sakurai has posted a new screenshot on the official website showcasing a brand new Sonic stage for the Wii U. For those who are already familiar with the newly released Nintendo exclusive Sonic Lost World, you’ll spot Windy Hill’s idyllic background – the first area from the title. A snippet in the Sonic reveal trailer briefly showed the new stage, but now we can cast our eyes over an official screenshot. The Windy Hill stage joins previously revealed stages such as Pilot Wings and Metroid: Other M. Sakurai’s keeping quiet on the details, however, but you can check out his message on Miiverse below.
“Sonic: Lost World is out in Japan today! The Windy Hill area can also be seen in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U…but I can’t tell you all the details yet!”
This was shown the day Sonic was revealed
this was confirmed the day they revealed sonic. you can see it in the old screenshots and also in the reveal trailer.
We saw a snippet in the trailer, yes, but this is an official confirmation and new screenshot from Sakurai.
thats fine, its just the words “showcasing a brand new Sonic stage” make it sound as if this is the first time we are seeing this stage that’s all.
Ah, I see your point. No worries. :)
s’long as it isn’t green hill zone, i’m good
this stage was shown in the trailer that revealed that sonic was in the game. you’re a tad late wouldn’t you say…
hehe, 3 people have now mentioned this :)
The Smash bros U version is just HD Remake nothing speical.
what the heck are you talking about…?
that blue failhog shouldnt even be in the game, why?? hes a fail and his games suck, he single handedly made brawl slow as fuck. well apparently thats nintendo’s goal now days, to fail.
Oh shut up…
yup he suuuuure did
you think this will be the worse stage in smash 4, yeah probably sonic and fail fit good together.
fix up your english then try trolling
oh what that latest great wii u exclusive that would help the wii u….. thats right sonics failed world. he should just live in the failed world. he can live there with epic micky, superman 64 and et.
@ iceazeama,
You talk about Nintendo like they’re your ex lover that you caught cheating on you. Nobody cares about your jilted love affair, man.
Told you, he never got an NES when he was a child. It’s a common case.
Well while we already kind of “knew” about the stage, I think the new thing to point out is Sonic’s punch has a new added affect! It gets the electric shield power-up that Sonic gets in his games!!… or at least, that’s what it looks like to me. 💋
I never even knew that Sonic WAS revealed to be in the new Smash Bros. games until reading this post. I must have missed a news post or something. I’ve been wondering about his inclusion.
I love seeing Sonic in Smash Bros. games (even though I hated choosing him in Brawl, because I didn’t care for his moves). There’s just SO much history between Sonic and Mario. I mean, back when SEGA and Nintendo were rival companies. I love how far things have come.
You didn’t know!? It was on every videogame news site (including this one) plus he was revealed in one of the Nintendo directs that showcased the “Good” Mario World trailer as well as the reveal of the new Kirby 3DS game.
I wasn’t a fan of Sonic’s moveset in Smash Bros Brawl either, but he is such an iconic character who fits right in with the rest of the characters. It wouldn’t feel like Smash Bros without Sonic. 💋

Nice man
Cant wait
sonic lost world is still a great game. deserves much more respect!
I would love to see a SSB stage use physics like in SLW or the Galaxy games. Imagine two planetoids that you can use the gravity to switch between the two. Being punched and the gravity of one planet pulls you down to it. Would be really cool IMHO.
I’m disappointed in the visuals for the Wii U version. The 3ds version looks great and seems like the hardware is being pushed but the Wii U version looks like brawl for Wii just more colorful, seems like they aren’t pushing the Wii U’s hardware at all.
WRONG!

It’s much more smoother looking than Brawl.
I don’t get it, why are they making such a big deal about this? We already knew the stage existed.
What about tails? Will he be playable ?
