About Pilotwings 64
With this magnificent flight sim/action game from Nintendo, soar into the wide blue yonder! Pick one of six aviators, then complete tasks that become harder and harder to earn your wings: Beginner’s Class, Class A, Class B, and eventually Pilot Class. You must pass 24 examinations in order to get your Pilot Class wings.
The Gyrocopter, Rocket Belt, and Hang Glider are some of the first vehicles. When you get a license, you may unlock four additional games if you do well. Jump high in Jumble Hopper, parachute in Sky Diving, and become a bird with wings in Birdman. As a human cannonball, you may even attempt to strike a far-off bull’s eye! You’ll need to perfect takeoffs, landings, and maintaining altitude in order to earn your wings. Keep strict track of your fuel, altitude, and wind conditions while you are in the air.
You’ll need to take hard detours and return home photographic documentation in order to get advanced licenses. For instance, you must fly through a winding canyon and direct a rocket ball that is bouncing down a steep slope in order to get the Pilot Class license for the rocket belt. You’ll have to fight against updrafts, clouds, and blizzards to earn your wings. Action enthusiasts may fire a few rockets at the robot Mecha Hawk as it terrorizes Little States Island. The action takes place both on Crescent Island’s hot jungles and off Everfrost Island’s frozen floes. Famous American monuments like Mount Rushmore, the Statue of Liberty, and the Grand Canyon may all be found on Little States Island.
Hot air balloons, spouting whales, smoke rising from an oil refinery, and a soaring space shuttle are just a few of the moving objects that the N64’s processors add to the lush backgrounds. Additionally, the game’s excellent transparency effects give the impression that you are flying directly through clouds.
