Trivia

The working title of the game, in 1988, was "Dragonfly", when Nintendo showed images in many japanese magazines at the time. It was before the official release of the Super Famicom console (japanese SNES). When the game was released, the name was changed to Pilotwings, and the graphics and game structure was severally different the images showed before.
