PilotWings

PilotWings is a Nintendo video game for the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, originally released in 1990, and included with the system in some early packages. A flight simulator game, PilotWings features lessons and goals in light plane, rocketbelt, hang glider, and skydiving, to which are added bonus stages (which like many secrets in 1990s vintage Nintendo titles, change your character's iconic representation to a cute cartoonish animal, in this case a penguin, albatross, and stork) and attack helicopter missions.

This game is particularly notable for its futuristic rock score by Koji Kondo of Zelda and Super Mario Brothers fame, with Sting-like reggae and experimental whole-tone scale influences. The score experienced some revival of attention in the international music community when Sir Paul McCartney expressed his admiration for Kondo in an interview, and when studies of several movements were published by internet commentators and musicians Matthew Dean and Michael Rich.
