Appearances

In New Horizons

Wilbur is a pilot for Dodo Airlines in New Horizons, taking the player on island tours and to visit other towns via the Airport. He often speaks in an apparently incomprehensible jargon related to pilots, including the common phrase "Roger!" This includes referring to the player as "bellbottom bebop", "bellbottom folk", and "trainwreck blueberry pie" and himself as "stovetop rubber band" "stovetop saltshaker" and "tango boxing is go". He will ask the player if they "wanna bust bunson burners and bounce back to Fruittown (e.g. Orangetown)?" or "punt pontoons and fly Soaring Lily here back to Town" amongst other colloquialism. He also uses the NATO Phonetic Alphabet with modifications to keep the game family-friendly, changing the word for "W" from Whiskey to Whisker. Upon arrival at an island he says, "Alright, we are two down and docked at the target island. Delta Oscar Delta Oscar is go (Dodo is go)." And when leaving the island, saying "Roger! Lifting off November Oscar Whisker (lifting off now)." He maintains a very militaristic and precise relationship with Orville, the ground control to ensure all flights run smoothly. Upon arrival at a deserted island, Wilbur will sell the player certain tools for Nook Miles.
