==People, Companies, Music, etc.==
Hello, the wiki Executive Board and I propose that we begin making articles for People and Companies involved in the ''Kid Icarus'' franchise, and improve on the ones we already have. We also propose that we begin working on creating music articles, if everyone could help out or give their opinions on what other articles we should begin working on, please speak up :) --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 15:14, 26 February 2012 (MST)
:Nintendo and HAL Laboratory are given as they made the Kid Icarus series and Smash Bros. Series respectively, but should we have an article about the Factor 5 rumors? They area listed as having a cancelled flight project for the Wii, and the ''older Pit'' concept art looks really similar to Magna's appearance. -[[User:RedTroopa|RedTroopa]] 15:50, 26 February 2012 (MST)
::Probably not, since we don't speculate around here. TOSE did a lot of work on Of Myths and Monsters I believe. We have the page for Nintendo, but it could use some work. --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 15:56, 26 February 2012 (MST)
:::Understood, and I believe for the first game, Satoru Okada was the director, Gunpei Yokoi was producer, Yoshio Sakamoto was a major designer after he finished Metroid, and Hirokazu Tanaka composed the music. -[[User:RedTroopa|RedTroopa]] 16:13, 26 February 2012 (MST)

Hmm, I'm not sure about music articles. I made all of the music articles on SmashWiki, and that was fairly easy, as you could explain where everything originates, where it played in Smash Bros., how to unlock it etc. But with Kid Icarus, you've not got much to say, just "Dark Pit's Theme plays whenever Dark Pit appears in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''", with a small section on the track's composers. A general tracklist style page could work, but nothing more. [[User:ToastUltimatum|'''Toast''']][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|'''Ultimatum''']] 19:14, 27 February 2012 (MST)

: Create a general tracklist for each of the games (or other media). Any notable or famous songs (should they exist) can then be given their own independent articles. [[User:Maxite|Maxite]] 10:53, 28 February 2012 (MST)
::Just a note for anyone that plans to make a music-based article, the word song should not be used when describing music tracks. Wiktionary defines ''song'' as "''A short musical composition with lyrics for voice or voices, performed by singing.''" Intrumental tracks are not songs, so just call them tracks, music pieces, compositions or arrangements. Many Wikis feature this mistake beyond a state of repair, I don't want that to happen to Icaruspedia.

Figma?
there are Japanese licensed figures coming out of Pit and Dark pit in April. I think there should be articles for these figures, as they have already released a Link and Samus Aran. thoughts? {{unsigned|Crystal ahvokki|22:58, 19 March 2013‎}}

==StreetPass Mii Plaza==
Should the ''StreetPass Mii Plaza'' software for Nintendo 3DS have an article on here? One major part of the ''StreetPass Mii Plaza'' is ''Puzzle Swap'', where StreetPassing can get you one of a certain amount of Puzzle Pieces to complete an image, which starts to animate in 3D once completed. One puzzle was recently released that is based upon ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Is this notable enough? because I'm happy to make the article.

==Uprising: Lightning Battle==
Hello. I am currently working on the Lightning Battle article for Uprising. Since many users are currently playing through the game and are most likely up to this level, I would like to know if anyone else is currently working on this page so no one's work goes to waste because someone posted first. Thanks! [[User:Darkstarblaze|Darkstarblaze]] 19:50, 1 April 2012 (MDT)
Hey there! I just finished that level today, so I wouldn't mind helping you out! Just ask, Im no good at images, but I'm pretty handy with text once you give me the layout. :)

I could try helping although I'm a really new but I can provide a lot of specific details like enemy patterns and attack patterns
, rooms, boss, and tweak some epilouges. But remember I'm really really new. Images, making links, and even making the Giant words with the line below I'm still trying to figure out. Forgive me. GBAer May 15 2012 19:15

== Hello from the Strategy Wiki ==
Hello. I'm an editor on the Strategy Wiki, another member of the NIWA. I was wondering if I could use things like information and images from this wiki to improve our guide to Kid Icarus: Uprising. The guide is [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Kid_Icarus:_Uprising here] if you're interested. Thanks for your consideration!--[[User:Salnax|Salnax]] 21:14, 14 April 2012 (MDT)

==Polls==
Can users suggest new polls yet? My suggestion is: "Which weapon category is your favorite so far in Kid Icarus: Uprising?"

GBAer says: I suggest a favorite or most annoying, easiest, or funniest, epic-est, most serious character or boss. Then again that might be too many answers so maybe it should be categorized by god or warrior and boss.

==Where are all the admins?==
Icaruspedia is suffering from a terrible spambot attack, and the only admin I've seen doing anything is Anothrgamer1234.

Dear All,

I have already suggested this, but it seems to have been ignored. I urge this wiki to maintain a simple but yet effective idea. '''''Autoconfirmed Users''''' is what this wiki needs. The Mariowiki already uses this, so just refer to them if you're new to the term. Of my year and a half spent with them, I never came across a spambot. I am no tech geek, but is creating this process so hard? I am not questioning anyone, but a reply would be nice to receive...

==Dismissable Sitenotice==
Our [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] is frankly huge, so it ought to be dismissable, but for that to be possible, we would need to install this [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DismissableSiteNotice]. I'd do this myself, but unfortunately, only users with root access to the wiki can install it, so I'll have to leave it in their hands. Whenever someone can install this, that would be great.

==AR Cards==
:These pages, such as [[Medusa, Queen of the Underworld (AR Card)|Medusa (AR Card)]] should be merged into articles based on certain categories. The three main armies (Forces of Nature, Underworld, and Palutena's Army) should be subdivided by minor and major characters (Bosses/Deities; Enemies; Centurions) while the lesser important three (Space Pirates, Chaos Kin, Unaffiliated) could remain in one page. Items and powers could have a single page. Weapons should be divided by weapon class. For now there are not enough pages to do so, but I think this is an important addition for the future; the pages we have now are stubs.

If we want to keep the light blue scheme for the templates and [[Mediawiki:Sitenotice|Sitenotice]], we need to change the color of the links.

== New Affiliation ==

Dear All,

since the Metroid series is considered the "sister" series of Kid Icarus, I propose an affiliation with the Metroid Wiki. It is only fitting, especially since we are friends with other (irrelevant) Wikis such as Wikisimpsons. So in the name of the [[Komayto]], I say we do it :-D

== Templates ==

Recently I have dealt a lot with templates; mainly "Missing Image", "Stub" and "Incomplete". While Missing Image looks rather fine and tidy, the "Stub" notice could be narrowed a bit. Does it need to be that big ?? And the "Incomplete" is a total mess. Everything is shifted right and it has no proper border. If you ask me, ''THAT'' is incomplete and not the article it represents. To be honest, all Templates should be made as small as possible in my opinion. They make articles look uglier than they already would look. One good system which I've noticed and adopted is placing the templates at the bottom. This is a good idea and if we could all stick to it, these templates might become a little less annoying. I still hope they get fixed though...

==American Spelling==
I've decided that all articles use American spelling to keep it consistent if that's okay with you guys. I've seen articles that use both European and American spellings, but I think we should stick to one. —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 13:27, 12 August 2012 (MDT)

==Symbols for all Articles==
IceBlue has recently taken the initiative of adding the Forces of Nature symbol and likewise to all articles in need of it. This is a great idea, but how about we add it to ALL articles slowly slowly. Commanders etc. is great, but we might as well put the building symbol near buildings and the the unaffiliated symbol near the Fighters and so on. Even the AR Cards should have them. I know it's a massive project but we might as well start it off. What do you think, [[User:JORDAN DEBONO|JORDAN DEBONO]] 01:20, 14 August 2012 (MDT)

:Weird, I've been thinking something similar to this yesterday while browsing other NIWA wikis. Anyways, I really like it! Thanks IceBlue. But, where are we gonna find all the symbols? —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 15:18, 15 August 2012 (MDT)

==Disable the New user message bot==
I think we should disable said bot because having it send the message to a spambot only clogs up [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] even further, and even with users who need a welcome message, it still doesn't look neat. We can instead do what SmashWiki do any only send a welcome message to users who have made a contribution to the wiki. This would be better anyway, because it gives the new users a specific member to consult. [[User:ToastUltimatum|'''Toast''']] [[File:Wii U U.png|17px|link=Special:Contributions/ToastUltimatum]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|'''ltimatum''']][[File:Swadloon.png|26px]] 04:36, 14 August 2012 (MDT)

:Well the recent changes is becoming a joke now, thanks to all the Spambots so disabling it wouldn't be a bad idea. But instead of finding alternative paths to solve this problem, why don't we just stop the Spambots altogether. ToastUltimatum, you are the most experienced member who continuously contributes. I suggest you fill in the coding our friend IceBlue was good enough to receive from some fellow SmashWiki editors regarding the Autoconfirmed users. He asked Starphoria to do it; he never replied since. If Autocomfirming doesn't work, then we might as well disable the bot. Hope you agree, [[User:JORDAN DEBONO|JORDAN DEBONO]] 05:24, 15 August 2012 (MDT)

:::::Not exactly the best solution there, but it'll have to do for now.

==Desperate Measures==
There are too many spambots for us to block normally at this point- we need to find a way to deal with them permanently. Until then, I propose that we disable user registration entirely until the problem can be resolved. I know that it's a risky decision, but if we don't do that the spambots will just keep coming until they overwhelm us. (If we actually do this, it might be wise to edit the main template so it explains the situation better to legitimate users of the website.)--[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] 09:58, 16 August 2012 (MDT)
:I think that's a bit much. One thing we can do is make users have to click a link in a confirmation email like F-Zero Wiki recently installed, and then the spambots won't be able to make userpages. If there was then a way to hide the user creation log from Recent Changes, that would aid us even further, though nobody I know believes such a possibility exists.

::Disabling user making is definitely too much, but email confirmation definitely sounds like the right direction.—[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 15:17, 16 August 2012 (MDT)
::Keeping the user creation log in recent changes might actually be fairly useful- I've found it rather easy to block spambots before they begin spamming just by looking at the usernames of newly created users.

::::When is the soonest time we can get the e-mail confirmation implemented? I checked the block log and realized that we've blocked nearly a thousand spambots- this is becoming an outright emergency that we have to deal with at once.

::::::It appears that we won't be able to put the lockdown into effect just yet- apparently, RicketyTrigger doesn't have the authority to do it. Maxite installed MediaWiki onto the site, so we should try to contact him as soon as possible so we can stop the endless horde of spambots. By the way, do we have an alternative method if we aren't able to get in touch with Maxite? I'm trying to block all the bots that I can, but more and more of them are getting through now. At this rate, we may need to get a new site. EDIT: We could try restricting the right to create pages to users of Patroller level or above; as the spambots don't edit existing pages, that should effectively neutralize them for now. I also found MediaWiki's manual about how to restrict access to wiki services that might come in handy. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_account_creation (Sorry, I can't seem to remember the correct formatting.) I'm also asking for help from the other NIWA wikis- if worst comes to worst and we can't get in contact with Maxite, we could grant one of their administrators temporary bureaucrat rights long enough to implement e-mail confirmation and autoconfirmation. It might be a drastic measure, but it's no more extreme than locking down the entire wiki indefinitely.--[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] 22:46, 21 August 2012 (MDT)
:::::::I'm not sure if making someone a bureaucrat temporaily would fix this problem. I remember asking Starphoria on Skype awhile back to help fix the spam problem but he simply told me to ask Maxite about it (I left a message on Maxite's Skype so he can see it whenever he logs on it soon). —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 01:35, 22 August 2012 (MDT)
::::::::Very well; we'll just have to hope he logs on soon, because it looks like he's the only one who can fix this mess; unfortunately, it's been so long since he was last on that I'm beginning to think he might have become completely inactive. I don't think that's the case, but if it is we'll need to find a new Technical Director. At any rate, it looks like we'll need to implement a CAPTCHA alongside the e-mail confirmation, as some spambots are able to circumvent the latter by supplying a legitimate "throwaway" e-mail address and confirming their accounts from there. There was a thread on the NIWA forums that had a solution for that, so we should use that as well. (Incidentally, my request for help on the NIWA forums has not been answered yet, but hopefully a response will come eventually.) Until then, we'll have to keep doing as much as we can.--[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] 17:29, 22 August 2012 (MDT)

==NIWA Check in request==
Hello, I'm dkpat from Golden Sun Universe/NIWA. I recently made a thread on the NIWA forums that requests that an admin from each wiki "check-in" and give an update on their wiki activity. I would appreciate it if someone from Icaruspedia could check in. Thank you. [http://www.niwanetwork.org/forums/index.php?topic=1274.0 Link] [[User:Dkpat|Dkpat]] 11:04, 25 October 2012 (MDT)

==The Perfect Solution to the Spam==
Courtesy of dkpat, I have stumbled across an installation that will shut up the spambots for good. It's called Asirra, and what it does is change the wiki's confirmation question to one involving recognising images. In the case of Asirra, it's "click the images of cats", when there are also images of dogs. Spambots have a much harder time figuring this out, and it's completely solved the spam problem on Golden Sun Universe and F-Zero Wiki. So it sounds like installing this will be useful, right?

The link to its MediaWiki page is here: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#Asirra]

I'm also still looking for Special:WebChat to be installed, the link to that, once again, is this: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WebChat]

Finally, there's this thing IceBlue wanted, I'm not sure why we need it, but no harm in downloading it if we have time: [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/RandomSelection]

::Class "wikitable" is defined somewhere in the wiki's css, which only admins can edit. Changing it there will affect all tables on the wiki using that class. Do you want to modify that or should I add the css to each individual weapon stats table? - [[User:Kirbman|Kirbman]] 09:21, 28 January 2013 (MST)
::I think I'll make templates for the damage tables so we can automatically get the proper rows and columns. That way I can set the background color once per table type, and we can even get the — for inapplicable fields for free. - [[User:Kirbman|Kirbman]] 10:05, 28 January 2013 (MST)
::Nevermind about the templates. There are too many differences between weapons, so I tried individual rows instead of whole tables, but it didn't make the code clean or short enough to justify using row templates. - [[User:Kirbman|Kirbman]] 15:33, 29 January 2013 (MST)

== Strategy ==
Hi, does anybody think we should start a strategy page? I know it would be some project, being that we would need strategy on all the weapons, but it could be interesting and useful.- Viperblade

==Priorities==
Hey everyone, well, that is, if there is anyone on this site anymore. Anyways, if there are any frequent editors left here, I apologize for my absence, but the good news is I will likely be active again next week as school draws to a close. As we know the new SSB game has been revealed today (I started a little bit on it), and there are a still a ton of Uprising stuff that has yet to be complete. The weapon stats, locations, AR cards, and items are still not finished, and some articles are very low quality. I also noticed our wiki is really lacking pictures/artwork/screenshots. So it would be very nice to have people add more high quality images on numerous articles if they can. I think we really need some priorities set up here. So I nicely ask if certain could possibly focus on heightening the quality and completing certain parts of the wiki. I would really like to see the items and locations part to be complete as soon as possible. So, anyone alive here, please lend a helping hand. I don't want this site to go to waste.

==A Little Bit About Me==
I don't really like to talk about myself a lot. However I'm quite the avid gamer, and enjoys many kind of video games, but I enjoy ones made by Nintendo the most. I've visited other NIWA wikis to find information I need or simply for my amusement (cause I always find interesting facts and theories on wikis). Icaruspedia is the first wiki I've contributed to, and so far it's been an enjoyable experience.

'''Pit''' (ピット ''Pitto'') is the protagonist and eponymous character of the ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus series]]'', first appearing in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 (1986 on the Famicom), followed by an appearance in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'' for the Game Boy in 1991. Other than a handful of cameos, Pit did not appear again until the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', seventeen years after ''Of Myths and Monsters'', in which he was one of the starter characters.

Pit is [[Palutena]]'s most loyal servant, as well as the captain of her royal bodyguards. He is sometimes erroneously referred to as "Kid Icarus" in reference to the English title of the series. Pit is always armed with his trusty [[Bow]] and [[Arrow of Strength|arrows]] and prefers ranged combat, though he has demonstrated a fair amount of melee capability.

==Characteristics==
===Physical Appearance===
In earlier games, Pit appeared as a young, cherubic angel wearing a simple, white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs. He has short brown hair, and small white wings that are incapable of flight. In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' and beyond, he dons a gold laurel crown. Since his reappearance in ''Brawl'', he was given a major redesign by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Pit now looks to be around 13 years old (in human years)<ref>http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/</ref>, and has large blue eyes and many tufts in his hair. His chiton remains white, now decorated with red and gold hems on the bottom. It is fastened on the shoulder by a single gold pin with a ruby-like gem embedded on it. He wears the outfit with a brown belt with silver edges and a gold, triangular buckle on his waist. Pit also appears to wear navy blue tights beneath his chiton. The angel now has a pair of bronze and gold cuffs on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm, and another gold ring on his right thigh. Pit's sandals are brown and decorated with crossing, beige bands. The top edges of his shoes have what appears to be white fur or wool.

===Personality===
Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic. He is generally very upbeat no matter what the situation (although he can be genuinely serious when needed), which certain characters, including both foe and ally, can find it a nuisance. Pit frequently banters, cracks jokes, makes outrageous puns, and constantly breaks the fourth wall. Pit also deeply cares about the human race and is willing to do anything to keep them safe. His loyalty to Palutena is matched by no other, and he always addresses her as "Lady Palutena". Pit even states the main reason he fights in the first place is because of her. Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. He also has a large appetite and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from. He is also a devout lover of hot springs, which Palutena (and once, Viridi) will occasionally conjure up for him. Pit is shown to strongly follow the "angel's code of conduct" to the point he even refuses to remove his clothes when entering water. However, the truth behind this is because the angel is frugal and wants to save on laundry.

Due to his young age, Pit is gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not very bright either. Pit is illiterate and has trouble understanding complex vocabulary used by Palutena. Some characters even sarcastically insult his intelligence, and his inability to detect sarcasm makes things easier for others (Ironically enough, Pit can sometimes make sarcastic statements himself). Pit can become oversensitive, especially when someone brings up the topic regarding his inability to fly, or when someone insults his goddess. He can even be slightly narcissistic at times, believing he is an attractive-looking person. According to Palutena, Pit embarrasses easily, and Pit himself admits he gets stage fright.

===Abilities===
Despite Pit being a flightless angel, he is still a skilled and versatile fighter. He originally started out as an archer that mainly specialized in using the Bow, but over the years he has become more experienced with using various weapons like the [[Blade]], [[Claws]], [[Cannon]], etc. Even though Pit has a childish appearance, he seems to possess great physical strength, and is capable of utilizing massive weapons like the [[Arm]] or [[Club]]. The angel has also learned to use impressive abilities and magic known as [[Powers]] which are granted by Palutena.

==Appearances==
===''[[Kid Icarus]]''===
At the beginning of the first game, Pit began as a young angel boy, trapped in the [[Underworld]]. Palutena, the Goddess of Light, had been imprisoned, so she entrusted Pit with a magical [[Bow]] and the duty of gathering the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], defeating the Dark Goddess [[Medusa]] and saving [[Angel Land]]. Pit must journey through the Underworld, [[Overworld]], [[Skyworld]], and finally, the [[Palace in the Sky]] in order to gather the Three Sacred Treasures and free Palutena.
----
===''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''===
[[Image:KI Myths and Monsters.gif|right|131px|thumb|Pit as he appears in ''Of Myths and Monsters''.]]
In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters,'' Pit is charged with training for the defense of Angel Land, after Palutena foresees an invasion of demons led by a monster called [[Orcos]]. The training involves the Three Sacred Treasures, which Pit must unite. However, because of a dire emergency, Palutena had entrusted the Three Sacred Treasures to the fortress guardians. To prevent Orcos's invasion, Pit must once again obtain the Three Sacred Treasures.
----
===''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''===
A return to the series as the flagship title for the [[nwiki:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]]. Twenty-five years after the first game (referencing the real-life gap between the NES classic and ''Uprising''), Medusa is revived by her minions. A now-teenage Pit is tasked with defeating Medusa and her army of monsters by Palutena, who gives Pit the [[Power of Flight]], which allows him to fly for five minutes before his wings burn up. This allows him to get between the various areas where he fights the army on the ground. Along the way, he'll not only use the Bow to fight his foes, but will also gather a large new repertoire of weapons with both long and short-ranged capabilities, showing off a few new tricks.

====Single Player====
[[File:250px-Pit Uprising.png|thumb|Pit as he appears in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.]]
{{Spoiler}}
Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signaling Medusa's return. At Palutena's request, Pit leaves Skyworld using the Power of Flight and heads to [[That First Town]], where he finds that the humans haven't lost hope and are cheering the return of the Goddess of Light. Pit fights through the town and defeats [[Twinbellows]], then confronts Medusa and tells her that "her days of darkness are numbered," and he would defeat her. Pit then heads off to [[Dark Lord Gaol's Castle]] to aid the humans in their battles against the Underworld Army and meets [[Magnus]], a powerful human fighter whom he teams up with to defeat [[Gaol]], but later finds that Gaol was actually a human woman. However, before he could learn more, Palutena extracts him from battle.

Later, Medusa sends the Underworld Army straight to Skyworld, likely in retaliation for Gaol's defeat, and Pit heads out to defeat [[Hewdraw]] in [[That Burning Town]]. Then, Palutena sends Pit to the [[Reaper Fortress]] to disable the obscurity the [[Reaper]]s were using to hide [[Pandora]], the Goddess of Calamity. While there, he runs into the dreaded [[Eggplant Wizard]], lamenting that he "[doesn't] want to be an eggplant again." He then explains to Palutena that he visited the hospital so many times in his last adventure to defeat Medusa that they named it after him- "The hosPITal. Get it?" Palutena ignores the joke and he continues on to defeat the [[Great Reaper]], thus completing his mission.

Having found Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit, Palutena sends Pit there next but both encounter mind-boggling troubles within the Labyrinth, and Pit remarks that "the name is the only straight thing about this place." Once he reaches his destination, Pit fights through and Palutena explains that he's looking for the [[Mirror of Truth]], an object that creates a copy of the true thoughts and feelings of whomever looks into it, and that Medusa and Pandora are using it to duplicate the monsters of the Underworld Army. Pit reaches Pandora and defeats her once, and she shows him the Mirror of Truth, which he immediately launches himself toward to break. However, just as he does, the Mirror casts a reflection of him and creates [[Dark Pit]] to Pit's shock and confusion. Pandora states that Dark Pit would be "[Pit's] escort out of this life," but Dark Pit hits her and teams up with Pit to defeat her. However, as soon as she falls, Dark Pit delivers a vicious kick to Pit's stomach and knocks him back, explaining that it was "for ripping off [his] look." Pit argues that he was the original, but Dark Pit ignores him and dives through Pandora's remnants, gaining an ability of his own to fly indefinitely, and he leaves before Pit can pursue him. Palutena tracks Dark Pit down and sends Pit after him, fearing that he may be allied with the Underworld Army, but an exchange between Dark Pit and Medusa reveals that he has no intentions of aligning himself with her. Pit pursues him through the air to a location of ruins and battles him several times before Dark Pit finally retreats, claiming that he "was going easy on [Pit]."

Palutena and Pit return to the focus of defeating Medusa and he heads for the [[Seafloor Palace]], meeting [[Poseidon]] along the way before he enters the Palace to defeat [[Thanatos]], the God of Death, who has in his possession the [[Underworld Key]], a gem of sorts that allows the owner to travel into the Underworld. Pit defeats him and claims the Underworld Key, but learns from Palutena that he'll need the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] to challenge Medusa along with the fact that said Treasures were stolen by the [[Space Pirates]]. Pit goes to retrieve them before the Underworld Army can, defeating the Pirates and a [[Space Kraken]].

Pit then dons the Three Sacred Treasures and heads to the Underworld, fighting through both her usual minions and monsters crafted to resemble Twinbellows, Hewdraw Reborn, and Pandora, before finally challenging her to a three-part battle. Pit defeats her and returns to Skyworld, believing his battle is over, but [[Hades]], the Lord of the Underworld reveals himself as the mastermind behind Medusa's resurrection and the invasion of the Underworld. Pit changes targets to Hades and heads to a [[Phoenix Mountain|volcanic area]] to fight off the Underworld's forces, only to find that Hades was after something called the [[Wish Seed]], an object that the [[Phoenix]] was guarding. Pit remarks that his wish would be "to fly on [his] own," and he goes to defeat the Phoenix, despite learning that the Wish Seed was a fake, sparking a beacon to the humans that the Phoenix had been beaten. Hades uses the beacon as an opportunity to alert the humans that the Wish Seed had been stolen, leading to a great war between them for the chance to get it.

Pit embarks to survey the damage and see if he can't find a way to stop the chaotic fighting, but is quickly cut off by the actions of [[Viridi]], the Goddess of Nature and the leader of the [[Forces of Nature]], who sends a [[Reset Bomb]] to wipe out the warring humans due to their reckless behavior and the ways they destroy the earth. Pit enters the area affected by the Reset Bomb to find it covered in dense vegetation. He frees the few human survivors and tracks down [[Cragalanche]], a rocky member of Viridi's Forces of Nature. Pit defeats it and returns to Skyworld. Viridi's actions begin a third side of the war between the Underworld and Skyworld: Palutena and Pit trying to protect the humans, Viridi attempting to save any living thing but the humans, and Hades and his destructive ways of wiping just about everything out.

Pit goes to the [[Reset Bomb Depot]] to put a stop to Viridi's production of her ultimate weapons, and despite her avid protests and sending of her Forces of Nature to get in his way, he destroys the Depot. Later, he heads to the [[Lunar Sanctum]] to challenge [[Arlon]], one of Viridi's high-ranking followers, only to be ambushed by Dark Pit while there. Pit triumphs over both adversaries and effectively blows up the Lunar Sanctum, unknowingly freeing a creature known as the [[Chaos Kin]]. Pit then heads to defeat [[Phosphora]], another of Viridi's loyal followers, putting a large dent in Viridi's tactics.

However, before they can do anything else, Hades, Viridi, and Palutena find that their world is under attack by a mysterious race of nothingness known as the [[Aurum]], and Palutena sends Pit to deal with the threat before they destroy everything. The three sides make a temporary alliance to stop the Aurum. Pit, with a little help from [[Pyrrhon]], self-proclaimed Sun God, destroys the Aurum fleet. However, Pyrrhon betrays them and fuses with the [[Aurum Brain]], leading to Pit being unable to destroy it and ends up losing the Power of Flight before his wings could burn. Pit regrets having never learned to read, but is saved by the Forces of Nature and the [[Centurion]]s. He makes his way back to the Aurum Brain and destroys it, causing an end to the Aurum invasion.

Unfortunately, before he can celebrate, Pit finds himself having been turned into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring of sorts]]. However, a little [[girl]] comes across the ring and put it on, causing Pit to take control of her. He finds that a nearby human town is under attack and sees the Centurions among the chaos, then decides to investigate to the regret of putting the girl in danger. However, the girl trips and falls, losing the ring, and it is picked up by a dog. Pit, using the dog, hurries to the town and finds that his body is a part of the battle, much to his confusion. He then finds Magnus once again, who takes the ring and inspects it, but drops it to Pit's disappointment. Pit calls out, begging Magnus to pick the ring up, and Magnus eventually returns and puts it on. The two then find that Pit has taken control of Magnus's body and they can communicate due to the connection, and Magnus explains that three years had gone by since they fought Dark Lord Gaol. Palutena had apparently disappeared for a time, and later returned with her army to fight against the humans. Pit can barely believe what he heard, and uses Magnus's body to recover [[Pit's Body|his own]].

Shortly later, Viridi retrieves him and sends him to Skyworld, where he discovers that his home had been ruined by the continuous attacks caused by the Underworld. Palutena tells him that she was sick of dealing with the ungrateful humans and Pit believes that something else was pulling her strings. She responds, telling him that the only puppet there was him. Pit then retreats to Viridi for the time being and then goes to obtain the [[Lightning Chariot]], hoping to use it to break through the barrier surrounding Palutena's temple. After battling its [[Chariot Master|former master]], Pit successfully takes it and breaks into the temple, finding that Palutena had been possessed by the Chaos Kin. Pit removes it and frees her, only to find that the Chaos Kin had stolen her spirit and disappeared within the [[Chaos Vortex]]. Dark Pit shows up, claiming that the two needed to rescue Palutena's spirit as quickly as possible.

Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex to pursue the Chaos Kin and eventually tracks it down, only to have it disappear for a time and trap him within an endurance battle between him and itself. Dark Pit shows up later to help him through it, and the two defeat the Chaos Kin. However, as Pit is checking on Palutena, the remnants of the Chaos Kin capture Dark Pit and send him off the edge of the platform the three were on. Without a second thought, Pit jumps after him and begs Viridi to let him fly. Viridi refuses, telling him that it would just cause his wings to catch fire. Pit replies that he doesn't care, realizing that the Chaos Kin was only going to destroy Dark Pit, and Viridi reluctantly gives him the Power of Flight once again. Pit catches Dark Pit and Viridi sends them back to the platform where Palutena waits, and they find that Pit's wings had been nearly burned off, leaving them in ruin. Palutena cradles his unconscious body, lamenting the state of her captain and remembering his former wish- to fly on his own.

In payment for saving his life, Dark Pit heads to the [[City of Souls]] and the [[Rewind Spring]] in order to restore Pit's wings, only to find along the way that Hades had been using souls not only to craft his army, but also as a meal. Dark Pit continues on and reaches the Spring, where he battles a resurrected Pandora. After defeating her, Palutena sends Pit to him and he dips the unconscious angel's wings into the Spring, ultimately healing him. Pit revives and Dark Pit hurries off the platform, only to find that he lost his ability to fly and Viridi saves him from falling. Pit returns to Skyworld, ready to fight.

Pit dons the Three Sacred Treasures once again and heads out to confront Hades, but Hades ends up destroying the Treasures a short time into the fight and ultimately eats the angel. Pit fights his way though Hades's bowels until he comes across the god's heart, which he then defeats. Once the battle is over, Dark Pit saves him using the Lightning Chariot and Palutena retrieves them both before Hades can attack again. Hades admits that the attack had hurt, but triumphantly points out that "at least [he's] not dead."

Having lost the Three Sacred Treasures, Palutena sends Pit to the smith who created them in the first place, [[Dyntos]], the God of the Forge. Once there, Dyntos challenges Pit to pass three trials, involving Pit's proving himself by defeating recreations of former bosses along with the new weapon itself. Pit triumphs and claims the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], a robotic weapon that he mans from the inside. Pit uses it to head out and confront Hades once again, and manages to weaken the Lord of the Underworld significantly. Unfortunately, Hades all but destroys the Great Sacred Treasure and prepares an attack that will ultimately end Pit, but a revived Medusa shows up and stops him before he destroys her. Palutena instructs Pit to take the cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure and focuses her power on charging it as Viridi gives Pit the Power of Flight. Once the charge is complete, Pit fires it and defeats Hades, bringing the threat of the Underworld to an end.

Pit then flies over the nearby land to check on its state, reflecting on the battle. While he is doing so, Dark Pit joins him, also using the Power of Flight, and Pit heads to follow him toward the horizon before flying off on his own higher into the heavens as the credits roll.

====Multiplayer====
Pit is also playable in [[Together Mode]], but only in ''Light vs Dark''. He will appear when the last [[Fighter]] on the [[Light Team]] is defeated when the life gauge depletes.

===[[Kid Icarus 3D Anime]]===
Pit makes an appearances in all three animated shorts, however he plays the role of the protagonist in ''[[Thanatos Rising]]''. In this feature, he battles [[Thanatos]] and his Underworld forces to prevent them from attacking a human town using a stolen Trojan Horse. In ''[[Medusa's Revenge]]'', a small bit about Pit's back story 25 years ago is shown, and later his confrontation with [[Medusa]] in ''Uprising''. In ''[[Palutena's Revolting Dinner]]'', Pit is tasked to bring tomatoes for Palutena's "vegetable surprise", but a problem caused by his goddess later forces him to fight a group of sentient vegetable monsters.

==''Super Smash Bros.'' Series==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' ===
[[File:Pit's_profile_pic.jpg|thumb|Pit as he appeared in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Pit is a playable in character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and is available at the start of the game.

His Special Attacks, other than his Side Special, are based off of the Three Sacred Treasures. His bow is called the "[[Bow|Sacred Bow of Palutena]]".<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pit.html</ref> This bow is his symbol and has the added feature of being able to split into dual swords, a trait that would carry on to its appearance in ''Uprising'' and a dual functionality that would come to permeate all of the weapons in Pit's arsenal in that game. He uses both swords and bow for his Aerial, Standard and Smash Attacks, changing the weapon between three different forms to attack. His Down Special is the [[Mirror Shield]], which is used to reflect projectiles and protect Pit from attack from the front. It can be angled upward slightly. His Up Special is the Wings of Icarus, which allows him to fly freely for a short time.

After obtaining the power of the [[smashwiki:Smash Ball|Smash Ball]], Pit can use his Final Smash, Palutena's Army, to call upon a swarm of [[Centurion]]s to attack his opponents.

Pit is one of three characters possessing wings, so he is capable of gliding. The other two are [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]] and [[bulbapedia:Charizard|Charizard]].

This is also the first game in which Pit has a voice. In the Japanese version, he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Minami Takayama|Minami Takayama]], while in the English version he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Lani Minella|Lani Minella]].

There is a stage called ''Skyworld'' which is based off of [[Skyworld]] in the original games. On this stage, there are breakable platforms held up by clouds. In the background, there is a temple and a statue of Palutena. Four pieces of music from ''Kid Icarus'' can be played the stage.

Due to his fast projectile, which is controllable after release, can cover a great distance in a short time, and can easily be used multiple times in quick succession. His superior recovery, his multiple projectile-reflecting moves, and his multi-hit attacks, which include, but are not limited to, his Neutral Air attack and Forward Special, Pit is sometimes accused of being cheap or simply too easy to use effectively in matches. Without many good moves to KO with and the inability to use the [[Wings of Icarus]] again if hit in midair during the duration of the move until he lands, he is kept from a higher spot on the tier list: He currently ranks at 18th out of 38 characters on the tier list, but has held higher spots in the past.
[[File:PitColorSceme.jpg|center|1000px|thumb|Pit's various costume changes]]
====Role in the Subspace Emissary====
In the ''[[smashwiki:Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]'', Pit is first seen watching [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] and [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]] battling on a stadium through a [[Reflecting Pool]] in Skyworld. When he sees the stadium get engulfed by Subspace, Palutena appears and sends him to defeat the Subspace army, giving him his bow. Pit soon meets Mario, who was knocked out of the stadium by [[mariowiki:Petey Pirahna|Petey Piranha]], the act of which turned him into a trophy before he landed in the Sea of Clouds near Skyworld. Pit and Mario quickly team up and set out to defeat the Subspace army. They eventually form a larger party of fighters with [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]], [[mariowiki:Yoshi|Yoshi]] and Kirby, which joins up with other characters later in the story.

Eventually, all the characters, with the exception of [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]], [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] and [[wikirby:King_Dedede|King Dedede]] (and [[smashwiki:Sonic|Sonic]], who only appears at the end, as well as [[bulbapedia:Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]], [[zeldawiki:Link|Toon Link]], and [[lylatwiki:Wolf|Wolf]], the three of whom are absent from the storyline altogether) join up and invade the Subspace, only to get turned into trophies by [[smashwiki:Tabuu|Tabuu]]. However, he and most of the others are rescued by King Dedede, Luigi and Ness, who had been absent in the invasion. Pit takes part in the final battle against Tabuu with all the other characters.

''Pit's Final Smash. An image of the goddess Palutena appears, heralding [[File:Palutenas_army.jpg|thumb]]the arrival of Pit's legions, the Centurions. These flying warriors proceed to attack all enemies with fierce savagery. Once a Centurion strikes an enemy, he falls from the sky, never to fly again. Centurions are so fast that dodging them is very hard. Take heart, Centurions! Your deaths are not in vain!''

===''Super Smash Bros.'' (Wii U/3DS)===
Pit has been confirmed to return in the latest instalment of the popular series. His slightly updated appearance and new moves are inspired as seen in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''.

==Other Appearances==
===''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''===
[[Image:CapNKidIcarus.jpg|170px|thumb|right|Pit, known as "Kid Icarus" in ''Captain N''.]]
Pit appeared as one of the main characters in the cartoon, ''[[wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]]''. Here, he was referred to as "Kid Icarus" and, after initial suspicion, became Kevin's loyal sidekick next to Duke. He was voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0432228/ Alessandro Juniali]. Pit is drawn with a comically larger head (with a massive cowlick) in comparison to the rest of his body and is constantly in flight, as though he already possessed the [[Wings of Pegasus]]. He has a tendency to append the catchphrase "-icus" to words (and sometimes maximus for large things) and speaks as a young teenager just hitting puberty. No longer satisfied with normally deadly arrows, Pit has a large selection of different projectiles in his quiver with a large variety of functions, and he always seems to have the right one for the job (ranging from saw-bladed arrows to pizza arrows); sometimes, however, he pulls the wrong arrow and simply must make do with whatever he drew. One episode was centered on the plot of ''Kid Icarus'', with the team trying to collect the Three Treasures. Kid Icarus came from the "Mount Icarus" realm.

===''Tetris''===
[[Image:Tetris Pit.gif|right]]
Pit appeared in the official Nintendo version of ''[[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'', as an instrument player alongside [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran|Samus]] of [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'']] fame and several of Nintendo's other characters. In this appearance, he was depicted playing a violin or viola in the ending. This may be a pun on his choice of weapon, as the tool used for playing a stringed instrument is also called a bow.

==Trivia==
[[File:Kid Icarus best ending.png|thumb|Adult Pit in the best ending of ''Kid Icarus''. '''Note:''' This scene was added only in the English localization.]]
*There are not any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the cherubic [[wikipedia:Eros|Eros]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Cupid|Cupid]] in Roman mythology), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows. In popular culture, Eros/Cupid is often depicted as having arrowheads shaped and colored like hearts due to his love motif, and some of Pit's art and his trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' depict his arrowheads as looking like hearts.
**Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid. There is evidence to this as seen in the Japanese version of ''Uprising'' as shown in Chapter 11, Viridi mentions that Pit's name (which is ピット ''Pitto'' in Japan) is unoriginal because he resembles Cupid (キューピット ''Kyūpitto'').
*Pit also draws inspiration from [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]], the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off. This alludes to the story of Icarus, whose wax-and-feather wings allowed him to fly, but, caught up in the moment, he disobeyed his father, Daedalus, and flew too close to the sun, causing the wax holding the wings together to fall off, causing him to plummet to his death. A similar allusion is made in ''Uprising'', when Palutena notes that the Power of Flight can only sustain Pit for five minutes before his wings burn up, causing him to fall, and he must reach his destination before that happens.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Pit appears as a trophy, with the words "Will he ever fight again?" imprinted on it, which would be a foreshadowing of his eventual inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*A romantic interest between [[Palutena]] and Pit was implied in the best ending in the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]''. While this is not touched upon as much in ''Uprising'', she and Pit are shown to be incredibly close and Palutena is quite protective of him. However, it should be noted that this ending was not in the original Japanese version of ''Kid Icarus'', and was only in the English version.
*Pit has a tendency to break through the fourth wall a lot, referencing other Nintendo franchises and situations, such as when he points out that [[Komayto]]s "look like little Metroids" or saying that he and Twinbellows are going to "rack up some serious Nintendogs trainer points together."

Chariot Master

}}
The '''Chariot Master''' (戦車の主 ''Sensha no Omo'', '''The Main Tank''') is a major character introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' that only appears during ''[[The Lightning Chariot]]''. He is a legendary and powerful warrior that lives in a very tall tower located high in the night sky. As his name suggests, the Chariot Master is the owner of the [[Lightning Chariot]], which is pulled by his two precious steeds, Phos and Lux.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
The Chariot Master is a human-like figure covered in a ghostly blue fire and an indistinguishable face. The blue fire that surrounds his body is actually his own burning soul due to his great valor as a soldier. He wears tattered pieces of armor including a helmet with broken horns, a shoulder plate, tunic, boots, and gloves. He also appears to have surprisingly long blonde hair.
===Personality===
The Chariot Master is a no-nonsense warrior of great honor and bravery. This has allowed his soul to keep burning even though his actual physical body decayed long ago. The Chariot Master seems to have little patience for most people that enter his tower, especially if they intrude rudely. However, if the warrior sees someone worthy to fight against, he will gladly accept the challenge.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
[[Pit]] first meets the warrior at his tower in [[The Lightning Chariot|Chapter 19]], but the angel is initially regarded as a simple intruder. However, as he makes his way up the dangerous tower, the Chariot Master begins to recognize him as a worthy opponent and eventually challenges him to a battle by splitting the Lightning Chariot in half. They proceed to both race across a track in the separate carriages, while the warrior himself uses electricity and a sword to fight with. During this time, it is revealed that the Chariot Master understands Pit's desire to rescue [[Palutena]] as he once served a master as well. After years of battle, he had found himself alone after losing his companions and master in war, with only his steeds to keep him company. A truly honorable warrior, the Chariot Master will give the Lightning Chariot to Pit when defeated, and tells him to take good care of Phos and Lux and the future of the realm as he peacefully passes away.

===Idol Description===
''Master of the Lightning Chariot. Long ago, he fought in wars of the gods. His body may be ruined, but by walking the soldier's path in death, the master's soul still burns. He fights Pit to determine if the angel is worthy of the chariot.''

RicketyTrigger:

{{cquote|''Sorry to keep YOU waiting. But now that I'm here, let's get this party started!''|quotecite= Hades revealing himself in [[Chapter 9]].}}
{{CharacterBox

|jpname= ハデス
|jptrans= Hadesu

}}
'''Hades''' (ハデス Hadesu) is the unexpected main antagonist of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He is the god and master of the [[Underworld]], and is responsible for [[Medusa]]'s revival, which originally set the events of the game in motion. Medusa was revived as a distraction against [[Pit]] while Hades was busy gathering souls of the human race in order to store them within his realm. He accomplished this by using lies to turn different nations against each other, causing war to break out.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Hades appears as a humanoid demon-like deity with purple skin and a red tattoo on his eyes. He has long red, green, and pink-colored hair. He wears very grotesquely designed robes and clothing with asymmetrical shapes and a cape seemingly made out of darkness and fire. He has red lines that run up both his arms and legs. The inside of his body is completely chaotic in design, with even skies, grind rails and surreal structures found commonly throughout.

===Personality===
Hades is a being of pure evil, whose arrogance and power makes him brush off any matter as nothing important, often acting carefree and speaking in a playfully dull tone that is filled with sarcasm and cruelty. He has no regard for life and views souls simply as mindless play things for him to manipulate with no sympathy, using them as his puppets and manipulating their memories, hearts and forms to suit his own needs, not caring at all about their existence, even eating them for fun despite how much damage this causes to the balance. His view on the cycle of life is even more skewed and twisted, seeing no difference between consuming a soul and their rebirth and casting the balance aside like nothing. Despite all his malicious tendencies, he does have a genuine sense of humor and enjoys telling jokes and making puns at even the most odd or inappropriate of times. He also held no grudge against Pit after the later killed him and destroyed his body, and even complimented his abilities, albeit still throwing a few nasty remarks in his direction.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
{{spoiler}}
Hades first appears at the end of [[Medusa's Final Battle|Chapter 9]], where he interrupts the game's credits sequence after the defeat of Medusa to reveal his master plan. He states that it what him who revived Medusa, partly because of her hatred towards Palutena.

In [[The Wish Seed|Chapter 10]], it is revealed that Hades created the legend of the [[Wish Seed]] in order to make humans fight amongst each other which led [[Viridi]], the goddess of nature, to destroy them for their hubris. This was all part of his plan to collect the souls of all the countless human soldiers lost in battle. This soon leads him into conflict with the [[Forces of Nature]] and [[Palutena's Army]].

In [[Mysterious Invaders|Chapter 15]], the Underworld forces and Viridi's Forces of Nature have to work together in order to destroy the [[Aurum]] fleet, but after this threat has passed, Palutena's Army and the Forces of Nature return to fighting against Hades's forces and each other.

In [[Chapter 19]], Hades hints out that it was him who captured Pit's soul in the [[Ring of Chaos|ring]]. His reasoning for doing so are still unknown, but is likely that he got help from the [[Chaos Kin]] to do so.

In [[Scorched Feathers|Chapter 22]], Hades is revealed to be using the souls of the humans he captures in order to replicate underworld monsters. This in and of itself is thought of as bad, but it is later revealed that it takes many hundreds of souls to create a single monster, wasting them entirely. This is seen as a disturbance in the balance and something that must be corrected.

In [[Lord of the Underworld|Chapter 23]], Pit, armed with the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] finally confronts Hades, but Hades easily destroys the Three Sacred Treasures with a single blast of his "raunchy breath" and ends up swallowing Pit whole. According to the idol description of Hades' Belly, Pit is actually transported to another realm and is not really inside of Hades. Pit struggles to escape Hades' twisted insides and soon manages to destroy [[Heart of Hades|Hades' heart]] in an explosion, allowing [[Dark Pit]] to see Pit's location and rescue him with the [[Lightning Chariot]]. However Hades remains unfazed despite his heart's destruction.

Pit later confronts him in [[The War's End|Chapter 25]] with the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], battling and pursuing Hades using it to destroy various guns that cover Hades's body. The Great Sacred Treasure changes forms as it is damaged, it's third form cuts Hades in half but he simply respawns his lower half and continues to fight Pit. Eventually he manages to destroy the Great Sacred Treasure as well. As Hades charges up his most powerful attack, Palutena tells Pit that a force (a.k.a. Medusa) is seeking Hades and Pit must guide this force. As Hades is about to release his attack, Medusa suddenly appears and distracts him with a blindsiding blow.

All that remains of the Great Sacred Treasure is a single cannon which Pit mounts on his arm. Viridi grants Pit the [[Power of Flight]], letting him dodge energy beams from the god, while Palutena charges the gun with holy energy. When the gun reaches its maximum charge, Pit fires the canon, unleashing a devastating blast which destroys Hades once and for all, bringing peace once more to [[Angel Land]] and all its inhabitants.

While seemingly destroyed, if the player waits five minutes past the ending credits he reveals that his soul is still very much intact and begins to compliment Pit on his skill and power, and seems to be somewhat proud of him. He then begins to make comical empty threats which is usual of his joking nature. The god claims that his condition is quite bad and might not be able to resurrect himself. He begins to whine about missing his body and all the women who will miss his godly physique as well. Despite the loss of his body, Hades hopes to figure out a way to resurrect himself in the next twenty-five years (when he assumes the next sequel will be released) and get his revenge, but until then he gives Pit a few tips and to prove he's not a sore loser, unlocks a special [[Boss Battles|challenge]] for him. He then gives a few parting words to the player and announces that ''Kid Icarus Uprising'' is his new favorite game before signing out.

===Idol Descriptions===
====Hades====
''The true master of the Underworld. He is immeasurably strong, even among the divine pantheon, but prefers to rule from the shadows, forcing Medusa to do his dirty work. Yet even with all this evil, Hades still manages to act nonchalant.''
====Hades (Battle)====
''Hades, prepared for the final battle. Covered with missiles, his body is quite literally a weapon of mass destruction. Only Hades's selfish protection of the Underworld's bottom line keeps him from going all out on Pit.''
====Hades (New Legs)====
''After being cut in half by the Great Sacred Treasure, Hades heads to the surface world to regenerate his legs. Because this trick uses an immense number of souls, the usually invincible Hades suffers damage in the process.''
====Hades (Final)====
''Mere moments after having his head crushed by Medusa, Hades returns with a new, fresh complexion. While he attacks Pit with a renewed ferocity, it still isn't enough to withstand the assault of the Great Sacred Treasure.''

==Trivia==
*Hades was assumed to be the most powerful of the gods, but in [[The Three Trials|Chapter 24]], it was hinted that [[Dyntos|Lord Dyntos]] was more powerful because he could create an army that would be stronger than the [[Underworld Army]]. This was never actually proven in the chapter though. However, the in-game idol information states that the fact that Dyntos is able to "put [[Palutena]] to sleep miles away...is evidence that Dyntos's power exceeds even that of Hades."
*Hades has appeared in many Greek myths and legends as [[Poseidon]] and [[Zeus]]'s brother. Although Poseidon was in the game, he mentioned nothing about Hades, so there is no way to see if this applies to the game.

}}'''''Kid Icarus: Uprising''''', known in Japan as '''''New Light Myth: Palutena's Mirror''''' (新・光神話　パルテナの鏡 ''Shin Hikari Shinwa Parutena no Kagami''), is a long awaited revival of the Kid Icarus series to be published by [[Nintendo]]. It was officially announced at E3 2010 as a new ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus]]'' that would come out for the new Nintendo 3DS. It has taken a re-imagined 3D design of [[Pit]] and the enemies of the [[Kid Icarus|original NES game]], though Pit and [[Palutena]] themselves are based off their ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' appearances. Their character models are slightly downgraded from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' due to the hardware limitation, but even so, the game's appearance is considered above-average for the [[mariowiki:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]].

[[Project Sora]] was the developer of the game, with [[Masahiro Sakurai]] as the lead designer. The game was released on March 23, 2012 in North America and Europe.

==Story==
{{spoiler}}

''Uprising'' is a direct sequel to the classic NES game, and takes place 25 years after the original ''Kid Icarus''. The overall plot is actually split into two main story arcs, the first of which features the battle against [[Medusa]] and her returning minions, while the second chronicles the threat of the gods, [[Hades]] and [[Viridi]] against the human race. In the first story arc, Medusa has been revived, and once again attempts to eradicate the mortals while seeking revenge from Pit and Palutena. In hearing this news, Palutena summons her most loyal servant, Pit, to stop Medusa and her Underworld Army, and restore peace to [[Angel Land]] once more.<ref>http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/explore-the-game/#story</ref> Along the way, Pit must battle all of the classic enemies and bosses that have returned from the original game. During the latter half of the story, Pit will encounter many new characters and enemies in the greatly expanded ''Kid Icarus'' universe, including the true main antagonist, Hades. The story mode is also divided into 25 separate chapters that each represent a stage:

Chapter 1: [[The Return of Palutena|''The Return of Palutena'']]

Chapter 2: [[Magnus and the Dark Lord|''Magnus and the Dark Lord'']]

Chapter 3: [[Heads of the Hewdraw|''Heads of the Hewdraw'']]

Chapter 4: [[The Reaper's Line of Sight|''The Reaper's Line of Sight'']]

Chapter 6: ''[[Dark Pit (Chapter)|Dark Pit]]''

Chapter 7: ''[[The Seafloor Palace (chapter)|The Seafloor Palace]]''

Chapter 8: ''[[The Space-Pirate Ship]]''

Chapter 21: ''[[The Chaos Vortex]]''

Chapter 22: ''[[Scorched Feathers]]''

Chapter 23: ''[[Lord of the Underworld]]''

Chapter 24: ''[[The Three Trials]]''

Chapter 25: ''[[The War's End]]''

Bonus Chapter: ''[[Boss Battles]]''

==Gameplay Modes==
The game is a shoot'em up based as the Air Battles play like a guided shooter and the Land Battles play like a third-person shooter. Pit retains the [[Bow|twin blade]] from ''Brawl'', but his selection of weaponry has expanded greatly this time around. ''Uprising'' has three primary modes of play:

===Single Player (Solo Mode)===
The single player mode is where the main game and its story will take place. Each chapter of the story is divided into three sections:

====Air Battle====
In this game, Pit is granted the [[Power of Flight]] from Palutena, giving him the ability to fly for a limited amount of time. The areas where this ability is used resemble a free-aiming flight mode as seen in titles such as ''Panzer Dragoon'' and ''Omega Boost'', where Pit can fly in one direction and aim in another, reminiscent of the [[Palace in the Sky]] in the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]''. But as the trailer states, Pit can only maintain flight for five minutes at a time; after that, Pit's wings will burn up and he will fall.

====Land Battle====
Land Battles allow Pit to roam freely, and he can alternate easily between melee and ranged combat depending on how close he is to an enemy. In this mode, Pit is also able to perform fast dodges and run very fast while shooting. He can also utilize various [[Powers]] to defend himself or combat foes more effectively. The land sections will make up the largest parts of the game.
====Boss Battles====
'''Note: This is not to be confused with the Bonus Chapter with the same [[Boss Battles|name]].'''
 
At the end of every chapter, Pit will face off with a boss character. These range from fighting massive monsters such as [[Twinbellows]], to battling other major characters like [[Dark Lord Gaol]], to encountering recurring villains such as [[Dark Pit]]. In some cases, such as with [[Hewdraw]], a portion of the boss fights might take place during the flying sections in addition to the land sections.

===Multiplayer (Together Mode)===
A [[Multiplayer Mode]] has been confirmed for the game, featuring Pit, Dark Pit, and the [[Fighter]]s as playable characters. It is a team death-match type of game, pitting [[Light Team]] and [[Dark Team]] against each other in battle. There is also a Free-for-All mode. This feature supports both local and online play.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/02/22/icarus-multiplayer.aspx</ref>

===[[Idol|Idol Toss]]===
Idol Toss is a feature similar to the [[smashwiki:Trophies|Trophies]] in ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. "Idols" are 3D models of characters, weapons, and items that can be viewed by the player. Each Idol also comes with a fun and informative, little description. During the Idol Toss, the player can launch an egg and shoot it, causing an Idol to hatch. Eggs can be obtained by playing the main story, or purchasing them by using the 3DS's Play Coins. Users can also gain more Idols by playing the [[AR Battle Mode]] by scanning other AR cards.

===AR Battles===
The game features an expansive [[AR Battle Mode]], allowing players to see all characters, enemies, items, weapons, and locations using AR cards and the Nintendo 3DS's dual cameras. With this mode, battles can be waged with different Idols, each of which have their own stats and health bars.

===[[Fiend's Cauldron]]===
[[File:cauldron_artwork.png|200px|thumb|right|Artwork of the Fiend's Cauldron]]
The Fiend's Cauldron is the game's unique and innovative difficulty setter. This particular item can be filled with [[Heart]]s, allowing players to increase the difficulty of the game by adding more enemies to attack as well as making them stronger. The Cauldron uses a scale of 0.0-9.0, with 2.0 considered as the standard. Players can increase or decrease the difficulty by 0.1 increments, making it a total of ninety-one difficulty levels. Increased levels also reward players with more hearts, weapons, and items.<ref>http://kidicarus.nintendo.com/uprising/explore-the-game/stages.html#fiends-cauldron</ref> However, if a player were to die many times, the Cauldron will lower the settings, but it will also increase the difficulty if the player does exceptionally well. There are also special areas during Land Battles that can be accessed through an [[Intensity Gate]], but these only open to those that have their difficulty set on a particular level. These Gates contain more powerful enemies and rarer treasures.<ref>http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/01/kid-icarus-uprising-preview/</ref> There is also an easter egg where if you were to repeatedly tap the Fiend's Cauldron it would become angry at you and turn away eventually.

*'''0.0'''- ''Effortless''
*'''1.0'''- ''Easy''
*'''2.0'''- ''Standard''
*'''3.0'''- ''Tougher''
*'''4.0'''- ''Challenging''

*'''6.0'''- ''Extra Spicy''
*'''7.0'''- ''Infernal''
*'''8.0'''- ''White Hot''
*'''9.0'''- ''Nothing Harder!''

===Spotpass and Streetpass===
For the Streetpass feature, players will be able to send gems of weapons to other ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' owners. These gems contain information about a specific weapon that other players can purchase for themselves at the [[Arm's Altar]]. For the Spotpass feature, individuals can download a new weapon gem that is distributed daily online for a limited amount of time. The Mii that gave them gem to you is named Palutena. The Mii has no statistics for the game.

===Items===
Multiple Items have been revealed during gameplay videos and in trailers. [[Heart]]s will make a return as items dropped by downed monsters. [[Treasure Box]]es have also been seen containing items such as [[Food]], [[Grenade]]s, and [[Drink of the Gods|Drinks of the Gods]].

===Weapons===
Pit is seen using the same bow as he was in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in both twin-blade and bow mode. In addition to the bow, Pit gains a very large arsenal of powerful weapons that can be chosen from before each stage. Every weapon has close and long range attacks and charged and rapid fire attacks. Individual weapons also have different values and bonuses. Players can find more powerful weapons by playing the single player mode on higher difficulties using the Fiend's Cauldron. In addition, each weapon has a special power attack that can clear the screen of most enemies, although they can only be used during flight. These attacks are represented by a number of blue orbs at the bottom left of the touchscreen. The weapon categories are as follows:
*[[Bow]] - Pit's original weapon that can split into two blades.
*[[Blade]] - A plasma gun with a sword that extends from the front.
*[[Claws]] - A pair of claws that work best at close range.
*[[Orbitars]] - Two floating satellite weapons that excel at long range combat.
*[[Arm]] - A bulky claw-like device that fits over the user's arm.
*[[Palm]] - A glowing rune that harnesses powerful energy.
*[[Cannon]] - A bulky bazooka that launches explosive rounds.
*[[Staff]] - A powerful rod that can utilize magic attacks.
*[[Club]] - A massive weapon that can deflect enemy projectiles.

====Weapon Fusing====
Players can also fuse two different weapons to bring over specific characteristics to another weapon. Gems can also be fused for the same purpose. The chart on the right is a simple reference to which types of weapons create what. The specific weapon then decides on which type of of weapon is fused with what. Attributes like melee and ranged strengths and weapon perks also decides on what the fused weapons had to offer. They carry on their traits to the newly made one.

===[[Powers]]===
Powers are new abilities that Pit can utilize in battle. They can have different effects when used, ranging from unleashing powerful attacks to recovering Pit's health.

===Vehicles===
In addition to these weapons and powers, Pit will also be able to control armed vehicles in battle and for transportation. There are three vehicles that include the speedy [[Exo Tank]], a futuristic robo-suit called the [[Cherubot]], and a vehicle resembling a gyro-sphere called the [[Aether Ring]].

The War's End

''[[The War's End]]'' is the twenty-fifth and final chapter in the storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It's an exclusively aerial stage, entirely composed of the final battle against [[Hades]] and includes the true credits sequence upon defeating the mighty god. The overall final battle is split into five distinct parts.
==Final Boss Battle==

=== Part 1 ===
At the start of the chapter, [[Pit]] activates the [[Great Sacred Treasure]] and flies through the [[Underworld]] to seek Hades, with both [[Palutena]] and [[Viridi]] watching the battle with great anticipation. After effortlessly eliminating hordes of Underworld troops with the powerful Sacred Treasure, Hades jumps out of the ground and the battle begins. Although he executes many powerful attacks, the Great Sacred Treasure will automatically assist in dodging these moves, while Pit's focus is on the idividual projectiles he launches with his cape and hands. Hades eventually spawns a nearly unavoidable twister by spinning rapidly, before quickly sprinting after the angel while unleashing more projectile attacks. After beating Hades, he will attempt to crush Pit with his foot, only to miss and launch himself back towards the [[Overworld]] thereafter. The Great Sacred Treasure proceeds to transform into Pursuit Mode and gives chase.

=== Part 2 ===
After Pit catches up to Hades, the Underworld leader will introduce his "devastation ensemble" of laser turrets that appear all over his legs, which must be destroyed. The battle then moves to his cape, where he spawns more turrets that resemble his "lovely visage". Hades' main weakpoint here is the purple circular object at the top of his cape, which must be shot at to cause him any more harm. Upon damaging this object enough, Hades will turn around and launch a barrage of lasers at Pit, causing damage to the Great Sacred Treasure as it transforms into its Mech Armor Mode. The battle then moves to the god's upper body.

=== Part 3 ===
During this part, more laser turrets appear on Hades that must be shot at and destroyed. He will then summon a portal on his hand that causes a force of suction while he fires blue shots from his eyes. After destroying this portal, he will repeat the same attack with his other hand, which must be dealt with in the same way. The battle then moves to his chest, where more turrets appear that shoot lasers at Pit. Hades' weakpoint here is the gash that Dark Pit left behind when he rescued Pit with the [[Lightning Chariot]] during [[Lord of the Underworld|Chapter 23]]. The yellow shield defending this weakness must be destroyed before the gash itself can be attacked. Upon causing enough damage to this area, Hades will quickly grab Pit and attempt to drill his armor off. Before he could do so, however, the top portion of the Sacred Treasure detaches from the rest of its body and slices Hades in half with a giant plasma sword. The Great Sacred Treasure then changes into Ultralight Mode. They both make it to the Overworld and land near a town, where Hades regenerates his legs, much to Pit's surprise.

=== Part 4 ===
For this part, Palutena warns Pit that the blue projectiles launched by Hades must be shot at, while Viridi tells him to avoid attacking the smaller purple projectiles (as they will cause unavoidable damge if hit). In addition to these attacks, the Underworld god will occasionally unleash a barrage of energy shields, one of which is usually red and launches fire-based projectiles that home in on Pit. Hades' new weakpoint is the gem located just above his regenerated legs, which must be shot at while avoiding all of his other dangerous attacks. Once he is defeated, Pit attempts to deliver the finishing blow, but Hades disappears before he can reach him. He then reappears and quickly smashes the Great Sacred Treasure between his palms. Now completely defenseless, Pit begins falling back down to the surface world and must be controlled to land on the target reticle below him.

The angel will land on the ground as Hades prepares his most powerful attack just for him. During this time, Palutena senses a powerful force seeking Hades, and instructs Pit to keep the aiming reticle on the god by continuously sliding it towards him. If successful, this will reveal a revived [[Medusa]] as the force, who defends Pit from Hades' attack by decapitating him. Claiming that she has grown annoyed with Hades constantly reviving her to use as his puppet, Medusa attempts to attack a second time, only to be quickly destroyed by him once again after regenerating his head.

=== Part 5 ===
Shocked at this turn of events, Pit grabs the main cannon from the remnants of the Great Sacred Treasure while Viridi grants him the [[Power of Flight]] once again.
This final part consists of Pit avoiding two continuous laser attacks from Hades' hands, as well as one that occasionally launches from his head that follows the angel. During this time, he must wait for the cannon to fully charge before he can launch the finishing blow on Hades. Upon doing so, the powerful blast from the weapon will obliterate the Underworld lord once and for all.

== Epilogue ==
With Hades finally defeated, the people of the nearby town begin to celebrate as Pit flies above the area in victory. Before he can enjoy his moment, however, Viridi interrupts and states that they're back to the real problem, humans. She says that it's true that Palutena says that humans are the closest, she can be real sap sometimes, and asks Pit why he cares so much about that. Pit explains to Viridi that humans are the only living creatures with faith and devotion, meaning that only humans believe in gods, and respect gods. Viridi states that Pit is not a god, and asks him if he's saying that only believers deserve protection. Palutena tells Viridi to let Pit enjoy his moment in the sun, and that he saved everyone, not just humans. Viridi then asks if the only point of faith and devotion is getting greedy wishes granted by the gods. Pit tells her that that's one way of looking at it, before he is distracted by Dark Pit flying alongside him, having been granted the Power of Flight by Palutena. Viridi tells Pit to pay attention to her, and asks Palutena if she's learned anything. Palutena says that it's true that humans are selfish creatures who are driven by greed, while also pointing out that the gods are no different. Pit laughs, stating that no one could be as selfish as the gods. Viridi mimics Pit's laughter, stating that she's done here, and that they can have their happy ending as Pit and Dark Pit fly into the sunset.

== Trivia ==
*This is the only exclusively aerial chapter in the game.
*It is also the only chapter where your choice of weapon is never used, as only the Great Sacred Treasure can defeat Hades.
*Dark Pit's flight being granted by Palutena is evidenced by his wings glowing blue, and the fact that Pit's were glowing green, having had his flight granted by Viridi while he finished off Hades.
*It should be noted that weapon modifiers that are active in Air Battles will carry over to the Great Sacred Treasure.
*If one waits after the credits sequence for a while, Hades' soul will begin speaking to the player, shattering what remains of the fourth wall. He will actually congratulate Pit, calling him one of the greatest Nintendo characters for defeating him. He also proclaims that ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' is his favorite game, pretends to delete the player's save data, and even comically claims that he has another 25 years to figure out how to revive himself for a sequel.

{{cquote|''Fear the wrath of my pyroblasters, space weirdos! HAHAHAHAHA! Kablooey! Kablammy!''|quotecite=Pyrrhon}}

'''Pyrrhon''', known in Japan as '''Lars, the Sun God''' (太陽神ラーズ, Taiyō-shin rāzu), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He is said to be the self proclaimed god of the sun, and assists [[Pit]] in fighting off an alien invasion. He appears during the [[Aurum]] arc of the main story (''[[Mysterious Invaders]]'', ''[[The Aurum Hive]]'', and ''[[The Aurum Brain]]'') as an ally in the former two and a brainwashed antagonist in the latter. His primary method of offense is his ability to manipulate fire and use it to attack enemies and his ability to fly fast. He is depicted as a strong head superhero-like character with a large ego and surprising intelligence, although the latter two traits do conflict with each other sometimes when Pyrrhon talks.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Pyrrhon looks like a comic book superhero with a muscular build and a body engulfed in flames including his hair. He also has bright red skin covered with tattoo-like, glowing yellow lines.

===Personality===
Pyrrhon has arguably the biggest ego of any other character in the game, but at the same time he seems to be somewhat crazy as he usually addresses himself in third-person. Despite his odd quirks, Pyrrhon is a cunning "god", as he managed to trick Pit and the other deities to reach his goal into manipulating the Aurum via the [[Aurum Brain]] in his attempt to conquer the planet.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
Pyrrhon makes his first appearance in the flight section of ''[[Mysterious Invaders]]'' as an ally of Pit to help defeat the [[Aurum]]. He explains to the angel and the "godlings" about the Aurum, and how these extraterrestrial beings must be stopped before they devour the entire planet. Despite his helpful knowledge about the Aurum, none of the other characters take him seriously, likely due to his over-the-top eccentric personality. After Pit annihilates the [[Aurum Core]], Pyrrhon saves the angel from the explosion caused by the Core's destruction.

In the [[The Aurum Hive|next chapter]], Pyrrhon only makes an appearance at the end during the boss fight with the [[Aurum Generator]]. He attempts to help out Pit again by attacking the machine with his fire abilities but only makes the situation worse by overheating the Generator then flees.

In the [[The Aurum Brain|last chapter of the Aurum invasion]], Pyrrhon joins Pit and the other gods in the final battle to get rid of the aliens once and for all. He leads the angel into the [[Aurum Brain Fortress]] where the [[Aurum Brain]] resides and tells him to shoot at it. As Pit opens fire at the Brain, Pyrrhon suddenly then merges with it by entering the yellowish core. This action causes a destructive explosion, but Pit quickly manages to escape in time. Pyrrhon then appears as a large astral projection in front of Pit, and reveals he has been using the angel the entire time to take control of the Aurum. Pyrrhon's control causes the Aurum troops to change color into a bright red and become even more powerful. Pyrrhon then even tries to destroy Pit by interfering Palutena's ability to extract Pit when the [[Power of Flight]] was running out. As Pit continues his assault on the Aurum, Pyrrhon again attempts to get rid of him again by firing a powerful blast of fire, but the angel is luckily protected by the [[Forces of Nature]] blocking the attack for him. Once finally Pit reaches the Aurum Brain again, he discovers that Pyrrhon is starting to become overrun by the Brain itself and loses control. Pyrrhon becomes [[Aurum Pyrrhon]] and begins to viciously attack Pit and threatens to consume the planet. After Pit defeats the brainwashed Pyrrhon, the explosion causes the Aurum Fortress to be sent to the other side of the galaxy, ending the Aurum threat; however, Pyrrhon's fate remains unknown.
===Idol Description===
''The self-proclaimed "Sun God" who is investigating—and entranced by—the wondrous and alien Aurum. Pyrron's massive ego seems inversely proportional to his intelligence, making his boasts of divine lineage a bit hard to swallow.''

== Trivia ==
*Pyrrhon is likely inspired by [[wikipedia:Apollo|Apollo]] or [[wikipedia:Helios|Helios]], which were both Greek gods of the sun, although his name appears to be based on [[wikipedia:Pyrrho|Pyrrho]], a Greek philosopher. It might also come from the word "pyro", which means fire.
**He may also be based upon [[wikipedia:Pyrrhus of Epirus|King Pyrrhus]], due to the fact that he survives only three levels.
*When [[Aurum Pyrrhon|Pyrrhon became possessed by the Aurum]], he started speaking nonsense including binary numbers that translate into "KILL".
*At one point Pyrrhon references [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] by the in-universe name of ''Divinipedia''.
*There is much debate in-game about Pyrrhon's godly status. Dialogue from both Palutena and Viridi indicates that neither are sure of whether he is a god or not due to his eccentric personality and thickheadedness, and his idol refers to him as the ''self-proclaimed'' sun god.
*He is one of the few major characters who does not have a weapon bearing his name- however, the Burning [[Palm]] may be inspired from him.
*A short and surprisingly powerful musical cue of twelve notes is heard whenever Pyrrhon first appears in Chapters 15 and later in Chapter 16. This is then extended to encompass most of the Chapter 17 air battle theme. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], this is treated as Pyrrhon's theme.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/games/oms/kidicarusuprising/music/music10.html</ref>
*According to Viridi, Pit is the only person that Aurum Pyrrhon considers an equal.

{{cquote|''Hey there, Pit Stain!''|quotecite=Dark Pit insulting his lighter half in [[Dark Pit (chapter)|Chapter 6]].}}


'''Dark Pit''' (黒いピット ''Kuroi Pitto'', or '''Black Pit''' ブラックピット ''Burakku Pitto''), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Dark Pit is a doppelganger of Pit, created after Pit destroyed the [[Mirror of Truth]]. He is nicknamed "Pittoo" (in English releases), "Tip" (in French releases) or "BlaPi" (in Japanese releases) by [[Palutena]] and [[Pit]]. At first, he appears as a boss and later as a mini-boss, but eventually allies with Pit in later chapters. Dark Pit can also be known as "Fallen Angel Pit." "Kuro" or "Kuro Pit" is also a popular nickname among fans (Kuro being the Japanese word for Black).

==Characteristics==
===Physical Appearance===
In terms of appearance, Dark Pit is nearly identical to that of [[Pit]], with the most obvious differences being his black clothing and hair, and shadowy teal wings. The darker color scheme is also similar to that of the "fallen angel" palette swap from ''Brawl'' with some minor changes such as red eyes, and some gold trim and laurel crown.

===Personality===
Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious and darker tone with his personality. Dark Pit also appears to attack with more aggression and will sometimes use cheap hits in order to win, such as when he kicks Pit after [[Pandora]] was defeated. Unlike Pit, Dark Pit hates the idea of being bounded down as a servant and would rather follow his own orders. This is noticeable when Dark Pit refused to follow Pandora's orders despite being created to obey her and later refused Medusa's offer to help him take down Pit, likely thinking that she would take command of him in exchange. He also appears to be sensitive about his identity. In early parts of the game, he is constantly fighting with Pit because he is supposedly "copying his act", and dislikes being called "Pittoo" by Pit and Palutena. He does occasionally team up with Pit, ether unintentionally or to complete a similar goal. Because Dark Pit came from the Mirror of Truth, it's implied that Dark Pit is actually a personification of Pit's negative inner feelings.

{{spoiler}}
He is later shown to have a something of a sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry". However, he seems to also be sharper than Pit, seeing things from a third party view due to his lack of affiliation with Hades, Viridi, or Palutena. This is shown when he accuses all three of the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are gods, and also when he seems to be the first to realize that it takes more than one soul to craft an Underworld monster.

Dark Pit also does seem to have a sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense. This can be seen when he finds out that Hades has been using souls to craft his Underworld Army, and he agrees that the Lord of the Underworld needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with her, he does seem to care about Palutena, as he aids in rescuing her from the Chaos Kin, and states that while eating souls is bad enough, going after the soul of a goddess is just vile. Also, despite everything he had done and what Pit had sacrificed for him, he's still somewhat closed off and perhaps uncomfortable with facing Pit after everything that had happened between them.

In the very least, he likely does come to trust Pit, calling out for help from him when he ends up caught by the Chaos Kin.

===Abilities===
As a clone of Pit, he has all the strengths of his lighter twin but with Pandora's powers, Dark Pit has unlimited flight (until he loses it later on). Pandora's powers also appear to give him other magical abilities and use [[power]]s on his own will instead of relying on a god.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
===Single Player===

Dark Pit first appears in the main story at the end of ''[[Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit]]'' after Pit cracks the Mirror of Truth, which was actually a part of [[Pandora]]'s devious plan to create a servant angel for herself. However, the plan backfires as the doppelgänger angel refuses to take Pandora's orders due to the mirror shattering before Dark Pit's completion. After defeating the goddess of calamity, Dark Pit kicks his lighter half away then steals Pandora's remaining powers which gives him unlimited flight. In the following chapter, ''[[Dark Pit (Chapter)|Dark Pit]]'', the dark angel is the main enemy throughout the chapter including the boss fight. During the aerial section, Dark Pit claims that he is the original, much to Pit's confusion. He is shown to possess a prototype of the [[Palutena Bow]] called the [[Silver Bow]] (which eventually becomes his favored weapon), as well as many of Pit's other arsenal. Dark Pit later makes a brief appearance in ''[[Medusa's Final Battle]]'', in which he acts an ally to Pit and helps defeats the [[Underworld Gatekeeper]]. He makes another small appearance in ''[[The Lunar Sanctum]]'' as a midboss along with the [[Lunar Sanctum Control Center]].

Dark Pit abruptly appears in the end of ''[[Chapter 20|Palutena's Temple]]'', where he uses the [[Lightning Chariot]] to widen the entrance to the [[Chaos Vortex]] as the [[Chaos Kin]] attempts to escape with Palutena's soul. He then joins forces with Pit to fight the Chaos Kin in ''[[The Chaos Vortex]]'', both to deal with the waves of monsters that the parasitic monster creates and the Chaos Kin itself. The dark angel states the reasoning behind his alliance with his lighter half is due to that fact that destroying Pit will result to his own destruction. After they free [[Palutena]]'s spirit, the remnants of the Chaos Kin drag Dark Pit and send him falling. Pit jumps down to save him and begs [[Viridi]] to let him fly again. Viridi hesitantly complies, warning Pit of the consequences, and Dark Pit calls out to Pit to help him. Pit successfully frees him from the Chaos Kin and Viridi sends them both back to Palutena in Skyworld. Dark Pit receives burns from the fall and asks how Pit is after the rescue, only to discover that Pit is unconscious and his wings have burned off.

Due to Pit's severe injuries, Dark Pit fights in his place during ''[[Scorched Feathers]]'', clearing the way to the [[Rewind Spring]] in the Underworld to repay the debt he owes his lighter twin. While there, he discovers that [[Hades]] has been using souls to form his monsters along with eating them himself, and Dark Pit claims that it was "about the SICKEST thing [he'd] ever heard." Once he reaches the Rewind Spring, he is stunned and falls to the ground, then finds that the spring had resurrected Pandora based from the powers he stole from her. Dark Pit dispatches her along with her second form, then dips the unconscious Pit's wings into the spring. Pit revives and Dark Pit hurries off the platform, only to find that he has lost his ability to fly so Viridi saves him from falling.

The doppelgänger angel is later seen using the Lightning Chariot again, and saves Pit from Hades after he manages to defeat [[Hades' Heart]] in ''[[Lord of the Underworld]]''. In the [[Chapter 25|final chapter]], the dark angel flies past his lighter twin after he defeats Hades, and appears to be using Palutena's Power of Flight as Pit was using Viridi's. Though Dark Pit doesn't approach Pit, he does go to follow him toward the horizon before he flies off to another direction.

===Multiplayer===
Dark Pit also appears in [[Together Mode]] as a playable character. When the [[Dark Team]]'s gauge becomes empty, the last [[Fighter]] defeated on the said team will respawn as the dark angel. It appears he and the Dark Team are just training in a friendly manner with the opposing [[Light Team]], as both sides will help the loser get back on his feet at the end of the match.

===Idol Descriptions===
'''Dark Pit''' 
''A flawed clone of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth. He has most of Pit's strengths, and he can even fly with Pandora's powers. While he sees Pit as a rival, the two share a strange, inherent connection.''
 
'''Dark Pit (Flying)''' 
''Being Pit's copy, Dark Pit was originally incapable of flight. However, he gains the ability when he absorbs Pandora's remaining power into his wings. And while he may not need help flying, he still shares a bond with his counterpart.''

==Trivia==
*He could be said to be the successor of [[Putt]], an enemy Pit Clone in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''.
*Dark Pit constantly being called "Pittoo" may stem from the romanization of Pit's name in Japan ''ピット Pitto''.
*Dark Pit originated in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of Pit's palette swaps.
*Dark Pit continues the tradition of evil [[Nintendo]] doppelgängers, joining a cast that includes [[mariowiki:Shadow_Mario|Shadow Mario]], [[zeldawiki:Dark_Link|Dark Link]], [[metroidwiki:Dark_Samus|Dark Samus]], [[wikirby:Shadow_Kirby|Shadow Kirby]], and [[fzerowiki:Blood_Falcon|Blood Falcon]].
*Dark Pit's musical theme is supposed to give off a "duel from old Westerns" feel but also has a bit of a Spanish flavor, according to [[Masahiro Sakurai]].<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/games/oms/kidicarusuprising/music/music03.html</ref>
*Dark Pit is one of two characters in ''Uprising'' that has played the role of an ally, boss, and playable character. The other is [[Magnus]].

Bow

2012-10-13T01:04:15Z

RicketyTrigger:

{{WeaponBox
|name= Bow
|image= Bow artwork.jpg
|type= Weapon
|specializesin= Ranged Combat
|strengths= Strong homing capabilities, high shot speed
|weaknesses= Weak melee, slow rate of fire
}}

The '''Bow''', known in Japan as '''God Bow''' (神弓 ''Shinkyū''), is [[Pit]]'s primary weapon in the [[Kid Icarus series|''Kid Icarus'' series]]. It is often seen with Pit in his various cameos. Pit carries an unlimited supply of arrows, and can be aimed vertically or horizontally. Earning [[Arrow of Strength|Arrows of Strength]] will increase the overall power of this weapon. Pit can only have one arrow in flight at a time, even with the powerful [[Arrow of Light]]. 

==Appearances==
===''[[Kid Icarus]]''===
The Bow has a relatively short range when Pit starts out. Collecting the [[Sacred Bow]] extends this range to line of sight, and the [[Fire Arrow]]s will increase the damage. This is Pit's main weapon, and fires quite fast.

===''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''===
Pit's Bow functions virtually the same as in the previous adventure, along with the same type of weapons.

===''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''===
The Bow returns as one of the basic weapons that Pit can use in battle. One of the versions resembles the traditional design from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', while the others have completely new designs. It fires charged and rapid fire arrows that function most effectively at medium-long ranges. This weapon has a homing property like the [[Palm]], making it useful for taking out quickly moving enemies from a safe distance. In melee range, Pit splits the Bow into two smaller blades in the same way as he did in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; however, they do not inflict much melee damage compared to other weapon types. For the Bow's special attack, Pit will aim upwards and fire multiple arrows that fall down as a rain of arrows.

====Variations====
The different Bows are as follows:

'''[[Meteor Bow]]'''

| style="text-align: center;"|A futuristic-looking Bow that harnesses the power of comets. The Meteor Bow's dash shots fire heat-seeking, triple arrows that are nearly impossible to avoid for opponents. It's charged shot is an exceptionally strong projectile with the power of a meteor strike, although it has very little homing ability. This variation also has the longest range of any other Bow.

|
'''[[Silver Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"|A prototype bow designed by Palutena and the favored weapon of [[Dark Pit]]. Unlike most Bows, its projectiles are strongest at close ranges and lose power at long distances. However, its range and homing ability are above average, making it useful in any situation.

|-
|
'''[[Divine Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"| A bow made from the wood of a sacred tree. Its fearsome energy is kept in check by the bow's many seals. Its charged shots have a strong potential of nullifying enemy fire. It also charges quickly and has a high homing ability.

|
'''[[Darkness Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"|A Bow with a dark color scheme and neon lights. Although both its projectile and melee attacks are highly effective, it suffers from a short range, poor homing ability, and long charge time.
| style="text-align: center;"|[[File:Darkness bow.png]]
|-
|
'''[[Crystal Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"|A variant that fires crystal gem projectiles; large blue ones as charged shots, and medium yellow ones for rapid fire. Its high overall attack power is offset by its extremely short range.

|-
|
'''[[Phosphora Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"|A bow crafted from [[Phosphora|Phosphora's]] scarf. Its charged shots have great homing ability and speed but its rapid-fire shots have no homing capabilities. While the bow overall lacks power, its shots have a chance to paralyze enemies, and grants a speed bonus.

|-
|
'''[[Sagittarius Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"|One of the [[Zodiac Weapons]], this bow is inspired by the ninth astrological sign in the Zodiac. Its shots have a piercing effect that let them hit multiple foes at once. Although its charge time is rather long, its shots travel quickly and deal a decent amount of damage.

| style="text-align: center;"|[[File:Sagittarius bow.png]]
|-
|
'''[[Aurum Bow]]'''
| style="text-align: center;"|A bow created using Aurum technology. Rare among bows, its continuous-fire dash attack unleashes a barrage of multiple shots. Though it has good range and great homing ability, its low attack power makes it better at a distance.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
{{main|Palutena's Arrow}}
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Pit uses the Sacred Bow of Palutena as his neutral special move. In turn, this bow debuted within ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. The move is named [[Palutena's Arrow]] in reference to the projectile that the bow fires.
====Trophy Description====
''The bow Pit got from [[Palutena]] after the [[Medusa]] incident. As a standard bow, it's capable of firing arrows of light that can change direction. It can also be split to form two short swords—Pit holds one sword in his right hand in a standard grip and one in his left in a reverse grip. He may hold them like this so he can shift between bow and swords without losing a beat.''

Status Ailments

2012-10-13T00:55:28Z

RicketyTrigger: changed it to alphabetical order

'''Status ailments''' have been introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', although a few have been mentioned in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' as well. These damaging status effects can potentially be inflicted on [[Pit]] himself, helper characters such as [[Magnus]], and even enemies.

==Burn==
'''Burn''' is another damaging status effect in the game that is commonly inflicted by fire-based attacks. This defect depletes Pit's health faster than poisoning does, but also wears off faster as well. This stat problem is indicated by a wing symbol on fire by the upper left corner where Pit's HP is. [[Twinbellows]]' flame-engulfed body can burn Pit on contact, and [[Hewdraw]] has a powerful flamethrower attack that may cause this effect when hit. Pit's [[Wolf Claws]], [[Burning Palm]], [[Twinbellows Cannon]], and any other weapon with the "Burning" modifier can also cause burning damage against foes.

==Confusion==
'''Confusion''' is a status effect that causes those affected to be temporarily disoriented, scrambling their controls for a short time and making the afflicted move and attack randomly. The [[Cacaw]] and [[Zaurum]] can inflict this condition.

==Eggplant==
'''Eggplant''' is the infamous status ailment caused by the [[Eggplant Wizard]], that causes Pit's upper body to be turned into an Eggplant. This prevents the angel from attacking, and is left extremely vulnerable until the curse wears off. There is also a Power known as the [[Powers|Eggplant Attack]] that does the same action towards enemies, but can only be used in Together Mode.

==Freeze==
'''Freeze''' is an ailment that causes those affected to be frozen solid in place, although for a limited time. The enemies that can potentially cause this status effect are ice-based foes such as the [[Snowman]] and [[Frozum]]. Weapons with Freezing as an additional effect, the [[Powers|Freeze Attack]] power and melee attacks from an [[Aquarius Blade]] can also inflict freeze.

==Paralysis==
'''Paralysis''' can occur when characters are struck with electricity-based attacks. Like other status effects, it is only temporary, although it doesn't deplete health in the same way that poison and burn does. Rather, paralysis will cause the afflicted to become greatly slowed and unable to dodge for a short time as electricity surges through their bodies, leaving them vulnerable to attack. The [[Dynamo Cannon]], [[Halo Club]], [[Electroshock Arm]], and any weapon with the Paralysis modifier can cause this status effect, while [[Reaper|Reapettes]] and [[Porcuspine|Porcuspines]] can occasionally inflict it with their attacks.

==Poison==
'''Poison''' is one of the status ailments in ''Uprising''. When poisoned, the health of the afflicted character will slowly be drained until the condition wears off after a short while. During this time, the character will glow purple with a poisonous haze emanating from their body. The only enemies confirmed to have the ability to poison other characters are [[Shulm]]s and [[Shemum]]s, although they only actually utilize this weapon in ''Uprising''. The [[Phils]] used by [[Collin]] have also been confirmed to inflict this condition, as well as getting hit from the [[Shelbo]]'s close-ranged spinning shell attack. Originally, the manual for ''Kid Icarus ''stated that both Shemums and Shulms had poisonous capabilities, yet they were never used in the game itself. In addition, the [[Viper Blade]] weapon used by Pit possesses the ability to poison enemies that are hit with charged shots.

==Shaking==
'''Shaking''' is an ailment that causes the targeting reticule to shake wildly, making it difficult for the afflicted to aim their attacks, and prevents shots from being able to home in on enemies. A [[Zuree]] can inflict this status ailment on Pit if it hits him with its claws. The [[Bluster]]'s projectiles are capable of inflicting this condition as well, along with Medusa's claw attacks.

== Shrink ==
'''Shrink''' is a status effect that is caused by the [[Shrinky Bean]]. This ailment decreases the size of those affected, which makes them more difficult to hit.

==Spin==
'''Spin''' is a status aliment that causes the affected player's screen to turn around uncontrollably, making it harder to aim and fight altogether. The [[Quoil]], [[Bumbledrop]], [[Powers|Spin Attack]] Power (Together Mode exclusive), and Cyclone Bomb are known to cause this status aliment.

==Stone==
'''Stone''' is very similar to the Freeze ailment, although it causes those affected to become encased in stone rather than ice and doubles their defense for the duration of the ailment; in addition, the immobilization effect lasts longer than the Freeze ailment. An item called the [[Medusa Head]] can cause this status effect, as well as Medusa herself in the original ''Kid Icarus''. [[Igniot]] and its cellular version can also cause this status aliment as well if Pit gets hit by its laser attack. The Weapon mod Petrification as well as the [[Power]] [[Petrify Attack]] can cause the effect as well. If Pit is afflicted with this ailment, rapidly mashing buttons can help him recover faster.

==Tempura==
'''Tempura''' is very similar to the Eggplant status ailment, which causes the Pit's upper body to be turned into a Tempura. Like the Eggplant ailment, Pit cannot attack when transformed, but he also suffers from greatly decreased stamina, which also decreases the distance he can dash. The [[Tempura Wizard]], who causes this status aliment, will chase Pit until it catches and eats him, which causes instant death. The [[Powers|Tempura Attack]] Power and Tempura Bomb item can also cause this status aliment, but is exclusive to Together Mode.

==Weaken==
'''Weaken''' is a particularly dangerous status ailment that temporarily reduces Pit's maximum health by half. Skuttler Mages can inflict this condition on Pit with their spells, along with a small number of bosses (such as Thanatos and Amazon Pandora). The [[Great Reaper Palm]] can also inflict this condition, but only in Together mode.

The '''Reset Bomb Depot''' resembles a large forest island that floats indefinitely in the sky. It is a "natural" factory that is the source of the deadly [[Reset Bomb]]s. It is owned by [[Viridi]] and protected by the [[Forces of Nature Guard]]s. The exterior of the depot resembles a massively overgrown plant and the interior is that of a mountainous terrain and primitive "city". It appears in Chapter 12, ''[[Wrath of the Reset Bomb]]'' and is destroyed by [[Pit]] in the same events.

== Idol Description ==

''The Reset Bomb Depot hovers in the air, creating Reset Bombs like a plant producing seeds. While there were once three Reset Bomb Depots, all are eventually destroyed by enemies of the goddess Viridi.''

The Reaper's Line of Sight

|majorcharacters= [[Great Reaper]]
}}

'''''The Reaper's Line of Sight''''' is the fourth chapter in the main storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. This mission has [[Pit]] traversing a new area called the [[Reaper Fortress]]. As its name suggests, this area is the home of [[Medusa]]'s most trusted lookouts, the [[Reaper]]s, in addition to the dreaded [[Eggplant Wizard]]s from previous adventures. In order to get to the fortress, Pit must get through a very dangerous ravine infested with Underworld monsters and other traps, all the while avoiding the Reapers that patrol the location. The key to doing this is to stay out of the red light given off by the Reapers' eyes, hence the name of the chapter.

==Aerial Mission==
The mission starts with Pit flying through an area clouded by dense pollution and fog. As [[Palutena]] guides him, she explains she is trying to locate [[Pandora]]'s labyrinth but she cannot find it because a force within the Reaper Fortress is obscuring the exact location. She will also warn the angel of the Reapers that he fought during his previous adventures, and how his next target is the very fortress they reside in. This is exceptionally bad news for Pit, as these death-dealing monsters of Medusa were among the most feared enemies of his past. This time, however, their laser eye sight can be seen by the player, and the Reapers will only react if Pit flies directly through their line of sight. In doing so, the activated Reaper will summon multiple Reapettes in the same way it did in the original ''Kid Icarus''. As Pit is finally lowered from cloud cover, he finds himself in an unexpected danger zone as the glowing eyes of hundreds of Reapers dot the surface of the wasteland below, all of them frantically searching for the angel. Upon passing through their spotlight vision, the Reapers begin summoning their flight-capable Reapette counterparts to knock Pit out of the sky. It is only after he makes it past this army of death that Palutena sends him down a massive fissure and through a ravine that leads to the Reaper Fortress. The corridors of the ravine are filled with Underworld troops and Reapers, as well as multiple traps that include dangerous moving walls. The biggest obstacles of course are the Reapers themselves, which stand in various spots along the walls of the ravine. Aside from these hazards, there is also a heavy wind current that forces Pit in a different direction and gets Palutena lost in the process. Once she finds an alternate route, Pit is able to get past the Reapers and make it to the fortress. However, in an unexpected turn of events, the Reaper Fortress suddenly unleashes a heavy barrage of lasers that forces Pit to fly straight through the gateway of the structure.
[[File:Reaper_fleePict.png|left|thumb|198px|Pit fleeing from the Reaper.]]

==Ground Mission==
At the start of the ground mission, an exhausted Pit will wake up on the floor of the Reaper Fortress after experiencing a rough landing during the previous chaos. The fortress itself is rife with many traps and obstacles littering every corner, including spikes that rise out of the ground, guillotines that are built into many of the archways, and dangerous spinning mechanisms that run along a track. The Reaper Fortress also introduces the [[Grind Rail]] to players, which can be used to get to new locations. In addition, the Reapers themselves will be patrolling every corner of the fortress with their line of sight. If Pit falls within this laser sight, the Reaper will begin to pursue while summoning its Reapettes to chase after him. Some new enemies appear that will also utilize the traps around the fortress to their advantage, one of which uses a force of suction to try and pull Pit into a slicing blade. During a later part of the mission, he will have to traverse a polluted river area where more Reapers will be patrolling. Once Pit finally makes it past the numerous horrors of the fortress, he will finally be able to enter its central structure.
===[[Intensity Gate]]===
The single Intensity Gate of this chapter is reached by taking an elevator and requires a setting of 5.0 or higher. It leads to a grind rail blocked by rocks that must be shot at. A [[Shelbo]] and two [[Gyrazer]]s guard the door that leads to two [[Treasure Chest]]s containing [[Heart]]s, [[Food]], and a weapon. The trip back is made more perilous as two Reapers and a [[Shrip]] appear, although a valuable [[Souflee]] will also follow you back down the grind rail.
===Zodiac Chamber===
A Zodiac Chamber containing the [[Arm|Taurus Arm]] is located in the room just beyond where an Eggplant Wizard is fought at the bottom of a glowing pit. A [[Clubberskull]], although restrained, is guarding the area along with a pair of [[Zuree]].

==Boss Battle==
When Pit enters the chamber at the center of the fortress, a normal Reaper will appear and begin panicking upon seeing Pit. As it turns out, this particular Reaper is actually the [[Great Reaper]], which rules over all the others. It will reveal its true form soon after, beginning this challenging boss battle. The Great Reaper has numerous attacks and will use different strategies depending on what level of the arena Pit is standing on.

===Lower Level===
[[File:Reaper_Boss_Uprising.png|thumb|158px|The Great Reaper, just after transformation.]]
*The Great Reaper will slowly walk towards Pit, causing him damage by simply being hit with his feet. After depleting a certain amount of its health, the Reaper will begin stomping much faster, making it increasingly difficult to evade.
*Upon getting close enough to Pit, the Reaper will pause and try to stomp on Pit with much more force.
*If it's attacked too much, the Great Reaper may jump up into the air and try to land on Pit. It may also jump a multitude of times in order to both attack or evade Pit.

===Upper Level===
*While normal Reapers emit a red laser from their eyes as a form of spotlight vision, the Great Reaper can shoot this laser at Pit as a form of attack. Of all its attacks, this red laser has the furthest range and is often used whenever Pit evades its closer-ranged attacks. If it connects, a group of Reapettes will be summoned as well.
*The Great Reaper slams its scythe flat on the upper platform and uses a horizontal swipe to hit Pit.
*The Reaper may also point its scythe vertically towards Pit and shoot out three energy blades that can home in on his location.
*Similar to its other scythe attacks, the Great Reaper will spin around and try to swipe Pit three times consecutively with its blade. This only happens when the golden light appears.
Once Pit causes enough damage to the Great Reaper's weakpoints, a golden light will appear on its forehead. After one more hit to this light, the massive creature will finally collapse, allowing Palutena to locate Pandora's labyrinth in the next chapter.

*When spotted by the Reapers, the original 8-bit Reaper's theme from the original game will play.
*The fourth level focusing on the Reapers might be reference to the Japanese superstition around the number "four" which is sometimes pronounced with the word ''shi'' which also means "death" in Japanese.

Town

2012-10-06T02:02:41Z

RicketyTrigger:

{{LocationBox
|name= Town
|image= That first town.jpg
|firstappearance= ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' (1986)
|latestappearance= ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' (2012)
|origin= Artificial Structure
|location= [[Overworld]]
|inhabitants= [[Human Army|Humans]]
}}

'''Towns''' are locations where the humans of [[Angel Land]] live. They are made up of buildings that include houses, temples, and in one case, a massive colosseum. Because of [[Medusa|Medusa's]] hatred for the human race, towns serve as primary targets for the Underworld Army, especially in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Certain chapters of the main storyline involve [[Pit]] having to save a town from certain destruction by the attacking forces of Medusa, usually by [[Palutena|Palutena's]] request. Although humans are said to live in these locations, none are actually ever seen, although they can be heard calling to Pit and Palutena for help during flight. In fact, it is very likely that the residents are simply hiding within their homes during the attacks.

==Appearances==

===''[[Kid Icarus]]''===

A small community of humans can be seen in an image from the game's manual. Although it can be assumed that the picture depicts part of a human town or settlement, the only structure actually seen is a lone temple located near a garden.

===''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''===

This installment of the series introduces multiple towns that are featured in ''[[The Return of Palutena]]'', ''[[Heads of the Hewdraw]]'', ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'', and ''[[The War's End]]''.

====The Return of Palutena====

[[File:Towns.png|thumb|right|Pit facing the fountain in ''That First Town''.]]

===== ''That First Town'' =====

''The first town to be attacked by the resurrected Underworld Army. Despite the speed of Medusa's invasion, Pit and Palutena are able to protect the people from any major damage and defeat Twinbellows in their coliseum.''

The town in the first chapter, officially known as That First Town, is located at the center of a lush grassland with many hills, mountains and forested areas. There also appear to be farmlands on the outskirts of the town itself, which can be seen during flight. This human settlement is very flat in appearance and is made up of many smaller buildings, statues, and fountains. The most notable structure of this location is the large colosseum that overlooks the entire area. This landmark appropriately serves as the arena where [[Twinbellows]] is fought.

====Heads of the Hewdraw====

[[File:Thatburningtown.jpg|thumb|right|Official artwork of ''That Burning Town''.]]

===== ''That Burning Town'' =====

''This town is damaged during the Underworld Army's two-pronged assault on the surface world and Skyworld. It is in this city Pit fights the two remaining Hewdraw heads hiding since their last defeat.''

The third chapter centers around a somewhat smaller town that lies at the edge of a lake, known officially as That Burning Town. Although it is much more compact, this particular town was constructed as more of a stronghold and is surrounded by a massive wall. In contrast to the wide streets and smaller buildings that made up the previous town, this area is much more crowded and rife with taller structures, conveying a somewhat medieval appearance. It also has a courtyard, a well, and what appears to be a couple of temples that overlook the rest of the town. In addition, there is a path that leads to the lake where the last head of [[Hewdraw]] is fought. The destruction the Hewdraw wrought upon this town led Palutena to develop the [[Juggernaut]] as a means of defense.

{{spoiler}}

====The Ring of Chaos====

===== ''Decimated Town'' =====

''In the three years that Pit is imprisoned in the Ring of Chaos, this once-thriving town becomes a shadow of its former self. Until Pit's return, the stalemate between Viridi, the Underworld, and Palutena prevents all-out war.''

This chapter has Pit traversing a town whose population has been wiped out. Due to his soul being trapped in the Ring of Chaos, the angel explores the town as a [[Girl]], [[Dog]], and finally [[Magnus]], but is only able to leave once he regains his body.

The '''Reset Bomb Depot''' resembles a large forest island that floats indefinitely in the sky. It is a ''natural'' factory that is the source of the deadly [[Reset Bomb]]s. It is owned by [[Viridi]] and protected by the [[Forces of Nature Guard]]s. The exterior of the depot resembles a massively overgrown plant and the interior is that of a mountainous terrain and primitive ''city''. It appears in Chapter 12, [[Wrath of the Reset Bomb]] and is destroyed by [[Pit]] in the same events.

== Idol Description ==

''The Reset Bomb Depot hovers in the air, creating Reset Bombs like a plant producing seeds. While there were once three Reset Bomb Depots, all are eventually destroyed by enemies of the goddess Viridi.''

Reaper Fortress

{{LocationBox
|name= Reaper Fortress
|image= Reaperfortressexterior.jpg
|firstappearance= ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' (2012)
|latestappearance= ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' (2012)
|origin= Enemy Fortress
|location= [[Overworld]]
|inhabitants= [[Reaper]]s, Reapettes, [[Great Reaper]]
}}

The '''Reaper Fortress''' is the supposed home of the [[Reaper]]s, introduced in [[Kid Icarus: Uprising|''Kid Icarus: Uprising'']]. It is a massive castle made completely out of rock and bone, built within a deep, foggy ravine. Both the fortress and the ravine are infested with many of Medusa's underworld monsters, as well as numerous traps. The fortress is also home to an arena where the [[Great Reaper|boss form]] of the Reaper is fought. The Reaper Fortress is the central location of a chapter in the storyline of ''Uprising'', known as ''[[The Reaper's Line of Sight]]''.

==Locations==
===The Ravine===
The path to the Reaper Fortress has [[Pit]] traveling through a long ravine filled with enemy soldiers sent by [[Medusa]]. The Reaper itself also patrols the ravine's corridors using its line of sight, which takes the form of a red beam. If Pit flies through the beam, the Reaper will summon up to three Reapettes to give chase. Aside from these primary enemies, the ravine itself is also littered with numerous obstacles and traps, such as jagged walls, heavy wind currents, and clashing stone surfaces that close in on Pit as he tries to fly through. The ravine is also maze-like in structure, even confusing [[Palutena]] as she was attempting to lead Pit through the area.

===The Fortress===
The Reaper Fortress lies within an enormous canyon at the end of a very narrow tunnel. The structure's many towers are heavily armed with numerous turrents that launch red lasers at Pit as he approaches. By dodging these lasers, Pit is forced to enter the fortress itself straight through the front gate. The inside of the fortress is where Pit's ground mission takes place. Like the ravine, the Reaper Fortress is filled to the brim with both enemies and traps, including spikes that suddenly jut out of the ground when approached and spinning blade mechanisms that follow a set path. At the end of the fortress is a large arena where the Great Reaper will be fought.

==Physical Appearance==
The Reaper Fortess is notable for being made almost completely out of bones, or at least sculptures that resemble bones. The main building itself is lined with animal skulls and massive, tusk-like structures that curve around the entire fortress. There are also two curving lines of pillars holding up what look like large vertebrae. These structures also support two towers standing on each side of a small bridge that leads straight to the entrance of the fortress. The main building, the pillars, and the towers are all lined with dangerous laser turrets.

==Trivia==
*The music that plays inside the Reaper Fortress is a remixed version of the theme that played whenever the Reaper spotted Pit in the original [[Kid Icarus|''Kid Icarus'']].

The '''Aurum Island''' is one of the fortresses the [[Aurum]] created as to control their fleet on their first attack on Earth. It is found in Chapter 15, ''[[Mysterious Invaders]]''.

The Aurum Island is one of a few that are witnessed during the Air Battle at the beginning of the chapter. However, it is on this unnamed specific island that the Aurum Core is found on. When first arriving on the surface, Pit himself asks [[Palutena]] if it was the future that lay before his eyes. It is on this island as well that many new concepts and designs of the Aurum are first revealed. As stated in the Idol Description, the islands created have a shabby patchwork look due to the different materials harvested from different planets. Even so, they still manage to keep up a technical look. Aurum Islands may look pretty on the top, but the bottom of the Island is a collection of jagged rock shards and enormous, irregular stone towers. The whole island is held up, floating, thanks to a mysterious Aurum anti-gravity field that has yet to be explained.
==Idol Description==
''The Aurum travel with vast floating islands like this one. Similar to how bees gather pollen, the Aurum harvest material from worlds to create even more islands. This gives each island a strange, patchwork look.''

The '''Space Pirate Ship''' is a massive space-faring ship that is piloted by the alien-like [[Space Pirate]]s and their [[Space Pirate Captain|captain]] in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Despite [[Angel Land]] being a fairly primitive and mythological world, the Space Pirate Ship is actually quite technologically advanced in comparison. The craft was specifically constructed for traversing the world's mystical oceanic atmosphere, known as the [[Galactic Sea]], where the starry constellations of the night sky are held in place. For this purpose, the ship is used to capture constellations that are of great value to the Space Pirates, including what may have been a constellation holding the power of the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]. The vessel itself has multiple tools built into it that can be used to accomplish such a task, with one being the sharp, dagger-like bow of the ship that can cut through the connecting lines between the stars that make up a constellation. In addition, the ship's anchor apparently doubles as a claw that can grab a hold of the detached stars to collect the constellation itself. Aside from these powerful tools, the ship is also very battle-ready when it comes to attacks from the outside, being equipped with numerous laser cannons along the hull, jet boosters at the stern, and a pair of large energy-based wings that allow it to sail very quickly through the celestial ocean.

== Trivia ==
*The Space Pirate Ship is remarkably similar both conceptually and physically to the [[wikirby:Lor Starcutter|Lor Starcutter]] from the ''Kirby'' series. Both are futuristic space ships that have wings, a blue coloration, and are piloted by extraterrestrial beings. In addition, the crafts share the same concept of cutting through celestial bodies.

}}
'''''Lightning Battle''''' is the fourteenth chapter in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', in which [[Pit]] battles one of [[Viridi]]'s commanders, [[Phosphora]]. This level takes place in a temple located within thunder clouds, being appropriately named Thunder Cloud Temple. The [[Forces of Nature]] and the electrified temple keeps Pit on his toes in this exciting chapter.

==Aerial Mission==
This chapter starts off with Pit trying to leap out of the door before nearly being blown to smithereens by a burst of energy blasting through the door. [[Palutena]] tells Pit that Hades has rejoined the battle between Viridi and Pit. [[Hades]] revived [[Thanatos]], putting him back into the position of commander. Thanatos is in a heated battle with one of Viridi's top commanders, Phosphora, the warrior of lightning. Pit dodges both the [[Underworld Army]] and the Forces of Nature's attacks as well as avoiding the battle of commanders. After a while, Phosphora defeats Thanatos, and retreats to Thunder Cloud Temple to recharge. Palutena tells Pit to attack Phosphora before she fully recharges. Pit enters the thunder clouds surrounding the temple, but Phosphora begins to fire electrical beams which he must dodge. Once he dodges her attacks, Pit lands outside of the temple and heads in.

==Ground Mission==
Before Pit heads in, Palutena warns Pit of the electric columns and walls. If Pit were to touch a wall, Palutena will yell at Pit because she warned him, but he didn't listen. Once inside, Palutena tells [[Pit]] to destroy the gem to shut off some of the power. Phosphora shrugs this off, and Pit moves forward. When Palutena tells Pit about the train car, Phosphora allows him to do so because it isn't her place. After a conversation about Phosphora "squatting" in the temple, she accepts Pit's challenge. Phosphora then calls Pit a "yes-man" and cute, to which he blushes, making Phosphora call him cute again. Palutena says that Pit embarrasses easily, to which Phosphora replies with "don't give it a second thought... ma'am". [[Palutena]] and Phosphora then get into a fight about their age. After Pit makes the air current in the next room powerful, Phosphora will say that he "has brains and brawn". After Pit fights the enemies in the next room, he will reach a room with many floors and electric currents, which Phosphora calls "perfectly safe". Once all the enemies are defeated, the next room will open up with another power gem. After Pit destroys the gem, he can fall down a hole to a grind rail leading to the final passage to the boss. Defeating enemies along the way, Pit will go through the door to reach a jump pad to the boss door.

===Zodiac Chamber===
The Libra Sponge power can be found in a room just before the boss fight with Phosphora. All Pit must do is simply dodge through the electric fence blocking the doorway to get to the Zodiac Chamber.

==Boss Battle==
Phosphora is the boss of this level. She is incredibly fast and zips around the battlefield at great speed. She is a fierce warrior specialized in lightning-based moves, so all of her attacks are electrified and may cause [[Status Ailments|paralysis]]. Phosphora can attack with electric orbs of many varieties and send columns of electricity at Pit. She has a powerful charging attack that can cause electrical bolts to ricochet off the surrounding posts.

[[File:Phosphora.png|200px|thumb|right|Phosphora preparing for battle.]]
== Epilogue ==

After taking enough hits, Phosphora will go down while stating she takes back what she said earlier about Pit being cute. Without Phosphora running the temple, it collapses and Palutena tells Hades that Pit will be after him soon.

==Trivia==
*If Pit uses a [[Palm]] in this level, Palutena will tell him how a Palm works outside of the temple before the boss.

The Return of Palutena

|majorcharacters= [[Pit]], [[Palutena]], [[Medusa]], [[Twinbellows]]
}}

'''''The Return of Palutena''''' is the first chapter in the main storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It introduces the player to the three main characters of the game: [[Pit]] himself, the goddess [[Palutena]], and the main antagonist, [[Medusa]]. This chapter also helps to explain the controls to the player, as well as the mission at hand.
==Aerial Mission==
The first part of the chapter will have Pit flying though the blue skies, where the player will be introduced to some basic enemies while Palutena explains the situation of Medusa being reborn. After the explanation of how to fight in the air, Medusa herself will appear before Pit but will not attack directly. Instead, she taunts both Pit and Palutena about celebrating her revival by slaughtering all of the humans in the [[town]] below, before disappearing. Palutena will lead Pit to ground level to search for the town, all the while being attacked by Underworld troops sent by Medusa. During this time, Palutena will also explain the [[Power of Flight]], which is her ability to guide Pit through the skies under a time limit of five minutes. Upon reaching the town, it is clear that the Underworld army has already begun its rampage as many buildings in the area burn. Confetti appears in the air and Pit will then proceed to fly down to ground level; not before stating that the people of the town are cheering for the return of Palutena.

==Ground Mission==
Upon reaching the ground, Palutena will explain the control scheme once again. Pit will have to proceed through the streets of the town, but will now be in full control of his movement. Underworld troops are everywhere, and are just as dangerous on the ground as they are in the air. Pit must battle through the streets and defeat all of the enemies. After a while, Medusa will unleash Twinbellows, which jumpes towards the colosseum, defeating any enemies in its way and then sets the colosseum ablaze. Pit must then make his way to the structure to face the boss of the mission. A multitude of staircases lead up to the colosseum, lined with various enemies. As Pit makes his way to the top, a giant metal ball will roll back down the staircases after him, defeating any enemies in the way. Once Pit makes it past all of these obstacles, he will be free to enter the colosseum itself and face the boss. A hidden treasure box will appear if pit goes between the two staircases that lead up to the colosseum and defeats the [[Wave Angler]] in the gap.

=== [[Intensity Gate]]s ===
Only one Intensity Gate is located here, requiring the Fiend's Cauldron to be set at 5.0 or higher. This Gate will allow Pit to battle a powerful miniboss known as a [[Crawler]], which resembles a massive tank that has a weak spot on its back. It will be accompanied by two [[Gyrazer]]s. The reward for defeating them is a Treasure Box and three food items.

[[File:Twinbellows_Uprising.jpg|thumb|216px|Pit facing [[Twinbellows]].]]

==Boss Battle==
The boss of this chapter is [[Twinbellows]], the two-headed guard dog of the Underworld. It was summoned by Medusa as a flaming ball of fire to secure her hold on the town. Twinbellows moves very fast in battle and becomes tougher as its health is depleted. Also, many of its attacks can cause [[Status Ailments|burns]]. Both heads are capable of either shooting multiple flaming projectiles, or breathing one large stream of fire. It can also attack with its claws and can swing its tail when Pit uses melee attacks. However, Twinbellows' most dangerous attack is when it charges directly at Pit, a maneuver it can repeat at four times. The amount of times it uses this attack depends on the boss's health and the intensity he is faced on. Fortunately, after Twinbellows uses this move, it will hit its head on the wall of the colosseum, making it vulnerable for Pit to attack. When the beast is defeated a cutscene is shown where Pit is warning Medusa that he's coming for her next.

}}

'''''Medusa's Final Battle''''' is the ninth chapter of the storyline in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', and focuses on the climactic battle between [[Medusa]] and [[Pit]]. The [[Three Sacred Treasures]] retrieved during [[The Space-Pirate Ship|Chapter 8]] are automatically equipped right before Pit begins this mission, allowing him to destroy his enemies with relative ease.

== Aerial Mission ==

The aerial battle has Pit flying down to the depths of the [[Underworld]], where Medusa resides within a deathly fortress. On the way, he encounters new enemies called [[Shootfly|Shootflies]], which only react to the sound of a firing weapon. He makes his way down a deep tunnel filled with dangerous [[Orne]]s, which can now be easily destroyed thanks to the Sacred Treasures, as well as web-spinning [[Trailtail]]s. After passing these many enemies, Pit finally reaches the eye-shaped entrance to the Underworld, which can now be entered thanks to the key retrieved from [[Thanatos]] during [[The Seafloor Palace|Chapter 7]]. Upon reaching the dreary wastelands of the Underworld, [[Dark Pit]] joins in for the rest of the aerial mission, as he shares a common goal of getting rid of the goddess of darkness. After battling numerous enemies, they reach Medusa's ghastly fortress where they must face the dangerous [[Underworld Gatekeeper]] as a miniboss, which can launch many laser-based attacks and will prevent them from passing. When the guardian proves to be too strong, Dark Pit executes a powerful kick to knock the monster out of the way, allowing Pit to enter the fortress while his dark counterpart stays behind to fight off the pursuing Underworld monsters.

== Ground Mission ==

The ground mission begins with Pit entering a room with three statues of bosses from the previous chapters. All three of Medusa’s primary minions ([[Twinbellows]], [[Hewdraw]], and [[Pandora]]) must be faced once again by entering the doors in front of their respective statues. Each boss is also preceded by a short chapter segment that utilizes the game's three vehicles. Upon defeating the trio of bosses, the path to Medusa's domain will open, beginning a long trip to the final battle. A multitude of enemies are introduced here, including the laser-firing [[Igniot]], the classic [[Erinus]] (which now only splits into two parts), and the extremely dangerous [[Tempura Wizard]]. Many obstacles are also present in the fortress, including an extensive [[Grind Rail]] segment and a location with nearly invisible platforms that must be hopped across. Medusa constantly taunts Pit along the way, but also reveals that she hasn't figured out how she was revived in the first place.

== Boss Battle ==

The final battle with Medusa has Pit flying for the first time at a chapter’s end, using the Sacred Treasures to circle around the massive goddess of darkness. It consists of three parts:
===Normal Form Part 1===
Medusa initially forces the angel far away from her platform, where he will have to make his way back while avoiding an onslaught of projectile attacks. When Pit gets close enough, Medusa will begin warping around the arena while launching more attacks, making her a difficult target to hit until she completely stops. If Pit doesn't stop her soon enough, she will force him away from the platform again.
===Normal Form Part 2===
Palutena will use her power to hold Medusa in place, allowing Pit to hit her much more easily. She now attacks by shooting fire from her eyes, as well as by spawning an inhaling fanged maw within her palm. This is the shortest part of the battle.
===Monster Form===
After taking enough damage, Medusa's rage will overcome her, causing her to transform into her monster form from the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]''. In a rather disturbing scene, she twists and detaches her head from her neck and begins to quickly fly after Pit. Medusa's attacks in this form consist of launching demonic projectiles and dangerous laser beams from her mouth and eye. After taking enough damage, her head will return to her body, allowing the angel to deliver the finishing blow.

==Epilogue==
Upon being defeated, Medusa disintegrates into dust, and her Underworld fortress begins to crumble. The game's credits begin to roll shortly after, only to be interrupted and torn off the screen by [[Hades]], who reveals himself not only as the one who revived Medusa, but is also the true mastermind behind the Underworld invasion. He declares that he will be a far bigger threat than Medusa, even comparing her to a "sweet, cuddly bunny", before bidding Pit and Palutena farewell. This event sets the game's second story arc into motion.

'''''The Space-Pirate Ship''''' is the eighth chapter in the storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. This mission introduces the [[Space Pirate]]s and their dangerous [[Space Pirate Ship]], which serves as the primary battleground of the chapter. [[Pit|Pit's]] goal in this part of the adventure is to take back the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], which have been stolen by the malicious pirates.
==Aerial Mission==
Pit will begin this mission in the [[Galactic Sea]], where star constellations are born and held in place. It isn't long before the Space Pirate Ship comes bursting out of this ocean and breaks one of the connecting lines of a nearby [[File:Starshipattack.jpg|left|thumb|Pit going against the Space Pirate Ship.]]constellation. Rather than fight, the Space Pirates will quickly pilot their ship into the distance, with Pit giving chase. [[Palutena]] claims that the pirates somehow got a hold of the Three Sacred Treasures during their travels, becoming a target of the [[Underworld]] army as a result. What begins as a pursuit turns into a frantic race against [[Medusa|Medusa's minions]] as they attempt to break into the Space Pirate Ship while it begins utilizing its many laser cannons, turning the area around it into a chaotic battlefield. Eventually, Palutena will find an entrance for Pit to infiltrate inside the spacecraft.

==Ground Mission==
The ground mission features a three-way battles between Pit, the Underworld army, and the powerful crew of the ship itself. During the mission, Pit will come across the Space Pirate Captain, who will use a special horn to summon Space Pirates to battle Pit and the Underworld forces. Some notable areas have been seen within the massive ship, such as a storage room where the pirates keep the constellations that they have captured. About halfway through the level, there is a room containing a Hot Spring and a lone Space Pirate soaking in it- hang around in the Hot Spring long enough and a Treasure Chest containing Hearts will appear. In addition to the areas located within the Space Pirate's craft, Pit will also travel extensively along the outside of its hull by using [[Grind Rail]]s set up by Palutena, as well as numerous celestial pathways that form along the ship itself.

===[[Intensity Gate]]s===
The Intensity Gate can be found after encountering the first [[Belunka]], but just before entering the room with the stored constellations. When facing straight at the door leading to the room with the stored constellations, look right to find it. The Intensity Gate has an intensity of 6.0, and inside is a treasure box that contains a weapon in it.

==Boss Battle==
[[File:Squidboss.jpg|thumb|232px|Pit facing the Space Kraken.]]
The boss of this chapter is a mighty [[Space Kraken]], accidentally summoned by the Space Pirate Captain when he was trying to call his crew. The creature uses its tentacles to attack while keeping its head underwater. In order to strike at its head, Pit will have to cause enough damage to these tentacles to bring the rest of its body up.

Once its head is up, the Kraken utilizes many new attacks, many of which involve lasers or projectiles. It fires a large blue laser in one of two ways- either straight ahead or sweeping from left to right or right to left. With proper timing, both of these attacks are easy to dodge. It is also capable of firing a storm of lasers from its eyes- these lasers fly at Pit in a random pattern, making them difficult to avoid, especially at closer ranges. It also has an attack where it shoots several large balls of energy from its mouth in quick succession. If Pit is close enough, the Kraken may occasionally lunge its entire head onto the deck in an attempt to crush him- because Pit has to be close enough to the Kraken for it to use this attack and it lunges quickly, this attack is ''very'' difficult, if not impossible, to avoid.

==Trivia==
*The aerial portion of this chapter likely drew conceptual inspiration from the Halberd and its respective stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Similarities include the way the camera moves around the ship to emphasize its massive structure and the fact that both crafts use a burst of jet propulsion at the start of the stage. The two ships are also armed with numerous laser turrets and have massive wings for flight.
*Oddly, Reapettes will be encountered and fought during this mission, despite there being no visible [[Reaper]]s nearby. This is a first for the series, as Reapettes would never appear unless a Reaper in the vicinity summoned them.
*There are two ways a particular section of the aerial portion of the level can play out. If Pit is within the top half of the screen when the pirate ship is first about to emerge from the Galactic Sea, the ship will pass right by Pit and speed off. Inversely, if Pit is within the lower half of the screen at this time, the ship will pop up and nearly crush Pit, sending him below the "waterline" to avoid being hit. Pit will then give chase underneath the sea for a while before being brought above the surface again. Also, the music is altered to sound muffled while he is underwater, returning to normal when he resurfaces.

The Return of Palutena

{{ChapterBox
|name= The Return of Palutena

|locations= [[Town|That First Town]]

}}

'''''The Return of Palutena''''' is the first chapter in the main storyline of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It introduces the player to the three main characters of the game: [[Pit]] himself, the goddess [[Palutena]], and the main antagonist, [[Medusa]]. This chapter also helps to explain the controls to the player, as well as the mission at hand.
==Aerial Mission==
The first part of the chapter will have Pit flying though the blue skies, where the player will be introduced to some basic enemies while Palutena explains the situation of Medusa being reborn. After the explanation of how to fight in the air, Medusa herself will appear before Pit but will not attack directly. Instead, she taunts both Pit and Palutena about celebrating her revival by slaughtering all of the humans in the [[town]] below, before disappearing. Palutena will lead Pit to ground level to search for the town, all the while being attacked by Underworld troops sent by Medusa. During this time, Palutena will also explain the [[Power of Flight]], which is her ability to guide Pit through the skies under a time limit of five minutes. Upon reaching the town, it is clear that the Underworld army has already begun its rampage as many buildings in the area burn. Confetti appears in the air and Pit will then proceed to fly down to ground level; not before stating that the people of the town are cheering for the return of Palutena.

==Ground Mission==
Upon reaching the ground, Palutena will explain the control scheme once again. Pit will have to proceed through the streets of the town, but will now be in full control of his movement. Underworld troops are everywhere, and are just as dangerous on the ground as they are in the air. Pit must battle through the streets and defeat all of the enemies. After a while, Medusa will unleash Twinbellows, which jumpes towards the colosseum, defeating any enemies in its way and then sets the colosseum ablaze. Pit must then make his way to the structure to face the boss of the mission. A multitude of staircases lead up to the colosseum, lined with various enemies. As Pit makes his way to the top, a giant metal ball will roll back down the staircases after him, defeating any enemies in the way. Once Pit makes it past all of these obstacles, he will be free to enter the colosseum itself and face the boss. A hidden treasure box will appear if pit goes between the two staircases that lead up to the colosseum and defeats the [[Wave Angler]] in the gap.

=== [[Intensity Gate]]s ===
Only one Intensity Gate is located here, requiring the Fiend's Cauldron to be set at 5.0 or higher. This Gate will allow Pit to battle a powerful miniboss known as a [[Crawler]], which resembles a massive tank that has a weak spot on its back. It will be accompanied by two [[Gyrazer]]s. The reward for defeating them is a Treasure Box and three food items.

[[File:Twinbellows_Uprising.jpg|thumb|216px|Pit facing [[Twinbellows]].]]

==Boss Battle==
The boss of this chapter is [[Twinbellows]], the two-headed guard dog of the Underworld. It was summoned by Medusa as a flaming ball of fire to secure her hold on the town. Twinbellows moves very fast in battle and becomes tougher as its health is depleted. Also, many of its attacks can cause [[Status Ailments|burns]]. Both heads are capable of either shooting multiple flaming projectiles, or breathing one large stream of fire. It can also attack with its claws and can swing its tail when Pit uses melee attacks. However, Twinbellows' most dangerous attack is when it charges directly at Pit, a maneuver it can repeat at four times. The amount of times it uses this attack depends on the boss's health and the intensity he is faced on. Fortunately, after Twinbellows uses this move, it will hit its head on the wall of the colosseum, making it vulnerable for Pit to attack. When the beast is defeated a cutscene is shown where Pit is warning Medusa that he's coming for her next.

}}'''''Kid Icarus''''', known in Japan as '''''Light Myth: Palthena's Mirror''''' (光神話パルテナの鏡 ''Hikari Shinwa Parutena no Kagami''), is a video game released for the [[Nwiki:NES|Famicom]] in 1986, and the [[Nwiki:NES|NES]] in 1987. It features [[Pit]], the main protagonist of the series. ''Kid Icarus'' had two successors, ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'', and ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. ''Kid Icarus'' re-released on multiple Nintendo consoles and also has a 3DS Remake, ''[[3D Classics: Kid Icarus]]''. Much like ''Metroid'', the game featured saving through the use of [[password]]s.
==Plot==
There once existed a land where man and gods coexisted peacefully. This place was known as [[Angel Land]]. This land was ruled by two beautiful goddesses: [[Palutena]], the Goddess of Light and [[Medusa]], the Goddess of Darkness. While Palutena loved the mortals and helped them cultivate their crops, Medusa despised them. In her hatred for them, she destroyed the crops that the mortals toiled to grow, and turned humans into stone. Enraged, Palutena turned Medusa into a hideous monster and banished her into the [[Underworld]].

Medusa would not go quietly, however. She began building an army of demons and monsters. With this army, she broke out of the Underworld and waged war against Palutena's army. The latter's army suffered many casualties and Palutena herself was imprisoned in the [[Palace in the Sky]].

Meanwhile, a young angel named Pit was trapped in the Underworld. Using the last of her power, Palutena granted Pit a magical [[Bow]] and entrusted him with the duty of defeating Medusa and saving Angel Land. To do this, however, Pit would have to reclaim the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]. These sacred items rightfully belonged to Palutena, but Medusa stole them and gave them to her three most powerful minions. Pit would have to escape the Underworld, which would prove easy since most of Medusa's forces were in the Palace in the Sky. Pit must also travel through two other realms, the [[Overworld]] and the [[Skyworld]], before reaching the Palace in the Sky.

The game also has five different endings, depending on how well the player did throughout the game. In the NES version, the "worst" ending has Pit rewarded only a helmet, while in the "best" ending, he becomes an adult and receives a kiss from Palutena. In the Famicom version, Pit is turned into a [[Specknose]] for the "worst" ending, and becomes a grownup in the "best" ending, but does not receive a kiss from Palutena.
==Gameplay==
''Kid Icarus'' is a side-scrolling platformer, though the last stage undergoes a genre shift and becomes a side-scrolling shooter, with a small looping twist.

Pit's arrows have only a short range and he has a jump height of about three times his height; despite having wings, he cannot fly naturally. He can crouch to avoid enemies and even move while crouching at the same speed (which looks rather comical, even more so when under the Eggplant Curse). However, there are many platforms, such as ice and clouds, that Pit will fall through should he crouch while standing on them. Being damaged will result in a small amount of knockback and very brief invulnerability (even less so when standing on a damage tile, such as lava). Pit can walk behind certain objects, such as pillars and plants, but this won't protect him from being damaged by an enemy.

Pit starts off with one block of health that contains 7 Hit Points. He can earn more blocks, each of which contain 8 additional HP, upon reaching certain score values:
* Level 2: 20,000
* Level 3: 50,000
* Level 4: 100,000
* Level 5: 200,000

All weapons require Pit to be at a certain "experience level" in order for them to activate, and have full health for that bar, so a high score is a must. The first weapon (after being obtained) activates when Pit reaches two bars, the second weapon requires three, and the third weapon needs a total of four full health bars to activate. Once activated, a weapon stays active even if Pit should fall below the required health level needed to activate it.

Pit's mission will take him through four worlds, each with four stages culminating in an intimidating [[Fortress]]. Here, Pit must defeat the guardian and obtain the Sacred Treasure. In the last area, Pit must fly through the remaining forces of [[Medusa]]. After defeating Medusa, Pit will restart the game at level 1-1; however, his score, weapons, hearts, level, strength, and Credit Card debt all remain intact, making the next playthrough much easier (especially since the Sacred Chamber in 1-1 will now likely grant Pit a strength upgrade if he's not already at 5). However, any password for 1-1 will override Pit's status and restart the game as though it were a new one. Therefore, players should proceed to 1-2 before acquiring the password.

===Rooms===
Pit's quest will allow him to explore many chambers. Once Pit leaves a room it's forever sealed, with the exception of Fortress rooms. They include:
* [[Enemy Lair]]
* [[Hospital]]
* [[Hot Springs]]
* [[Sacred Chamber]]
* [[Sacred Training Chamber]]
* [[Store]]
* [[Treasure Chamber]]

===Items===
Pit has a variety of items at his disposal. Some are earned in [[Sacred Training Chamber]]s, others discovered in [[Treasure Chamber]]s, others must be bought with [[Heart]]s in a variety of [[Store]]s.

====Weapons====
[[File:Sacred_Weapons.png|right|thumb|The three weapons.]]
Pit's weapons do not necessarily activate when obtained; they require him to reach a certain level of health before they'll activate automatically (which in turn requires him to increase his level; see the Gameplay section above). Pit must reach 15 HP to activate the first weapon he picks up. The second weapon requires 23 Hit Points, the third demands 31.

* [[Arrow of Strength]]
* [[Fire Arrow]]
* [[Protective Crystal]]
* [[Sacred Bow]]

====Regular Items====
* [[Angel's Feather]]
* [[Credit Card]]

* [[Mallet]]

====[[Fortress]] Items====
Fortress items disappear when Pit leaves the Fortress that they were found in.
* [[Torch]]
* [[Pencil]]
* [[Check Sheet]]

====Recovery Items====
* [[Water of Life]]
* [[Water Barrel]]

===Enemies===
Pit will encounter a vast variety of monsters in his quest, including Fortress guardians protecting the [[Sacred Casket]].

====[[Underworld]]====
* [[Commyloose]]
* [[Ganewmede]]
* [[Kobil]]
* [[McGoo]]
* [[Monoeye]]

==Trivia==
===Mythology===
The universe of ''Kid Icarus'' borrows heavily from Greco-Roman mythology, as is evidenced by the items, monsters, and characters within. The story itself is (very) loosely based on the legend of Perseus, a human youth who made the dangerous boast of being able to kill Medusa. Aided by Athena, and a few fetch-quests to obtain powerful magic items later ([[Mirror Shield]] included), he finally slew her.

The appellation "Icarus" is from a story of a separate youth, the titular son of the famous inventor and genius Daedalus. While kept prisoner, Daedalus created set of human-sized wings, crafted from wooden strats with bird feathers stuck to the frame by wax. Icarus borrowed the wingframe and flew high into the sky, over the seas. Though Daedalus warned his son not to fly too high to the sun, Icarus disobeyed him and kept flying higher. The intense heat from the sun melted the wax binding the feathers to the frame and Icarus fell, dashing himself upon the ocean and dying instantly.

===Metroid===
''Kid Icarus'' was released on the same day as ''Metroid'' and functions on the same game engine. ''Kid Icarus'' even includes an enemy from ''Metroid'', a [[Komayto]] which is said to have come from another planet. Unlike ''Kid Icarus'', the ''Metroid'' series has been highly successful, with several sequels on many different consoles.

RicketyTrigger: /* Image Consideration */

==Welcome==
Welcome to the Wiki! --[[User:Starphoria|Starphoria]] 08:28, 14 January 2012 (MST)

==Favor==
Hi, as seen [http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links here], there are files to be moved over, do you mind assisting in moving these files from the old wiki? --[[User:Starphoria|Starphoria]] 11:28, 14 January 2012 (MST)

== Greetings once again! ==

How are you liking the structure of this new site? I'm starting to get fairly used to it, but it definitely seems a bit more complex than the wikia version. By the way, have you read this preview? http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/impressions/29006

I should warn you that it has some spoilers, one of which is actually really shocking and unexpected. We should have spoiler warnings available on here soon, so if you do read it, don't post this info just yet. Anyways, I'm liking how great everything is looking in the game! Do you still think we should schedule an online battle with the other wiki members when the game finally arrives? --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 22:26, 24 January 2012 (MST)

:Yeah, I'm still trying to adjust here, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it sooner or later. Yes, this game is shaping up to be awesome. My only concern is whether or not this game will do well commercially (after all, it's Nintendo franchise without the word 'Mario' or 'Pokemon' in it, but I'm confident Nintendo will advertise it thoroughly). And holy crap, I totally did not see that coming regarding Gaol. Sounds like a huge Metroid reference Sakurai threw in there. Also about the online battles, yes, we should schedule them soon. I can tell the others about it on Skype (are you on the Icaruspedia Skype chatroom?). We will try our best to find an appropriate date for most of the members on this site. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 01:33, 25 January 2012 (MST)-

::Yes, this game actually has quite a few Metroid references, huh? I even heard that the Star Pirates might officially be named Space Pirates, since it's what most reviewers are calling them. I also wonder if this means that the dark lord has a different name. Dark Mistress Gaolita, perhaps?? Either way, I think this game will do great if Nintendo creates a demo for it. And this shouldn't just be any normal demo. It should be one of those demos Nintendo mentioned that would automatically download to any systems with an Internet connection. I know they talked about this feature at some point, and this would be the perfect opportunity to test it out. By the way, did you say you know someone who can translate some Japanese, as the official site updated with A LOT of written information just recently. It shows a really cool-looking Pirate Cannon as well! Oh, and I don't have a Skype account at this time.

::WOW, and loads of artwork too! http://www.flickr.com/photos/25792657@N00/sets/72157629044571589/ --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 14:23, 26 January 2012 (MST)

::: Absolutely, a demo is a must for this game. I wouldn't be surprised if the woman is Magnus' daughter or wife or something cause he's supposed to have some kind of connection to Gaol, so he may already know Gaol is female. My theory is that the Underworld Army probably kidnapped and brainwashed the lady, and Magnus is possibly trying to save her. But I can already imagine Pit's reaction to finding out Gaol's true identity XD. I'll see if my friend is willing to translate all the new info on the Japanese website (or maybe you want specific info translated?). I'm going to see him this Sunday, but I can't guarantee he'll do it, cause he doesn't really care for video games, but I'll try my best to convince him. Also, the Mimicutie thing gave me a good laugh. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 18:20, 26 January 2012 (MST)-

:::: Leave it to Sakurai to stick female legs onto a Treasure Chest, and also to place one inside a fish! I wish we could post these artworks, but I'm not sure if its allowed because of the whole copyright thing with Flickr. Not sure how that works if the artwork still technically belongs to Nintendo. Anyways, no pressure with translating the stuff on the website. I believe most of it is supposed to be Sakurai's thoughts on the game, rather than any information about the game itself anyways. As for the whole Gaol thing, Magnus still says he's in it for reward money, although he seems like the type of character that would make stuff up to hide his more sensitive side, I suppose. I certainly look forward to finding out in the near future. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 19:22, 26 January 2012 (MST)

Sorry, I actually didn't find out about the copyright thing until after I posted the link. I honestly don't think it's a big deal since they shouldn't be able to claim a copyright for Nintendo's artwork, at least as far as I know. It might just be some kind of rule for the site itself. For now, we could ask an admin about this and see if they think it's okay to use these. If it won't work, we can simply remove them from the pages for now and repost them when the images become more widespread over the Internet. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 20:12, 26 January 2012 (MST)
:Well if that's the case, it shouldn't be a big deal, but I'll learn to be more careful next time! Now that I've taken a much more closer look at the artwork, I think I know who the artist is. I think its Hirooka Masaki: http://www.backfire.jp. He also did artwork for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. If it is him, I'm glad Sakurai chose him for the job, his artwork is really nice. However I'm still curious who the composer is. My best guess for now is Shogo Sakai. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 21:08, 26 January 2012 (MST)-
::Yes, I actually just sent a request for the artwork to the site itself. If they don't allow it, we can simply remove the images for now. I sure hope they are okay with it, because the images look so ridiculously glorious on this wiki! I'm not familiar at all with the artist or the composer, but what I do know is that whoever they may be, they're EXTREMELY talented.

::Yeah, these images are already beginning to appear on other sites anyways, some of which we haven't even seen before, like this: http://nintendoeverything.com/81799/lots-of-kid-icarus-uprising-art/?pid=20379 --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 21:17, 26 January 2012 (MST)
:::So I guess is it okay to use them or should we still wait? -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 22:18, 26 January 2012 (MST)-
::::It should actually be okay, since these were all sent out by Nintendo of Europe. Some sites have said they only posted these pictures on Flickr because there were so many, that it crashed their own gallery pages. I'm not surprised, as I found the gold mine of media right here. Over 600 images and artwork: http://www.flickr.com/photos/abriael/sets/72157629043030453/

== Dark Pit Theory? ==

Huh, that's funny, this guy sounds a lot like me. Oh wait a minute...

By the way, you must check out the brilliance of the Eggplant Wizard page! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 18:48, 31 January 2012 (MST)

:Indeed, you can sort of see the structural similarities between my names DoctorFantastic and MrMindFormula, eh? Honestly, I'm not sure where I got the latter one from, though...
:Anyways, I'm glad to see this trailer translated, especially because there appears to be a hidden villain within the dialogue. Notice that someone says "Come on then, servent of the goddess!" in a voice that doesn't match Dark Pit or any other revealed villain for that matter? Apparently, we'll also have to save deities that have fallen to the Underworld Army, so perhaps we'll see good ol' Zeus along with some other gods! Very interesting... --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 09:34, 1 February 2012 (MST)
::Eh, for this type of game, I'm not sure if other angelic characters would be necessary at this time. If this game becomes successful though, they can surely expand on the series' mythology with future installments, including the addition of a more angelic population in Skyworld. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 23:31, 3 February 2012 (MST)
:::Well, who knows. We may see more angels in the final release yet. On another note, THIS has me very excited: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/29181 Seriously, if this is true, this could possibly be one of the most content-rich portable games ever! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 13:56, 4 February 2012 (MST)

:::::It's actually pretty common for game companies to patent certain elements and ideas, almost to the point of absurdity. However, this actually seems like a fairly unique idea. I've yet to hear of a game that has weapon fusing. Upgrading, customizing, and collecting maybe, but never weapon fusing. Hope this idea is well executed, anyways! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 19:25, 5 February 2012 (MST)

== Chocolate? ==

You want to talk about interesting news, just look at this: http://andriasang.com/comzxr/kid_icarus_snacks/images/23r9h/

Now, while the whole AR cards packaged with chocolate thing is rather strange in itself, take a look at the cards shown in the advertisement. I think I see some new characters in there! We need a higher resolution picture FAST. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 00:57, 12 February 2012 (MST)
:Oh my gosh, this reminds me of my childhood when my brother and I used to buy this Pokemon bread that contained stickers of Pokemon. Anyways, is that Zeus I see there? And the card next to the Big Reaper looks like some kind of bird or dragon, and that one next to Dark Pit looks like Medusa with a fancier artwork. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 01:33, 12 February 2012 (MST)-
::Pokemon....bread? Aahh, Nintendo. Always promoting their franchises in the most unusual ways. I think the one with Medusa is supposed to be her astral projection, and this is like her third card as well. I doubt the robed one is Zeus, simply because I'm almost sure he'd be allied with Palutena rather than Unaffiliated, but I suppose anything is possible at this point. That last one on the other hand I can't figure out at all. I hope Nintendo releases a larger picture, because I have a feeling we've barely scratched the surface in terms of characters and villains in this game.

::By the way, someone posted a full video of the first chapter at its best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W11igiBtmFc --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 12:21, 12 February 2012 (MST)
:::Well, the robed one may not be Zeus, but it certainly looks like some kind of god, or maybe a human king. I'm pretty sure the green one is some sort of avian creature. It looks like it has two big wings. Maybe if Nintendo won't upload more AR cards until release date, we may be lucky enough that Sakurai uploads a few new ones on his Twitter before them. If there are this many characters in this game, I can't imagine how many chapters there are. And thanks for the video. Too bad they didn't play Chaper 2 or 3. Probably to avoid spoilers.-[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 13:08, 12 February 2012 (MST)-
::::Yeah, and I must say, I'm not as pleased with how the chapter art is laid out in the final version. I liked when it had the artwork of the chapter's key characters featured on the images, like in the E3 demo. But it's a minor gripe, and I still like how the overall Arm's Altar menu looks. In terms of characters, I hope we also get an in-game appearance from a monster I like to call Veggiephemus, the plant cyclops that will appear in the Kid Icarus Anime shorts. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 15:41, 12 February 2012 (MST)
:::::I agree, the chapter layout is pretty plain compared to the demos. I really want to see the anime shorts, especially the one about Medusa. I would like some proper backstory for her. We don't even know why she hates humans. Speaking of which, would you like to see a proper Kid Icarus anime series in the near future? I would certainly love to. I think it should be a prequel to Uprising because just copy and pasting Uprising's plot wouldn't be that original or exciting. But it begs the question if the series should be considered canon or not. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 21:50, 12 February 2012 (MST)-
::::::Yeah, and I want to see the one about Thanatos, mainly because I want to actually see the character in action. Seriously, he looks like a fish! An awesome fish! A fishy god, if you will. A full animated series would also be excellent, but first we must see how successful the game itself will be. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 23:41, 12 February 2012 (MST)

== Pretty awesome trailer! ==

Today's trailer really showed off some cool stuff, huh? I like how this game is not only based on mythology, but also has numerous biblical references, first with the Babel Club and now a recreation of the parting of the Red Sea! Speaking of which, I wonder if there is a chance that we'll be seeing a character based on Poseidon since the Seafloor Palace is supposed to be underwater? I also wonder if they really showed off the final boss battle at the end, because it seems rather unusual that Nintendo would spoil something like that, at least this far from release. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 19:25, 17 February 2012 (MST)
:Yes, indeed it was. I'm also surprised by the large number of biblical references, but it's a pretty nice touch. I've been thinking the same thing that there could be some kind of sea god like Poseidon/Neptune. I highly doubt that was the final boss. I don't think Nintendo has ever revealed the final boss fight for any of their games before release. It's probably a half-way-through-the-game Medusa boss fight, sort of like in some Mario games, you fight Bowser several times as you progress and as a final boss. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 20:22, 17 February 2012 (MST)-
::I was sort of thinking that, too. But wow, is that gonna be some boss fight! I wouldn't have guessed that Medusa's astral projection represented her actual size. I mean, she's almost twice as tall as the Big Reaper, who was already enormous to begin with. Pit also looks awesome wearing the Three Sacred Treasures, and it looks like he gains unlimited flight whilst he is wearing them. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 22:00, 17 February 2012 (MST)
:::It's hard to say if that's really Medusa's true size or not. After all, she is a goddess so she can probably change her physical size on her own will. For the real final boss fight, I want Pit to fight her normal sized, because I want to see the two clash swords (or whatever weapon they prefer) together, but that's probably just me. Yes, Pit's armor looks awesome, I hope they release an equally awesome official artwork of him equipped with the Three Sacred Treasures. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 22:30, 17 February 2012 (MST)-
::::I wouldn't be surprised, as they seem to want to adapt everything that isn't a menu item into artwork of sorts. Even the locations have been hand drawn, which shows some great dedication. If the final Medusa fight does have her normal sized, I hope it's a two part battle with her transforming into some kind of beast similar to her monster form for the second part. That would be pretty snazzy, and we all know how Sakurai likes making excellent final boss fights, with Marx, Master Hand, Tabuu, and Nightmare all being prime examples. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 22:42, 17 February 2012 (MST)
:::::I would <s>kill somebody</s> love for an official artbook to be released for this game via Club Nintendo. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 23:15, 17 February 2012 (MST)-
::::::Yes, it would have to be a pretty large artbook with how much artwork there is. And congratulations on getting the Editor-in-Chief position! Now our staff roster will be complete when we become a part of NIWA. Oh, and one more thing, did they REALLY change Magnus' name to Magna?? I was hoping Nintendo of America just messed up the spelling, because that would simply be outrageous if they changed it to Magna when Magnus was already a perfecly suitable name. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 17:10, 18 February 2012 (MST)
:::::::Thanks, but I feel like I won't be keeping the position for too long, cause I'll be very busy within the next month. Well, that's what the American site calls him. If it is a spelling error, I don't know how the heck they managed to misspell Magnus with Magna. You'd think they would at least double check the spelling before submitting it. But I'll be mad either way, cause I already changed everything to Magna. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 17:18, 18 February 2012 (MST)
::::::::Hopefully someone is consulting Nintendo about this. Unfortunately, it seems likely that they did change the name since they have yet to edit the spelling after so much time has passed, not to mention mistakes like this are extremely rare. In this case, I suppose I'll update the Chapter artwork soon, and if it actually was a mistake, we can just revert all of the edits and the picture change. I also don't think the other staff mambers will mind if you're unavailable for a while, although you should still mention it to them if you haven't already. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 17:32, 18 February 2012 (MST)

== Re: Question ==

Thanks for the link, but I can't believe that there is actually a shrimp tempura monster! That's so crazy, and yet I still find it so clever! He even has a staff and little shrimp-like legs. He's the tastiest looking monster I've ever seen! I wonder if he's actually going to be a major yet comical villain? Okay, all of that madness aside, the images have been coming from the game's Japanese Twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/3DS_Palutena. It's almost like a Kid Icarus version of the Smash Bros. Dojo with daily updates, and the translations usually come later on the UK Twitter account. By the way, Pandora's been confirmed to return at last, and there's new images of the anime shorts on the Twitter account as well! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 21:40, 5 March 2012 (MST)
:If that's the case, I have no idea what other images you speak of. Pandora appears on an AR Card image circulating the Web, but unfortunately she's mostly covered by another card, although her name can be seen here: http://neogaf.net/forum/showthread.php?t=464825&page=5. Hey, I bet that shrimp guy is the cousin of the Eggplant Wizard or something. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 22:01, 5 March 2012 (MST)
::Some fantastic news from the Official Nintendo Magazine's review: "The single player campaign is '''huge''', for a start, and it sits alongside two full-featured local and online multiplayer modes [offering] countless equippable weapons and powers that work across both." My fears of a short story mode have certainly been alleviated. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 10:00, 6 March 2012 (MST)

== Indeed ==

Eh, I always thought that my theory would be a bit too complex for Nintendo to consider, but it was enjoyable speculation nonetheless. And there is certainly no doubt that it is the same mirror, which I am guessing reveals the dark side of those who look into it (hence the creation of Dark Pit). What is also worth noting is that the card with Pandora seems to show that same mirror in the background, meaning she could possibly be part of this madness as well (being the goddess of disaster, I wouldn't at all be surprised). In addition, there seems to be a new card class with a symbol that resembles a Pokeball inside a gear, which also fascinates me. Do you want to know what really annoys me? This: http://www.gonintendo.com/content/uploads/images/2012_3/KI%20Starter%20Pack.jpg

I have been waiting to see Thanatos' brilliant full design for quite some time, only for them to post a picture of his card covered by other cards?? I think they specifically and intentionally wanted to annoy me with anticipation, first with Pandora and now this! At least his transformation card gives us a glimpse of his awesome and fashionable genie pants.

EDIT: Well, you should check out the new trailer on the Japanese website, as some of the above questions have been answered! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 23:38, 7 March 2012 (MST)
:Hey, do you think the voice at the beginning of the trailer is Zeus? I don't know who else it could be, and he certainly sounds fantastic and powerful! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 16:16, 8 March 2012 (MST)
::Yes, the trailer was amazing, and all of the English voices sound great, especially Thanatos and Pandora! I think that other dialogue was just Dark Pit talking in a rowdy voice, but I could be wrong. As for the two articles you mentioned, it's safe to say they are the same character, so the articles should be merged. I never really noticed before, but Tanatos only ever appeared one at a time, so perhaps it was portrayed as a sort of character originally. I'm also still wondering how long the game actually is, as I think these bosses cover the first eight chapters in order: Twinbellows, Dark Lord Gaol, Hewdraw, Big Reaper, Pandora, Dark Pit, Thanatos, and the Space Kraken. This is a guess, anyways. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 16:38, 8 March 2012 (MST)
:::I'm thinking Dark Pit first comes in right after Pandora's defeat, as it is shown very briefly in the trailer. Pit then pursues him for the first time in the following chapter, because I'm pretty sure a reviewer stated that chapter 6 has Dark Pit as the boss. Still not completely sure, though. Hopefully another chapter name will be revealed soon enough. By the way, I found a picture of AR cards with one that just says "Gaol", so its probably her human form. Unfortunately, they once again covered the picture...
:::It also still shows that she's allied with Underworld forces; how much do you wanna bet that Gaol is Magnus' evil sister? --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 16:56, 8 March 2012 (MST)

== Surprised in a fantastic way ==

I remembered hearing somewhere that he denied voicing Pit, but these actors certainly sound great as they are. Especially Thanatos, as he sounds like both Ed Wynn (an old comedian and actor) and Chef Kawasaki from the Kirby anime series, which automatically makes him excellent. If you noticed, they also had a new piece of music in the short, and since all of the other tracks came from the game, I can't wait to see where it will appear! I also hope this short is based on a chapter in the game, because flying around those Trojan horse walkers would be awesome. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 19:41, 8 March 2012 (MST)

== I don't know about you.... ==

:That's fine, I remember that you mentioned you were going to be busy in March, and since we are finally receiving quite a few new members, the wiki should have little trouble staying up to date.

::There was something BIG just revealed. Have you heard about it??--[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 12:06, 18 March 2012 (MDT)

== Welcome Back! ==

So you went to Indonesia, eh? That sounds fantastic! I've always wanted to go there myself, mainly because I have a great interest in Komodo dragons. Anyways, I'm very sorry if you hadn't wanted those spoilers revealed, but the best I could do when posting this information was to use the spoiler template, even though it doesn't really hide the text at all (like they often do on other wikis). Even I regret spoiling myself to this info, but it kinda came up unexpectedly. However, I am actually proud of both Sakurai and Nintendo for this major twist in the story, because it is one that I would have NEVER anticipated. When advertising and promoting this game for the past couple of years, so much of the focus was on Medusa and her minions, that it was incredibly surprising to see the game suddenly explode into a greatly expanded ''Kid Icarus'' universe after her defeat. And there's still A LOT we don't know, 25 chapters worth! And I was thinking that 24 would be pushing it, yet the game actually surpassed that number! Okay, all of that excitement aside, I really wish those videos hadn't been removed, as they were incredible. At one point, Pit was flying right above an army of hundreds of individual soldiers and horsemen with molten rocks flying everywhere. It made the war scene in chapter 2 look peaceful in comparison! Hopefully, people will start uploading these videos again soon, because even a few days is going to be a tremendous wait. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 22:41, 20 March 2012 (MDT)
:Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip! Sounds like it was quite an adventure. As for Dark Pit, one person who has the game hinted that he is not as bad as he seems, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him. And a reviewer said that Hades is comparable to the best Disney villains, which excites me greatly because I really like Disney. I think the intent with downgrading Medusa was to show that she's no longer the only big baddie of the ''Kid Icarus'' series (besides Orcos), but I'm sure this won't be the last time we see her if Nintendo continues the franchise. Also, her stage looks like it will be incredibly epic in and of itself, making it feel like a true final battle despite there being more story thereafter. Out of all the characters old and new, I personally want her the most in the next Smash Bros. game because she is so unique for a Nintendo villain. Also, Viridi literally looks and sounds like an almighty, demented spoiled brat, who treats humans as if they were nothing more than little toys that she can just use for target practice (at least from what I've seen of her so far). She's also awesomely unique for this very reason. The Star Wars level is really cool as well, and Pit has some funny dialogue, including a short victory song. Beyond this, I've heard that the story gets just plain outrageous the further you get into it. Also, there is one video that was left behind, but it mainly highlights some of the game's bizarre music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EMDpBQNe48 --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 23:55, 20 March 2012 (MDT)

:P.S. I really wish they had come up with a more creative name for Dark Pit's chapter instead of just "Dark Pit".
::Well, people have said there are still quite a few twists in the story, so I suppose both the Medusa and Hades theories are very possible. The latter, however, might be a bit deep even by Sakurai standards, similar to my original Dark Pit theory being a bit too complex. We'll find out soon enough, though. Also, I can see Medusa becoming the "Ridley" of the Kid Icarus series, in that she keeps coming back as a recurring villain, yet by far will still be the most popular even compared to whatever new major villains pop up. In my opinion, she still has the best updated design of any retro Nintendo character I've ever seen. By the way, have you heard of the new information about Gaol? It's actually pretty deep. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 00:30, 21 March 2012 (MDT)
:::I think Pit's just to young to fly on his own. Then again, we have no idea how he even ages. For all we know, 25 human years could equal 1 angel year, but hopefully this will get cleared up at some point. As for Gaol, and I warn you that this is also spoilerish (but not relevant to the bigger story as far as I know), she was apparently a mercenary that worked with Magnus, and was possibly his lover as well (throwing another theory of mine down the gutter). That isn't even the shocking part. Apparently, Magnus had a child that passed away prior to these events, and is possibly what caused Gaol to join Medusa's forces in the first place. I have a new theory that she allied herself with Medusa hoping that she could get her to spare her child's soul from the clutches of the Underworld, to which Magnus didn't agree with, causing their separation. Crazy stuff, and I bet that little girl on the AR card is this child, meaning there might be much more to this little side story than we first thought. --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 00:52, 21 March 2012 (MDT)
::::Even with the big revelation, there are still so many questions left to answer, like how Thanatos fits into all of this madness! And hey, did you know that being the god of death apparently gives you a great insurance plan, as well as all of the free soda you want? Yes, I can hardly wait. And here's another video of the first chapter, where Medusa's voice actually sounds improved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_64DOSkRUs --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 01:19, 21 March 2012 (MDT)

== Hello from the Strategy Wiki ==

We've made the guide for Kid Icarus: Uprising our Collaboration of the Month, and I was wondering if we could use resources from Icaruspedia to help build our guide. [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Kid_Icarus:_Uprising This] is what we have so far. As you can see, we desperately need info and images, and I thought that you might be able to help. Can we have your permission to use your wiki? Thanks.--[[User:Salnax|Salnax]] 18:40, 15 April 2012 (MDT)
:Yes, go on ahead. Just remember to credit us :) -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 23:12, 15 April 2012 (MDT)-

== Welcome back again! ==

Glad to see you've returned, although I understand if you're still gonna be busy for a while. I have beaten Uprising and it definitely exceeded my expectations, aside from a few minor disappointments that we can talk about later. The controls take some brief getting used to, but they practically became second nature to me a couple chapters in. Everything else is pretty much perfect in my opinion! Online multiplayer is also very fun and quite addicting, works much better than Brawl's. Hope you enjoy the game, as it's definitely one of the 3DS's best! --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 00:40, 16 April 2012 (MDT)
:This game does leave a lot up to the player's imagination, yet all of these unique characters will open up great possibilities for a sequel. My primary disappointment is that Zeus was completely excluded even though both Hades and Poseidon were added, so I'm hoping he will be reintroduced in a sequel as well. As for the Medusa/Hades thing, I personally think they're both great villains and hope to see them return in the future. I believe that Medusa will always come back one way or another, because she and Pit share a sort of rivalry connection that no other new villain could ever replace, similar to Mario/Bowser, Link/Gannondorf, Samus/Ridley, ect. Finally, I'm not at all disappointed with how Dark Pit's side of the story came out, because Sakurai did a great job twisting the whole dark twin cliché into something unique. Even though my "Twin Brother Theory" was quite wrong, in the end, they actually acted very brotherly towards each other. Long story short, it was a fantastic game, and I just hope it sells very well at this point. By the way, Hades pretty much obliterated the fourth wall in this game! I mean, did you wait 5 minutes after the end credits? --[[User:DoctorFantastic|DoctorFantastic]] 01:20, 21 April 2012 (MDT)
::Oh wow, I kinda died there. Sorry about that, more tests and big projects were in my hands, plus with some family problems. Well anyways, I did really like the game, those were just small nitpicks of mine so don't mind them. Kinda sad to hear there are currently no plans for a sequel. Would really love to play a brand new Kid Icarus game for the Wii U in beautiful HD on a big screen. I will definitely be more active during late June so no worries and I will try to remember to tell you guys if I ever do go on a bit of a hiatus next time. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 19:07, 4 June 2012 (MDT)-

==Hey==
It's been awhile since we talked :) It seems you are busy too, I've had a TON of exams in the last couple weeks, so I usually only check on the wiki every so often now. That should change during the summer though, I'll work on the AR Cards then. --[[User:Starphoria|'''Star''']][[User Talk:Starphoria|'''phoria''']] ([[Special:Contributions/Starphoria|C]]·[[Special:Editcount/Starphoria|E]]) 13:32, 11 May 2012 (MDT)
:Oh man, I'm very sorry I haven't been active for like over a month, and I also apologize for not telling sooner. I've been incredibly busy as well and some bad things have been happening to my relatives living in my home country.

== Concern for other users ==

Dear RicketyTrigger,

I'm writing this so as to bring to your attention the certain content and behavior newcomers on this Wiki are showing. Most are getting an account so as to create their own profile. No mainspace edits are done, only useless userspace edits. The saddest thing is the content these new members are posting. Not to go into detail, but the paragraphs and paragraphs of pointless pixels are to do with love and all sorts, NOT even with Nintendo or Kid Icarus. I strongly suggest you take action about this. One possible suggestion to go about this would be to take the ''Super Mario Wiki''s strict and sensible rules about these matters. Profiles can only be created once users are ''autoconfirmed'', and even when so, the profiles can only contain minimal content about non-related Nintendo subjects. Please, I beg of you, this Wiki is in need of serious maintenance, and simple rules like these are TOTALLY beneficial. I strongly suggest using the Mariowiki as an example.

Yours sincerely,

[[User:JORDAN DEBONO|JORDAN DEBONO]] 15:44, 1 July 2012 (MDT)
:Thanks for telling me this, I'll find a way to fix this problem as soon as possible. -[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 01:35, 20 July 2012 (MDT)-

== Skype ==

Dear RicketyTrigger,

I would like to be a part of the Skype chat of Icaruspedia. I have already contacted IceBlue and ToastUltimatum but none have an account unfortunately. Could you add me please. My username is ''pakonna'' and my Full name is ''Jordan DeBono''. Thank you for your time, [[User:JORDAN DEBONO|JORDAN DEBONO]] 15:26, 10 August 2012 (MDT)

== Emergency lockdown? ==

I've noticed that we've had to block almost 1,000 spambots since they started appearing a few months ago and they pop up too quickly for them to be blocked at this point; I've never seen anything like it before on any of the wikis I've used- it has to be some kind of coordinated attack. Although this may sound drastic, I suggest that we disable user registration until the spambots are eliminated for good; otherwise we'll eventually be overwhelmed by them completely. At the very least, we ought to require email confirmation for new users along with the autoconfirmation system suggested by JORDAN DEBONO. Whatever we do, we should do it quickly before it's too late.--[[User:Anothrgamer1234|Anothrgamer1234]] 20:10, 19 August 2012 (MDT)
:Well, it looks like we don't have many options right now, so I guess a temporary emergency lockdown is needed until the problems are solved. —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 22:05, 19 August 2012 (MDT)

== Options Menu/Together Mode and More ==

First off...we need to have pages for the Options menu, the Training Room/Waiting Room needs to have a page and the Together mode needs to have section for each mode (Gear; Nearby; Far Away; With Friends; With Anyone). For the Options menu, we include Controls (which may need another page since there are so many controls >_>), Profile, More Controls (listing Guide Arrow, Shot Homing, Aim Assist, and Autofire), and Hidden Options. Also I have been redirecting pages to the Powers article (e.g. Slip Shot goes to Powers#Slip Shot) and I think we should finish this, as well as doing the same for items. [[User:IceBlue|'''Ice''']][[User talk:IceBlue|'''Blue''']][[Special:Contributions/IceBlue|[C]]] 22:24, 21 September 2012 (MDT)
:Alright, I guess I can agree with most of these, but what do you mean by redirecting items? Items have their own separate articles unlike Powers. Unless you're talking about things like the Elemental Cards which come in different variaties. —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 22:48, 21 September 2012 (MDT)
::No creating the pages. The page [[Slip Shot]] was originally a red link before I created it (redirecting to Powers). And what should we do with the pages like [[Eggplant Bomb]]? They can't be greatly expanded on. Should we merge them into an Items page (we should make one regardless)? [[User:IceBlue|'''Ice''']][[User talk:IceBlue|'''Blue''']][[Special:Contributions/IceBlue|[C]]] 22:51, 21 September 2012 (MDT)
:::I understand the Power part. But I guess some of the items should be merged onto a single page. All bombs/explosives such as the Eggplant Bomb, Tempura Bomb, X-Bomb, Gilded Bomb, Grenade, etc. could be on one page. And other offensive weapons such as the Lightning of Judgement and Atlas Foot could be on another. But I think the Daybreak is special enough to get its own page. —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 22:58, 21 September 2012 (MDT)
:Ok Let's put the merge templates on them. [[User:IceBlue|'''Ice''']][[User talk:IceBlue|'''Blue''']][[Special:Contributions/IceBlue|[C]]] 13:56, 22 September 2012 (MDT)

== Channel ==

Do you want to make this official: [irc://irc.gamesurge.net/kidicaruswiki #kidicaruswiki]. It would be nice to have a community chat, so we can discuss proposals (like the Mergings I was talking about) as well as policies which we need to create soon. We can't forget to add Special:Webchat to the special pages. [[User:IceBlue|'''Ice''']][[User talk:IceBlue|'''Blue''']][[Special:Contributions/IceBlue|[C]]] 19:09, 22 September 2012 (MDT)

== Image Consideration ==

This image may pose an issue with our policies:
[[File:SyrenPict.png|100px]]
{{clr}}
The image is cropped, so it isn't official artwork, but the full image shows nudity (as mentioned in the trivia for the page). Should this wiki be censored in that aspect or not? I think the image should be shown since it ''is'' official artwork and I don't believe younger users will have an issue with that (I don't know if they are even users under 13 here). If you want the full image [http://www.kidicarus.wikia.com Divinipedia] has one. [[User:IceBlue|'''Ice''']][[User talk:IceBlue|'''Blue''']][[Special:Contributions/IceBlue|[C]]] 20:58, 1 October 2012 (MDT)
: Sorry to butt in, but I would find the full image to be fine. It's official artwork and the nudity is tasteful. If there are concerns on appropriateness, we can use the current thumbnail to link to the full image so that way potentially-offensive content isn't out in the open but is still available. Either way, I'll leave the final decision to RicketyTrigger on this one. [[User:Maxite|Maxite]] 02:19, 2 October 2012 (MDT)
::I personally never had a problem with the nude Syren artwork. I'm pretty sure it was someone else that cropped the image months back. But seeing no one seems to have a problem with it ''currently'', I don't see why not to use the full picture. —[[User:RicketyTrigger|RicketyTrigger]] 17:31, 2 October 2012 (MDT)

'''Lurchthorns''' (トツコツ ''Totsukotsu'') are [[Forces of Nature]] enemies introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. They can be considered physically equivalent to the [[Underworld]] [[Fire Wyrm]], although their attack strategies and weaknesses are much different. These large creatures resemble skeletal fish with five visible bone-like structures underneath their body segments. Unlike the Fire Wyrm, Lurchthorns primarily use projectile attacks, which are unleashed from the eyes on these segments. In contrast to its Underworld equivalent, the monster’s main weakness is actually its head rather than its body.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
Lurchthorns are uncommon enemies that first appear in the aerial mission of ''[[Viridi, Goddess of Nature]]''.
===Idol Description===
''This string of cannons lies in wait until an enemy draws near, at which point it activates and speeds through the air. The turrets on its joints can be destroyed, but targeting the head is the most effective strategy.''

'''Lethinium''' (ダリオス ''Dariosu'') is a [[Forces of Nature]] enemy in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. This stationary flower monster acts as a dangerous laser turret for Viridi’s forces, making it equivalent to the [[Igniot]] of the [[Underworld]] army. Unlike the latter however, the Lethinium’s laser attack does not [[Status Ailments|petrify]] [[Pit]] on contact. Like most other Nature foes, this creature has a single yellow eye, although it is only seen briefly before it executes an attack.

'''Jitterthugs''' (クルリンボ ''Kururinbo'') are foes in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' that are part of the [[Forces of Nature]] faction. They are squat-looking plant creatures that can switch between two forms. The first is their green form, which is immune to and can deal long range attacks. Their second form is their red form which can deal heavy melee damage and is immune to melee attacks. The only way to defeat it is by attacking with melee attacks in its green form and long-range attacks in its red form. To make things harder, the green version attacks using long-ranged fireballs, while the red one chases after you to attack you.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
Jitterthugs are uncommon enemies found only during land battles, first encountered during ''[[Viridi, Goddess of Nature]]''.
===Idol Description===
''Depending on which way its mask is facing, Jitterthug looks like either an old man or a furious monster. Each of these "personas" has its own traits: the old man is unaffected by ranged shots, while the angry monster is immune to melee strikes."

*This enemy's name comes from the type of dance called the "jitterbug".

The '''Dibble Dop''' (ジャブジャ ''Jabuja'') is a Forces of Nature foe introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''.

It can be considered an equivalent to the [[Underworld]] [[Clubberskull]].

==Characteristics==
While the Clobbler is calm, the creature looks like an apple with cute eyes and elf-like feet. When angered however, the Clobbler transforms to a terrifying and deformed monster with a pair of muscular arms.

''The Clobbler is usually a meek creature living a modest life of restraint. But once angered, it blows up and mutates into an aggressive monster. Those who incur the Clobbler's wrath are advised to run for three days to give it time to calm down.''

==Trivia==
*The Clobbler's name is likely deprived from a portmanteau of the words "clobber" (the act of beating something up, as an angry Clobbler is likely to do), and "cobbler" (a type of dish typically made from apples, explaining the creature's apple-like appearance).

It can also use the cape as a weapon by launching meteors from the other dimension as a projectile attack.

{{cquote|''Hey there, Pit Stain!''|quotecite=Dark Pit insulting his lighter half in [[Dark Pit (chapter)|Chapter 6]].}}


'''Dark Pit''' (黒いピット ''Kuroi Pitto'', or '''Black Pit''' ブラックピット ''Burakku Pitto''), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Dark Pit is a doppelganger of Pit, created after Pit destroyed the [[Mirror of Truth]]. He is nicknamed "Pittoo" (in English releases), "Tip" (in French releases) or "BlaPi" (in Japanese releases) by [[Palutena]] and [[Pit]]. At first, he appears as a boss and later as a mini-boss, but eventually allies with Pit in later chapters. Dark Pit can also be known as "Fallen Angel Pit." "Kuro" or "Kuro Pit" is also a popular nickname among fans (Kuro being the Japanese word for Black).

==Characteristics==
===Physical Appearance===
In terms of appearance, Dark Pit is nearly identical to that of [[Pit]], with the most obvious differences being his black clothing and hair, and shadowy teal wings. The darker color scheme is also similar to that of the "fallen angel" palette swap from ''Brawl'' with some minor changes such as red eyes, and some gold trim and laurel crown.

===Personality===
Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious and darker tone with his personality. Dark Pit also appears to attack with more aggression and will sometimes use cheap hits in order to win, such as when he kicks Pit after [[Pandora]] was defeated. Unlike Pit, Dark Pit hates the idea of being bounded down as a servant and would rather follow his own orders. This is noticeable when Dark Pit refused to follow Pandora's orders despite being created to obey her and later refused Medusa's offer to help him take down Pit, likely thinking that she would take command of him in exchange. He also appears to be sensitive about his identity. In early parts of the game, he is constantly fighting with Pit because he is supposedly "copying his act", and dislikes being called "Pittoo" by Pit and Palutena. He does occasionally team up with Pit, ether unintentionally or to complete a similar goal. Because Dark Pit came from the Mirror of Truth, it's implied that Dark Pit is actually a personification of Pit's negative inner feelings.

{{spoiler}}
He is later shown to have a something of a sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry". However, he seems to also be sharper than Pit, seeing things from a third party view due to his lack of affiliation with Hades, Viridi, or Palutena. This is shown when he accuses all three of the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are gods, and also when he seems to be the first to realize that it takes more than one soul to craft an Underworld monster.

Dark Pit also does seem to have a sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense. This can be seen when he finds out that Hades has been using souls to craft his Underworld Army, and he agrees that the Lord of the Underworld needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with her, he does seem to care about Palutena, as he aids in rescuing her from the Chaos Kin, and states that while eating souls is bad enough, going after the soul of a goddess is just vile. Also, despite everything he had done and what Pit had sacrificed for him, he's still somewhat closed off and perhaps uncomfortable with facing Pit after everything that had happened between them.

In the very least, he likely does come to trust Pit, calling out for help from him when he ends up caught by the Chaos Kin.

===Abilities===
As a clone of Pit, he has all the strengths of his lighter twin but with Pandora's powers, Dark Pit has unlimited flight (until he loses it later on). Pandora's powers also appear to give him other magical abilities and use [[power]]s on his own will instead of relying on a god.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
===Single Player===

Dark Pit first appears in the main story at the end of ''[[Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit]]'' after Pit cracks the Mirror of Truth, which was actually a part of [[Pandora]]'s devious plan to create a servant angel for herself. However, the plan backfires as the doppelgänger angel refuses to take Pandora's orders due to the mirror shattering before Dark Pit's completion. After defeating the goddess of calamity, Dark Pit kicks his lighter half away then steals Pandora's remaining powers which gives him unlimited flight. In the following chapter, ''[[Dark Pit (Chapter)|Dark Pit]]'', the dark angel is the main enemy throughout the chapter including the boss fight. During the aerial section, Dark Pit claims that he is the original, much to Pit's confusion. He is shown to possess a prototype of the [[Palutena Bow]] called the [[Silver Bow]] (which eventually becomes his favored weapon), as well as many of Pit's other arsenal. Dark Pit later makes a brief appearance in ''[[Medusa's Final Battle]]'', in which he acts an ally to Pit and helps defeats the [[Underworld Gatekeeper]]. He makes another small appearance in ''[[The Lunar Sanctum]]'' as a midboss along with the [[Lunar Sanctum Control Center]].

Dark Pit abruptly appears in the end of ''[[Chapter 20|Palutena's Temple]]'', where he uses the [[Lightning Chariot]] to widen the entrance to the [[Chaos Vortex]] as the [[Chaos Kin]] attempts to escape with Palutena's soul. He then joins forces with Pit to fight the Chaos Kin in ''[[The Chaos Vortex]]'', both to deal with the waves of monsters that the parasitic monster creates and the Chaos Kin itself. The dark angel states the reasoning behind his alliance with his lighter half is due to that fact that destroying Pit will result to his own destruction. After they free [[Palutena]]'s spirit, the remnants of the Chaos Kin drag Dark Pit and send him falling. Pit jumps down to save him and begs [[Viridi]] to let him fly again. Viridi hesitantly complies, warning Pit of the consequences, and Dark Pit calls out to Pit to help him. Pit successfully frees him from the Chaos Kin and Viridi sends them both back to Palutena in Skyworld. Dark Pit receives burns from the fall and asks how Pit is after the rescue, only to discover that Pit is unconscious and his wings have burned off.

Due to Pit's severe injuries, Dark Pit fights in his place during ''[[Scorched Feathers]]'', clearing the way to the [[Rewind Spring]] in the Underworld to repay the debt he owes his lighter twin. While there, he discovers that [[Hades]] has been using souls to form his monsters along with eating them himself, and Dark Pit claims that it was "about the SICKEST thing [he'd] ever heard." Once he reaches the Rewind Spring, he is stunned and falls to the ground, then finds that the spring had resurrected Pandora based from the powers he stole from her. Dark Pit dispatches her along with her second form, then dips the unconscious Pit's wings into the spring. Pit revives and Dark Pit hurries off the platform, only to find that he has lost his ability to fly so Viridi saves him from falling.

The doppelgänger angel is later seen using the Lightning Chariot again, and saves Pit from Hades after he manages to defeat [[Hades' Heart]] in ''[[Lord of the Underworld]]''. In the [[Chapter 25|final chapter]], the dark angel flies past his lighter twin after he defeats Hades, and appears to be using Palutena's Power of Flight as Pit was using Viridi's. Though Dark Pit doesn't approach Pit, he does go to follow him toward the horizon before he flies off to another direction.

===Multiplayer===
Dark Pit also appears in [[Together Mode]] as a playable character. When the [[Dark Team]]'s gauge becomes empty, the last [[Fighter]] defeated on the said team will respawn as the dark angel. It appears he and the Dark Team are just training in a friendly manner with the opposing [[Light Team]], as both sides will help the loser get back on his feet at the end of the match.

===Idol Descriptions===
'''Dark Pit''' 
''A flawed clone of Pit created by the Mirror of Truth. He has most of Pit's strengths, and he can even fly with Pandora's powers. While he sees Pit as a rival, the two share a strange, inherent connection.''
 
'''Dark Pit (Flying)''' 
''Being Pit's copy, Dark Pit was originally incapable of flight. However, he gains the ability when he absorbs Pandora's remaining power into his wings. And while he may not need help flying, he still shares a bond with his counterpart.''

==Trivia==
*He could be said to be the successor of [[Putt]], an enemy Pit Clone in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''.
*Dark Pit constantly being called "Pittoo" may stem from the romanization of Pit's name in Japan ''ピット Pitto''.
*Dark Pit originated in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of Pit's palette swaps.
*Dark Pit continues the tradition of evil [[Nintendo]] doppelgängers, joining a cast that includes [[mariowiki:Shadow_Mario|Shadow Mario]], [[zeldawiki:Dark_Link|Dark Link]], [[metroidwiki:Dark_Samus|Dark Samus]], [[wikirby:Shadow_Kirby|Shadow Kirby]], and [[fzerowiki:Blood_Falcon|Blood Falcon]].
*Dark Pit's musical theme is supposed to give off a "duel from old Westerns" feel but also has a bit of a Spanish flavor, according to [[Masahiro Sakurai]].<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/ms/kidicarusuprising/music/music03.html</ref>
*Dark Pit is one of two characters in ''Uprising'' that has played the role of an ally, boss, and playable character. The other is [[Magnus]].

Human Army

2012-09-28T23:17:09Z

RicketyTrigger:

[[File:Human army.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The Human Army engaged in a war against the Underworld Army.]]

The '''Human Army''' is a fifth army that is fully revealed in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. While not considered to be with the other top four armies ([[Palutena's Army]], [[Underworld Army]], [[Forces of Nature]], and the [[Aurum Fleet]]), this group still plays a massive role in the success and failure throughout the game's plot. A notable member of the humans is [[Magnus]], a powerful mercenary swordsman who fights solo with no actual affiliations. Apart from him, only [[Gaol]] and the [[Girl (Chapter 18)|young girl]] playable in [[The Ring of Chaos|Chapter 18]] are properly introduced. However, the [[Fighter]]s could also be possible humans, but their status of being so has yet to be confirmed.

== Appearances ==
===''[[Kid Icarus]]''===
The humans have a significantly smaller role in this game, and only a couple humans can be observed inside the artwork of the instruction booklet's prologue where they are first seen living peacefully in the [[Overworld]], and then later being terrorized by [[Medusa]].

=== ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' ===

The humans are first witnessed in [[Chapter 1]], where [[Pit]] describes them cheering for the return of the goddess of light, [[Palutena]]. This is seen at the last moments of the air battle, where the angel briefly flies over the city, known as [[That First Town]].

The Human Army is next seen in [[Chapter 2]], where they are seen engaging battle with the Underworld Army. Due to his limited flight, Pit is unable to help them and proceeds to [[Gaol's Castle]] to continue his mission. He eventually encounters [[Magnus]], the most powerful human in the world, and the two decide to team up with each other to take down [[Dark Lord Gaol]]. After the boss fight, it is revealed Gaol is actually a human and a friend of Magnus.

In [[Chapter 11]], the humans have fallen for [[Hades]]' lie of the [[Wish Seed]]. Whole nations are witnessed throwing rocks and fireballs at each other, all coupled with ear-busting yelling. Pit himself describes this horrid scene by saying," It's like they've lost their humanity and all they have left is... brutality!" It is unknown if Magnus was involved in this war. After all this occurs, [[Viridi]] makes her debut by throwing a nasty [[Reset Bomb]] on the soldiers. The aftermath left only the strongest and luckiest of men alive. The few survivors can be freed by Pit on the Land Battle that follows. This is the only time humans are seen up close (excluding Magnus, Gaol, and the little girl). Once freed from the vines that hold them, they (mysteriously) teleport, leaving behind them an item usable by Pit.

Later on, in [[Chapter 18]], Magnus mentions the Human Army by saying they now have to fight both the Underworld and Palutena's [[Centurion]]s. The girl mentioned above also debuts here, being the first character Pit controls in his [[Ring of Chaos]]. Unlike Magnus, she has no voice actor, further proving her minority in the game.

The final appearance of the Human Army is in the [[Chapter 25|final chapter]] of the game. They are briefly heard once Pit defeats Hades thanks to the [[Great Sacred Treasure]]. Unlike their first appearance, they are now seen rejoicing over the angel's victory and the Underworld's loss.

==== Role ====

While having a minor role at first glance, it is revealed that the humans themselves are the very source of the Underworld's continuous supply of troops. This ''spoiler alert'', as Hades puts it, is unraveled by Palutena, [[Dark Pit]] and Viridi in [[Chapter 22]]. With the increase of deaths, the souls lost are used by the god of the Underworld to create more infernal soldiers. The abundance of souls is so vast that Hades doesn't even use them all, sending the weak ones as lunch for the [[Soul-Eating Monster]] and the strong ones rewarded with peace after death, an honor now very rare to receive. To increase the deaths, Hades purposely spread the myth of the [[Wish Seed]], knowing the humans would go to war for it. This act was only the beginning of the Underworld Army's over-populating numbers.

== Trivia ==
*Since the humans appear to wear Greek amour, it could very well conclude the location of [[Angel Land]], in [[wikipedia:Greece|Greece]].

Palutena's Army

2012-09-28T22:54:34Z

RicketyTrigger:

:''This article is about the army and its influence in the Kid Icarus games. For the Final Smash in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], see [[Palutena's Army (Final Smash)]].''
[[File:Pit_and_Palutena_Uprising.jpg|thumb|right|The two major members of Palutena's Army: Pit and Palutena]]

'''Palutena's Army''' is the protagonist army of the [[Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' games]]. They can be considered the only truly "good" army in the franchise as they are responsible for keeping humanity safe from all harm and maintaining the celestial balance. It is normally rated as the fifth army in the series, with the others being the [[Underworld Army]], [[Forces of Nature]], [[Aurum Fleet]] and the [[Human Army]]. Palutena rightfully owns this army, with the main character, Pit, being its captain. The Centurions, while not appearing in every chapter in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', can be found in almost every level in the original games.
== Members ==

While being an important army in the series, the troops comprising it are actually quite minimal in diversity compared to other major factions. The following is a list of the members and their ranking:

*[[Palutena]] = The Leader
*[[Pit]] = Commanding Officer
*[[Centurion]]s = Rank-and-file troops
*[[Centurion Knight]]s = Advanced troops
*[[Centurion Strongarm]]s = Heavy-weight troops
*[[Juggernaut]]s = Cannons

'''Pit''' is a unique angel who, despite his inability to fly, is by far the most important soldier in the army. He used to fight with only the [[Palutena Bow]], but now has an array of weapons to choose from.

The regular '''Centurions''' make up most of the army. They are all identical angelic beings who have wings allowing the to fly coming from their helmets. Their bows seem to possess an unlimited supply of arrows, their main strategy of attack. They are seen in every ''Kid Icarus'' game to date. The Centurion Knights, Strongarms, and Juggernauts are all new forces revealed in ''Uprising''.

The '''Knights''' are an elite version of the regular Centurions, possessing shields and halberds instead of the bow and arrow.

The '''Strongarms''' strangely have no weapon, using their brute force to crush foes instead. While not very intelligent, Strongarms are possibly Palutena's most sought after troops (excluding Pit).

'''Juggernauts''' are inanimate cannons that shoot rapid stone balls at their foes. They can take quite a beating before being destroyed. They have excellent range and their continuous firepower makes up for their weak attacks. They are also able to throw explosive stones and require no controller and work by themselves. These troops can move horizontally while firing. They were created as a mean of defense after the [[Hewdraw]] attack in [[Chapter 3]].

== Appearances ==

===''[[Kid Icarus]]''===

After [[Medusa]] imprisons Palutena, she turns all of the Centurions to stone. The Centurions can be freed by hitting the statues of them with a [[mallet]]. Once freed the Centurions will aid Pit in his battle. They can only be found in [[fortress]]es.

===[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]===

Instead of being solely in fortresses, Centurions can be found in most stages having been petrified as in Kid Icarus.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===

Pit's [[Palutena's Army (Final Smash)|Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has him summon Palutena and a large army of Centurions. The Centurions then attack enemies by ramming into them before falling to the ground. Palutena also appears in the [[smashwiki:Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]] where she tells Pit to go and help [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] after he is thrown into [[Skyworld]] by [[mariowiki:Petey Piranha|Petey Piranha]].

===''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''===

Centurions once again appear with the role of assisting Pit as in past games. However their assistance must be found as is gained through an item called [[Centurion Assist]]. In Chapter 17: ''[[The Aurum Brain]]'', Palutena calls the army to aid Pit by carrying him on a platform into the [[Aurum Brain Fortress]]. Between Chapter 18: ''[[The Ring of Chaos]]'', and Chapter 20: ''[[Palutena's Temple (Chapter)|Palutena'a Temple]]'', the army becomes one of the main antagonists after Palutena's soul is controlled by the [[Chaos Kin]]. The latter turns Pit into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring]] where Pit wakes up three years later, unable to remember what had happened to him. [[Pit's Body|His body]] however, remains loyal to the possessed Palutena and has been attacking the humans over the time gap. In Chapter 18, [[Magnus]], under Pit's control, must defeat Pit's Body and return the angel's soul to his rightful body. Later in Chapter 20, Pit must go against Palutena and must be careful to hit the Chaos Kin and not the goddess herself.

===[[Kid Icarus 3D Anime]]===

Pit and Palutena make an appearance in all trio of anime shorts, but the Centurions only appear in ''[[Palutena's Revolting Dinner]]''.

Forces of Nature

2012-09-28T22:39:30Z

RicketyTrigger:

[[File:FoNEmblem.png|120px|thumb|Symbol of the Forces of Nature]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' are an army of powerful nature-themed monsters that are led by [[Viridi]], the Goddess of Nature who plans to destroy the human race. They are not affiliated with the [[Underworld Army]], but plan to stop [[Palutena's Army|Palutena's forces]] knowing that she will interfere in their plan to cleanse the planet of "human scum". Her reason for wanting to destroy humanity is due to that she views humans as destructive and hateful beings who have no respect for their fellow lifeforms on the planet. Viridi, being sick of their wars and mistreatment of nature, hopes to be rid of them with the army's ultimate weapon, the [[Reset Bomb]], which harms only humans and can spread foliage and animal life, thus resetting the world anew into one without humans and peaceful plants and wildlife in its place. The trademark feature of the Forces of Nature is a a green leaf.

==Role==
[[File:Chpt11 1.png|thumb|right|Human armies destroyed by Viridi's attack.]]
They first appear in Chapter 11, ''[[Viridi, Goddess of Nature]]'', where their leader Viridi appears in the sky and launches a giant [[Reset Bomb]] that wipes out countless human armies in an instant. Pit makes his way through the newly created forest to find any survivors. Near the end he encounters Viridi's stone warrior, [[Cragalanche]], which proves to be a tough opponent. Luckily Pit manages to defeat him.
 

==Members==
The top members of the army are beings who have also become fed up with the violent ways of the humans and joined Viridi's cause. Cragalanche is the only exception to this, being a rock given a soul by Viridi rather than being a human-like immortal entity:
*[[Viridi]] (leader)
*[[Phosphora]] (general)
*[[Arlon]] (general)
*[[Cragalanche]] (commanding officer)
*[[Forces of Nature Guard]] (elite guard)

===Other===
Technically not ''living'' members, the following still play an important role in the army:
*[[Reset Bomb]]
*[[Reset Bomb Pod]]

==Troops==
[[File:ForcesOfNature.png|thumb|One of the bases of the Forces of Nature.]]
All of the army's troops are actually beings created from natural resources, such as dirt, wood, water and rocks to keep with Viridi's eco-friendly policy. Despite this they are all very strong and pose a serious threat. Viridi cares deeply for all her troops and considers them all her "children".

The '''Boom Stomper''' (ドスドス ''Dosudosu'') is a [[Forces of Nature]] enemy introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It is one of Viridi’s largest and strongest troops, but also one of her slowest. This creature looks like a giant seed made out of solid rock with two stubby legs that allow it to lumber around. The Boom Stomper uses its massive body size to its advantage and attacks by pounding the ground to create dangerous shockwaves that can be difficult to avoid in small areas.

==In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==

''A gigantic mass of rock inscribed with runes and given the gift of life. With its tremendous weight, walking is a struggle. Yet Boom Stomper uses this bulk to its advantage by toppling onto its foes as a heavy attack.''

'''Pit''' (ピット ''Pitto'') is the protagonist and eponymous character of the ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus series]]'', first appearing in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 (1986 on the Famicom), followed by an appearance in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'' for the Game Boy in 1991. Other than a handful of cameos, Pit did not appear again until the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', seventeen years after ''Of Myths and Monsters'', in which he was one of the starter characters.

Pit is [[Palutena]]'s most loyal servant, as well as the captain of her royal bodyguards. He is sometimes erroneously referred to as "Kid Icarus" in reference to the English title of the series. Pit is always armed with his trusty [[Bow]] and [[Arrow of Strength|arrows]] and prefers ranged combat, though he has demonstrated a fair amount of melee capability.

==Characteristics==
===Physical Appearance===
In earlier games, Pit appeared as a young, cherubic angel wearing a simple, white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs. He has short brown hair, and small white wings that are incapable of flight. In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' and beyond, he dons a gold laurel crown. Since his reappearance in ''Brawl'', he was given a major redesign by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Pit now looks to be around 13 years old (in humans years)<ref>http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/</ref>, and has large blue eyes and many tufts in his hair. His chiton remains white, now decorated with red and gold hems on the bottom. It is fastened on the shoulder by a single gold pin with a ruby-like gem embedded on it. He wears the outfit with a brown belt with silver edges and a gold, triangular buckle on his waist. Pit also appears to wear navy blue tights beneath his chiton. The angel now has a pair of bronze and gold cuffs on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm, and another gold ring on his right thigh. Pit's sandals are brown and decorated with crossing, beige bands. The top edges of his shoes have what appears to be white fur or wool.

===Personality===
Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic. He is generally very upbeat no matter what the situation (although he can be genuinely serious when needed), which certain characters, including both foe and ally, can find it a nuisance. Pit frequently banters, cracks jokes, makes outrageous puns, and constantly breaks the fourth wall. Pit also deeply cares about the human race and is willing to do anything to keep them safe. His loyalty to Palutena is unmatched by no other, and he always addresses her as "Lady Palutena". Pit even states the main reason he fights in the first place is because of her. Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. He also has a large appetite and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from.

However, due to his young age, Pit is gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not very bright either. Pit is illiterate and has trouble understanding complex vocabulary used by Palutena. Some characters even sarcastically insult his intelligence, and his inability to detect sarcasm makes things easier for others (Ironically enough, Pit can sometimes make sarcastic statements himself). Pit can become oversensitive, especially when someone brings up the topic regarding his inability to fly, he will easily become riled up. He can even be slightly narcissistic, believing he is an attractive-looking person. According to Palutena, Pit embarrasses easily, and Pit himself admits he gets stage fright.
===Abilities===
Despite Pit being a flightless angel, he is still a skilled and versatile fighter. He originally started out as an archer that mainly specialized in using the Bow, but over the years he has become more experienced with using various weapons like the [[Blade]], [[Claws]], [[Cannon]], etc. Even though Pit has a childish appearance, he seems to possess great physical strength, and is capable of utilizing massive weapons like the [[Arm]] or [[Club]]. The angel has also learned to use impressive abilities and magic known as [[Powers]] which are granted by Palutena.

==Appearances==
===''[[Kid Icarus]]''===
At the beginning of the first game, Pit began as a young angel boy, trapped in the [[Underworld]]. Palutena, the Goddess of Light, had been imprisoned, so she entrusted Pit with a magical [[Bow]] and the duty of gathering the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], defeating the Dark Goddess [[Medusa]] and saving [[Angel Land]]. Pit must journey through the Underworld, [[Overworld]], [[Skyworld]], and finally, the [[Palace in the Sky]] in order to gather the Three Sacred Treasures and free Palutena.
----
===''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''===
[[Image:KI Myths and Monsters.gif|right|131px|thumb|Pit as he appears in ''Of Myths and Monsters''.]]
In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters,'' Pit is charged with training for the defense of Angel Land, after Palutena foresees an invasion of demons led by a monster called [[Orcos]]. The training involves the Three Sacred Treasures, which Pit must unite. However, because of a dire emergency, Palutena had entrusted the Three Sacred Treasures to the fortress guardians. To prevent Orcos's invasion, Pit must once again obtain the Three Sacred Treasures.
----
===''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''===
A return to the series as the flagship title for the [[nwiki:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]]. Twenty-five years after the first game (referencing the real-life gap between the NES classic and ''Uprising''), Medusa is revived by her minions. A now-teenage Pit is tasked with defeating Medusa and her army of monsters by Palutena, who gives Pit the [[Power of Flight]], which allows him to fly for five minutes before his wings burn up. This allows him to get between the various areas where he fights the army on the ground. Along the way, he'll not only use the Bow to fight his foes, but will also gather a large new repertoire of weapons with both long and short-ranged capabilities, showing off a few new tricks.

====Single Player====
{{Spoiler}}
Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signaling Medusa's return. At Palutena's request, Pit leaves Skyworld using the Power of Flight and heads to [[That First Town]], where he finds that the humans haven't lost hope and are cheering the return of the Goddess of Light. Pit fights through the town and defeats [[Twinbellows]], then confronts Medusa and tells her that "her days of darkness are numbered," and he would defeat her. Pit then heads off to [[Dark Lord Gaol's Castle]] to aid the humans in their battles against the Underworld Army and meets [[Magnus]], a powerful human fighter whom he teams up with to defeat [[Gaol]], but later finds that Gaol was actually a human woman. However, before he could learn more, Palutena extracts him from battle.

Later, Medusa sends the Underworld Army straight to Skyworld, likely in retaliation for Gaol's defeat, and Pit heads out to defeat [[Hewdraw]] in [[That Burning Town]]. Then, Palutena sends Pit to the [[Reaper Fortress]] to disable the obscurity the [[Reaper]]s were using to hide [[Pandora]], the Goddess of Calamity. While there, he runs into the dreaded [[Eggplant Wizard]], lamenting that he "[doesn't] want to be an eggplant again." He then explains to Palutena that he visited the hospital so many times in his last adventure to defeat Medusa that they named it after him- "The hosPITal. Get it?" Palutena ignores the joke and he continues on to defeat the [[Great Reaper]], thus completing his mission.

Having found Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit, Palutena sends Pit there next but both encounter mind-boggling troubles within the Labyrinth, and Pit remarks that "the name is the only straight thing about this place." Once he reaches his destination, Pit fights through and Palutena explains that he's looking for the [[Mirror of Truth]], an object that creates a copy of the true thoughts and feelings of whomever looks into it, and that Medusa and Pandora are using it to duplicate the monsters of the Underworld Army. Pit reaches Pandora and defeats her once, and she shows him the Mirror of Truth, which he immediately launches himself toward to break. However, just as he does, the Mirror casts a reflection of him and creates [[Dark Pit]] to Pit's shock and confusion. Pandora states that Dark Pit would be "[Pit's] escort out of this life," but Dark Pit hits her and teams up with Pit to defeat her. However, as soon as she falls, Dark Pit delivers a vicious kick to Pit's stomach and knocks him back, explaining that it was "for ripping off [his] look." Pit argues that he was the original, but Dark Pit ignores him and dives through Pandora's remnants, gaining an ability of his own to fly indefinitely, and he leaves before Pit can pursue him. Palutena tracks Dark Pit down and sends Pit after him, fearing that he may be allied with the Underworld Army, but an exchange between Dark Pit and Medusa reveals that he has no intentions of aligning himself with her. Pit pursues him through the air to a location of ruins and battles him several times before Dark Pit finally retreats, claiming that he "was going easy on [Pit]."

Palutena and Pit return to the focus of defeating Medusa and he heads for the [[Seafloor Palace]], meeting [[Poseidon]] along the way before he enters the Palace to defeat [[Thanatos]], the God of Death, who has in his possession the [[Underworld Key]], a gem of sorts that allows the owner to travel into the Underworld. Pit defeats him and claims the Underworld Key, but learns from Palutena that he'll need the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] to challenge Medusa along with the fact that said Treasures were stolen by the [[Space Pirates]]. Pit goes to retrieve them before the Underworld Army can, defeating the Pirates and a [[Space Kraken]].

Pit then dons the Three Sacred Treasures and heads to the Underworld, fighting through both her usual minions and monsters crafted to resemble Twinbellows, Hewdraw Reborn, and Pandora, before finally challenging her to a three-part battle. Pit defeats her and returns to Skyworld, believing his battle is over, but [[Hades]], the Lord of the Underworld reveals himself as the mastermind behind Medusa's resurrection and the invasion of the Underworld. Pit changes targets to Hades and heads to a [[Phoenix Mountain|volcanic area]] to fight off the Underworld's forces, only to find that Hades was after something called the [[Wish Seed]], an object that the [[Phoenix]] was guarding. Pit remarks that his wish would be "to fly on [his] own," and he goes to defeat the Phoenix, despite learning that the Wish Seed was a fake, sparking a beacon to the humans that the Phoenix had been beaten. Hades uses the beacon as an opportunity to alert the humans that the Wish Seed had been stolen, leading to a great war between them for the chance to get it.

Pit embarks to survey the damage and see if he can't find a way to stop the chaotic fighting, but is quickly cut off by the actions of [[Viridi]], the Goddess of Nature and the leader of the [[Forces of Nature]], who sends a [[Reset Bomb]] to wipe out the warring humans due to their reckless behavior and the ways they destroy the earth. Pit enters the area affected by the Reset Bomb to find it covered in dense vegetation. He frees the few human survivors and tracks down [[Cragalanche]], a rocky member of Viridi's Forces of Nature. Pit defeats it and returns to Skyworld. Viridi's actions begin a third side of the war between the Underworld and Skyworld: Palutena and Pit trying to protect the humans, Viridi attempting to save any living thing but the humans, and Hades and his destructive ways of wiping just about everything out.

Pit goes to the [[Reset Bomb Depot]] to put a stop to Viridi's production of her ultimate weapons, and despite her avid protests and sending of her Forces of Nature to get in his way, he destroys the Depot. Later, he heads to the [[Lunar Sanctum]] to challenge [[Arlon]], one of Viridi's high-ranking followers, only to be ambushed by Dark Pit while there. Pit triumphs over both adversaries and effectively blows up the Lunar Sanctum, unknowingly freeing a creature known as the [[Chaos Kin]]. Pit then heads to defeat [[Phosphora]], another of Viridi's loyal followers, putting a large dent in Viridi's tactics.

However, before they can do anything else, Hades, Viridi, and Palutena find that their world is under attack by a mysterious race of nothingness known as the [[Aurum]], and Palutena sends Pit to deal with the threat before they destroy everything. The three sides make a temporary alliance to stop the Aurum. Pit, with a little help from [[Pyrrhon]], self-proclaimed Sun God, destroys the Aurum fleet. However, Pyrrhon betrays them and fuses with the [[Aurum Brain]], leading to Pit being unable to destroy it and ends up losing the Power of Flight before his wings could burn. Pit regrets having never learned to read, but is saved by the Forces of Nature and the [[Centurion]]s. He makes his way back to the Aurum Brain and destroys it, causing an end to the Aurum invasion.

Unfortunately, before he can celebrate, Pit finds himself having been turned into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring of sorts]]. However, a little [[girl]] comes across the ring and put it on, causing Pit to take control of her. He finds that a nearby human town is under attack and sees the Centurions among the chaos, then decides to investigate to the regret of putting the girl in danger. However, the girl trips and falls, losing the ring, and it is picked up by a dog. Pit, using the dog, hurries to the town and finds that his body is a part of the battle, much to his confusion. He then finds Magnus once again, who takes the ring and inspects it, but drops it to Pit's disappointment. Pit calls out, begging Magnus to pick the ring up, and Magnus eventually returns and puts it on. The two then find that Pit has taken control of Magnus's body and they can communicate due to the connection, and Magnus explains that three years had gone by since they fought Dark Lord Gaol. Palutena had apparently disappeared for a time, and later returned with her army to fight against the humans. Pit can barely believe what he heard, and uses Magnus's body to recover [[Pit's Body|his own]].

Shortly later, Viridi retrieves him and sends him to Skyworld, where he discovers that his home had been ruined by the continuous attacks caused by the Underworld. Palutena tells him that she was sick of dealing with the ungrateful humans and Pit believes that something else was pulling her strings. She responds, telling him that the only puppet there was him. Pit then retreats to Viridi for the time being and then goes to obtain the [[Lightning Chariot]], hoping to use it to break through the barrier surrounding Palutena's temple. After battling its [[Chariot Master|former master]], Pit successfully takes it and breaks into the temple, finding that Palutena had been possessed by the Chaos Kin. Pit removes it and frees her, only to find that the Chaos Kin had stolen her spirit and disappeared within the [[Chaos Vortex]]. Dark Pit shows up, claiming that the two needed to rescue Palutena's spirit as quickly as possible.

Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex to pursue the Chaos Kin and eventually tracks it down, only to have it disappear for a time and trap him within an endurance battle between him and itself. Dark Pit shows up later to help him through it, and the two defeat the Chaos Kin. However, as Pit is checking on Palutena, the remnants of the Chaos Kin capture Dark Pit and send him off the edge of the platform the three were on. Without a second thought, Pit jumps after him and begs Viridi to let him fly. Viridi refuses, telling him that it would just cause his wings to catch fire. Pit replies that he doesn't care, realizing that the Chaos Kin was only going to destroy Dark Pit, and Viridi reluctantly gives him the Power of Flight once again. Pit catches Dark Pit and Viridi sends them back to the platform where Palutena waits, and they find that Pit's wings had been nearly burned off, leaving them in ruin. Palutena cradles his unconscious body, lamenting the state of her captain and remembering his former wish- to fly on his own.

In payment for saving his life, Dark Pit heads to the [[City of Souls]] and the [[Rewind Spring]] in order to restore Pit's wings, only to find along the way that Hades had been using souls not only to craft his army, but also as a meal. Dark Pit continues on and reaches the Spring, where he battles a resurrected Pandora. After defeating her, Palutena sends Pit to him and he dips the unconscious angel's wings into the Spring, ultimately healing him. Pit revives and Dark Pit hurries off the platform, only to find that he lost his ability to fly and Viridi saves him from falling. Pit returns to Skyworld, ready to fight.

Pit dons the Three Sacred Treasures once again and heads out to confront Hades, but Hades ends up destroying the Treasures a short time into the fight and ultimately eats the angel. Pit fights his way though Hades's bowels until he comes across the god's heart, which he then defeats. Once the battle is over, Dark Pit saves him using the Lightning Chariot and Palutena retrieves them both before Hades can attack again. Hades admits that the attack had hurt, but triumphantly points out that "at least [he's] not dead."

Having lost the Three Sacred Treasures, Palutena sends Pit to the smith who created them in the first place, [[Dyntos]], the God of the Forge. Once there, Dyntos challenges Pit to pass three trials, involving Pit's proving himself by defeating recreations of former bosses along with the new weapon itself. Pit triumphs and claims the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], a robotic weapon that he mans from the inside. Pit uses it to head out and confront Hades once again, and manages to weaken the Lord of the Underworld significantly. Unfortunately, Hades all but destroys the Great Sacred Treasure and prepares an attack that will ultimately end Pit, but a revived Medusa shows up and stops him before he destroys her. Palutena instructs Pit to take the cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure and focuses her power on charging it as Viridi gives Pit the Power of Flight. Once the charge is complete, Pit fires it and defeats Hades, bringing the threat of the Underworld to an end.

Pit then flies over the nearby land to check on its state, reflecting on the battle. While he is doing so, Dark Pit joins him, also using the Power of Flight, and Pit heads to follow him toward the horizon before flying off on his own higher into the heavens as the credits roll.

====Multiplayer====
Pit is also playable in [[Together Mode]], but only in ''Light vs Dark''. He will appear when the last [[Fighter]] on the [[Light Team]] is defeated when the life gauge depletes.

===[[Kid Icarus 3D Anime]]===
Pit makes an appearances in all three animated shorts, however he plays the role of the protagonist in ''[[Thanatos Rising]]''. In this feature, he battles [[Thanatos]] and his Underworld forces to prevent them from attacking a human town using a stolen Trojan Horse. In ''[[Medusa's Revenge]]'', a small bit about Pit's back story 25 years ago is shown, and later his confrontation with [[Medusa]] in ''Uprising''. In ''[[Palutena's Revolting Dinner]]'', Pit is tasked to bring tomatoes for Palutena's "vegetable surprise", but a problem caused by his goddess later forces him to fight a group of sentient vegetable monsters.

==Super Smash Bros. Series==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' ===
[[File:Pit's_profile_pic.jpg|thumb|Pit as he appeared in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Pit is a playable in character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and is available at the start of the game.

His Special Attacks, other than his Side Special, are based off of the Three Sacred Treasures. His bow is called the "[[Bow|Sacred Bow of Palutena]]".<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pit.html</ref> This bow is his symbol and has the added feature of being able to split into dual swords, a trait that would carry on to its appearance in ''Uprising'' and a dual functionality that would come to permeate all of the weapons in Pit's arsenal in that game. He uses both swords and bow for his Aerial, Standard and Smash Attacks, changing the weapon between three different forms to attack. His Down Special is the [[Mirror Shield]], which is used to reflect projectiles and protect Pit from attack from the front. It can be angled upward slightly. His Up Special is the Wings of Icarus, which allows him to fly freely for a short time.

After obtaining the power of the [[smashwiki:Smash Ball|Smash Ball]], Pit can use his Final Smash, Palutena's Army, to call upon a swarm of [[Centurion]]s to attack his opponents.

Pit is one of three characters possessing wings, so he is capable of gliding. The other two are [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]] and [[bulbapedia:Charizard|Charizard]].

This is also the first game in which Pit has a voice. In the Japanese version, he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Minami Takayama|Minami Takayama]], while in the English version he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Lani Minella|Lani Minella]].

There is a stage called ''Skyworld'' which is based off of [[Skyworld]] in the original games. On this stage, there are breakable platforms held up by clouds. In the background, there is a temple and a statue of Palutena. Four pieces of music from ''Kid Icarus'' can be played the stage.

Due to his fast projectile, which is controllable after release, can cover a great distance in a short time, and can easily be used multiple times in quick succession. His superior recovery, his multiple projectile-reflecting moves, and his multi-hit attacks, which include, but are not limited to, his Neutral Air attack and Forward Special, Pit is sometimes accused of being cheap or simply too easy to use effectively in matches. Without many good moves to KO with and the inability to use the [[Wings of Icarus]] again if hit in midair during the duration of the move until he lands, he is kept from a higher spot on the tier list: He currently ranks at 18th out of 38 characters on the tier list, but has held higher spots in the past.
[[File:PitColorSceme.jpg|center|1000px|thumb|Pit's various costume changes]]
====Role in the Subspace Emissary====
In the ''[[smashwiki:Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]'', Pit is first seen watching [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] and [[wikirby:Kirby|Kirby]] battling on a stadium through a [[Reflecting Pool]] in Skyworld. When he sees the stadium get engulfed by Subspace, Palutena appears and sends him to defeat the Subspace army, giving him his bow. Pit soon meets Mario, who was knocked out of the stadium by [[mariowiki:Petey Pirahna|Petey Piranha]], the act of which turned him into a trophy before he landed in the Sea of Clouds near Skyworld. Pit and Mario quickly team up and set out to defeat the Subspace army. They eventually form a larger party of fighters with [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]], [[mariowiki:Yoshi|Yoshi]] and Kirby, which joins up with other characters later in the story.

Eventually, all the characters, with the exception of [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]], [[wikibound:Ness|Ness]] and [[wikirby:King_Dedede|King Dedede]] (and [[smashwiki:Sonic|Sonic]], who only appears at the end, as well as [[bulbapedia:Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]], [[zeldawiki:Link|Toon Link]], and [[lylatwiki:Wolf|Wolf]], the three of whom are absent from the storyline altogether) join up and invade the Subspace, only to get turned into trophies by [[smashwiki:Tabuu|Tabuu]]. However, he and most of the others are rescued by King Dedede, Luigi and Ness, who had been absent in the invasion. Pit takes part in the final battle against Tabuu with all the other characters.

===Trophy Information===
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====
''The head of Palutena's personal bodyguards, Pit traveled near and far to gather Three Sacred Treasures that [[File:PitMeleeTrophy.png|thumb|198px]]would help him defeat the evil goddess of darkness, Medusa, and free Palutena, the goddess of light. Pit couldn't fly with his little wings; only the Wings of Pegasus let him take flight. Will Pit ever fight again?''
:''Kid Icarus'' (7/87)
{{Clr}}

====Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Pit)====
''The captain of the royal bodyguards of Palutena, goddess of light and ruler of Angel Land. The dark goddess, [[File:PitBrawlTrophy.png|thumb|196px]]Medusa, conquered the underworld, the surface world, and the heavens, and imprisoned Palutena. Pit escaped and, armed with Palutena's magical bow, set out to free her. Along the way, he gathered Three Sacred Treasures with which he challenged Medusa.''
:''Kid Icarus'', 1987

====Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Palutena's Army)====
''Pit's Final Smash. An image of the goddess Palutena appears, heralding [[File:Palutenas_army.jpg|thumb]]the arrival of Pit's legions, the Centurions. These flying warriors proceed to attack all enemies with fierce savagery. Once a Centurion strikes an enemy, he falls from the sky, never to fly again. Centurions are so fast that dodging them is very hard. Take heart, Centurions! Your deaths are not in vain!''

==Other Appearances==
===''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''===
[[Image:CapNKidIcarus.jpg|170px|thumb|right|Pit "Kid Icarus" in ''Captain N''.]]
Pit appeared as one of the main characters in the cartoon, ''[[wikipedia:Captain N: The Game Master|Captain N: The Game Master]]''. Here, he was referred to as "Kid Icarus" and, after initial suspicion, became Kevin's loyal sidekick next to Duke. He was voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0432228/ Alessandro Juniali]. Pit is drawn with a comically larger head (with a massive cowlick) in comparison to the rest of his body and is constantly in flight, as though he already possessed the [[Wings of Pegasus]]. He has a tendency to append the catchphrase "-icus" to words (and sometimes maximus for large things) and speaks as a young teenager just hitting puberty. No longer satisfied with normally deadly arrows, Pit has a large selection of different projectiles in his quiver with a large variety of functions, and he always seems to have the right one for the job (ranging from saw-bladed arrows to pizza arrows); sometimes, however, he pulls the wrong arrow and simply must make do with whatever he drew. One episode was centered on the plot of ''Kid Icarus'', with the team trying to collect the Three Treasures. Kid Icarus came from the "Mount Icarus" realm.

===''Tetris''===
[[Image:Tetris Pit.gif|right]]
Pit appeared in the official Nintendo version of ''[[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]'', as an instrument player alongside [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran|Samus]] of [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'']] fame and several of Nintendo's other characters. In this appearance, he was depicted playing a violin or viola in the ending. This may be a pun on his choice of weapon, as the tool used for playing a stringed instrument is also called a bow.

==Trivia==
[[File:Kid Icarus best ending.png|thumb|Adult Pit in the best ending of Kid Icarus.]]
*There are not any proper angels in Greek mythology, but there is one archer with wings; Pit bears a very striking resemblance to the cherubic [[wikipedia:Eros|Eros]] (also known as [[wikipedia:Cupid|Cupid]] in Roman mythology), the god who would inspire love by shooting people with arrows. In popular culture, Eros/Cupid is often depicted as having arrowheads shaped and colored like hearts due to his love motif, and some of Pit's art and his trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' depict his arrowheads as looking like hearts.
**Pit's own name seems to be derived from Cupid himself, particularly from the ''pid'' part of Cupid. There is evidence to this as seen in the Japanese version of ''Uprising''. In Chapter 11, Viridi mentions that Pit's name (which is ピット ''Pitto'' in Japan) is unoriginal because he resembles Cupid (キューピット ''Kyūpitto'').
*Pit also draws inspiration from [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]], the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off. This alludes to the story of Icarus, whose wax-and-feather wings allowed him to fly, but, caught up in the moment, he disobeyed his father, Daedalus, and flew too close to the sun, causing the wax holding the wings together to fall off, causing him to plummet to his death. A similar allusion is made in ''Uprising'', when Palutena notes that the Power of Flight can only sustain Pit for five minutes before his wings burn up, causing him to fall, and he must reach his destination before that happens.
*And finally, Pit draws inspiration from Biblical angels. Angels in the Bible are commonly depicted as benevolent messengers and guardians. Pit's position as Palutena's bodyguard and a protector of humans fits as a role of a guardian angel. There are also hints of Pit being a messenger, however he has never really been seen doing such tasks in games.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Pit appears as a trophy, with the words "Will he ever fight again?" imprinted on it, which would be a foreshadowing of his eventual inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*A romantic interest between [[Palutena]] and Pit was implied in the best ending in the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', though this has yet to be revisited. However, it should be noted that this ending was not in the original Japanese version. It was only in the English version, replacing the worst ending where Palutena turns Pit into a [[Specknose]].
*Pit has a tendency to break through the fourth wall a lot, referencing other Nintendo franchises and situations, such as when he points out that [[Komayto]]s "look like little Metroids" or saying that he and Twinbellows are going to "rack up some serious Nintendogs trainer points together."
*Pit is illiterate as revealed in ''Uprising''.
*In ''Uprising'', it is implied that Pit rarely, if ever, removes his clothes. He claims he is following the "Angel's Code of Conduct" and he apparently is worried about his bare body being harmed when exposed to hot springs. Despite this, Palutena has been shown to remove all of her clothing in the Kid Icarus Uprising 3D anime.
**The actual excuse to why he doesn't remove his clothes is revealed in a random conversation between him and Palutena, where he states that he is saving on laundry by not taking off his clothes.

[[File:FoNEmblem.png|60px|left]]
'''Cragalanche''', known in Japan as '''Rocca of Herculean Strength''' (超人強度のロッカ, ''Chōjin kyōdo no rokka''), is a new character introduced in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. It is the first major minion of [[Viridi]] that is battled at the end of Chapter 11: ''[[Viridi, Goddess of Nature]]''. Being a rock given a soul, Cragalanche can't talk. Despite its heavy weight and size, this powerful [[Rokman]] is actually able to move rather quickly and has a variety of attacks that it can use. However, it has a major Achilles' heel in the form of a weak, crystalline structure embedded in its back, which inflicts more damage to Cragalanche if shot at. Nevertheless, the creature can still take a lot of punishment before going down.
==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Cragalanche is a creature made of purely rock. It has a pair of glowing red eye and a large mouth that doesn't seem to open since it cannot talk. It also has a pair of stubby legs that allow the being to slide across the battlefield. Cragalanche's main weapons are its massive fist-like arms which can also be stretched to reach its foes. Beneath this rocky entity appears to be molten, as the artwork depicts Cragalanche with magma-like cracks forming on the bottom.
===Personality===
Due to it being a rock, Cragalanche doesn't have much of a personality. However, it is considered to be the "strong, silent type" according to Viridi.

== In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''==
Cragalanche is a boss appearing in the end of the aerial battle in ''[[Viridi, Goddess of Nature]]'', where Viridi summons it to fight [[Pit]] later on. Cragalanche's rough landing causes the angel to be knocked out of the air, forcing him to begin trekking the Reset Bomb Forest by foot. Pit eventually encounters the rocky monster and defeats it by attacking its glowing rear.

He also appears in Chapter 24: ''[[The Three Trials]]'', although the Cragalanche fought here is an exact copy of one of [[Dyntos]]'s creations. He regains the same abilities and weak-spots as before.
===Idol Description===
''A commanding officer in the Forces of Nature. Once a mere boulder with a soul, Cragalanche spent years developing a will of his own. Fiercely loyal to Viridi, he strikes at the front lines of battle like a meteor.''
== Trivia ==
*Cragalanche might be loosely based on a Golem, a monster said to be made out of inanimate matter (rock or stone, in this case) from Jewish folklore.
*Cragalanche's name is a portmanteau of the words "crag" and "avalanche", due to the fact it is a being made of rugged rock and hits like the force of an avalanche.
*Despite having no actual gender, the characters and Idol description use masculine pronouns to describe Craglanche.

'''Jitterthugs''' (クルリンボ ''Kururinbo'') are foes in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' that are part of the [[Forces of Nature]] faction. They are squat-looking plant creatures that can switch between two forms. The first is their green form, which is immune to and can deal long range attacks. Their second form is their red form which can deal heavy melee damage and is immune to melee attacks. The only way to defeat it is by attacking with melee attacks in its green form and long-range attacks in its red form. To make things harder, the green version attacks using long-ranged fireballs, while the red one chases after you to attack you.

Jitterthugs are uncommon enemies found only during land battles, first encountered during ''[[Viridi, Goddess of Nature]]''.
===Idol Description===
'Depending on which way its mask is facing, Jitterthug looks like either an old man or a furious monster. Each of these "personas" has its own traits: the old man is unaffected by ranged shots, while the angry monster is immune to melee strikes."

==Trivia==
*This enemy's name comes from the type of dance called the "jitterbug".
