This article is about the location. For the chapter in Kid Icarus: Uprising, see Palutena's Temple (chapter).
Not to be confused with Palace in the Sky.
Palutena's Temple

First Appearance: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Latest Appearance:

Super Smash Bros 4 (2014)

Origin: Divine Structure
Location: Skyworld
Inhabited By: Palutena, Pit


Palutena's Temple is the central palace located in Skyworld and home of the eponymous goddess of light, and the starting location of Pit's missions. It is also where the Arms Altar is located.

In Kid Icarus: Uprising

The main hub as it appears in Solo Mode.

The goddess' temple acts as the central hub area in this game, and is where most of the game's menu functionality occurs. Although the location provides numerous customization options for players, it cannot be freely explored like a typical hub area. Players can check out their progress in the Treasure Hunt, perform Idol Tosses, practice Air and Land Battle techniques, and check out current weapons. A section called the Arms Altar features many other options regarding weapons.

After Chapter 19, Viridi takes over Palutena's job and takes Pit into her temple. This feat changes the look of the temple the player is used to resting in since it is now in Viridi's Temple. No options are changed, but the overall layout has a different look. Viridi's Temple is covered in grass and many symbols seen in Palutena's Temple are now changed for Viridi's equivalent. The most notable switch is the replacement of the Centurion Strongarm with an Urgle. Pit regains his refuge in Palutena's Temple once Chapter 21 is completed. After the last chapter is completed, Pit can choose which goddess looks after him by entering the new Hidden Options menu on the Main Screen.

Modes

Move Out
This is where Pit goes through every time he begins a new chapter or repeats an old one. Venturing out of here takes him to the Chapter selection where the level and the Intensity are selected.

Treasure Hunt
The Treasure Hunt mode can be accessed to view all current Treasure Hunt panels and their respective unlockables. When a panel has been completed, on returning to Solo Mode you will be automatically taken here to view what you unlocked. The rewards range from Idols and Weapons to and Hearts.

Idol Toss
Idol Eggs obtained through battle in Chapters and Together Mode can be thrown in here replacing the one found in the Vault Menu. The functionality remains the same though. Once thrown and revealed, the Idol received can be examined by reading the information it comes with and the 360° three-dimensional view all Idols offer.

Arms Altar
For the main article, see Arms Altar.

The Arms Altar contains a multitude of other options as explained above. Here, Pit can purchase items, fuse weapons and convert them for hearts. The purchase of items is in the hands of Palutena while the converting of weapons is left for a Centurion Strongarm / Urgle to do.

Gear
All weapons and Powers acquired are accessible from here. Powers can be swapped and altered and also auto-filled, while weapons can be (de)selected as favorites, analyze stats and tried out on a Land Battle area. The Gear option is also accessible through the Arms Altar and Practice Range.

Practice Range
Here, weapons can be experimented with in both Land and Air practice spaces. The Air section can only be accessed through here, while the Land section is also accessible by selecting a weapon and choosing "Try it Out". The Air Battle testing range features harmless Monoeyes and Komaytos while the Land Battle range features an immobile Monoeye in the center of a large circular platform.

Idol Description

This Skyworld temple is the starting point for Pit's missions. Palutena's Temple is surrounded by a powerful force field that protects it from enemy attacks. The size of this force field can be adjusted, although it gets weaker the further it's stretched.

Other Appearances

Kid Icarus 3D Anime

Palutena's Temple is featured in the anime shots. It appears in Palutena's Revolting Dinner, but it has a vastly different look from other appearances, and has a more medieval castle style with fantasy elements opposed to the ancient Greek type of architecture commonly depicted in the games. The interior of the divine structure is also seen in Thanatos Rising where Palutena resides while she is helping Pit, and it is briefly observed in the beginning of Medusa's Revenge when Palutena is kept imprisoned by Medusa.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

The temple as seen in SSB4.

A stage set on and around Palutena's Temple appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. This is the biggest stage in the Super Smash Bros. series, being even larger than Temple and New Pork City. It is divided into various areas with different themes, including the inside of a temple, and a tower. Although the stage is called Palutena's Temple in the American game, the European version calls it Skyworld. If the player uses Pit's down rant quick enough while on the stage, it will trigger a conversation between Pit and another Kid Icarus character about the other fighter, similar to Snakes codexes in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.


Trivia

  • It's very likely that Palutena's Temple and the Palace in the Sky are one in the same, and the name was probably changed due to the fact that Palutena and Medusa no longer co-rule Skyworld.
  • The official artwork and AR Card of the temple depicts the statue of Palutena with a noticeably different design.
  • The stairs in the middle of the room leading to battle resemble those that led to Tabuu's Great Maze in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary.
