Angel's Feather: Difference between revisions

[[File:Angel_featherPict.png|right|thumb|Official artwork from ''Kid Icarus''.]]

The '''Angel's Feather''' is an item that can be bought at [[Store|shops]] or found in [[Treasure Chamber]]s. It is activated automatically (and consumed) when [[Pit]] hits the bottom of the screen, allowing him to fly for a short amount of time in an attempt to recover his footing. A near-necessity in [[Skyworld]], but also useful in the [[Overworld]] when attempting to traverse the large seas. Once Pit has equipped the [[Wings of Pegasus]] (one of the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]), Angel's Feathers become useless and can never be used again. In ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', Feathers are used to unlock panels on the [[Treasure Hunt]]s. They are not bought, but rather unlocked by completing certain tasks.

This item is only found while traveling and will not be found in any shops. It grants Pit the temporary ability of full flight, but only lasts for several seconds, much like a primitive version of the [[Power of Flight]]. Because this game allows Pit to back-track to areas he's already been to at the lower parts of a stage, it is not as important as it was last time, but it is still useful for accessing hard-to-reach areas, and during the [[Skyworld]] stage, spikes.  However, the feathers are still in hard-to-reach areas themselves.

The "[[Wings of Icarus]]", is Pit's [[smashwiki:up special move|up special move]]. It appears to be a combination of the Angel's Feather and the Wings of Pegasus as they have a similar appearance as the Wings of Pegasus, but they function like the Angel's Feather.  This move allows him to fly upwards, the wings turn blue, and then after a moderate period of time Pit becomes helpless. It is considered one of the best recovery abilities, mirroring its importance in the first ''Kid Icarus''.  However, unlike any other fighter in the game, if Pit is hit with any attack while flying, he cannot use the "Wings of Icarus" until he lands on the ground again.
