[[Dark Pit]], known in Japan as '''Black Pit''' (ブラックピット ''Burakku Pitto''), is a major character in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Dark Pit is a doppelgänger of [[Pit]] and his primary rival. He was created after Pit destroyed the [[Mirror of Truth]]. He is nicknamed "Pittoo" (in English releases), "Tip" (in some European releases), or "Burapi" (in Japanese releases) by [[Palutena]] and Pit.

Depending on the current situation or agenda, Dark Pit will act as an enemy or ally to Pit. | ||

Dark Pit has red eyes, black hair and wings, although his wings appear to be deep teal in official artwork. He wears a black chiton, undershirt, shorts, bracers, and sandals. Like Pit, he wears a gold laurel crown, bracelet, and thigh ring. Parts of Dark Pit's chiton, undershirt, and shorts are edged with gold trim. His shorts also have a pattern of gold circles and crescents going up his front and back thighs. One of the few differences that is unrelated to color is the design on the hems of his tunic, as Dark Pit's has triangular patterns opposed to the vine-like ones on Pit's. The shape of his eyes are narrower than Pit's, with his eyelashes extending from the upper corner of his eyes. His eyebrows are comparatively thinner as well. As he is a clone of Pit, it can be assumed he also has the appearance of a 13-year old with a height of 160 cm (5'3"). | ||

Despite his name and appearance, it is important to note that Dark Pit is not villainous by any means. He possesses the 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 human souls to craft his [[Underworld Army]], and agrees that the evil deity needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with the goddess of light, Dark Pit 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. | Despite his name and appearance, it is important to note that Dark Pit is not villainous by any means.

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 [[Dark Pit (chapter)|eponymous chapter]], the dark angel is the main enemy throughout the level including the boss fight. During the aerial section, Dark Pit claims that he is the original, much to Pit's confusion. He possesses 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]].

Dark Pit abruptly appears | Dark Pit abruptly appears at 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. | 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.

He was initially teased in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqTW13AYniY#t Palutena's trailer] at E3 2014, in which he made an ambiguous cameo at the end. He was later formally announced on October 9, 2014, but he was leaked several weeks prior from the infamous [[smashwiki:ESRB_leak|ESRB leak]]. In the 3DS version, Dark Pit can be unlocked by completing [[smashwiki:Classic Mode|Classic Mode]] three times, or playing 50 VS matches. While in the Wii U version, he can be obtained by completing [[smashwiki:All-Star Mode|All-Star Mode]] on normal difficulty, or playing 40 VS matches. | ||
