The '''''Kid Icarus'' series''' is a franchise of action games created by [[Nintendo]]. The first game in the series was ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', originally released in Japan in 1986, and in North America and Europe in 1987. ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' was released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The second game in the series, a sequel to ''Kid Icarus'', was ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''. ''Of Myths and Monsters'' was released on the [[Game Boy]] in North America in 1991, and in Europe in 1992. ''Of Myths and Monsters'' never saw a Japanese release. For sixteen years, [[Pit]], the main protagonist of the series, never had a playable role in a game. This changed with the third installment of the [[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where [[Pit]] starred as a playable character, and [[Skyworld]] appeared as a stage. Four years later, ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' was released, marking the third installment in the ''Kid Icarus'' series. ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' was the first new ''Kid Icarus'' game to be released in twenty years.
