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. | At the beginning of the first game, Pit began as a young angel boy, trapped in the [[Underworld]].

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. | 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]].

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. | A return to the series as the flagship title for the [[nwiki:Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS]].

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. | Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signaling Medusa's return.

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. | ||

Here, he was referred to as "Kid Icarus" and, after initial suspicion, became Kevin's loyal sidekick next to Duke. He was voiced by [[wikipedia:Alessandro Juliani|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 Sacred Treasures. Kid Icarus came from the "Mount Icarus" realm. | ||
