A return to the series as the release title with the Nintendo 3DS. Twenty- | A return to the series as the release title with the 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 of Palutena 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. | ||
====Single Player==== | |||
{{Spoiler}} | |||
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," that 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. | |||
Later, Medusa sends the Underworld Army straight to Skyworld, likely in retaliation for Gaol's defeat, and Pit heads out to defeat the [[Hewdraw]] before his time in flight ran out. Then, Palutena sends Pit to the Reaper Fortress to disable the obscurity the Reapers were using to hide [[Pandora]], the Goddess of Calamity. While there, he runs into the dreaded [[Eggplant Wizard]], lamenting that he "[doesn't] want to be an eggplant again." He then explains to Palutena that he visited the hospital so many times in his last adventure to defeat Medusa that they named it after him- "The hosPITal. Get it?" Palutena ignores the joke and he continues on to defeat the Great Reaper, thus completing his mission. | |||
Having found Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit, Palutena sends Pit there next but both encounter mind-boggling troubles within the Labyrinth, and Pit remarks that "the name is the only straight thing about this place." Once he reaches his destination, Pit fights through and Palutena explains that he's looking for the Mirror of Truth, an object that creates a copy of the true thoughts and feelings of whomever looks into it, and that Medusa and Pandora are using it to duplicate the monsters of the Underworld Army. Pit reaches Pandora and defeats her once, and she shows him the Mirror of Truth, which he immediately launches himself toward to break. However, just as he does, the Mirror casts a reflection of him and creates [[Dark Pit]], to Pit's shock and confusion. Pandora states that Dark Pit would be "[Pit's] escort out of this life," but Dark Pit hits her and teams up with Pit to defeat her. However, as soon as she falls, Dark Pit delivers a viscous kick to Pit's stomach and knocks him back, explaining that it was "for ripping off [his] look." Pit argues that he was the original, but Dark Pit ignores him and dives through Pandora's remnants, gaining an ability of his own to fly indefinitely, and he leaves before Pit can pursue him. Palutena tracks Dark Pit down and sends Pit after him, fearing that he may be allied with the Underworld Army, but an exchange between Dark Pit and Medusa reveals that he has no intentions of aligning himself with her. Pit pursues him through the air to a location of ruins and battles him several times before Dark Pit finally retreats, claiming that he "was going easy on [Pit]." | |||
Palutena and Pit return to the focus of defeating Medusa and he heads for the Seafloor Palace, meeting [[Poseidon]] along the way before he enters the Palace to defeat [[Thanatos]], the God of Death, who has in his possession the Underworld Key, a gem of sorts that allows the owner to travel into the Underworld. Pit defeats him and claims the Underworld Key, but learns from Palutena that he'll need the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] to challenge Medusa along with the fact that said Treasures were stolen by the [[Space Pirates]]. Pit goes to retrieve them before the Underworld Army can, defeating the Pirates and a [[Space Kraken]]. | |||
Pit then dons the Three Sacred Treasures and heads to the Underworld, fighting through both her usual minions and monsters crafted to resemble Twinbellows, Hewdraw Reborn, and Pandora, before finally challenging her to a three-part battle. Pit defeats her and returns to Skyworld, believing his battle is over, but [[Hades]], the lord of the Underworld reveals himself as the mastermind behind Medusa's resurrection and the invasion of the Underworld. Pit changes targets to Hades and heads to a volcanic area to fight off the Underworld's forces, only to find that Hades was after something called the Wish Seed, an object that the [[Phoenix]] was guarding. Pit remarks that his wish would be "to fly on [his] own," and he goes to defeat the Phoenix, despite learning that the Wish Seed was a fake, sparking a beacon to the humans that the Phoenix had been beaten. Hades uses the beacon as an opportunity to alert the humans that the Wish Seed had been stolen, leading to a great war between them for the chance to get it. | |||
Pit embarks to survey the damage and see if he can't find a way to stop the chaotic fighting, but is quickly cut off by the actions of [[Viridi]], the Goddess of Nature, who sends a [[Reset Bomb]] to wipe out the warring humans due to their reckless nature and the ways they destroy the earth. Pit enters the area affected by the Reset Bomb to find it covered in dense vegetation. He frees the few human survivors and tracks down [[Cragalanche]], a rocky member of Viridi's Forces of Nature. Pit defeats it and returns to Skyworld. Viridi's actions begin a third side of the war between the Underworld and Skyworld: Palutena and Pit trying to protect the humans, Viridi attempting to save any living thing but the humans, and Hades and his destructive ways of wiping just about everything out. | |||
Pit goes to the Reset Bomb Depot to put a stop to Viridi's production of her ultimate weapons and, despite her avid protests and sending of her Forces of Nature to get in his way, he destroys the Depot. Later, he heads to the Lunar Sanctum to challenge [[Arlon]], one of Viridi's high-ranking followers, only to be ambushed by Dark Pit while there. Pit triumphs over both adversaries and effectively blows up the Lunar Sanctum, unknowingly freeing a creature known as the [[Chaos Kin]]. Pit then heads to defeat [[Phosphora]], another of Viridi's loyal followers, putting a large dent in Viridi's tactics. | |||
However, before they can do anything else, Hades, Viridi, and Palutena find that their world is under attack by a mysterious race of nothingness known as the [[Aurum]], and Palutena sends Pit to deal with the threat before they destroy everything. The three sides make a temporary alliance to stop the Aurum. Pit, with a little help from [[Pyrron]], self-proclaimed God of the Sun, destroys the Aurum fleet. However, Pyrron betrays them and fuses with the Aurum brain, leading to Pit being unable to destroy it and ends up losing the Power of Flight before his wings could burn. Pit regrets having never learned to read, but is saved by the Forces of Nature and the Centurions. He makes his way back to the Aurum brain and destroys it, causing an end to the Aurum invasion. | |||
Unfortunately, before he can celebrate, Pit finds himself having been turned into a ring of sorts. However, a little girl comes across the ring and put it on, causing Pit to take control of her. He finds that a nearby human town is under attack and sees the Centurions among the chaos, then decides to investigate to the regret of putting the girl in danger. However, the girl trips and falls, losing the ring, and it is picked up by a dog. Pit, using the dog, hurries to the town and finds that his body is a part of the battle, much to his confusion. He then finds Magnus once again, who takes the ring and inspects it, but drops it to Pit's disappointment. Pit calls out, begging Magnus to pick the ring up, and Magnus eventually returns and puts it on. The two then find that Pit has taken control of Magnus's body and they can communicate due to the connection, and Magnus explains that three years had gone by since they fought Dark Lord Gaol. Palutena had apparently disappeared for a time, and later returned with her army to fight against the humans. Pit can barely believe what he heard, and uses Magnus's body to recover his own. | |||
Shortly later, Viridi retrieves him and sends him to Skyworld, where he discovers that his home had been ruined. Palutena tells him that she was sick of dealing with the ungrateful humans and Pit guesses that something else was pulling her strings. She responds, telling him that the only puppet there was him. Pit then retreats to Viridi for the time being and then goes to obtain the Lightning Chariot, hoping to use it to break through the barrier surrounding Palutena's temple. After battling its former master, Pit successfully takes it and breaks into the temple, finding that Palutena had been possessed by the Chaos Kin. Pit removes it and frees her, only to find that the Chaos Kin had stolen her spirit and disappeared within the Chaos Vortex. Dark Pit shows up, claiming that the two needed to rescue Palutena's spirit as quickly as possible. | |||
Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex to pursue the Chaos Kin and eventually tracks it down, only to have it disappear for a time and trap him within an endurance battle between him and itself. Dark Pit shows up later to help him through it, and the two defeat the Chaos Kin. However, as Pit is checking on Palutena, the remnants of the Chaos Kin capture Dark Pit and send him off the edge of the platform the three were on. Without a second thought, Pit jumps after him and begs Viridi to let him fly. Viridi refuses, telling him that it would just cause his wings to catch fire. Pit replies that he doesn't care, realizing that the Chaos Kin was only going to destroy Dark Pit, and Viridi reluctantly gives him the Power of Flight once again. Pit catches Dark Pit and Viridi sends them back to the platform where Palutena waits, and they find that Pit's wings had been nearly burned off, leaving them in ruin. Palutena cradles his unconscious body, lamenting the state of her captain and remembering his former wish- to fly on his own. | |||
In payment for saving his life, Dark Pit heads to the City of Souls and the Rewind Spring in order to restore Pit's wings, only to find along the way that Hades had been using souls not only to craft his army, but also as a meal. Dark Pit continues on and reaches the Spring, where he battles a resurrected Pandora. After defeating her, Palutena sends Pit to him and he dips the unconscious angel's wings into the Spring, ultimately healing him. Pit revives and Dark Pit hurries off the platform, only to find that he lost his ability to fly and Viridi saves him from falling. Pit returns to Skyworld, ready to fight. | |||
Pit dons the Three Sacred Treasures once again and heads out to confront Hades, but Hades ends up destroying the Treasures a short time into the fight and ultimately eats the angel. Pit fights his way though Hades's bowels until he comes across the god's heart, which he then defeats. Once the battle is over, Dark Pit saves him using the Lightning Chariot and Palutena retrieves them both before Hades can attack again. Hades admits that the attack had hurt, but triumphantly points out that "at least [he's] not dead." | |||
Having lost the Three Sacred Treasures, Palutena sends Pit to the smith who created them in the first place. Once there, he challenges Pit to pass three trials, involving Pit's proving himself by defeating recreations of former bosses along with the new weapon itself. Pit triumphs and claims the Great Sacred Treasure, a robotic weapon that he mans from the inside. Pit uses it to head out and confront Hades once again, and manages to weaken the lord of the Underworld significantly. Unfortunately, Hades all but destroys the Great Sacred Treasure and prepares an attack that will ultimately end Pit, but a revived Medusa shows up and stops him before he destroys her. Palutena instructs Pit to take the cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure and focuses her power on charging it as Viridi gives Pit the Power of Flight. Once the charge is complete, Pit fires it and defeats Hades, bringing the threat of the Underworld to an end. | |||
Pit then flies over the nearby land to check on its state, reflecting on the battle. While he is doing so, Dark Pit joins him, also using the Power of Flight, and Pit heads to follow him toward the horizon. | |||
