In earlier games, Pit appeared as a very young-looking, cherubic angel wearing a simple white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs. He had short brown hair, and small white wings that are incapable of flight. In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' and beyond, he dons a gold laurel crown. Since his reappearance in ''Brawl'', he was given a major redesign by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Pit now looks to be a boy in his early teens, about 13 years of age<ref>http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/</ref>, with a height around 160 cm (5'3") tall<ref>http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/File:KIUCharacterHeightChart.png</ref>. Sakurai used [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]] from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']] series as a guide for Pit's current look (including the approval of Pit's [[Toru Osawa|creator]])<ref>http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/15390/sakurai-speaks-on-brawl-character-development</ref>. The modern design has blue eyes and many tufts in Pit's hair including a single unruly cowlick. His chiton remains white, now decorated with red and gold hems with vine-like patterns. It is fastened on the shoulder by a single gold [[wikipedia:fibula (brooch)|fibula]] with a red gem embedded in it. He wears the outfit with a brown belt and a gold triangular buckle. Pit also appears to wear a skin-tight navy blue undershirt and shorts beneath. The angel now has a pair of brown and gold cuffs on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm, and another gold ring on his right thigh. Pit's sandals are brown, decorated with crossing beige bands and fuzzy white trims. | In earlier games, Pit appeared as a very young-looking, cherubic angel wearing a simple white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs.

Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic. He is generally very upbeat no matter what the situation (although he can be genuinely serious when needed), which certain characters, including both foe and ally, can find it a nuisance. Pit frequently banters, cracks jokes, makes outrageous puns, and constantly breaks the fourth wall. He has made references to other Nintendo games such as [[mariowiki:Dr. Mario (game)|''Dr. Mario'']], [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'']], and [[wikipedia:Nintendogs|''Nintendogs'']]. Pit also possesses a strong sense of justice, and believes in protecting humanity and the heavens from those that seek their destruction. His loyalty to Palutena is unmatched, and he always addresses her as "Lady Palutena". Pit even states the main reason he fights in the first place is because of her. However, his absolute trust and dependence on Palutena has shown to be a major weakness, as Pit's courage and morale (and in some cases, his sanity) will falter if she is not present. Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. Even at one point, he was called a "video game historian". Pit also has a large appetite (which may have rubbed off from Palutena) and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from. Overall, his mind never seems to be too far from food even during battles. He is shown to be a devout lover of hot springs, which Palutena (and once, Viridi) will occasionally conjure up for him. Pit strongly follows the "angel's code of conduct" to the point he even refuses to remove his clothes when entering water. However, the truth behind this is because the angel is frugal and wants to save on laundry. | Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic.

Due to his young age, Pit is childish, gullible and naive. He is unfortunately not very bright either. Pit is illiterate and has trouble understanding complex vocabulary used by Palutena. Some characters even sarcastically insult his intelligence, and his inability to detect sarcasm makes things easier for others (Ironically, Pit can sometimes make sarcastic statements himself). Pit can become oversensitive, especially when someone brings up the topic regarding his inability to fly, or when someone insults his goddess. He can even be slightly narcissistic at times, believing he is an attractive-looking person. However, he can become insecure when being compared to someone else with better looks. According to Palutena, Pit embarrasses easily, and Pit himself admits he gets stage fright. Despite his position as captain of an army, he seems to strongly prefer working alone (with the exception of Palutena), as Pit shows reluctance whenever someone offers help, and the angel states that he doesn't need his or her assistance. Regardless of Pit's quirky and sometimes immature behavior, Palutena and the centurions view him as a respectable servant and captain. | Due to his young age, Pit is childish, gullible and naive.

Pit returns in the latest instalments of the popular series as a starter veteran. His slightly updated appearance and new moves are inspired as seen in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. He now has the [[Upperdash Arm]], [[Guardian Orbitars]], and [[Power of Flight]] as his new specials. | Pit returns in the latest instalments of the popular series as a starter veteran. He was the first ''Brawl''-originated veteran to be announced back in E3 2013. His slightly updated appearance and new moves are inspired as seen in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. He now has the [[Upperdash Arm]], [[Guardian Orbitars]], and [[Power of Flight]] as his new specials. Pit also gained a new [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]], which is now the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]. However, he lost the ability to [[smashwiki:glide|glide]], as the technique has been removed from the games. | ||
If a player uses Pit's down taunt on the [[Palutena's Temple]] stage in the Wii U version, it will activate [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]]. | |||
Antony Del Rio, who portrayed Pit in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' returned to voice him in this game, but was left uncredited. | |||
