Specifically in [[Dark Pit]]'s, she will mention that she is still enemies with Pit and Palutena, despite them being allies previously to defeat the [[Chaos Kin]] and [[Hades]]. She especially seems to hold a strong grudge against Pit, likely due to the fact she has not forgiven his actions of destroying her [[Reset Bomb Depot]], and prevented her goal of exterminating the humans.

Viridi makes an appearance in the [[Reset Bomb Forest]] stage, once again temporarily shown in the background before the bomb detonates. The wise-cracking goddess of nature also returns to [[smashwiki:Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] on [[Palutena's Temple]]. She has brand new conversations for some of the veteran fighters, the ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' DLC characters, and the ''Ultimate'' newcomers. | |||
The Mii costume of Viridi is available again as well. | |||
Hynden Walch did not return to voice Viridi for the new Palutena's Guidance conversations, however, her voice can still be heard in the archived conversations for majority of the veteran fighters, and in the Reset Bomb Forest. Dayci Brookshire replaced Walch as Viridi's English voice actor<ref>[https://twitter.com/Dayci/status/1071117564397277185 Twitter: Dayci Brookshire (December 7, 2018)]</ref>. Makiko Ohmoto reprises Viridi in the Japanese version. | |||

*Viridi could be based on any number of Greek goddesses of nature such as [[wikipedia:Gaia (mythology)|Gaia]], [[wikipedia:Artemis|Artemis]], and [[wikipedia:Demeter|Demeter]]. Given that she calls her soldiers, "children", and the fact that her Japanese name comes from the English word, "nature", she may be inspired by the concept of Mother Nature, the personification of nature itself. | |||

*In a conversation in Chapter 16, it is strongly implied that Viridi may have feelings for Pit. This would explain why she helps him in later chapters. | *In a conversation in Chapter 16, it is strongly implied that Viridi may have feelings for Pit.
