Dark Pit is a doppelgänger of [[Pit]] and his primary rival. He was created after Pit destroyed the [[Mirror of Truth]]. He is nicknamed "Pittoo" (in English releases), "Tip" (in some European releases), or "Burapi" (in Japanese releases) by [[Palutena]] and Pit. At first, he serves as an enemy to Pit and attempts to defeat him multiple times, but eventually allies with his light counterpart in later parts of the game. | ||

Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious personality. He rarely smiles outside of the occasional smirk. Dark Pit attacks with more aggression and will sometimes use cheap hits in order to win, such as when he kicks the unsuspecting Pit after [[Pandora]] was defeated. Unlike Pit, Dark Pit hates the idea of being bounded down as a servant and would rather follow his own orders. This is noticeable when Dark Pit refused to follow Pandora's orders despite being created to obey her and later refused [[Medusa]]'s offer to help him take down Pit, likely thinking that she would take command of him in exchange. However, it does appear that he is willing to work for someone to get what he wants, shown when he joins the [[Forces of Nature]] to defeat Pit. | Being a mirror of Pit, Dark Pit has a notably more serious personality.

Dark Pit appears to be sensitive about his identity. In early parts of the game, he constantly fights Pit because he is supposedly "copying his act", and dislikes being called "Pittoo" by Pit and Palutena. Dark Pit does occasionally team up with Pit, ether unintentionally or to complete a similar goal. He is commonly described as being mysterious, likely due to the fact the reason behind his desire to prove superiority over Pit is largely unknown. Because Dark Pit came from the Mirror of Truth, it's implied that Dark Pit is actually a personification of Pit's negative inner feelings. | Dark Pit appears to be sensitive about his identity.

Dark Pit is later shown to have a dry sense of humor, or at least an ego to match Pit's, such as when the two yell out their "pre-boss-battle rallying cry". Similarly to his light counterpart, he seems to enjoy playing other Nintendo games, as he mentioned ''[[wikipedia:Brain Age|Brain Age]]'' at one point. Dark Pit also appears to have inherited Pit's strong will and soul, as [[Hades]] comments how he finds the dark angel's soul to be very desirable due to its power. However, unlike Pit, Dark Pit is quite sharp and bright, and is far less gullible and naive. He sees things from a third party view due to his independence. This is shown when he accuses all the gods of being the cause of the chaos and wars, obviously not caring about the fact that they are powerful omnipotent figures.

Despite his name and appearance, it is important to note that Dark Pit is not villainous by any means. He possesses the sense of what to deem right or wrong, and acts accordingly based on that sense. This can be seen when he finds out that Hades has been using human souls to craft his [[Underworld Army]], and agrees that the evil deity needs to be stopped. Despite his lack of affiliation with the goddess of light, Dark Pit does seem to care about [[Palutena]], as he aids in rescuing her from the [[Chaos Kin]], and states that while eating souls is bad enough, going after the soul of a goddess is just vile. Also, despite everything he had done and what Pit had sacrificed for him, he's still somewhat closed off and perhaps uncomfortable with facing Pit after everything that had happened between them. | Despite his name and appearance, it is important to note that Dark Pit is not villainous by any means.

Although Dark Pit technically does not appear in this game, Pit has a black palette swap that likely served as an inspiration for the character in ''Uprising''. | Although Dark Pit technically does not appear in this game, Pit has a black palette swap that likely served as an inspiration for the character in ''Uprising''. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] described this costume to be that of a "fallen angel" <ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html Super Smash Bros. DOJO! (Official Super Smash Bros. Brawl Website): Technique - Color Changes]</ref>. The popularity of this particular color change has also developed a popular fan nickname known as "Kuro Pit" ("Kuro" being the Japanese word for black). | ||
