*Pit also draws inspiration from Icarus, the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off. This alludes to the story of Icarus, whose wax-and-feather wings allowed him to fly, but, caught up in the moment, he disobeyed his father, Daedalus, and flew too close to the sun, causing the wax holding the wings together to fall off, causing him to plummet to his death. A similar allusion is made in ''Uprising'', when Palutena notes that the Miracle of Flight can only sustain Pit for five minutes before his wings burn up, causing him to fall, and he must reach his destination before that happens. | *Pit also draws inspiration from Icarus, the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off.

*And finally, Pit draws inspiration from Biblical angels. Angels in the Bible are commonly depicted as benevolent messengers and guardians. Pit's position as Palutena's bodyguard and a protector of humans fits as a role of a guardian angel. There are also hints of Pit being a messenger, however he has never really been seen doing such tasks in games. | *And finally, Pit draws inspiration from Biblical angels.

*Pit was supposed to be in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Nintendo 64, but was cut out due to his low popularity at that time. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Pit appears as a trophy, with the words "Will he ever fight again?" imprinted on it, which would be a foreshadowing of his eventual inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. | *Pit was supposed to be in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Nintendo 64, but was cut out due to his low popularity at that time and an issue with the animation of his wings.
