Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters: Difference between revisions

}}'''''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'''''  is the second game in the [[Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' series]] and was first released for the Game Boy in North America on November 5, 1991, and later in Europe on May 21, 1992. Despite it being developed in Japan, the game never released there originally. It is a sequel to the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' and uses the same engine as ''[[Metroidwiki:Metroid II: Return of Samus|Metroid II: Return of Samus]]''. As such, the characters are larger and more detailed, but also take up more screen space when compared to the original. To make up for this, Pit can look around him when the game is paused, before his inventory pops up (this only works when not in any Chambers). This title uses a battery backup rather than the [[password]] entry feature used in its predecessor.

The following is the game's story as told through an in-game prompt:

''"Goddess [[Palutena]], the ruler of [[Angel Land]], had a vivid dream of an [[Orcos|evil force]] invading their beautiful world. She called the valiant warrior [[Pit]], and sent him into a program of intense training for the upcoming attack. Pit must now find the [[Three Sacred Treasures|three sacred treasures]] hidden in Angel Land. Be brave Pit! Your long mission is just beginning!"''

Pit's goal is to, once again, proceed through each world and their four stages, and obtain the [[Sacred Casket]] guarded by the [[Fortress]] Guardian. Depending on his performance, he will gain the ability to use more of the Sacred Treasures, though he will always be allowed to use the [[Wings of Pegasus]]. Even if he doesn't qualify for use of some of the Treasures, [[Zeus]] will give him a second chance in two training rooms located in the last stage.
