(The Japanese title is the same. Source: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/eshop/vc/rblj/ Having the title show up in the info box 3 times is redundant, but when it's left blank it defaults to the Japanese title of Uprising.) |

}}'''''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters''''' was first released for the Game Boy in November 1991. Despite it being developed in Japan, the game | }}'''''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters''''' is the second game in the [[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 strangely never released in its originated country. 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 a [[password]] entry feature. | ||

She summoned a soothsayer, who told her that this was not just a dream, and it would soon come to pass that a demon by the name of [[Orcos]] would soon attack Angel Land. | ||
Palutena quickly summoned the hero, [[Pit]], and told him of the crisis at hand. She then sent Pit on a mission: to obtain the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] (the [[Wings of Pegasus]], the [[Silver Armor]], and the [[Arrow of Light]]) and to become stronger so that he may be worthy of using them when Orcos finally attacks. | Palutena quickly summoned the hero, [[Pit]], and told him of the crisis at hand.

==Canon Debatability== | |||
As the game originally never released in Japan, and lacks any connections to ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', some fans believe ''Of Myths and Monsters'' may no longer be canon to the series. | |||
