Medusa would not go quietly, however. She began building an army of demons and monsters. With this army, she broke out of the Underworld and waged war against Palutena's army. The latter's army suffered many casualties and Palutena herself was imprisoned in the [[Palace in the Sky]]. | Medusa would not go quietly, however. She began building an army of demons and monsters.

Medusa’s army also killed off most of Palutena’s angel followers, leaving only a young angel named Pit because he lacked the ability to fly. Using the last of her power, Palutena granted Pit a magical [[Bow]] and entrusted him with the duty of defeating Medusa and saving Angel Land. To do this, however, Pit would have to reclaim the [[Three Sacred Treasures]]. These sacred items rightfully belonged to Palutena, but Medusa stole them and gave them to her three most powerful minions. Pit would have to escape the Underworld, which would prove easy since most of Medusa's forces were in the Palace in the Sky. Pit must also travel through two other realms, the [[Overworld]] and the [[Skyworld]], before reaching the Palace in the Sky. | |||
The game also has five different endings, depending on how well the player did throughout the game. In the NES version, the "worst" ending has Pit rewarded only a helmet, while in the "best" ending, he becomes an adult and receives a kiss from Palutena. In the Famicom version, Pit is turned into a [[Specknose]] for the "worst" ending, and becomes a grownup in the "best" ending, but does not receive a kiss from Palutena. | |||
