Kid Icarus Float (AKDE/P/J 412-Kid Icarus Float) is an AR Card used for the AR Battle Mode in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is a Palutena's Army card, and the first card to feature an object that does not originate from the game itself, being a float that was constructed in Japan to promote Kid Icarus: Uprising. A statue of Pit and Palutena was created as a reference for the float. Three of these statues are known to exist, with one being made for the float designer and another being in Masahiro Sakurai's personal collection.[1]

Idol Description

"On August 4th, 2011, this float made its debut during a summer festival in the Aomori Prefecture of Japan. Reaching a height of almost 40 feet and weighing five tons, this float awed spectators with its depiction of Pit and Palutena."
