A return to the series as the release title with the Nintendo 3DS. Twenty-four years after the first game (referencing the real-life gap between the NES classic and ''Uprising''), Medusa is revived by her minions. A now-teenage Pit is tasked with defeating Medusa and her army of monsters by Palutena, who gives Pit the Power of Flight, which allows him to fly for five minutes before his wings burn up. This allows him to get between the various areas where he fights the army on the ground. Along the way, he'll not only use the Bow of Palutena to fight his foes, but will also gather a large new repertoire of weapons with both long and short-ranged capabilities, showing off a few new tricks. | A return to the series as the release title with the Nintendo 3DS.

His bow is called the "[[Bow|Sacred Bow of Palutena]]".<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pit.html</ref> This bow is his symbol and has the added feature of being able to split into dual swords, a trait that would carry on to its appearance in ''Uprising'' and a dual functionality that would come to permeate all of the weapons in Pit's arsenal in that game. He uses both swords and bow for his Aerial, Standard and Smash Attacks, changing the weapon between three different forms to attack. His Down Special is the [[Mirror Shield]], which is used to reflect projectiles and protect Pit from attack from the front. It can be angled upward slightly. His Up Special is the Wings of Icarus, which allows him to fly freely for a short time. | ||
After obtaining the power of the Smash Ball, Pit can use his Final Smash, Palutena's Army, to call upon a swarm of [[Centurion]]s to attack his opponents. | After obtaining the power of the Smash Ball, Pit can use his Final Smash, Palutena's Army, to call upon a swarm of [[Centurion]]s to attack his opponents. | ||
Pit is one of three characters possessing wings, so he is capable of gliding. The other two are [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]] and [[bulbapedia:Charizard|Charizard]]. | |||
This is also the first game in which Pit has a voice. In the Japanese version, he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Minami Takayama|Minami Takayama]], while in the English version he is voiced by [[wikipedia:Lani Minella|Lani Minella]]. | This is also the first game in which Pit has a voice.

There is a stage called ''Skyworld'' which is based off of [[Skyworld]] in the original games. On this stage, there are breakable platforms held up by clouds. In the background, there is a temple and a statue of Palutena. Four pieces of music from ''Kid Icarus'' can be played the stage. | There is a stage called ''Skyworld'' which is based off of [[Skyworld]] in the original games.

His superior recovery, his multiple projectile-reflecting moves, and his multi-hit attacks, which include, but are not limited to, his Neutral Air attack and Forward Special, Pit is sometimes accused of being cheap or simply too easy to use effectively in matches. Without many good moves to KO with and the inability to use the [[Wings of Icarus]] again if hit in midair during the duration of the move until he lands, he is kept from a higher spot on the tier list: He currently ranks at 21st out of 38 characters on the tier list, but has held higher spots in the past. | ||
