Skyworld is the third area of both Kid Icarus and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. It is between the Overworld, and the Palace in the Sky.

Appearances

Kid Icarus

This is a vertical stage, much like the Underworld, and Pit can expect many of the same same attack patterns from the foes encountered here. The infamous Komayto can be found here and Pit needs to be careful that none of his weaponry is stolen by a Pluton Fly. Pit must be ready for the Palace in the Sky when he clears the Fortress, as there are no chambers in the last stage.

This area is generally composed of tricky jumps and lots of fall-through clouds. Pit will need to be light on his feet to avoid falling.


Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters

Pit must travel through the Sky World Tower on the penultimate leg of his journey. The Sky World Tower consists mostly of clouds and spiky thorns.

Stage 3-1

This is a relatively easy intro into the Sky World Tower. This area consists mostly of small platforms, some of which are moving. The second half of the stage consists of fiery pits and icy platforms, and Octus appears to harass Pit.

Enemies: Komayto, Octus, Reaper, Snake

Chambers: Bat Chamber, Sacred Chamber, Store, Treasure Chamber

Stage 3-2

This stage starts off foreboding, with dark blocks, fiery pits, and Centurion statues everywhere. However, it won't take long to ascend into frosty plateaus and stacks of thorns. There's a Hot Springs hidden behind a fairly obvious pillar once Pit reaches the cloud platforms. The end of the stage returns to the dark architecture, and Pit will have to navigate over fiery pits on small stone platforms.

Enemies: Komayto, Lunus, Merc, Reaper, Snake, Spitball Blob

Chambers: Bat Chamber, Hot Springs, Sacred Chamber, Store (including Black Marketeer), Treasure Chamber

Stage 3-3

The third stage of the Sky World Tower starts off with Pit needing to make large leaps over fiery pits (though breaking through two layers of wall in the pit above the starting point will yield a Hot Springs). This stage will be a great challenge to the angel, as he must gather all of his platforming skills to navigate the rows of thorns, moving platforms, and fire pits. About halfway up, the scenery becomes a lot more standard, consisting of clouds and columns, and patrolled by Mercs. Once Pit starts seeing brick, he's very close to the exit.

Enemies: Komayto, Lunus, Merc, Octus, Reaper, Snake, Spitball Blob

Chambers: Bat Chamber, Hot Springs, Information Center, Sacred Chamber, Store (including a Black Marketeer), Treasure Chamber

Stage 3-4

The Fortress isn't too much different than previous ones, but with one twist; Pit will need to succumb to the Eggplant Curse in order to get to the end. With both a Nurse and Hot Springs close by the Guardian's chamber, Pit will be fully prepared for the Fire Serpent.

Enemies: Eggplant Wizard, Fireball, Fire Serpent, Fuzz Ball, Gubble, Slime, Snake, Spunky, Stone Golem

Chambers: Hospitals, Hot Springs, Store


Kid Icarus: Uprising

Skyworld is present in the game. However, we do not see any temples or statues in the trailer of the game except for the Temple of Palutena. It has been confirmed that the chapter, Heads of the Hewdraw, takes place in Skyworld and the town that lies below it.


Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Skyworld makes an appearance in the fighting game Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a usable stage. Four pieces of music from Kid Icarus are playable here, as well as others. This stage features breakable platforms held up by clouds that can be destroyed if they are struck with enough force. Players are able to fall through the clouds. The stage features Greek-style temples and a large statue of Palutena in the background.
