The '''Underworld''' (冥府界 ''Meifukai'', lit. "Hades World") is a natural vertical maze, ultimately opening to the [[Overworld]]. It's a dank, dark area filled with evil monsters. Of course, the twisted creatures that inhabit the Underworld only provided a sympathetic ear and allies to [[Medusa]], who was banished here by [[Palutena]]. Staging a coup from here, Medusa started her ultimately successful invasion of [[Angel Land]] and installed herself as ruler of the [[Palace in the Sky]].

Here's where Pit's daring escape from the dungeons begin, and it's not an easy trip. Though this area begins with long, flat platforms, it quickly becomes a tricky jumping gauntlet and Pit's foes are uncompromising.

The level starts out as the previous level, which long platforms. However, climbing is a bigger focus here. The ice platforms are introduced early here and are located throughout the level. If Pit has been vigilant about slaying monsters, he'll likely get his first [[Arrow of Strength]] here.
