Kid Icarus (universe)

Kid Icarus is a video game released for the NES in 1986 in Japan, and in 1987 elsewhere. It runs on the same engine as Metroid, and the two games were released within a short time span of the other. Kid Icarus is usually frowned upon in comparison to Metroid, because of its strict linearity, and Metroid's focus on nonlinear exploration.

Pit, the main character, will be a combatant in Brawl.
