Pit


 * For fighter info, see Pit (SSBB).

Pit (ピット, Pitto) is the main playable character of the Kid Icarus games.

Character description
Pit is an angel from Kid Icarus, who was given his sacred bow by the Goddess, Palutena, to stop the dark Goddess, Medusa.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee
The older design of Pit appears on the trophy named after him. Pit, supposedly, was one of three "retro" characters who were considered for inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Melee, alongside Balloon Fighter and the Ice Climbers. Balloon Fighter and Pit were included (albeit as trophies), but the Ice Climbers barely ousted Pit for the title of playable character.

As a trophy

 * The head of Palutena's personal bodyguards, Pit traveled near and far to gather Three Sacred Treasures that would help him defeat the evil goddess of darkness, Medusa, and free Palutena, the goddess of light. Pit couldn't fly with his little wings; only the Wings of Pegasus let him take flight. Will Pit ever fight again?

Pit appears as a new playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He has been heavily redesigned from his original appearance, taking on more realistic proportions, as his trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee did. He is seen using all three of the Sacred Treasures from Kid Icarus as his Neutral B, Up B, and Down B, albeit with some changes from the original game. He is also seen splitting the Sacred Bow of Palutena into two sharp blades, presumably for his standard attacks. His Final Smash is Palutena's Army, where he calls on Palutena to send her army of angel centurions against the other characters.
