In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Pit's black palette swap from Brawl, which was later used as an inspiration for Dark Pit's design.

One of Pit's palette swap in this game is a black colored Pit described on Smash Bros. DOJO as a "fallen angel". It's possible that this palette swap served as a basis

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U

As a playable character

Dark Pit briefly appeared at the end of Palutena's reveal trailer and in the background of her promotional poster, and was later revealed as a playable character from the ESRB leak. He functions mostly as a clone of Pit, down to the very meaning of the word: his entire moveset and even his attributes (such as air speed and dash speed) are completely the same as Pit's, with the only differences between them being two of his specials, Silver Bow and Electroshock Arm, his forward tilt inflicting less knockback than Pit's, and his Final Smash, Dark Pit Staff.

In addition, Dark Pit was originally planned to be an alternate costume of Pit, but became a separate character due to a designer having already modeled the Electroshock Arm, as well as Masahiro Sakurai wanting Dark Pit to have his own Final Smash, the Dark Pit Staff.

Trophies

Dark Pit

Pit's mysterious, black-clad doppelgänger, Dark Pit. (Some call him Pittoo, but he really doesn't like that.) When he first appears, he immediately goes after both Pit and the Underworld Army. In Smash Bros., he uses moves a lot like Pit's, though both his bow and his Sacred Treasures are different.

Dark Pit (Alt.)

Dark Pit's Guardian Orbitars special puts up shields of light on either side of you to block attacks, deflect projectiles, and push back any enemies who are too close. You can even use the shields to protect against attacks from above and below. If they take too many hits, though, they'll vanish and become unusable for a while.

Trivia

• Dark Pit and Wario are the two playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series to appears as a palette swap for another character before making their playable debut.
  • However, Dark Pit made his debut four years following the release of Brawl, which makes him the first playable character to appear as an alternate costume before becoming a fully-fledged character.
