| - Kid Icarus is a video game franchise created by Nintendo, based on Greek mythology. The series follows the adventures of the angel Pit as he battles monsters and the forces of darkness in his home of Angel Land.
- The series focuses on the main protagonist, Pit, on his various quests to help the goddess Palutena and return peace to Skyworld. The setting of the games is heavily influenced by Greco-Roman culture and borrows many elements from Greek mythology in particular, with several characters bearing names and resemblances to ancient Greek figures and deities. While the original Kid Icarus was received relatively well, it was overshadowed by the release of Metroid, leaving it to fall into obscurity. Another installment to the series, Of Myths and Monsters, was released 4 years later; although it was also met favorably, it fell into obscurity as well. The series remained dormant for 17 years until the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which introduced Pit as one of the game's playable characters. His inclusion in the game, as well as the new design he was given, sparked new interest in the series. This would eventually lead to the creator of the Smash Bros. series, Masahiro Sakurai, taking the Kid Icarus series in a new direction and releasing Uprising, the long-awaited sequel to the original game.
