'''Palutena''' is the goddess of light and female lead of the [[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' series]]. She serves as the damsel in distress in early games, but takes on a more proactive role in [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', providing protagonist [[Pit]] with guidance and powers from afar. In contrast to her serene, elegant appearance, and unlike [[Rosalina]], Palutena has a playful "trickster" personality that she uses to tease Pit and other characters on occasion.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Palutena is featured in [[Pit]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Palutena's Army]]. Pit calls her forth to assist him in battle, to which she then appears as a giant (not her actual size, but her chosen manifestation for this appearance). She will then summon an army of [[Centurion]]s to attack Pit's opponents, who attack by dive bombing at incredible speeds.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', Palutena appears as a playable fighter and newcomer. Unlike most other fighters, though like the [[Mii|Mii Fighter]]s, Palutena's custom special moves are not variations of the default moves but rather entirely different moves, and all of them are available from the start. A statue of Palutena also appears in [[Palutena's Temple|her temple]]. Pit can also contact her to talk about all of the fighters with [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|her guidance]] during the match at her temple in the Wii U version.

Unlike most other fighters, though like the [[Mii|Mii Fighter]]s, Palutena's custom special moves are not variations of the default moves but rather entirely different moves, and all of them are available from the start.


==Special moves==
All of Palutena's custom moves are based on the [[icaruspedia:Powers|Powers]] that appear in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Her neutral special moves are [[Autoreticle]], [[Explosive Flame]], and [[Heavenly Light]]. Her side specials are [[Reflect Barrier]], [[Angelic Missile]], and [[Super Speed]]. Palutena's down special moves are [[Counter (Kid Icarus)|Counter]], [[Lightweight]], and [[Celestial Firework]], and her up specials are [[Warp]], [[Jump Glide]], and [[Rocket Jump]]. Finally, her Final Smash is the [[Black Hole Laser]], a combination of the Black Hole and Mega Laser powers.
===Autoreticle/Explosive Flame/Heavenly Light===
:''Main articles: [[SmashWiki:Autoreticle]], [[SmashWiki:Explosive Flame]], [[SmashWiki:Heavenly Light]]


'''Autoreticle''' is Palutena's first neutral special attack, and the one given to her by default. When used, Paultena automatically targets an opponent, indicated by a reticle appearing over them, and fires three blasts from her staff at them. The move only works if the player is close enough to any fighters, however; if not, the move does nothing.
A statue of Palutena also appears in [[Palutena's Temple|her temple]]. Pit can also contact her to talk about all of the fighters with [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|her guidance]] during the match at her temple in the Wii U version.


'''Explosive Flame''' is Palutena's second neutral special move. When used, Palutena creates an explosion a set distance away from her. The move deals more damage than Autoreticle, but does not target opponents.
===''Super Mario Maker''===
 
Palutena appears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as a costume available for [[Costume Mario]]. Her sprite is based upon her appearance in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', rather than the one seen in the original ''Kid Icarus''. All of her sound effects, including the transformation, jumping, and fanfare, are taken from the Famicom Disk System version of the original ''Kid Icarus''. Pressing up on the d-pad causes her to stand facing the player.
'''Heavenly Light''' is Palutena's third neutral special. A wide column of light appears above Palutena's location, which, while it does not cause opponents to flinch, does damage them.
 
===Reflect Barrier/Angelic Missile/Super Speed===
:''Main articles: [[SmashWiki:Reflect Barrier]], [[SmashWiki:Angelic Missile]], [[SmashWiki:Super Speed]]
 
'''Reflect Barrier''' is Palutena's default side special move. When used, she puts up a barrier in front of herself that deflects any projectiles. If used near an opponent, Palutena hits them before putting up the barrier, which also pushes away any opponents.
 
'''Angelic Missile''' is Palutena's second side special. The move is similar to [[Luigi]]'s [[Luigi#Green Missle|Green Missile]] move, in that Palutena flies forward head-first to attack opponents. The move cannot be charged, however, and she can use another move afterward.
 
'''Super Speed''' is Palutena's third side special move. Using it causes Palutena to quickly dash across the battlefield, ramming into anybody in her path and damaging them.
 
===Warp/Jump Glide/Rocket Jump===
:''Main articles: [[SmashWiki:Warp]], [[SmashWiki:Jump Glide]], [[SmashWiki:Rocket Jump]]
 
'''Warp''' is Palutena's first and default up special move. When used, Palutena disappears, and reappears in a different location. The location where she reappears can be influenced by holding the control stick in a different direction after performing the move.
 
'''Jump Glide''' is Palutena's second up special move. Palutena leaps high into the air, and is able to glide around for some time before falling back to the ground, similar to the [[Peach#Peach Parasol|Peach Parasol]].
 
'''Rocket Jump''' is Palutena's third up special move. When used, Palutena creates an explosion under her that rockets her straight into the air, also damaging anybody close by.
 
===Counter/Lightweight/Celestial Firework===
:''Main articles: [[SmashWiki:Counter (Palutena)]], [[SmashWiki:Lightweight]], [[SmashWiki:Celestial Firework]]
 
'''Counter''' is Palutena's default down special attack. When used, Palutena braces herself, and if an opponent hits her she immediately counterattacks.
 
'''Lightweight''' is Palutena's second down special move. Using this move makes Palutena lighter, allowing her to jump higher and move faster.
 
'''Celestial Firework''' is Palutena's third down special attack. Palutena sends up a spark direction in front of her that sends up anybody close by before the firework detonates on them.
 
===Black Hole Laser===
{{main|SmashWiki:Black Hole Laser}}
'''Black Hole Laser''' is the name of Palutena's [[Final Smash]]. Palutena creates a black hole that draws in and traps anyone nearby, then fires a Megalaser to damage them. The Megalaser can also damage anybody that is not trapped but caught in it.

“No one can hide from the light.”
Palutena, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Palutena is the goddess of light and female lead of the Kid Icarus series. She serves as the damsel in distress in the original games, but takes on a more proactive role in Masahiro Sakurai's Kid Icarus: Uprising, providing protagonist Pit with guidance and powers from afar. In contrast to her serene, elegant appearance, and unlike Rosalina, Palutena has a playful "trickster" personality that she uses to tease Pit and other characters on occasion.

History

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Palutena is featured in Pit's Final Smash, Palutena's Army. Pit calls her forth to assist him in battle, to which she then appears as a giant (not her actual size, but her chosen manifestation for this appearance). She will then summon an army of Centurions to attack Pit's opponents, who attack by dive bombing at incredible speeds.

Palutena is also a supporting character in the Subspace Emissary. After witnessing the Subspace Bomb's effects, Palutena sends Pit to the World of Trophies to help stop the Subspace Army. Before he departs, she gives Pit her bow.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Palutena appears as a playable fighter and newcomer. Unlike most other fighters, though like the Mii Fighters, Palutena's custom special moves are not variations of the default moves but rather entirely different moves, and all of them are available from the start.

All of Palutena's custom moves are based on the Powers that appear in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Her neutral special moves are Autoreticle, Explosive Flame, and Heavenly Light. Her side specials are Reflect Barrier, Angelic Missile, and Super Speed. Palutena's down special moves are Counter, Lightweight, and Celestial Firework, and her up specials are Warp, Jump Glide, and Rocket Jump. Finally, her Final Smash is the Black Hole Laser, a combination of the Black Hole and Mega Laser powers.

A statue of Palutena also appears in her temple. Pit can also contact her to talk about all of the fighters with her guidance during the match at her temple in the Wii U version.

Super Mario Maker

Palutena appears in Super Mario Maker as a costume available for Costume Mario. Her sprite is based upon her appearance in Kid Icarus: Uprising, rather than the one seen in the original Kid Icarus. All of her sound effects, including the transformation, jumping, and fanfare, are taken from the Famicom Disk System version of the original Kid Icarus. Pressing up on the d-pad causes her to stand facing the player.

Palutena's Guidance

  • Pit: Wait a minute! Lady Palutena, you're fighting me?
  • Palutena: Don't sound so dismayed. Think of it more as a sporting event and less as...a massacre.
  • Pit: I really don't want to hurt you...
  • Viridi: That's awfully presumptuous of you, Pit!
  • Pit: Please! I know better than anyone else what Lady Palutena's capable of. After all, I fought her once before.
  • Palutena: Good luck, Pit. You're gonna need it. Of course, I won't be giving you any hints during this battle. And no powers or centurions, either!

Trivia

  • Palutena's newcomer artwork is the only one not to feature any Mario characters (unless Little Mac's artwork is counted, which features himself and Donkey Kong); it only features herself, Pit, Dark Pit, and Link. Consequently, her artwork is the one that features the second-fewest number of characters.
