[[File:ConverUp.jpg|thumb|Pit having a conversation with Palutena in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'']]
Palutena's Guidance is based upon the conversations Pit would have with other characters throughout ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. The dialogue appears on either the bottom screen or the top screen, with gameplay happening on the top screen and character portraits appearing on the bottom screen. The conversations primarily involve Pit, [[Palutena]], [[Viridi]], Medusa, and Hades talking about the task at hand. Other characters (both friend and foe) can also participate in them, though many conversations end up going on tangents, or do not even relate to the task at all. Some conversations show up randomly and are dependent on what chapter and segment are being played, or even Pit's selected weapon.

Note: The G-Diffuser system (short for "Gravity Diffuser") is the anti-gravity device that allows F-Zero machines to float off of the surface of the racetracks. The same technology is used for Arwings, [[Landmaster]]s, and other vehicles seen in the {{uv|Star Fox}} series; it is regularly implied that the two series are set in the same universe.

Note: The conversations about Olimar and [[Alph]] are identical, hence Pit not referring to them by name. Alph is the only alternate character (that isn't a simple gender swap) whose Guidance conversation isn't different from the main character's.

*Viridi's remarks about Chrom being similar to Ike also reference the reason for Chrom's exclusion from ''SSB4''; after the reveal of Lucina and Robin as playable characters, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that Chrom was ultimately not included as a playable character because he believed the sword-wielding character would end up being too similar to either Marth or Ike. Ironically, upon Chrom's inclusion in ''Ultimate'', he ended up being a clone of [[Roy]] (who was not playable upon ''Smash 4''’s release before returning as DLC) rather than Ike.

Note: Palutena calling Bayonetta a "wearer of questionable outfits" is likely based on her default clothes being made entirely of her own hair, which also exposes parts of her body when using the Wicked Weaves (an aspect which is heavily censored in ''Smash Bros.''). Viridi's advice telling Pit to "just wiggle around" out of her combos may jokingly reference the derisive "Just [[SDI]]" meme that appeared in response to complaints about Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'', as SDI is one of the most effective methods to escape Bayonetta's aerial strings.

Note: Palutena referring to Chrom's sword as simply "Falchion" (as opposed to Marth's Exalted Falchion and Lucina's Parallel Falchion) was originally "Sealed Sword Falchion" in the Japanese version, which is what Chrom's sword prior to its upgrade is called in ''Awakening''. The localization of ''Awakening'' changed it to simply Falchion, and ''Ultimate'' followed suit with this.
