'''''Kid Icarus''''' ({{ja|光神話 パルテナの鏡|Hikari shinwa: Parutena no Kagami}}, ''Myth of Light: The Mirror of Palutena'') is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by [[Nintendo]] for the Famicom Disk System in 1986 and the {{s|nwiki|Nintendo Entertainment System}} in 1987. It is the first game in the ''Kid Icarus'' series, the second being ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', released on the Game Boy. Another sequel for the SNES, ''Kid Icarus 2'', was never released. The game world is loosely based on {{s|Wikipedia|Greek mythology}}, with Icarus and Medusa being drawn from myth.

''Kid Icarus'' has been re-released twice: on August 10, 2004, for the Game Boy Advance as part of the Famicom Mini Series in Japan only, and on February 12, 2007, on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in North America. It was released on the European and Australian Virtual Consoles on February 23, 2007.

|align=left|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, [[icaruspedia:Medusa, Queen of the Underworld|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?

|desc-ntsc=Pit's side special Upperdash Arm delivers an uppercut so strong, it can send foes flying for a KO. If you miss and fall off the stage, Pit's up special can bring him soaring back. Another of Pit's specials is Palutena Bow, which fires arrows Pit can aim even after they've left the bow.

|desc-ntsc=In Kid Icarus: Uprising, the goddess of light uses telepathy to communicate and grants miracles to support Pit on his adventure. In Smash Bros., she has special moves like Warp and Heavenly Light at her disposal. She's very adaptable—you can customize her into a long- or close-range fighter!

|desc-pal=Said to be able to perform miracles, this goddess supports Pit in battle, using telepathy to communicate with him. She's no slouch on her own, either. She has a huge variety of moves you can customise and use to your advantage. Short or long range, the sky's the limit! Or maybe not. After all, she can teleport.

|desc-pal=Palutena's Reflect Barrier special deflects any attacks and projectiles that come at her from the front. Unlike other fighters' reflective moves, you can deploy this barrier and then leave it to its own devices. You can also push opponents with it, so use it on someone who's teetering on the edge of the stage to push them off.

|desc-ntsc=The powerful treasures used to defeat Medusa, the Three Sacred Treasures include the Arrow of Light, Wings of Pegasus, and [[Mirror Shield]]. That reminds me of a bit of trivia: there are in real life Three Sacred Treasures in Japan, but they are a sword, a mirror, and a jewel.

|desc-pal=These treasures, once used to defeat Medusa, are the Arrow of Light, the Wings of Pegasus and the Mirror Shield. And now for some trivia: the Imperial Regalia of Japan are also known as the Three Sacred Treasures, but those three are a sword, a mirror and a jewel.

|desc-ntsc=These one-eyed monsters are members of the Underworld Army from the Kid Icarus series. In Smash Run, these scouts will usually attack alone and chase fighters. If their eye starts to glow red, they're preparing to fire a projectile. They're really weak, though, so you should have no trouble.

|desc-pal=These one-eyed creatures from the Kid Icarus series are the Underworld Army's surveillance drones. In Smash Run, they tend to waver about as they chase after you. When their eyes glow red, it means they're about to fire energy blasts at you, so watch out! Other than that, though, they're not particularly tough.

|desc-ntsc=These flowery foes from the Kid Icarus series may look adorable, but they'll reveal their repulsive faces and scatter mines everywhere if given the chance. The mines have an impressive blast radius and knock-back. Best to blow them up from a distance. Daphnes themselves have very little health.

|desc-ntsc=The Zuree usually live in the Underworld, but in Kid Icarus, Medusa set them to work guarding the Palace in the Sky. In Smash Bros., they appear as a silvery mist, waiting until they've floated close enough to a fighter before showing themselves and attacking with their sharp claws. That's your cue to fight back!

|desc-pal=The Zuree usually live in the Underworld, but in Kid Icarus, Medusa set them to work guarding the Palace in the Sky. In this game, they appear as a silvery mist, waiting until they've floated close enough to a fighter before showing their true form and attacking with their sharp claws. And that's your cue to fight back!

|image=MedusaTrophy3DS.png

|desc-pal=Medusa is the goddess of darkness and leader of the Underworld Army. She was defeated by Pit in the past, but the fires of her hatred never faded. With Hades' help, she came back to life and got straight back on the warpath. Even the poisonous snakes on her head writhe with loathing for Palutena.

|desc-ntsc=Twinbellows is a flame-engulfed, demonic, doglike beast unleashed by Medusa during her attack on a human city. Its roar heralds a crimson fire that consumes everything in its path. If you hear both heads roaring, prepare yourself—this beast is definitely drawing near.

|image=HewdrawTrophy3DS.png

|desc-ntsc=A dragon with three regenerating heads. Each head has its own unique personality, and they are not known for getting along. One head would want to destroy a wall, the second would go around it, and the third would fly over it. All three are plenty happy to devour a meddling angel, though.

|desc-pal=This dragon's three heads don't even need to be attached to the body to wreak havoc, which is a good thing because they don't really get along with each other anyway! Their constant bickering makes them a funny bunch to be around...until they take a break to deal with Pit, that is!

|desc-ntsc=Don't be fooled by Thanatos's childish attitude—he's more dangerous than most clowns. And don't expect smiles from the god of death. He serves as Medusa's second in command and, thanks to his shape-shifting talents, can entertain his master with a decent clown act too.

|desc-pal=These slurpy little creatures are part of the Underworld Army's front-line troops. From the look of them, though, they'd probably make better food tasters. (Is that insensitive...?) Either way, they really do eat a lot, so don't agree to go for dinner with them unless they offer to pay!

|desc-ntsc=Let's get one thing straight here—those are tentacles, not hair, hanging under that oversized nose. Specknoses may look goofy, but you should be wary of the dangerous projectiles they can shoot from their nostrils. Ew! I hope those are just regular bombs...

|image=CenturionTrophy3DS.png

|desc-ntsc=The standard soldiers of Palutena's Army, Centurions make up in loyalty and number for what they lack in power. They have time and again fallen victim to a curse that turns them to stone, but the head of Palutena's guard, Pit, saves them with the use of a stone-breaking mallet.

|desc-pal=These little guys are Palutena's soldiers. What they lack in strength, they more than make up for with dedication. A long time ago, they were turned into stone and scattered across the world. Luckily, Pit managed to free them with his Mallet, making them even more loyal to our hero!

|image=PitEggplantTrophy3DS.png

|desc-pal=Maybe you think there's something worse than being turned into an eggplant, but we're going to squash that misconception right now. Lettuce tell you, being hit by an eggplant bomb is awful. Not only does it leave you without mushroom to manoeuvre, but it makes you a giant laughing stalk as well. (We're not sorry.)
