'''Lightning Chariot''' ({{ja|光の戦車|Hikari no Sensha}}, ''Chariot of Light'') is [[Pit]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', replacing [[Three Sacred Treasures]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

Pit calls out "Lightning Chariot!" ({{ja|光の戦車！|Hikari no Sensha!}}, ''Chariot of Light!'') and jumps aboard the {{s|icaruspedia|Lightning Chariot}} and flies off-screen. A player-controlled crosshair appears, with Pit saying, "Phos! Lux! Let's go!" ({{ja|行くぞ！フラッシュ！シルバー！|Iku zo! Furasshu! Shirubā!}}, ''Let's go! Flash! Silver!''); Pit will then swoop in atop the chariot to strike opponents when prompted, similar to the function of the [[Dragoon]] item.

In between Chapters 17 and 18 of ''Kid Icarus Uprising'', [[Palutena]] is possessed by the {{iw|icaruspedia|Chaos Kin}}, and Pit's soul is transferred to a [[icaruspedia:Ring of Chaos|ring]]. With the help of a little girl, a dog, and [[Magnus]], the ring is connected to Pit's [[icaruspedia:Pit's Body|soulless body]] in Chapter 18, and he is returned to normal, and goes off to fight Palutena-—when he wonders how he is flying, it is revealed that [[Viridi]] is giving him the [[Power of Flight]]. She shows him the destruction of Skyworld, and Pit learns that Palutena's [[Palutena's Temple|temple]] is blocked off by a special barrier. With no other option, Viridi pulls Pit back into her own residence and declares that, in order to break into Palutena's temple, Pit must acquire the Lightning Chariot.

In Chapter 19, Pit sets off to the {{iw|icaruspedia|Lightning Chariot Base}}, and climbs up the seemingly endless tower and fights through fifteen rooms of enemies in order to get to the boss chamber. At the boss chamber, he learns that he must fight the {{iw|icaruspedia|Chariot Master}} in order to prove himself worthy of obtaining the Lightning Chariot. After a race with the Chariot Master, he dies in front of Pit, but gives him the Lightning Chariot before he passes.

In Chapter 20, Pit, now equipped with the Lightning Chariot, uses it to break through the barrier surrounding Palutena's temple and fights Palutena to free her of Chaos Kin's control. He is successful, but the Chaos Kin nearly escapes to its [[icaruspedia:Chaos Vortex|home dimension]] through an escape portal; [[Dark Pit]] shows up in the Lightning Chariot and rams into the portal to keep it open. Pit questions his motives, but Dark Pit silences him and Viridi takes him away to prepare him for his next battle.

*[[Dark Pit]]'s inclusion as a separate character as opposed to an alternate costume in ''SSB4'' was originally due to the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] belonging to Pit and Sakurai deeming it unfitting for the weapons to be used by him. The Lightning Chariot that replaces Pit's old Final Smash, however, has been used by both Dark Pit and Pit, thus defeating the original purpose of separating the two characters.

*In [[Palutena's Guidance]] for Dark Pit, [[Viridi]] mentions the Lightning Chariot being under her command, despite Pit's use of it in ''Ultimate''. The conversation itself, however, is recycled from {{forwiiu}}.
