'''Palutena's Guidance''' is | [[File:Pit Smash Taunt.png|thumb|350px|Palutena's Guidance during a match between Pit and Palutena.]] '''Palutena's Guidance''' is {{SSB4|Pit}}'s [[Smash Taunt]], performed on [[Palutena's Temple]]. When it is activated, a conversation is initiated about the opponent Pit is facing, in the same fashion as {{SSBB|Snake}}'s [[Codec Conversations]] in ''[[Brawl]]''. In these conversations, Pit and Palutena discuss one random fighter in the match. The Smash Taunt can be activated by selecting Pit, and any time during the match, should the player quickly tap the button which activates his [[Taunt|Down Taunt]]. As long as he isn't attacked during five seconds of his animation, a conversation will appear. This can only be done once every match. | ||
Pit's Smash Taunt references various conversations that he could have with Palutena throughout ''Kid Icarus Uprising''; in addition to reusing the same artwork for the conversation boxes, the conversations feature a light-hearted, comical tone from the game, complete with occasional points where the two break the fourth wall. | |||
In addition to Palutena and Pit, ''Kid Icarus'' character [[Viridi]] appears in several of the conversations, also utilizing her artwork from ''Kid Icarus Uprising''. In the conversation about him, Dark Pit also joins in. In the conversation regarding {{SSB4|Robin}}, [[Chrom]] joins in on the conversation, using his portrait from ''Fire Emblem Awakening''. In [[Richter]]’s conversation, [[Alucard]] makes a cameo. | |||
[[ | |||
As of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the easter egg returns, providing new conversations for the returning cut veterans, ''Smash 4's'' downloadable fighters and new characters introduced. The majority of conversations for returning characters are recycled with select ones such as Link and Robin getting new ones. | |||

Note: Although the exact same voice clip is used for Pit's line about feeling bad for the Koopalings in both versions, the text either says 'kind of' or 'kinda', depending on which version is played. | |||
Viridi's remarks about the mysterious relationship between Bowser and the Koopalings refers to Nintendo's changing stance on the characters. The Koopalings were initially referred to as Bowser's children in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', but this background was later discarded and the Koopalings are currently classified as captains of his army. | |||

This may also refer to the versions of Ganon from said diverging timelines, who have evolved differently based on the events occurring in their respective timelines. | ||

Note: Contrary to what Palutena says, Chrom actually can learn Aether in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', as part of his basic skill set as a {{s|fireemblemwiki|Great Lord}}; however, the animation in the class with his signature weapon Falchion doesn't include a vertical jump like Ike's, explaining the quote. Viridi's remarks about Chrom being similar to Ike also reference the reason for Chrom's exclusion from the game; 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. Palutena's quip of Chrom taking a nap before his appearance in this conversation is a reference to one of his {{s|fireemblemwiki|Barracks}} quotes on what he does during his free time. | |||

== | ===Downloadable fighters=== | ||
Characters available as [[downloadable content]] use a generic Guidance conversation, presumably to avoid having to repeatedly bring in the characters' voice actors for new lines each time a new character is added. The generic conversation was discovered at launch in [http://vocaroo.com/i/s0KivwmAoIq3 the game's] [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25168286 sound files]. The conversation consists of Pit, Palutena, and Viridi briefly discussing an unknown fighter. Unused and inaccessible through normal play at first, it was confirmed to be a placeholder conversation for additional fighters on April 15th, 2015, with the release of the first DLC character, [[Mewtwo]], though [[Bayonetta]]'s reveal trailer had Palutena give Pit information on her. | |||

:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': A race of crocodile people. | ||
:'''Viridi | :'''Viridi''': I hear they like bananas. Blech... | ||

:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': I can't put my finger on it, but Link seems...different somehow. | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Well, this Link is technically a different person from the Link you fought before. This incarnation is known as the Hero of the Wild. He was once Hyrule's Champion, but he fell into a 100-year slumber after using all his strength to fight the Calamity. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': 100 years might not be a long time to a goddess like you, Lady Palutena, but that's more than enough time for an entire world to change! | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': You're right, Pit. When Link woke from the slumber of restoration, not only was his world unrecognizable, he also lost his memory! | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': I can't even imagine what that would be like. Lady Palutena, isn't there something the gods can do to help him restore his memory? | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Meddling in the affairs of another world is never a good idea. Although I do like Link, and his swordsmanship is quite impressive. The Master Sword, also known as the sword that seals the darkness, reveals its true strength in the presence of the Calamity. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': Cool! Does that mean it's OP against Ganondorf? | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': No, Ganondorf is from a different game. You should really do more research before you jump into a fight. If you expect to win, you need to know your opponent's backstory and abilities. Link has a lot of different weapons at his disposal. | ||

:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Ahh, Alucard. Hello! Pit, meet Alucard. He's the son of Count Dracula. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': Dracula's your dad?! That's so cool! Hey, do you have fangs? Are they sharp? | ||
:'''Viridi | :'''Viridi''': Pit! That's pretty personal. And do you really want to bring up blood-sucking fangs? | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': What are you... Oh no! You're not here to suck my blood, are you? I need it! | ||
:'''Alucard | :'''Alucard''': No, I don't like the taste. And my mother taught me not to cause suffering. My father chose another path, and so I've sworn to stop him. Richter here is the descendant of a man who shared my burden. He has a strong sense of justice and is an honest man. But that in turn makes him easy to manipulate. He was once cursed by the dark priest Shaft who used him as a puppet to control Dracula's Castle. | ||

:'''Viridi | :'''Viridi''': Kirby's a space alien too, ya know! Jury's still out on him being a dragon, though. | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Ridley may look like a mindless killing machine, but he's exceedingly intelligent. He's also the leader of the ruthless Space Pirates. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': So what's the story behind him and Samus? | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Ridley killed Samus's parents when she was young. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': That's messed up! | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Samus and Ridley first fought in the depths of Norfair on Planet Zebes. They crossed paths again when Ridley stole the Baby Metroid. Meta Ridley was made through genetic engineering and cybernetic enhancements. Omega Ridley is the one infused with Phazon... Neo-Ridley was born when an X parasite absorbed Ridley's genes. And yet another Ridley was created by cloning cells found on Samus's suit! | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': You sure know a lot about Ridley. And none of it is about how to fight him! | ||
:'''Viridi | :'''Viridi''': There's also a robot version of Ridley. He built it himself which officially makes him a narcissist. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': Is that canon? | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Canon or not, all of these Ridleys shared the same fate- they were all defeated by Samus. | ||
:'''Pit | :'''Pit''': Not surprising. Samus is a beast! | ||
:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': So is Ridley. Mind the sharp barb on his tail. | ||
Note: | Note: Pit saying "Is that canon?" may be referring to the robot Ridley that only appeared in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', which was a remake of the original ''Metroid''; alternatively, he may be questioning Viridi's claim that Ridley is "officially [...] a narcissist".

:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': The legacy of the vampire-hunting Belmont clan is very interesting. | ||

:'''Palutena | :'''Palutena''': Other clans appeared and parallel worlds were created. The fate of the Belmont clan has been split in many ways. The most iconic symbol of House Belmont is their legendary whip, the Vampire Killer. | ||
