Pit reappeared again in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters}}'' for the Game Boy, which served as the only sequel in his series for nearly twenty years. In this game, Pit was sent to train and gather the Three Sacred Treasures again so that he could defeat a demonic monster called {{s|icaruspedia|Orcos}}. This game went largely unnoticed, partially due to the fact that it was not released in Japan until 2012 via the [[Virtual Console]]. However, aspects of Pit's design that were introduced in this game, such as his redesigned blue eyes, brown hair, and laurel crown, as well as the design of the series' logo, made reappearances years later in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Due to all of this, ''Of Myths and Monsters'' is considered canon. | Pit reappeared again in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters}}'' for the Game Boy, which served as the only sequel in his series for nearly twenty years.

Following a surge of fan interest in the series due to Pit's appearance as a playable character in ''Brawl'', Pit appeared again in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', a sequel for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] which was released on March 23, 2012 and was also directed by Sakurai.

Pit debuts as a new playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He has been heavily redesigned from his original appearance and ''Melee'' Trophy, taking on more realistic proportions, having an anime-like look to him, and looking much more elegant overall. The Three Sacred Treasures from ''Kid Icarus'' serve as his [[neutral special move]], [[up special move]], and [[down special move]] respectively, albeit with changes from the original game. He is also seen splitting [[Palutena's Bow]] into two sharp blades for his standard attacks, something that was not done in any previous game in the series. His [[Final Smash]] is [[Palutena's Army]], where he calls on Palutena to send her army of angel [[ | Pit debuts as a new playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

Pit returns | Pit returns as a playable character. His design is that from ''{{iw|Icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', itself a slight refinement of his ''Brawl'' redesign. Pit's special moveset has been heavily revamped, as he only retains Palutena's Arrow from Brawl as his neutral special; however, it is now known as the [[Palutena Bow]]. His side special now has him lunge forward with the [[Upperdash Arm]], allowing Pit to deal damage and even reflect some projectiles. His new up special is the [[Power of Flight]], which is an angleable recovery that travels a good distance, but has no hitbox. Mirror Shield has been replaced with the [[Guardian Orbitars]], which serve as both a reflector and a second shield of sorts. Due to Palutena being made playable in ''Smash 4'', Pit's Final Smash was also changed and involves him wielding the Three Sacred Treasures all at once. Both the Upperdash Arm and Guardian Orbitars are weapons from ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. | ||
Pit is tied with his [[clone]], {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} for 32nd/33rd place out of 55 on the [[tier list]] for ''Smash 4'', placing within the D tier. His recovery, while still long-distanced, was made weaker due to the loss of [[gliding]], as well as his jumps gaining less height. He was also [[nerf]]ed in regards to damage, start-up and ending [[lag]]. However, some of his attacks were given more knockback, granting Pit improved KO power compared to ''Brawl''. While seen as a respectable choice for tournament play, Pit currently has a relatively small player base. | Pit is tied with his [[clone]], {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} for 32nd/33rd place out of 55 on the [[tier list]] for ''Smash 4'', placing within the D tier.

::{{Flag|North America}} ''Pit is the captain of Palutena's royal guard. Despite the wings on his back, Pit needs the Power of Flight from Palutena in order to truly fly. In Smash Bros., he can still get more air than most, with four jumps and a special move that boosts him higher. He has a new reflect move—it protects both sides!'' | |||
::{{Flag|Europe}} ''Despite being an angel with wings and all that jazz, Pit can't fly without a little bit of help from his favourite goddess, Palutena. In this game, he's good at both close and ranged combat, and can even deflect projectiles. On top of that, with a high-flying up special and the ability to jump four times in mid-air. he's also got great recovery skills.'' | |||
:'''Pit (Alt.)''' | |||
::{{Flag|North America}} ''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.'' | |||
| | ::{{Flag|Europe}} ''Pit's Upperdash Arm special launches him forwards to strike with an uppercut. It's so powerful, it can deliver an instant KO! If you accidentally dash off the stage with it, one of his up special will get you back on easily. His Palutena Bow special can be charged up, shot straight up into the air, and you can even guide the arrows mid-flight!'' | ||

Pit returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Unlike in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', he is an unlockable character rather than a starter character. He largely keeps his moveset from ''Smash 4'', but his Final Smash has been changed to the [[Lightning Chariot]], where he rides the Lightning Chariot and fires onto opponents on the stage, similar to the [[Dragoon]] item. | Pit returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros.
