Palutena's Temple (エンジェランド, Angel Land) (known in Europe as Skyworld, not to be confused with the stage from Brawl) is a stage set to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U from the Kid Icarus series. On January 29th, 2014, a new stage was shown on Miiverse, depicting a stage from the original Kid Icarus with updated looks derived from Kid Icarus: Uprising.

The stage is very similar to New Pork City in design - it is primarily composed of a wide assortment of medium-sided platforms strewn around a very large playing field. A bridge connects the two upper areas and can be destroyed; the two upper areas have the largest platforms. In the top-left is a mini-stage that appears to be very close to the top blast line. In the bottom-left zone are a couple of springs inside a cave reminiscent of the bottom area of Temple. The bottom-right area is mostly blank space with several platforms, reminiscent of the Maze Sample Stage from Brawl.

Origin

Palutena's Temple, as seen in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Palutena's Temple is where the goddess Palutena lives. In the original Kid Icarus, (under the title Palace in the Sky) Medusa usurped control of the palace and captured Palutena, prompting Pit to rescue her.

In Kid Icarus: Uprising, however, this is also where she is fought as a boss. Here, she is possessed by the Chaos Kin, a chaotic entity that sought to create disaster by controlling the goddess and eventually eat her soul, which it almost succeeded in doing if it weren't for the efforts of Pit with the assistance of Viridi and Phosphora. The boss battle was notably unique, as Pit had to avoid harming Palutena throughout the fight all the while focusing all of his attention on the Chaos Kin. Pit also had to fight hordes of his own former allies, the Centurions, in order to reach Palutena. It is also the location of the Capricorn Club, the tenth Zodiac Weapon.
