, earlier called Kid Icarus, is a fictional character and the protagonist of the ''Kid Icarus'' series, first appearing in ''Kid Icarus'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 and later appearing in ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' for the Game Boy in 1991. Pit is the protagonist of the 2012 video game ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', with director Masahiro Sakurai claiming that Pit would feel like a brand new character for ''Uprising'', with various new weapons and abilities. Pit has appeared in various media, as well as making various cameo appearances in many other Nintendo games. He appeared as one of the playable fighters in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and returned in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U''. He was also one of the recurring characters in the ''Captain N: The Game Master'' cartoon series, though in the latter he was known as Kid Icarus. Since his introduction, Pit's character has been generally well received by video game critics. ==Characteristics== Pit's character takes elements from three of Nintendo's biggest franchises; he can jump like Mario, uses ability-enhancing objects like Link, and shoot enemies like Samus. IGN's Lucas M. Thomas, in a feature about Pit, commented that Pit's inspiration in Greek mythology was more prominent than Sony's ''God of War'' series and that Pit could be viewed as a combination between Eros and Icarus. Thomas noted Pit's speech, saying it could become a distinguishing difference between him and other Nintendo characters such as Link. Thomas said that both his bow and his wings were his most iconic characteristics. The series contains several references to Icarus, Eros, and Eros' Roman equivalent Cupid, including currency depicted as "hearts", heart-motifs used in Pit's early character art, and his Japanese name, "Pitto" (ピット) as a reference to the Japanese katakana for Cupid (キューピット "Kyūpitto"). In addition to Eros and Icarus, Pit shares several characteristics with Perseus, the hero sent by Athena (who Palutena is thought to be based on) to slay Medusa. Pit and Palutena's designs were updated for the former's inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and were retained for ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Pit's weapon is the bow called that he found from the Underworld.〔 It fires "arrows of light".〔 Palutena gave Pit the bow so he could defeat , the .〔Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008).
