Nintendo's airborne hero with one of the medium's weirdest journeys from old cartridge relic to genuinely funny modern lead.
Pit only really clicked once Kid Icarus: Uprising let him talk. The result was a self-aware, lightly exasperated hero who could carry mythological nonsense without feeling stiff or over-serious.
Example
Smash kept Pit visible, but Uprising is the game that made him feel like a real character instead of archival Nintendo stock.
Why it matters
Pit matters because revivals work best when they modernize voice, not just visuals.
