However, there are many platforms, such as ice and clouds, that Pit will fall through should he crouch while standing on them. He can crouch to avoid enemies and even move while crouching at the same speed. Pit's arrows have only a short range and he has a jump height of about three times his height despite having wings, he cannot fly naturally.

Kid Icarus is a side-scrolling platformer, though the last stage undergoes a genre shift and becomes a side-scrolling shooter, with a small looping twist. Will Pit be able to restore Palutena's light and return it to Angel Land? Only you can answer that question. Yet to defeat Medusa he had to get the Three Sacred Treasures. Pit succeeded in his escape and set out on his long adventure to rescue Palutena. The guard at this time was low in number as Medusa's army had advanced to the Palace in the Sky. Armed with a bow and arrow brought to him through Palutena's magical strength, Pit attempted an escape from the Underworld. As a last resort, she sought the help of the angel youth Pit who was being held prisoner locked in a deep dungeon in the Underworld. Locked in the depths in the Palace in the Sky, Palutena's strength was drained to its last. The peaceful realm of Angel Land came to be inhabited by foul and terrible monsters and was turned into a land of darkness ruled by the wicked Medusa. Almost all of the warriors in Palutena's army were turned into stone statues and Palutena herself was imprisoned deep in the Palace in the Sky. What's more, Medusa's army took the Three Sacred Treasures - the Mirror Shield, the Arrow of Light, and the Wings of Pegasus - away from them. Palutena's army suffered major losses and was heavily defeated in the battle. Medusa led a surprise attack on Palutena's army which could barely fend off the attack. Soon a war between Palutena and Medusa began. So great was Medusa's anger that she joined forces with the monsters and evil spirits of the Underworld and Medusa'a soon began to surpass Palutena's army in strength. For being changed into this ugly monster and forced to live in the Underworld, Medusa promised to take over the Palace in the Sky where Palutena lived.

In her anger Palutena changed Medusa into an ugly monster and banished her to the deep, dark Underworld. She took great pleasure in drying up the crops that man took great pains to grow and in turning people into stone statues. However, Medusa the goddess of darkness was different. And bathed in this light man grew food and lived in peace. Palutena lived in the Palace in the Sky and administered light so that man could live in happiness. There once was a kingdom called " Angel Land." This kingdom was ruled by two beautiful goddesses, Palutena who administered light and Medusa who ruled darkness. Let us go back to the distant past to an age when the Gods and Man lived together in harmony. 3 Differences between the Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom Disk System versions.Kid Icarus was released for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007, and for the Nintendo Switch's NES Online Service in 2019.
