-==History==
-Pit, a character in ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus]]'', was created and designed by Japanese video game designer Toru Osawa. After studying arts and animation at Kyoto Seika University, Osawa was given the chance to create his own game,{{efn|Known as ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' (1986).}} which he developed single-handedly. The game's concept was inspired by Hiroji Kiyotake's athletic spirit and combined the "running and shooting" style of Metroid with Greek myths. Osawa's dark humor was evident in the bizarre characters and Pit's death cry, "I'm finished!".<ref name="kidicarusorigin"/> Japanese video game designer, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], gave Pit a major redesign in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' (2008).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/|title=プロジェクトソラの桜井政博氏が，新しいパルテナを解説！ニンテンドー3DSタイトル「新・光神話 パルテナの鏡」プレゼンテーションレポート|trans-title=Masahiro Sakurai of Project Sora explains the new Palutena!

Sakurai redesigned the character while thinking of how he would look after his disappearance from the ''Kid Icarus'' series for a long time. According to Sakurai, the reception to the character was well received.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/masahiro-sakurai-reviving-gamings-past-concerns-its-future-flna656182|title=Masahiro Sakurai on reviving gaming's past, and concerns for its future|first=Matthew|last=Hawkins|work=[[NBCNews]]|publisher=[[NBCUniversal]]|date=April 4, 2012|access-date=May 18, 2024|archive-date=May 9, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240509051415/https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/masahiro-sakurai-reviving-gamings-past-concerns-its-future-flna656182|url-status=live}}</ref>
-===Origin===
-Among the first video games to draw inspiration from Greek mythology was ''Kid Icarus''. The game's English title refers to Pit, who draws inspiration from [[Icarus]]. His name, which derives from [[Cupid]], is another source of inspiration for him. Pit is called after Cupid, a Roman god who has a Greek counterpart named [[Eros]], therefore the name Cupid is still a nod to Greek mythology.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://goombastomp.com/nintendos-cult-classic-kid-icarus-turns-35/|title=Nintendo's Cult Classic Kid Icarus Turns 35|first=Caitlin|last=Williams|magazine=Goomba Stomp Magazine|date=December 17, 2021|access-date=May 18, 2024|archive-date=May 8, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240508211450/https://goombastomp.com/nintendos-cult-classic-kid-icarus-turns-35/|url-status=live}}</ref>
-==Appearances==
-===''Kid Icarus'' games===
-Pit made his first appearance in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' (1986). In the game, Pit plays a role in rescuing the Goddess of Light, Palutena, from the clutches of the wicked Medusa. Pit escapes his Underworld prison and descends the steep cliffs, fending off the armies of Medusa's troops, including snakes and the deadly God of Death. Along the way, Pit overcomes Zeus' challenges and gains stronger weapons to combat the Underworld's hordes. In conclusion, once Pit had completed the stage, he would explore a gigantic stronghold filled with traps and puzzles.<ref name="kidicarusorigin"/>
-Pit returns in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'' (1991). A fortune-teller interprets Palutena's nightmare as a sign that the demon [[Orcus|Orcos]] and his henchmen are about to invade. Pit, the commander of her army, is called by the goddess, who also orders him to report for special instruction that would enable him to use the three precious treasures of Angel Land. Palutena has these under the protection of three fortress guards to keep them secure from Orcos while Pit is on his mission. Pit receives the precious treasures from the goddess after he defeats the guards and completes his training.<ref>{{cite book|title=Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters Instruction Booklet|section=The Tale of Kid Icarus|publisher=[[Nintendo of America]]|date=November 1991}}</ref> After two decades of hiatus, Pit appears in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' (2012), where Pit is working with Palutena once again to defeat the returning Medusa and her unpleasant army.<ref name="kidicarusfacts"/>

-==Critical reception==
-Pit's determination received recognition from Marc Kaliroff of Goomba Stomp Magazine, despite the character being unable to fly. Pit's disability is one of his most important traits, according to Marc, who said of him: "Pit's disability is a shining factor of the character that is not only used to create five-minute cinematic rail-shooter scenarios each mission opens up to but it is also a legitimate reason to further define him as a hero. Despite his weakness, the hero is able to always overcome his problems and ultimately make the higher powers above him look weak. Pit is what every player dreams to be–the believer that can accomplish anything despite the presence of what is seemingly insurmountable odds".<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://goombastomp.com/kid-icarus-uprising-soars-high-above-nintendos-other-stories/|title=Kid Icarus: Uprising's Story Soars High Above Nintendo's Other Narratives|first=Marc|last=Kaliroff|magazine=Goomba Stomp Magazine|date=March 22, 2022|access-date=May 18, 2024|archive-date=May 9, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240509140342/https://goombastomp.com/kid-icarus-uprising-soars-high-above-nintendos-other-stories/|url-status=live}}</ref>
-canonball, an author of The Fwoosh, in review of Pit's ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' figma, expressed how the figma does not resemble Pit's original appearance from ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' and Pit looked more athletic instead. In accordance with canonball, they described the figma as better than the [[Link (The Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and [[Samus Aran|Samus]] ones; they were "super impressed" by the figure; and they commented: "If you're even the most casual fan of ''Kid Icarus'', then this Pit is an absolute must. It's a better figure than we could have ever hoped to get based on the character, and it holds its own in comparison to almost any other figure on the market today".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thefwoosh.com/2013/05/figma-pit-kid-icarus-uprising/|title=Figma – Pit (Kid Icarus: Uprising)|author=canonball|website=The Fwoosh|publisher=Fwoosh LLC|date=May 18, 2013|access-date=May 18, 2024|archive-date=May 14, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240514154103/https://thefwoosh.com/2013/05/figma-pit-kid-icarus-uprising/|url-status=live}}</ref>
