Item Description

Kid Icarus starts at the very bottom of the Underworld and makes you climb out. Pit, a young angel who can't yet fly, hops upward from ledge to narrow ledge as the screen scrolls with him, and anything that slips below the bottom edge is gone for good. It's a brutal first impression and an unforgettable one, and it sets the tone for one of the toughest, strangest adventures Nintendo put on the early NES.

The story pulls straight from Greek myth. Medusa has seized Angel Land, imprisoned the goddess Palutena and stolen the three Sacred Treasures, and Pit fights his way back armed with a bow. The journey climbs through the vertical Underworld, crosses the side-scrolling Overworld and rises into the Sky World, each capped by a maze-like fortress and a guardian boss: the two-headed dog Twinbellows, the serpent Hewdraw and the elusive Pandora. Enemies drop hearts that work as currency in shops and the Black Market, mallets free petrified Centurions to fight beside you against fortress bosses, and the infamous Eggplant Wizard can turn Pit into a walking eggplant until he finds a nurse. Recover the Mirror Shield, the Light Arrows and the Wings of Pegasus, and the finale becomes a flight through the Palace in the Sky to face Medusa herself.

Kid Icarus came out of Nintendo R&D1 alongside Metroid, and the two share more than a development team: Hirokazu Tanaka composed the music for both, and both reward patience and persistence over reflexes alone. Pit's arrows grow stronger based on how well you score, sacred chambers test him and grant upgrades like Fire Arrows to those who prove worthy, and how you play shapes which ending you see. The original Japanese release came on the Famicom Disk System; the NES version traded disk saves for a password system.

For years Pit was a cult hero, kept alive by a 1991 Game Boy sequel, until Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Kid Icarus: Uprising on the 3DS brought him roaring back. The NES original is where his legend starts, with all of the 8-bit era's unforgiving difficulty and the odd, mythic charm that kept players talking about it for decades.
