'''Palutena''' is the goddess of light and female lead of the [[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (series)|''Kid Icarus'' series]]. She serves as the damsel in distress in the original games, but takes on a more proactive role in [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', providing protagonist [[Pit (character)|Pit]] with guidance and powers from afar. In contrast to her serene, elegant appearance, Palutena has a playful "trickster" personality that she uses to tease Pit and other characters on occasion.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:Palutena Brawl screenshot.png|thumb|left|200px|Palutena in Pit's Final Smash from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Palutena is featured in [[Pit (character)|Pit]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Pit (character)#Palutena's Army|Palutena's Army]]. Pit calls her forth to assist him in battle, to which she then appears as a giant (not her actual size, but her chosen manifestation for this appearance). She will then summon an army of [[Centurion]]s to attack Pit's opponents, who attack by dive bombing at incredible speeds.
 
Palutena is also a supporting character in the Subspace Emissary. After witnessing the [[Subspace Bomb]]'s effects, Palutena sends Pit to the [[World of Trophies]] to help stop the [[Subspace Army]]. Before he departs, she gives Pit her bow.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
[[File:Palutena SSB4.png|thumb|left|Palutena's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Palutena (SSB4)}}
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Palutena appears as a playable fighter and newcomer. Unlike most other fighters, though like the [[Mii|Mii Fighter]]s, Palutena's custom special moves are not variations of the default moves but rather entirely different moves, and all of them are available from the start.
 
Unlike Pit and [[Dark Pit]], Palutena is voiced in this game by Brandy Kopp rather than {{wp|Ali Hillis}} as in ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', while her Japanese voice actress, {{wp|Aya Hisakawa}}, reprised her role from said game.
 
All of Palutena's custom moves are based on the [[icaruspedia:Powers|Powers]] that appear in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Her standard special moves are [[#Autoreticle|Autoreticle]], [[#Explosive Flame|Explosive Flame]], and [[#Heavenly Light|Heavenly Light]]. Her side specials are [[#Reflect Barrier|Reflect Barrier]], [[#Angelic Missile|Angelic Missile]], and [[#Super Speed|Super Speed]]. Palutena's down special moves are [[#Counter|Counter]], [[#Lightweight|Lightweight]], and [[#Celestial Firework|Celestial Firework]], and her up specials are [[#Warp|Warp]], [[#Jump Glide|Jump Glide]], and [[#Rocket Jump|Rocket Jump]]. Finally, her Final Smash is the [[#Black Hole Laser|Black Hole Laser]], a combination of the [[Icaruspedia:Black Hole|Black Hole]] and [[Icaruspedia:Mega Laser|Mega Laser]] powers.
 
A statue of Palutena also appears in [[Palutena's Temple|her temple]]. Pit can also contact her to talk about all of the fighters with [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|her guidance]] during the match at her temple in the Wii U version.
{{br|left}}
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Palutena (SSBU)}}
Palutena returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this time as an unlockable playable fighter. In this game, she has a set attack for each special move; her down special functions as both Counter and Reflect Barrier, possessing a similar property to [[King K. Rool]] and [[Joker]]'s similar moves, while Explosive Flame appears as her side special. Generally, Palutena has been improved since the previous installment, having more speed and power in her attacks, while her mobility is increased. Palutena's forward and down smash attacks are both nicknamed Goddess Wings, while her down aerial's nickname is Purging Kick.
 
Palutena also makes an appearance in the World of Light's opening cutscene, where she tries to reflect [[Galeem]]'s large laser attack while granting the [[Pit (character)#Power of Flight|Power of Flight]] to both Pit and Dark Pit, but fails and is eliminated, cutting off Pit and Dark Pit's flight and causing them to fall to Galeem's attack as well. The real Palutena does not appear until Galeem starts to confront [[Dharkon]] after the first defeat; she represents Galeem's side in the Final Battle area alongside [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]] and [[Master Hand]], and must be awoken to progress the story.
 
=====Classic Mode route=====
Palutena's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters associated with deities in some way. Its route title comes from a phrase Palutena says in her debut character trailer for the previous game (quoted above).

====Special moves====
=====Autoreticle=====
[[File:Palutena Autoreticle Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Autoreticle in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Autoreticle}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Autoreticle|Autoreticle]]''' is Palutena's default standard special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and her set standard special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. A reticle appears around an opponent within a certain range in front of Palutena, specified by a glowing effect when the attack is initiated, followed by Palutena firing three blasts from her staff at them. The reticle does not follow the target, staying at the same position that the enemy was at when the move was initiated.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', although [[Kirby]] can only copy this move via [[Kirby#Inhale|Inhale]] even if Palutena's standard move is customized to Explosive Flame or Heavenly Light, there is unused audio of Kirby using said moves, suggest that Kirby was originally able to copy customized moves.

=====Explosive Flame=====
[[File:Palutena Explosive Flame Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Explosive Flame in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Explosive Flame}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Explosive Flame|Explosive Flame]]''' is Palutena's second standard special move appearing in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', and her set side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Palutena creates an explosion a set distance in front of herself, dealing multiple hits to any opponents caught in it.

=====Heavenly Light=====
[[File:Palutena Heavenly Light Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Heavenly Light in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Heavenly Light}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Heavenly Light|Heavenly Light]]''' is Palutena's third standard special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. The move creates a field of light that surrounds an area around Palutena, having the largest range of any attack in the series to date. The light deals continuous damage, but the move does not make opponents flinch. The effect lasts longer if the player holds down the special attack button; it can last up to three seconds.
 
Heavenly Light also appears as both a power that can be equipped and given as a random event in the Smash Run mode in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', having largely the same effect as Palutena's move.

=====Reflect Barrier=====
[[File:SSBU Reflect Barrier.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Reflect Barrier in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Reflect Barrier}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Reflect Barrier|Reflect Barrier]]''' is Palutena's default side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', and part of her down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Palutena raises her shield, which causes a magic barrier to appear in front of her and move forward a short distance, pushing away any opponents on the opposite side and reflecting any projectiles that hit it. Palutena's raising her shield also damages nearby opponents. The barrier does not follow Palutena's vertical position, remaining at the same position where she was when it was used. Like all reflectors in this game, dealing enough damage to the barrier shatters it, though the move can be immediately reused.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Palutena executes Reflect Barrier when her down special move is used on a projectile, similar to [[King K. Rool]]'s [[Gut Check (move)|Gut Check]] and [[Joker]]'s Tetrakarn and Makarakarn.

=====Angelic Missile=====
[[File:Palutena Angelic Missile Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Angelic Missile in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Angelic Missile}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Angelic Missile|Angelic Missile]]''' is Palutena's second side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. Palutena launches herself across the screen headfirst, battering any opponents in her path, and it can also be used for horizontal recoveries. Unlike with [[Pikachu]]'s [[Pikachu#Skull Bash|Skull Bash]] and [[Luigi]]'s [[Green Missile]], however, this move cannot be charged, and as such, it can only travel a set distance if uninterrupted.
{{br}}
 
=====Super Speed=====
[[File:Palutena Super Speed Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Super Speed in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Super Speed}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Super Speed|Super Speed]]''' is Palutena's third side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. The move causes Palutena to dash across the stage in a sudden burst of speed, stopping when she reaches a ledge and battering any opponents in her way. The move can be canceled by making another input, though if Palutena jumps she retains the momentum gained. The move also has a cooldown time after ending or being canceled.
{{br}}
 
=====Warp=====
[[File:Palutena Warp Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Warp in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Warp}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Warp|Warp]]''' is Palutena's default up special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. Similar to [[Mewtwo]]'s [[Mewtwo#Teleport|Teleport]], Palutena vanishes and immediately reappears a set distance away, in the direction being held on the control stick. The move deals no damage to opponents.
{{br}}
 
=====Jump Glide=====
[[File:Palutena Jump Glide Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Jump Glide in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Jump Glide}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Jump Glide|Jump Glide]]''' is Palutena's second up special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. Palutena leaps into the air and glides down slowly over a period of time, during which the player can control her horizontal movement. Attacking or pressing down on the control stick automatically ends the move.
{{br}}
 
=====Rocket Jump=====
[[File:Palutena Rocket Jump Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Rocket Jump in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Rocket Jump}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Rocket Jump|Rocket Jump]]''' is Palutena's third up special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. When used, Palutena creates an explosion that launches herself into the air and damages nearby opponents. If used above an opponent, the explosion [[meteor smash]]es them.
{{br}}
 
=====Counter=====
[[File:Palutena Counter Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Palutena's Counter (after reacting to an attack) in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Counter (Palutena)}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Counter|Counter]]''' is Palutena's default down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', and part of her down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. It is based on the power seen in ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. Like other counter moves, Palutena braces herself for an attack, and when hit, strikes back with her staff, dealing 1.3 times the amount of damage of the attack (dealing a set 10% at minimum). Palutena's Counter deals less knockback than most other counter moves, however, but it can potentially make 1-hit KOs if Palutena blocks any attacks that deal 40% damage or more.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', similar to King K. Rool's Gut Check and Joker's Tetrakarn and Makarakarn, Palutena executes Counter when her down special move is used on a close-up attack.
{{br}}
 
=====Lightweight=====
[[File:Palutena Lightweight Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Lightweight in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Lightweight}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Lightweight|Lightweight]]''' is Palutena's second down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. Palutena glows for a brief moment, and has increased overall movement speed and jump height, but she takes more damage for the duration of the effect. In addition, once the boost period has ended, Palutena's speed and jump height are decreased from normal for a brief time, and after that there is a cooldown period before she can use the move again.
{{br}}
 
=====Celestial Firework=====
[[File:Palutena Celestial Firework Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Celestial Firework in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Celestial Firework}}
'''[[icaruspedia:Powers#Celestial Firework|Celestial Firework]]''' is Palutena's third down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. Palutena launches a firework into the air that explodes soon after, the firework (while harmless in the [[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|original game]]) sending opponents into the air and the explosion dealing multiple hits.
{{br}}
 
====Final Smash====
=====Black Hole Laser=====
[[File:Palutena Black Hole Laser Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Black Hole Laser in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
[[File:BlackHoleLaser SSBU.png|thumb|left|Black Hole Laser in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Black Hole Laser}}
{{quote2|Watch this... Black Hole! And Mega Laser!|Palutena|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U}}
'''Black Hole Laser''' is Palutena's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. When used, Palutena jumps off the battlefield and generates a [[icaruspedia:Black Hole|Black Hole]] to draw in any nearby fighters and trap them, then fires a [[icaruspedia:Mega Laser|Mega Laser]] to deal repeated damage to those trapped and any other opponents in its path. The laser angles itself downward as it travels across the screen depending on the direction Palutena was facing when using the attack, though the angle has no effect on the damage output. Unlike most other trapping Final Smashes, the Black Hole does not need to trap an opponent for the Final Smash to continue. At the end of the attack, the Mega Laser launches the trapped opponents and Palutena returns to the battlefield. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', while the attack itself is slightly weakened, both Black Hole and Mega Laser's reaches have been widened.

===''Super Mario Maker''===
[[File:SMM Palutena.png|frame|left]]
Palutena appears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as a costume available for [[Costume Mario]]. Her sprite is based upon her appearance in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', rather than the one seen in the original ''Kid Icarus''. All of her sound effects, including the transformation, jumping, and fanfare, are taken from the Famicom Disk System version of the original ''Kid Icarus''. Pressing {{button|wiiu|Padup}} causes her to stand facing the player.

====Palutena's Guidance====
*'''Pit''': Wait a minute! Lady Palutena, you're fighting me?
*'''Palutena''': Don't sound so dismayed. Think of it more as a sporting event and less as...a massacre.
*'''Pit''': I really don't want to hurt you...
*'''Viridi''': That's awfully presumptuous of you, Pit!
*'''Pit''': Please! I know better than anyone else what Lady Palutena's capable of. After all, I fought her once before.
*'''Palutena''': Good luck, Pit. You're gonna need it. Of course, I won't be giving you any hints during this battle. And no powers or centurions, either!
 
===amiibo===
*''Palutena, the goddess of light and ruler of Skyworld, hails from the Kid Icarus series of games. She goes to great lengths to protect her people, and those who dwell on the surface lands below.

==Trivia==
{{NIWA|SmashWiki=1|Icaruspedia=1}}
*As with Pit, Palutena's current design is taken from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and was revamped in ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] developed by [[Sora Ltd.]], who also developed ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*Palutena's newcomer artwork is the only one not to feature any ''Mario'' characters; it only features herself, [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Dark Pit]], and [[Link]]. Consequently, her artwork is the one that features the second-fewest number of characters.
*Palutena is the only character in the Subspace Emissary who is neither playable nor an enemy/boss.
*Palutena makes a cameo in Cloud Strife's All-Star ending, where she is walking towards a blaze while Cloud glares at her. This was a reference to the Nibelheim Incident from ''Final Fantasy VII'' where the main antagonist Sephiroth proceeded to raze Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown, to the ground. Owing to the reference, Palutena's hair was colored gray in this instance rather than her trademark green.
*According to Masahiro Sakurai, Palutena, along with [[Bayonetta]], was considered to be the starter character for the World of Light; they were ultimately dropped for [[Kirby]] due to him being more beginner-friendly, and the fact that their presence would be implausible due to other similar entities from their home series not surviving Galeem's attack.<ref>SG (November 28, 2018).
