Dark Pit
- “Can't help but feel sorry for ya.”
- —Dark Pit, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Dark Pit (sometimes called Pittoo by some characters) is a clone of Pit created after the destruction of the Mirror of Truth, in the events of Kid Icarus: Uprising. He serves as the game's anti-hero, being somewhat of a rival to Pit, and his personality is more serious and aggressive. His appearance is identical to Pit's, except with the dark coloring to his clothing, wings and hair. His character was most likely based off the "fallen angel" coloration of Pit in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as both Kid Icarus: Uprising and Super Smash Bros. Brawl were made by Sora Ltd.
Dark Pit makes an appearance as an unlockable fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. His inclusion in the game was first hinted in the animated segment of Palutena's reveal trailer, where he flies onto the stage for a brief few seconds. Dark Pit's moves are similar to Pit's, though with a few differences. His neutral special is the Silver Bow, which lets him fire a controllable arrow like Pit's Palutena's Arrow, and his side special is the Electroshock Arm, which lets him charge forward and uppercut opponents with an electric attack. His up and down special moves, Power of Flight and Guardian Orbitars respectively, are identical to Pit's moves; the former gives Dark Pit a quick burst of flight, while the latter lets Dark Pit defend himself with a pair of shields. His Final Smash is the Dark Pit Staff, in which he fires the staff to deal high damage and knockback to opponents.
He also makes an appearance in Super Mario Maker, by tapping a Dark Pit amiibo to the Wii U gamepad in the game, the player will unlock a Mystery Mushroom that gives Mario a costume based on Dark Pit, as well as replace some sound effects with sound effects from the Kid Icarus franchise.

N/A | Dark Pit's Guardian Orbitars special puts up shields of light on either side of you to block attacks, deflect projectiles, and push back any enemies who are too close. You can even use the shields to protect against attacks from above and below. If they take too many hits, though, they'll vanish and become unusable for a while. |

Palutena's Guidance
- Pit: Hey! It's Pittoo!
- Dark Pit: Will you quit calling me that?!
- Palutena: Now where did you disappear to after the fight with Hades?
- Viridi: Actually, Dark Pit works for me now. He's an officer in the Forces of Nature.
- Palutena: What?!
- Pit: No way!
- Viridi: Just because we fought together once doesn't mean we're all buddy-buddy now. In fact, the Lightning Chariot and Phosphora are also both under my command. The battle isn't over yet!
- Dark Pit: Viridi's interests and mine just happen to overlap, so for this fight, I'll be happy to launch you into the stratosphere!
- Palutena: Your powers are perfectly matched here.
- Viridi: It all comes down to skill!
