{{quote2|Oh, I'm not here to save you, Pit. I'm here for a little, uh, "divine intervention".|Palutena|"Goddess of Light" trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U}}
'''Palutena''' is the goddess of light and female lead of the [[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 ''[[mh:nintendo: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''====

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Palutena is featured in [[
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'']]
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 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
All of Palutena's custom moves are based on the [[
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.
Line 46 ⟶ 44:
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
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 [[
=====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=====
{{main|Autoreticle}}
[[File:Palutena Autoreticle Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Autoreticle in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''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'']]
'''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'']]
'''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.

Line 146 ⟶ 135:
=====Reflect Barrier=====
[[File:SSBU Reflect Barrier.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Reflect Barrier in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
'''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.
Line 157 ⟶ 145:
=====Angelic Missile=====
[[File:Palutena Angelic Missile Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Angelic Missile in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''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'']]
'''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'']]
'''Warp''' is Palutena's default up special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. Similar to [[Mewtwo]]'s [[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'']]
'''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'']]
'''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'']]
'''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.
Line 195 ⟶ 177:
=====Lightweight=====
[[File:Palutena Lightweight Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Lightweight in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
'''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'']]
'''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 [[mh:nintendo:Kid Icarus: Uprising|original game]]) sending opponents into the air and the explosion dealing multiple hits.

==Trivia==
*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, [[
*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).
