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.

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 [[icaruspediamh:nintendo: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.

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.

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).

'''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:Powers#Black Hole|Black Hole]] to draw in any nearby fighters and trap them, then fires a [[icaruspedia:Powers#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.

*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.
