Kid Icarus: Uprising

Kid Icarus: Uprising (New Myth of Light: The Mirror of Palutena in Japan) is the third game in the Kid Icarus series, released more than two decades after the last game for the Game Boy. Rather than a platformer, this game is an on-rails shooter with numerous weapons to buy, fuse, and sell (and no two weapons are exactly the same). This time, Pit and Palutena learn that Medusa has been revived, and Pit must face the Underworld Army to save the human world again...but the game won't be over as quickly as you'd think.

This game isn't without its humor, though – expect hilarious hijinks and countless instances of breaking the fourth wall.

Kid Icarus Float AR Idol


The Kid Icarus Float AR Idol is the final AR Idol, but is the only AR Idol that is specifically Japan-only. All other Idols have been or will eventually be released in other regions. This AR Idol is based on a float which appeared at a Summer festival in Japan to promote the game, and the card was specifically made for Japan.

However, due to all versions of the game being able to scan cards from any region, the card can be scanned in the US and European versions. While its AR Idol Battle stats are unchanged, the description was translated: English - Kid Icarus Float: On August 4th, 2011, this float made its debut during a summer festival in the Aomori Prefecture of Japan. Reaching a height of almost 40 feet and weighing five tons, this float awed spectators with its depiction of Pit and Palutena.

German - Kid Icarus Motivwagen: Am 4. August 2011 konnten die Besucher des Umzuges bei einem Sommerfestival in der japanischen Präfektur Aomori diesen 13 Meter hohen und fünf Tonnen schweren Wagen mit Figuren, die Pit und Palutena darstellen, bewundern.

Spanish - Carroza de Kid Icarus: El 4 de agosto de 2011, esta carroza hizo su primera aparición durante el festival de verano de la prefectura de Aomori, en Japón. Sus más de doce metros de altura y sus cinco toneladas de peso dejaron boquiabiertos a todos los espectadores.

The Sneeze
In the international versions, during the final battle of the game, Hades appears to sneeze in Pit's face. However, in the original Japanese version, it is the other way around, with Pit sneezing instead, complete with a special sneezing pose. Though the on-screen animations are the same, the dialogue and Touch Screen character poses were changed, leaving the special sneezing pose unused in international versions. There seems to be no real reason for the change, other than for humor.
