!!Kid Icarus: Uprising - Thanatos Rising

** And two days later, Medusa (Rare) was [[https://www.reddit.com/r/KiDIcaruS/comments/a3qgsd/thanks_to_uanunknown_supplying_a_valid_colorbit/ revealed]]. It may not have been released officially, but it's impressive how avid fans managed to piece it together. And with that, ''every'' AR card has been accounted for after ''years''.

-> ''"I can't hear you over all this AWESOME!!"''
--> --'''Pyrrhon'''

--> '''Hades''': Welcome to ''my'' underworld, Pitty Pat! You too, Pretty Palutena.

** The entire fight between Phopshora and Pit. It's essentially an all-out showdown between Palutena and Viridi's top commanders. It's also one in-universe as Palutena, Viridi, and [[spoiler:Hades]] comment on it.
--> Viridi: Just look at them go~
--> Hades: And I thought the fighting outside was exciting! Turns out the ''real'' action is in here!

-->'''Pit''': Attention, pet of Viridi! You better sharpen your claws!

--> '''Hades:''' Don't curse the darkness. Light a candle! When freaky aliens give you lemons, make freaky alien lemonade. '''LIKE THIS!'''
--> '''Pit:''' ''WHOA!''
--> ''[Pit narrowly dodges the Aurum Ship as it crashes into the mothership shield]''
--> '''Pit:''' Well, I guess that's one way to do it.
--> '''Viridi''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis That. Was. Awesome.]]

--> ''[Pit narrowly dodges the Aurum Ship as it crashes into the mothership]''

** The beginning of the chapter, where Pit, the Underworld Army, the Forces of Nature, and Pyrrhon all teamed up to take down the Aurum brain. Pit notes that everyone is in good spirits, though Palutena believes they've all completely lost it.

** Hell, Pyrron hijacking the Aurum brain and turning it against all the other Gods was pretty friggin' awesome by itself. Especially when you consider what a(n apparent) blowhard he is.

** A villainous example at the end: It seems like Medusa's been defeated and nothing else stands in the way of peace for humanity. During the credits, as Pit and Palutena are celebrating, a voice telling them to [[WhamLine "wait just a second"]] is heard and the credits tear away to reveal the ''real'' BigBad of the game, Hades. "Welcome to ''my'' underworld, Pitty Pat! You too, Pretty Palutena."

** Hades of all people gets one in-universe when he throws an Aurum ship into their own mothership-

** The beginning of the chapter, where Pit, the Underworld Army, the Forces of Nature, and Pyrrhon all teamed up to take down the Aurum brain. Pit notes that everyone is in good spirits.

** Pit's response to facing someone so powerful that they lazily toss ''islands'' at him? "Send me in there".

** The ''[[RedShirtArmy Centurions]]'' of all people save you from falling to your death again by carrying another chunk of rock to serve as your platform while helping you fight off some of the Aurum. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic The music certainly helps.]]]]

** Dark Pit's introduction during the battle with Pandora, especially when he [[spoiler:knocks her down with a single punch]]!

** The [[spoiler:Space Pirates]]. They go around stealing ''[[ImpossibleThief constellations]]'' and then sell them on the black market or use them for fuel.
** They also put up an impressive fight against the Underworld forces. One scene in particular shows [[spoiler:a pair of Space Pirate Snipers fighting a [[DemonicSpiders Clubberskull]]! The Snipers win.]]

** Dark Pit [[spoiler:knocking out the Underworld Gatekeeper (a giant flying robot) with a side kick from above.]]

"Welcome to ''my'' underworld, Pitty Pat! You too, Pretty Palutena."]]

** [[spoiler:Viridi's]] EstablishingCharacterMoment needs to be mentioned to some degree. You're fighting off the Underworld Army after [[spoiler:Hades]] duped the entire human race into thinking the Wish Seed will grant them any wish they desire, causing armies to kill each other over the false promise. Just as you're witnessing all this unfold, suddenly [[spoiler:a Reset Bomb drops on the entire battlefield, wiping out a good deal of the humans present as well as possibly whatever Underworld troops were present, creating a beautifully deadly pink mass of twisted nature before finally revealing herself to Pit and the audience.]] Say what you will about [[spoiler:Viridi]], but [[spoiler:she]] sure knows how to enter the scene with a [[JustForPun bang]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Viridi]]:''' Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Nice shot, if I do say so myself! Good riddance, human scum! The world's better off without you!

** Throughout the air section, you are treated to an '''awesome''' backdrop of Thanatos and [[spoiler:Phosphora]] duking it out.

** The entire fight between [[spoiler:Phopshora]] and Pit. It's essentially an all-out showdown between Palutena and [[spoiler:Viridi's]] top commanders. It's also one in-universe as Palutena, [[spoiler:Viridi]], and [[spoiler:Hades]] comment on it.
--> [[spoiler:Viridi]]: Just look at them go~
--> [[spoiler:Hades]]: And I thought the fighting outside was exciting! Turns out the ''real'' action is in here!
** The BadassBoast Pit gives [[spoiler:Phopshora]] (right before [[spoiler:she]] interrupts it) is even more awesome if the player equips him with claws.
-->'''Pit''': Attention, pet of [[spoiler:Viridi]]! You better sharpen your claws!

** [[spoiler:Hades]] of all people gets one in-universe when he throws an Aurum ship into their own mothership-
--> [[spoiler: '''Hades:''']] Don't curse the darkness. Light a candle! When freaky aliens give you lemons, make freaky alien lemonade. '''LIKE THIS!'''

--> [[spoiler:'''Viridi''']]: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis That. Was. Awesome.]]

** The beginning of the chapter, where [[spoiler:Pit, the Underworld Army, the Forces of Nature, and Pyrrhon all teamed up to take down the Aurum brain. Pit notes that everyone is in good spirits.]]
** [[spoiler:When Pit's Power of Flight runs out, [[BigDamnHeroes Viridi comes to your rescue]] by having some of her troops carry a chunk of rock to serve as a platform, culminating in the troops performing a HeroicSacrifice to save Pit from Pyrrhon's massive column of fire.]]
** [[spoiler:The ''[[RedShirtArmy Centurions]]'' of all people save you from falling to your death again by carrying another chunk of rock to serve as your platform while helping you fight off some of the Aurum. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic The music certainly helps.]]]]
** Hell, [[spoiler:Pyrron hijacking the Aurum brain and turning it against all the other Gods was pretty friggin' awesome by itself. Especially when you consider what a(n apparent) blowhard he is.]]

** The entire level is a MeleeATrois between the Underworld forces, an army of [[spoiler:Centurions led by Pit's brainwashed body]], and [[BadassNormal Magnus]]. The fact that he even registers as a threat alone would be a Moment Of Awesome for the character, but winning makes it even better.

--> Pit: Go home, [[spoiler:Hades]]. Just go home.

** The latter half of the aerial section where Pit is chasing [[spoiler:the real Chaos Kin]]. The combination of all the stuff flying at you, the sense of urgency, and the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic make this part ''incredibly'' epic.
** The end where [[spoiler:Pit chooses to save Dark Pit at the cost of burning his own wings. Dark Pit's response is shown in the next chapter where he decides to dive into the Underworld to save Pit.]]
** [[spoiler:Dark Pit's entrance during the land battle sequence?]] You're making your way through wave after wave of enemies that seem to never end. You're probably getting tired of having to deal with all of them, and it gets to the point where the game has to cut to a loading screen to keep summoning enemies... [[spoiler:And then you get a quick scene of Dark Pit arriving on the scene. It suddenly cuts back to gameplay with a snippet of the Chapter 6 Air Battle theme playing as Dark Pit begins slaughtering enemies with you. Not to mention Pit and Dark Pit's pre-batle rallying cry.]] ''So awesome.''

** [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT4-Th6sX-k&context=C4f32f77ADvjVQa1PpcFPl3vnEuLdtL2LCC0QEuLlGChN8LxtuqY8= The entire Final Boss Battle]].]]
** The sequence where [[spoiler:Hades]] fires some dark arrows at Pit, right before [[spoiler:the Great Sacred Treasure transforms to the Mech Armor mode]] definitely counts as one for the animating team.
** [[spoiler:Medusa]] showing up near the end of the final battle and [[spoiler:punching Hades strongly enough to obliterate his head entirely. Shame it doesn't end well for her.]]
** [[spoiler:Pit's speech when the Final Strike is charging:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Pit''': [[TranquilFury I fight for all creatures living and breathing!]] I fight for all departed souls still hanging in limbo! [[UndyingLoyalty But most of all, I fight for Lady Palutena, the goddess of light!]] [[BewaretheNiceOnes And it's in all their names that I will crush you, lord of the Underworld!]] [[UnstoppableRage I won't let you desecrate another soul!]]]]

*** For that matter, beating all the levels on Intensity 9.0 for the challenge on [[spoiler:Hades']] Treasure Hunt board. So satisfying.

* In Thanatos Rising part 3, despite [[spoiler:Thanatos having the advantage over Pit and having a huge opportunity to kill him, he decides to toy with Pit and throw spike bombs while Pit hanging over the edge. Not only does Pit dodge everything thrown at him while still holding on to the ledge, but he uses his other hand to shoot the gear above him, effectively defeating Thanatos when it falls on him. And this is while Thanatos is taunting him.]]

** This troper had a Ninja Palm with an extra speed modifier equipped when they went and fought [[spoiler:[[ShockAndAwe Phosphora]]]]. What ensued was one of the most adrenaline-charged battles ever.
*** This Troper sees your Ninja Palm, and ups with a plus 3 speed boost Artillery Claws for the same fight. SO. MUCH. AWESOMENESS.
