History YMMV / KidIcarusUprising

* MisBlamed: People have accused ''Uprising'' of straying from Medusa's original design when it actually [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1I7KiCuAU4k/ST3zuz--lEI/AAAAAAAADwM/Rt_kGKJkWSw/s400/medusa_kid_icarus_sprite2.jpg accurately portrays Medusa's true form]] seen upon her death. And her classic final boss form appears in the game, anyway.

* CargoShip: Pit/Hot Springs, Pit/Cherubot, etc.
-->'''Pit''': Cherubot, you're my new best friend! Don't tell Lady Palutena....

* AngelDevilShipping: [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Pit]] is no stranger to this trope, usually helped by the fact that most of his enemies tend to [[EnemyMine assist him at some point or another]]. Examples include Dark Pit, Medusa, Viridi and Phosphora (the latter two especially, as Viridi is often seen hanging out with the heroes in spite of her misanthropic tendencies).

* CantUnHearIt: Creator/AliHillis as Palutena. This is the only installment where Palutena is voiced by Hillis, but nonetheless while Palutena is voiced by Brandy Kopp in ''Smash Bros.'' most fans will always think of Ali Hillis as Palutena's default voice.

** Hades tries this on Pit in Chapter 23. When Pit calls him out on eating souls and removing them from existence, saying they can't move on or be reincarnated, Hades makes a pretty convincing argument on why reincarnation is no different than being removed from existence. Pit's reply is [[LameComeback "I... uh... Eating souls isn't right!"]]

** Pit likes to act cocky and tough (and beneath it all, ''[[BunnyEarsLawyer he really is tough]]''), but his love for ''Nintendo'' video games, fanatical loyalty to Palutena, his [[NeverLearnedToRead lack of literacy]] that even he lampshades, and [[GoodIsDumb general goofiness]] make him endearingly dorky throughout the entire history.

** Dark Pit is no different from his light counterpart. Try as he might, even he can't be taken seriously throughout the story, and demonstrates to like ''Nintendo'' games, given he casually mentions ''VideoGame/BrainAge'' during a conversation.
** Viridi. Given she looks and sometimes acts like a child [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld despite not being one]], [[LittleMissSnarker oozes sass in her interactions]] with the heroes and does show a liking to ''Nintendo'' games ([[RunningGag see a recurring pattern?]]), this shouldn't surprise anyone.

** Simply put, the controls in ''Uprising'' aren't designed for lefties in mind. There is an option to use the Circle Pad Pro on a "classic" 3DS, which costs about 20 USD, or the C-Stick on a New 3DS, which is smaller than the basic Circle Pad, feels more like the mouse nub on some notebook computers, and is overall less comfortable and precise. Using the buttons does work fairly well, but it's clunkier and it doesn't help that one of the first things the game tells you to do is move in a circle. Also you can't use the stand with a 3DS attached to a Circle Pad Pro, as the CPP adds extra thickness to the bottom half of the 3DS and is too curvy to lay steadily on the stand anyway.

** Dark Pit was popular before his character was even made canon, but he was hit with this soon after Uprising. Some fans love him for being one of the [[OnlySaneMan most sane]] characters in the game (courtesy of being the antithesis to Pit), [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu calling out the entire godhood for their deeds]], and for being DarkerAndEdgier than both of the game's main characters, yet [[DefrostingIceKing slowly opening up to his original counterpart]] to the point he saves him from death. However, he does have his detractors that dislike him exactly for the same reason of being dark and edgy, claiming to be heavily uninspired as a result of it and resembling a typical "edgy OC".

** Trading weapon gems with a certain number of people. For some, it's really unlikely you'll be around another person with the game unless you participate in a convention where the chances of someone having Uprising in their 3DS is rather high for gem trading. This is why some gems are distributed by Palutena to make sure you can complete the achievement.

%%* BreatherLevel: Chapter 20 is significantly easier than both 19 and 21.

%%* CrossesTheLineTwice: Hades frequently does this with his comments.

* MemeticMolester:It's not hard to think of the Chaos Kin as one given the way it latches onto Palutena during battle and the way that it grabbed Dark Pit by the leg to throw him off the ledge and wrapping itself around him. According to the Petrified Palutena idol description, the Chaos Kin tried to drag her into the Chaos Vortex with it, but she turned herself to stone at the last minute so that it could only escape with her soul.
