Palutena's Temple

Palutena's Temple is a stage which appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on the location as it appears in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The stage is a larger stage in the same vein as Temple from Super Smash Bros. Melee and New Pork City in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The left side of the stage is set on and inside the temple itself, while the right side is set on a floating island nearby, with a temple and statue of Palutena in the background. There is a bridge connecting the two sides of the stage near the top that can be broken, though there are also moving platforms and clouds that can be used to reach either side. On the top left side of the stage is a smaller temple area that flies up offscreen and back down periodically, and on the left side is a large platform that raises and lowers, with a ladder next to it.

The Omega form of the stage is set on the large moving platform in front of the Palutena statue.

The unlock match for Dark Pit takes place here.

Palutena's Guidance
By quickly using Pit's down taunt on this stage, Pit enters a praying stance rather than his normal taunt. This triggers a Palutena's Guidance conversation between Pit, Viridi, Chrom (in case of Palutena's Guidance against Robin), and Palutena about one of the fighters onscreen. The concept is similar to Snake's codec conversations in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and is actually based upon the character conversations that periodically occur throughout gameplay in Kid Icarus: Uprising. If Pit is KOd at any point during the conversation, it automatically ends, and it does not trigger at all if Pit is attacked while he is in the stance to trigger the taunt. This taunt can only be used once per match, and is disabled in its Ω form (as well as its Battlefield form in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate). But, Palutena's Guidance conversation with the DLC fighters such as Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta will only get the same generic DLC only conversations and Palutena doesn't have data on them.

Palutena's Guidance returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where new conversations were made for characters who were absent from the base roster of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. While the first DLC character of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Piranha Plant, received its own Palutena's Guidance, none of the other Fighters Pass fighters have received their own conversations, instead having the generic conversations for Super Smash Bros for Wii U's DLC characters.
