''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' marked Palutena's 3D debut, appearing alongside Pit in several minor gameplay roles. Like Pit, she was redesigned to appear as if she had drastically changed during the gap between ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' and ''Brawl''. Her original design featured her with long, green hair, a blue robe-like dress, a matching blue tiara, and gold accents and accessories. The 3D redesign retained most of these basic aspects, but changed the color of her dress to white with red trim, altered her tiara to resemble a golden halo, and added a number of additional accessories. Her staff and mirror shield were further redesigned, while retaining the original gold-and-blue color scheme. This look would be kept and refined for her future appearances. | ''Super Smash Bros.

With Pit's positive reception in ''Brawl'' leading to the development of ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', the team at [[Project Sora]] were able to further develop Palutena as a character. Rather than being simply a damsel-in-distress, she is in constant communication with Pit via telepathy. It is shown that, as previous installments imply, Palutena is very wise and dignified when she wants to be; however, she is actually quite cheerful and playful most of the time, contrasting with her nature as a goddess. While she is the ruler of Angel Land, and ergo Pit's mentor and "boss" of sorts, she treats him more like a kid brother than an actual servant. She can even be mischievous, and she will often put Pit in very dangerous situations purely to amuse herself. | With Pit's positive reception in ''Brawl'' leading to the development of ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', the team at [[Sora Ltd.|Project Sora]] were able to further develop Palutena as a character.

During their psychic communication, she is prone to speaking casually to Pit's adversaries, and she is also known to use modern-day colloquialisms incorrectly due to her wide vocabulary (something that confuses others, particularly Pit himself). One trait she shares in common with Pit is her ravenous appetite, to the point that simply mentioning food will make her hungry; in one of the game's early chapters, she speculates on what Pit's wings would taste like if they were fried during a thunderstorm. On another note, she is often touchy about her age despite her youthful appearance, to the point that she becomes agitated when being called "ma'am"; [[Palutena's Guidance|hidden conversations in ''Super Smash Bros.'']] imply that she is older than she looks, and that her outward appearance may not be her true form. | During their psychic communication, she is prone to speaking casually to Pit's adversaries, and she is also known to use modern-day colloquialisms incorrectly due to her wide vocabulary (something that confuses others, particularly Pit himself).
