Palutena's Temple is a stage set to appear in the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. 4 from the Kid Icarus series. On January 29th, 2014, a new stage was shown on Miiverse, depicting a stage from the original Kid Icarus with updated looks derived from Kid Icarus: Uprising. Not much is known about the stage, aside from the fact that it holds a statue of Palutena within it.

This is the second stage announced for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. 4 that has elements from a handheld game, the first being the Pilotwings Resort-themed areas of Wuhu Island.

Origin

Palutena's Temple, as seen in Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Palutena's Temple is where the goddess Palutena lives. In the original Kid Icarus, Medusa usurped control of the palace and captured Palutena, prompting Pit to rescue her.

In Kid Icarus: Uprising, however, this is also where she is fought as a boss. Here, she is possessed by the Chaos Kin, a chaotic entity that sought to create disaster by controlling the goddess and eventually eat her soul, which it almost succeeded in doing if it weren't for the efforts of Pit with the assistance of Viridi and Phosphora. The boss battle was notably unique, as Pit had to avoid harming Palutena throughout the fight all the while focusing all of his attention on the Chaos Kin. Pit also had to fight hordes of his own former allies, the Centurions, in order to reach Palutena, and it is also the location of the Capricorn Club, the tenth Zodiac Weapon.
