In the original {{uv|Kid Icarus}} for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Centurions played a large role in boss fortresses. On those particular levels, Pit could find hammers and use them to break open statues scattered around the area, freeing the Centurion trapped inside. When Pit eventually reaches the boss chamber, any Centurions that he rescued will fly in and attack the enemy. However, this only effectively damaged Twinbellows; Hewdraw was too hard to hit and Pandora beat them with ease. The Centurions in ''Kid Icarus'' would perish after being hit a single time, though they could attack repeatedly in the original game. They did not return for the sequel; Centurion statues are present, but they only hold items now.
In the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Centurions in Palutena's army were turned to stone by Medusa's army. Centurions play a large role in boss fortresses. On those particular levels, [[Pit]] can find mallets and use them to break open statues scattered around the area, freeing the Centurion trapped inside. When Pit eventually reaches the boss chamber, any Centurions that he rescued will fly in and attack the enemy. However, this only effectively damages {{b|Twinbellows|disambiguation}}; {{b|Hewdraw|disambiguation}} is too hard to hit and Pandora will beat them with ease. The Centurions in ''Kid Icarus'' would perish after being hit a single time, though they could attack repeatedly in the original game. They did not return for the sequel, ''Of Myths and Monsters''; Centurion statues are present, but they only hold items now.
 
Centurions return in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. Centurion Assists can be found throughout the game, temporarily providing cover fire for Pit. During the Aurum invasion, a group of Centurions assist Pit in reaching the Aurum Brain, and Pit has to protect them from enemies while they escort him. Centurions also appear as enemies while Palutena is possessed by the Chaos Kin. This game also introduces multiple varieties of Centurions, including Centurion Knights and Centurion Strongarms.

===Trophies===
Centurions appear in {{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[Final Smash]] [[Palutena's Army]]. The Centurions fly onto screen one-by-one, ramming into other players at incredibly high speeds. When hit by a Centurion, the opponent takes a range of 15-25%. Each Centurion deals a single attack to a character, and then falls in battle. During the course of the attack, Centurions can be destroyed by enemy attacks; however, due to Centurions' high damage output and speed, it is far more preferable to dodge.

Because {{SSB4|Pit}} received a new Final Smash, Centurions do not return in any gameplay capacity for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. They only appear as a trophy in {{for3ds}}, with an updated model based upon their redesign in ''Uprising''.

Centurion appears as a [[Spirit]].
A Centurion appears as a [[Spirit]], using their artwork from ''Uprising''. This spirit can be acquired in [[the Light Realm]] or randomly via the [[Spirit Board]], using {{SSBU|Pit}} as its puppet fighter. The Centurion's core is required to [[summon]] the Pit (Original) spirit.

==Trivia==
*The Centurions in ''Brawl'' are largely faithful to their original artwork from ''Kid Icarus''. Therefore, unlike Pit and Palutena, their redesign in ''Uprising'' was not influenced by their appearance in ''Brawl''.
