Template:Infobox Final Smash SSB4 The Three Sacred Treasures (三種の神器, Three Sacred Treasures) is Pit's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4. When equipped Pit fires off a series of enchanted arrows that cover the entirety of the arena. The first barrage summons arrows that fly off in random directions. The second fly off in a spreading arch in front of him, the third flying straight forward. In addition, Pit may fire three green energy blasts that home in on the opponent's current location during the last three barrages. The final barrage has him shooting arrows up into the sky, causing pillars of light to shine down from the heavens and damaging all those who get hit in the process. Pit automatically aims at enemies as he fires.
Trophy Description
The Arrow of Light, the Wings of Pegasus, and the Mirror Shield-three legendary artifacts that Pit once used to defeat the evil Medusa. When you activate Pit's Final Smash, he can use them in this game too! After firing a barrage of different bow attacks, his final shot will cause powerful light pillars to rain down on the battlefield.
Description from the 3DS version's foldout
"Unleash the power of the Three Sacred Treasures."
Origin
The Three Sacred Treasures are said to be the strongest weapons within Angel Land. When combined they are said to have the ability to destroy any foe the wearer faces. The Three Sacred Treasures, by name, are: the Arrow of Light, the Mirror Shield, and the Wings of Pegasus.
In Kid Icarus: Uprising, the Three Sacred Treasures are stolen by Space Pirates. Upon being reclaimed by Pit, he uses them to confront Medusa. In gameplay, the Arrows of Light are the only weapon capable of damaging and killing Ornes, the Mirror Shield passively blocks attacks from Pit's right side, and the Wings of Pegasus allow Pit to fly for longer than five minutes. Pit turns to the Treasures once more later on against Hades, but he destroys them. Once these chapters are completed, the player has the option of replaying them without the Treasures active.

Trivia
- Interestingly enough, in Smash 4, Pit wields the Three Sacred Treasures on the opposite arms from that of his Uprising appearance. In Kid Icarus: Uprising Pit wields the Mirror Shield in his right arm, and the Light Arrow Bow with his left hand. However, in Smash 4, the bow is in his right hand, and the shield is on his left arm.
- Though this could be due to the fact in the Smash series, Pit wields his bow in his right hand (left eye dominance), while using it with his left in Uprising (right eye dominance).
- Despite the nature of this Final Smash, the vast majority of the attack can be avoided simply by standing behind Pit.
- A trophy about the Three Sacred Treasures also exists in the 3DS version of the game, however, it makes no reference that it is Pit's Final Smash.
