Palutena's Shrine is a starter stage in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from the Kid Icarus series.
Layout[]
Palutena's Shrine primarily consists of a large main platform with a smaller hard platform directly beneath it and a small soft platform floating above it. There is a small hard platform floating to each side of the stage that slope upward toward the blast lines, with the rightmost platform being shorter and steeper.
Music[]
- The main music track is Magnus's Theme, an orchestral remix of the theme that plays when fighting with Magnus in Chapter 2 and Chapter 18 in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
- The alternate music track is Palace in the Sky, an orchestral triumphant remix of theme that plays on the level of the same name in Kid Icarus.
Tournament legality[]
This stage is banned in competitive play, as the bottom platform promotes camping and the outside platforms make recovery awkward.
Origin[]
Pit flying over Palutena's Temple in Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Palutena's Shrine is based on Palutena's Temple, also known as the Palace in the Sky, which originates from Kid Icarus. It is the central palace of Skyworld, the heavenly world home to the goddess of light Palutena and her army, and serves as her base. In Kid Icarus, the goddess of darkness Medusa takes over Skyworld and imprisons Palutena in her temple, which serves as the final level of the game, in which Pit uses the Three Sacred Treasures to fly to the palace for the final battle against Medusa. In Kid Icarus: Uprising, Pit emerges from Palutena's Temple at the start of his missions and is brought back upon their completion. After Palutena is taken over by the Chaos Kin, her temple falls apart, prompting Pit to traverse its ruins and fight his own former allies in order to rescue her, culminating in a fight with the possessed Palutena herself.
The stage in SSF2 is based on Palutena's Temple's appearance as a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which itself uses its overall design from Kid Icarus: Uprising except without its ruinous form in the game, instead using a brighter color palette reminiscent of the Skyworld stage from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The main platform is based on that used on the Ω form of the stage, which also takes place in front of a large Palutena statue, similarly to the arena where Palutena is fought in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The floating islands in the background are also the same as those featured on the stage.
