Kid Icarus: Uprising/Awesome

Kid Icarus: Uprising

• Chapter 5:
  • Dark Pit's introduction during the battle with Pandora, especially when he knocks her down with a single punch!
• Chapter 7:
  • The Space Pirates. They go around stealing constellations and then sell them on the black market or use them for fuel.
  • They also put up an impressive fight against the Underworld forces. One scene in particular shows a pair of Space Pirate Snipers fighting a Clubberskull! The Snipers win.
• Chapter 9:
  • Dark Pit knocking out the Underworld Gatekeeper (a giant flying robot) with a side kick from above.
• Chapter 14:
  • Throughout the air section, you are treated to an awesome backdrop of Thanatos and Phosphora duking it out.
• Chapter 16:
  • Hades of all people gets one in-universe when he throws an Aurum ship into their own mothership.

Viridi: That. Was. Awesome.

• Chapter 17:
  • When Pit's Power of Flight runs out, Viridi comes to your rescue by having some of her troops carry a chunk of rock to serve as a platform, culminating in the troops performing a Heroic Sacrifice to save Pit from Pyrrhon's massive column of fire.
  • The Centurions of all people save you from falling to your death again by carrying another chunk of rock to serve as your platform while helping you fight off some of the Aurum. The music certainly helps.
• Chapter 18:
  • The entire level is a Melee a Trois between the Underworld forces, an army of Centurions led by Pit's brainwashed body, and Magnus. The fact that he even registers as a threat alone would be a Moment Of Awesome for the character, but winning makes it even better.
  • Pit's response to facing someone so powerful that they lazily toss islands at him? "Send me in there".
• Chapter 21:
  • The latter half of the aerial section where Pit is chasing the real Chaos Kin. The combination of all the stuff flying at you, the sense of urgency, and the Crowning Music of Awesome just make this part so incredibly epic.
  • The end where Pit chooses to save Dark Pit at the cost of burning his own wings. Dark Pit's response is shown in the next chapter where he decides to dive into the Underworld to save Pit.
• Chapter 25:
  • The entire Final Boss Battle
  • The sequence where Hades fires some dark arrows at Pit, right before the Great Sacred Treasure transforms to the Mech Armor mode definitely counts as one for the animating team.
  • Medusa showing up near the end of the final battle and punching Hades strong enough to obliterate his head entirely. Shame it doesn't end well for her.

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Thanatos Rising

• In Thanatos Rising part 3, despite Thanatos having the advantage over Pit and having a huge opportunity to kill him, he decides to toy with Pit and throw spike bombs while Pit hanging over the edge. Not only does Pit dodge everything thrown at him while still holding on to the ledge but he uses his other hand to shoot the gear above him effectively defeating Thanatos when it falls on him. And this is while Thanatos is taunting him.
