Game Modes
There are a variety of exciting ways to immerse yourself in the world of Kid Icarus: Uprising, as you take on Medusa and her army. Here are some of them.
Play Solo
In the solo campaign, a single player controls Pit as he travels the land on Palutena’s behalf, battling Medusa’s dark hordes.
Play Together
A robust multiplayer mode allows up to six players to square off in arena matches locally, or online.
AR Card Battle
AR Mode lets players battle one another in the real world using specially designed AR Cards representing major game characters.
If you manage to open the right panels, you'll receive rewards such as weapons, powers, hearts, idols, and more!
Treasure Hunt
Treasure Hunt panels are gradually opened as you clear certain conditions during play. These conditions include things such as "Clear Chapter 4 within 20 minutes" or "Acquire 10 powers". You may also get a special feather that lets you open a panel of choice.
Idol Toss
In Idol Toss, you place a special egg onto a golden tray and shoot it into the air, where an Idol will appear!
You'll collect eggs for Idol Toss as you proceed through the game, but you can also buy them using Play Coins.
An egg is launched…
An Idol appears!

Story
Medusa, Queen of Darkness, once wreaked havoc on the land—only to be defeated 25 years ago. Now she has returned with her Underworld Army to mount an invasion.
All that stands in her way are Palutena, the pure and benevolent Goddess of Light, and her servant Pit, the commander of the guard.
Pit is our hero, a strong-willed angel who receives the gift of flight from Palutena to descend from the heavens and eradicate the dark hordes. Will he emerge victorious from the great challenges ahead?
