In the peaceful kingdom of Angel Land, the light goddess Palutena grew angry with how the goddess of darkness Medusa treated mankind. After being banished to the Underworld. Medusa joined forces with the monsters and waged war against Palutena's Sky Palace.
Using the last of her magic, Palutena contacted the head of her guards, the valiant angel warrior Pit. Armed with a bow and arrow, Pit must travel through the Underworld, Overworld and Sky World and retrieve three Sacred Treasures from the dungeons there if he is to defeat Medusa.
Train with Zeus, complete the challenges and buy more powerful weapons, then free Palutena's Soldiers from Medusa's spell to help you take out the boss characters.
A 3D remake of the game developed by Arika for the Nintendo 3DS and released as a special promotional download in Japan and Europe. The game plays the same as the original, but new background designs have been added and it's more clear which platforms are solid and which can be passed through.

The Famicom Disk System featured an extra sound channel that was not available on the Famicom or NES, so several songs have extra instruments and enemies make different sound effects than they do in the cartridge version. The songs with extra instruments are: the title screen, the ending and the Game Over screen.
Also changed is the saving system. On the Famicom Disk System, the game could be saved much like The Legend of Zelda. Outside of Japan, the game featured a password system that would have to be entered each time you started the game.
One of the flying type enemies that appears in the Sky World is Komayto, a seethrough creature with protruding teeth and three internal nuclei. Its design is based on the Metroids from the Metroid series, with the first Metroid game released only 4 months earlier.
The name has been localised from the Japanese "Kometo", which would more accurately translate as "Child Met".
