Taken from wikipedia

"Kid Icarus is often compared to Metroid (which was released the same year), as it uses the same game engine. It even includes a Metroid enemy, though it is called "Komayto" in Kid Icarus. The game manual theorizes that Komayto may have come from another planet.[1] In volume 204 of Nintendo Power, an article was written about the game describing it as blending together elements from The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., and Metroid"

conclusion : kid icarus was a mash up of all nintendo's main heros

I'm saying that even tough Pit and his game was made from those charater and their game elaments it doesn't mean he's bad even though he's not original

PIT CAN NEVER DIE
