'''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters''' is the sequel to the original [[Kid Icarus]] and the series' last game until its revival twenty years later. The game was built off the ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus|Metroid II]]'' engine, similar to the way that its predecessor worked off of the ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' engine. The original release never made it to Japan, even though the previous game had been, and the game itself was made in Japan. Like the ''Metroid'' series, the ''Kid Icarus'' series had enjoyed more popularity abroad than locally and was considered more of a cult hit.

Long ago, in the days when Gods and Men lived in harmony, [[Palutena]] the leader of [[Angel Land]] summoned [[Pit]] to her palace. She had been having terrible dreams that foreboded the rise of the demon [[Orcos]]. This demon was so powerful that the soothsayer who spoke of it was stricken silent just by saying it.

In order to combat this demon, Palutena and Pit devised a mission that would prepare Pit to wear the Three Sacred Treasures necessary to defeat Orcos. He would start from the Underworld, pass through the Overworld, and continue up the Sky Palace until he had mastered all three treasures and conquered the fortress beasts that held them.

The ''Kid Icarus'' series went twenty years without a sequel following this game's release, and the existence of this game was mostly glossed over during ''Icarus'' references in other games (such as ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', which jokes about ''Kid Icarus'' having no sequels). However, the changes in Pit's design from ''Myths and Monsters'' (the addition of laurels in his hair and blue eyes) were incorporated into his ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' appearance.

Although the game never had a follow up, the original game has been ported on two different platforms. However the changes in Pit's design in ''Myths and Monsters'' (the addition of laurels in his hair and blue eyes) were incorporated into his [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] appearance.
