Kid Icarus is one of my favorite NES games. I played it a lot and I beat it quite a few times! It is often called the "companion" game to Metroid, and the two games do share a similar graphic and music style. Unlike Metroid, Kid Icarus's setting is not outer space, but a mythcial world based somewhat in part on Greek mythology. (Although, many of the monsters are unlike anything you've ever seen before!) It has that same sort of dark and gloomy atmosphere of Metroid, which sort of gives it a "gothic" feeling. Kid Icarus is also one of the most difficult games for the NES. This shrine is meant to showcase one of  my favorite and most unusual games.
