Dark Pit - number 39
Dark Pit amiibo – Super Smash Bros. Series
Name: “Dark Pit” stays the same across the main release regions. Release window: July 2015.
Write capability
In Super Smash Bros. titles, the figure supports read and write use. Fighter data can be saved to the amiibo and updated over time. Outside Smash Bros., scans commonly behave as read-only rewards, with fixed unlocks rather than stored training data.
Look, design, pose
The figure shows Dark Pit in a forward-leaning fighting stance on the round Smash base. The wings are spread wide, angled upward, with layered feather sculpting. The bow is held out in front in a ready-to-strike moment, with the body turned slightly so the pose reads as motion rather than a straight portrait.
The outfit follows the Kid Icarus: Uprising design: dark clothing with gold trim, dark wings, and the black laurel crown. The face is focused, a tight expression. The pose aligns with how Dark Pit is presented in Super Smash Bros. promotional artwork for the Wii U / Nintendo 3DS era: weapon forward, wings open, a clean silhouette made for readability.
Meaning in games, and why this character matters
Dark Pit comes from Kid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo 3DS) as a counterpart to Pit. In Super Smash Bros., he functions as a distinct fighter identity within the same visual language. The amiibo locks onto that version: the rival-like stance, the darker palette, and the “ready” posture that fits a versus game.
Compatible systems, games, and scan effects
Nintendo 3DS: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Scanning creates a trainable Figure Player (FP). The FP can level up, adapt to match patterns, and store progress on the amiibo.
Wii U: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Same FP training loop, with data written back to the figure. The value here is repeat use: training, saving, bringing the FP to other setups.
Nintendo Switch: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Scanning creates an amiibo fighter that can be trained and saved. Spirits can be assigned to shape behavior and stats, with the setup stored on the figure for later sessions.
Wii U: Super Mario Maker. Scanning can unlock the Dark Pit costume via the Mystery Mushroom feature.
Wii U / Nintendo 3DS: Yoshi’s Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World. Scanning can unlock a character-themed Yoshi pattern.

Nintendo 3DS: Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash. Scanning can unlock an amiibo-related bonus (presentation-style figure content).
Conclusion
The Dark Pit amiibo’s main value is practical and repeatable in Super Smash Bros.: creating a personal FP, training it, and carrying that saved fighter between sessions and systems. The sculpt supports that identity with a pose that reads as “versus-ready.” In other compatible games, the value shifts to quick unlocks and themed extras, light additions that still connect back to the character.
