Meh, I beat this, Mega Man, Super Mario Bros 2, Punch-Out, Rygar, Ghostbusters, and Zelda back in 1988 when I was 8. I beat Metroid, Dragon Power, Blaster Master, Bionic Commando, Zelda 2, The Guardian Legend, Captain Skyhawk, Castlevania 2, and Mega Man 2 the year after. I was a salty and persistent little asshole as a kid. Should have played more. :P

Did you beat it at that age? I must have got this between 12-13 years old and I don't think I got far. Now, I'm thinking about playing it ASAP because I'm intrigued by nostalgia and what I missed out on being a young gamer.
@@chaleowin7732 It's such a challenging game. I'm pretty far along now playing it on Switch as an adult. Feels great to revisit it and look forward to finishing the game soon.
@@misterturkturkle Only 1 game in the "Kid Icarus game series" and yeah I had the game, could never beat it, it was INSANELY difficult, you know how sometimes you see a person do something and are like, "Man he is making it look Easy" Well this guy is a MASTER at this game, and even he could not make the game look easy, lol, it still looked hard AF.
@@rollingdice3679 I'm 55 and I haven't played it in probably 10 years but I remember how hard it was, I couldn't get passed 1-4, I kept getting turned into a Egg Plant lol
In Japan, on the Famicom Disk System, this game is referred to as 光神話 パルテナの鏡 (Hikaru Shinwa: Parutena no Kagami), which literally means "Myth of Light: Palutena's Mirror." The FDS version features a save file screen with three save slots, which displays your score and how many hearts you've collected. A top 5 high score list appears on the bottom half of the screen. The NES version used a password system instead. The FDS version has an ending that was removed from the NES version, but the NES version has an ending that is not in the FDS version. There is no staff roll in the FDS version.
@@olesyam8538 Which means that I have to play through the game twice to see it all. The second play through is basically New Game+, as you’ll get to go through the game a second time with the sacred arrow upgrade in tow.
Watchedbmy older brother finish this game when I was a little boy, miss you big brother, remember we screamed when he got to the last level. Great memories.
Technically yes both are by Nintendo but in all seriousness this game only had a team of 1 or 2 people so the team that made Metroid helped them out. Also Komaytos are pretty much metroids
@Stimulator7 It's been said during various interviews that it's actually running on the same game engine as the one used for Metroid, but I find both games to be totally different!! Kid Icarus is a more linear stage progression action game while Metroid is arguably a more non-linear open-ended adventure game, right??
The first "Reaper" I've seen was in Smash Bros 3DS in Smash Run. Was wondering the "Origin Game" behind that game and it turns out to be Kid Icarus. Beautiful game for the 80s
Man... when I played this (so many years ago), I had to use the 4 and lotsa u's password, because I was desperate to get to the end. In those fortresses, I ALWAYS get nailed by the Eggplant Wizard's curse! My hat's off for this player!
I love this game. But it's also one of those interesting games that becomes easier the further in you go. Nonetheless, a great game. And in sixth grade, when I played this game, it took a few weeks to figure out how to beat Medusa.
Not here in 2-4 you lose that awesome firing, you see here at 2-4 he's back to just a little gun like in the beginning. No way this is a person, nobody can play this game without dying
This game had a huge impact on gaming in my childhood. Between this, Super Mario. Bros and Mike Tyson's Punch out, I must have spent months worth of time on them.
Much as I like Kid icarus for the NES, this was not a simple game to play. I remember playing this game countless times and I use to slam my controller on my bed due to frustration! But that's what made me keep coming back playing this game. I love a good challenge and I beat it to get the different endings!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that would slam his controller out of frustration. This game and battle toads would frustrate me to no end!! But I just couldn't let them beat me. So I rented them both every weekend at the local game store for the longest time. :)
+Charlie Cat My friend and I would play and the other would take over when the other got too pissed. After dying repeatedly even the music would drive us nuts and we'd start singing obscenities to it, especially the reaper and boss battle music. As a result the reaper music still makes me laugh even now... man those late nights playing NES were awesome.
I've been gaming for decades, but Kid Icarus never caught my attention until now. What a fantastic-looking game. Great art direction with colors that really pop out, and the gameplay looks a lot of fun.
+DylanDude120 - The Thrower of Shells I didn't watch it all either but I recall that that ladder down where he got hit was a must-be-hit location so I think it doesn't really qualify as any less flawless as there is no way around it? Not 100% certain but that spot always did the same to me.
+thezaxxon1982 As ya can see, your hp bar is significantly small at the beginning of this game. So ya gotta give your best to avoid every enemy n trap til it grows up enough in order that ya don't die so easily.
The fact this guy can get everything right without getting the God of Poverty takes some mad skills. Even if I got the perfect ending, I just gave up on those rooms because I failed every time.
GintaxAlvissforever If I remember correctly there was a strategy to clearing the treasure rooms. Cant remember it exactly but it was something like shooting the top left pot first, then the one below it and then the one in the bottom right. If you shoot them in that order, you will never find the god of poverty. After the first three, you were supposed to count mallets/axes and depending on how many you had found in the first three pots you could figure out the other pots.
Umm... you do know he’s cheating his ass off on this play through, right? Save states and editing software. Make it look like every restart is a seamless play through...
That Grim Reaper scared the hell outta me when I was a kid, and I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD SHOOT UP!!!!! Damn, maybe that’s why I never got very far in this game when I was little..! I’m still not sure what exactly those Groucho glasses and mustaches looking guys in those rooms are all about..
I have memories of this game as young as 4 years old. It brings a tear. I know I was 4 because my evil older brother traded this amazing game. Though this game remains a fond memory.
My friend around the block had this and we didn’t and it was the only game of his I ever wanted to play. I’d be happy to watch his play it and get past Id seen. Great games
Me and my family loved the multiple endings on this game when I was a kid. I remember we left the NES on for 3 days, beating the game over and over, just to see the various endings :)
When you beat Kid Icarus, let the ending play through then you can play level 1 with some advanced times. Repeat this a few times and your score gets huge. Other tactic, try to win the barrel it the most expensive item.
The seven year old in me who remembers NES games loves this playthrough, but the adult I've become is like "uhhh isn't Icarus the angel that gets royally f*cked by the sun" almost a bad omen to name your character this lol
I just got to stage 1-4 (I played it today for the first time). It was so hard to get there that I was already so bored and I decided not to keep playing
i just downloaded this 3D classic game yesterday on my 3DS and it's so much fun. The coolest thing is they added the background and it looked gorgeous.
Just spent the last of my Club N coins on the 3D Classics version, and it was my first honest attempt at Kid Icarus. After getting more or less schooled for several hours, it is mind-blowing watching you breeze through it with no hits.
Every single noise every single song is engrained into my memory, to this day i whistle many of them without realizing it. Also super mario 2, hahah crazy
This is one of the hardest NES games and also I never had the chance to play on the NES but the NES classic released and also virtual console to enjoy iconic games from 80s and 90s

When you beat Kid Icarus, let the ending play through then you can play level 1 with some advanced times. Repeat this a few times and your score gets huge. Other tactic, try to win the barrel it the most expensive item.
1 of the advanced times is getting your first attack upgrade in the very first room in stage 1-1. It’s empty otherwise.
