Pit was originally supposed to be in the original Super Smash Bros., but was replaced by Jigglypuff, in order to get more sales (Jigglypuff is from a much more popular series than Pit). He then made a cameo as a collectible Trophy is Super Smash Bros. Melee.

He will finally become playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Pit will be able to shoot light arrows that can be slightly directed, and will also be able to break his sacred bow of Palutena into two blades for some up close combat. He is shown to be able to jump multiple times like Kirby or Meta Knight, and to glide. Pit will be voiced by Minami Takayama.

In the Subspace Emissary of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pit apparently joins the story early in the game. He sees the devastation of the Subspace Army's Subspace Bomb, and is sent by Palutena to go assist the other heroes in defeating the Subspace Army. He hurries down to the world, so he can help the other defeat the Subspace Army. He lands on a spot near the Halberd, and has to fight Primid that are appearing. He also finds Mario, transformed into a trophy. He awakens him and the two team up.
