Palutena's Guidance can only be used on Palutena's Temple, and is performed by rapidly pressing the button which activates Pit's down taunt. Aside from Piranha Plant, all downloadable characters share a generic "placeholder" conversation. Pit then receives information on one of his opponents this applies to every character in the game, including himself, and additional conversations for the Koopalings and the male Wii Fit Trainer. Kneels down before contacting Palutena, Viridi, Dark Pit (when fighting against him, Wolf or the Ice Climbers) and even Alucard (when fighting against Richter). Smash Taunt: Activates Palutena's Guidance.This is the only taunt that does not split his Bow into blades if it was in bow form beforehand. Down taunt: Spreads out his arms and wings, during which a few feathers are loosed from his wings.Side taunt: Separates the Palutena Bow and then flourishes its blades before striking a pose while saying "That all you got?" ( まだまだ!, Not just yet!) It is similar to Pit's animation during the end of Skyworld's first cutscene in The Subspace Emissary.Up taunt: Separates the Palutena Bow and crouches down, then twirls its blades before standing up, crossing them over his head and saying "Come on!" ( 勝負だ!, Let's battle!).It is similar to the animation Luigi performs when he loses a minigame in Mario Party 2. One of the few taunts in the game to inflict damage it deals 2% and meteor smashes opponents with high set knockback, making it a surprisingly reliable combo starter onstage and allowing it to one-hit KO opponents offstage or hanging on edges. Down taunt: Bashfully kicks the ground while sighing.Side taunt: Planks while saying "Pow pow!" Due to it moving Luigi forward into the z-axis and lowering his hurtbox, some attacks may actually miss him as a result.Assumes a fearful position with his hands on his cheeks, mimicking his artwork from Luigi's Mansion.Based on his Bogey animation from Mario Golf 64. Crouches down to the floor with his back turned to the player.This pose is, in some respects, similar to his Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time artwork. Holds his finger under his nose, his eyes looking at the player.Points both his fingers in the direction he is facing, looking frightened.Bears a resemblance to the Item-Get Pose from Luigi's Mansion. When switching from pose to pose he says, "Hoh, hah, hee, heh, hoo!" Up taunt: Performs five quick poses, one after the other.Unlike the other two taunts, Kazooie is not present. Identical to the latter half of the animation seen when all 10 Jiggies in a world are collected or when a Note Door is unlocked in Banjo-Kazooie. Down taunt: Banjo bows twice, saying his signature "Guh-huh!" each time.Based on their introductory pose in the opening sequence of Banjo-Kazooie. Side taunt: Kazooie pops out of Banjo's backpack and the duo looks at each other, then Banjo strikes a thumbs up while Kazooie happily opens her wings.Based on an idle animation from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Up taunt: Banjo stretches and Kazooie appears out of his backpack, yawning.
