“	One of the Chariot Master's most prized possessions, the Lightning Chariot blazes through the heavens at the slightest pull of its unicorns' reins. Its extreme speed is matched only by the destructive shots fired from the unicorns' horns.	„
	~ The Lightning Chariot's Idol Description

“	It's a superfast battle carriage that travels the galaxy. It's also pulled by unicorns!	„
	~ Viridi explaining the Lightning Chariot to Pit

Background

Phos and Lux are two unicorns that are required to operate the Lightning Chariot. They are capable of moving through space at great speeds and have the ability to fire shots from their horns. The chariot itself is a small, red vehicle with two wheels, and gold and green decal.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of the Lightning Chariot's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Chapter 19: The Lightning Chariot In need of the Lightning Chariot, Pit travels to the Lightning Chariot Base, where he meets the Chariot Master. Pit attempts to ask him for the Lightning Chariot, but the Chariot Master adamantly refuses, forcing the angel to seek him out at the top of the tower. Once Pit reaches the top, the Chariot Master instructs him to grab Phos's reins, and the two begin racing on a track in order to prove Pit's worth. After the Chariot Master's defeat, he deems Pit worthy of the Lightning Chariot, entrusting it to him before passing away peacefully. Chapter 20: Palutena's Temple Pit takes the Lightning Chariot through a warp tunnel to Palutena's Temple, where he pierces through the force field surrounding the area. After Pit lands, Phosphora zips in to rein in the loose chariot. After the Chaos Kin escapes through a portal with Palutena's soul, Dark Pit uses the Lightning Chariot to break the portal open again. Chapter 23: Lord of the Underworld Stuck inside of Hades' Belly, Pit travels upward until he encounters Hades's Heart, which engages him in battle. After its defeat, Hades's Heart explodes, sending Pit flying into the air. Fortunately, this explosion alerts Dark Pit to Pit's presence, allowing him to fly in on the Lightning Chariot and rescue Pit. Hades attempts to grab the chariot upon its escape, but Palutena quickly extracts it along with the two angels. Kid Icarus: Uprising Epilogue After Hades' defeat, Viridi continues to keep the Lightning Chariot in her forces, likely giving Dark Pit full access to it as he's used it the most of anyone at that time.

Weaknesses: Needs rider to be used properly, otherwise Phos and Lux will run around aimlessly.

Note: Due to Sakurai being the prime developer for both Kid Icarus Uprising and Super Smash Bros., we can take Pit and co.'s abilities and dialogue as a secondary canon for Kid Icarus's lore since Palutena's guidance stays relative to Kid Icarus's story and even further fleshes its epilogue out. See the verse page for further explanation.
