I’ve always found the Grim Reaper to be an interesting character, whether it’s a punk styled snaggly toothed gal in a puzzle game or a pale white guy being annoyed by Bill and Ted, it has always seemed like a fun and interesting character to me. The Grim Reaper in Kid Icarus is equally as awesome for not only getting his own little theme music, but for being able to call upon miniature versions of himself (called The “Reapettes”) to attack poor Pitt. That alone makes him awesome.
June calling upon a troop of mini-June-Deaths however… is just plain scary.
I still say the Grim Reaper’s theme from Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters is better. I could never get into the original Kid Icarus for some reason… Other than the whole “you can’t climb DOWN’ thing, I mean. I guess Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters spoiled the crap out of me.
Haha! Poor Shelly.
It’s been so long since I played Kid Icarus. But god I remember the Grim Reaper was so damned annoying!
