A screenshot of the end of stage 3-3.

Taken with the emulator FCEUX.

Kid Icarus

Whole screen, single screenshot.

Yes. The screenshot uses the game's native resolution of 256×224 pixels. Decreasing the image size even further would render the graphical details indiscernible.

The image is used to demonstrate the gameplay, setting and graphics of Kid Icarus. It exemplifies details talked about in the prose, such as the two-dimensional graphics with black backgrounds, the influences from Greek mythology, the playable character, and gameplay elements such as enemy battles, the health bar, the heart count and doors to chambers. It highlights these elements in a way the article text itself could not describe as intricately, and thus enhances the readers' understanding of the prose.

As the video game is copyrighted, there is no free alternative available.

This screenshot does not allow users to make illegal copies of the software, and does not diminish Nintendo's ability to market the software.
