Overworld

The Overworld (地上界 Chijō-kai, "Surface World") is one of the three major realms in the Kid Icarus series, alongside the Underworld and Skyworld.

Kid Icarus: Uprising[]

Commonly referred to as the earth or surface world, the Overworld is home to mankind as well as many landmarks, such as numerous towns, Dark Lord Gaol's Castle, and the Final Battleground.

It is often used as a battlefield for wars, whether it be between the humans or the gods—as such, the Overworld is typically on the verge of collapse, and its residents are constantly under attack.
