The Babel Club is a Club introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. The club resembles the Tower of Babel in biblical legend, and where it gets its name from. It has "clouds" around the top, adding to the overall realism of the resemblance. Its charged shots create a huge storm that deals heavy damage to several foes multiple times, but at the cost of having the longest charge time of any weapon, requiring five seconds to charge.

Trivia[]
- The club is based on the Tower of Babel from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. According to the story, a group of humans speaking one language settle in Shinar and begin building a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens. Yahweh, seeing the power of their unity, confuses their language and scatters them across the earth, leaving the tower incomplete. The club's Idol description directly references the story.
- The appearance of the club specifically seems to be based on the tower's depiction in the three paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, with clouds surrounding the top of the tower.
- The club has the longest charge time of any weapon in Uprising, needing about five seconds to charge.
