-'''Meta Knightmare''' is an [[Extra Game]] that appears exclusively in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. As the name implies, it stars the masked swordsman - [[Meta Knight]], and has him race through all seven levels from the main game in one long time attack to defeat [[King Dedede]] at the end. To unlock this game, the player must complete both the Main Game and the [[Extra Game]] [[100% completion|100%]].
+'''Meta Knightmare''' is a [[Sub-Game]] that appears exclusively in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. As the name implies, it stars the masked swordsman - [[Meta Knight]], and has him race through all seven levels from the main game in one long time attack to defeat [[King Dedede]] at the end. To unlock this game, the player must complete both the Main Game and the [[Extra Mode]].
-This is the first title of the "Meta Knightmare" time attack series, the later two being [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] from ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.
+Meta Knightmare can be considered an Extra Mode due to being a more difficult version of the main game, though it is not officially counted as one. This is the first title of the "Meta Knightmare" time attack series, the later two being [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] from ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.
-==Gameplay Differences==
+==Gameplay differences==
-Like in the Extra Game, Meta Knight only has three bars of [[stamina]]. His move-set is a modified version of the [[Sword]] move-set, with some unique attacks, and the ability to fly quickly using his wings. In addition, Meta Knight's sword is capable of breaking [[Metal Block]]s, pounding [[Post]]s and lighting [[Fuse]]s. Meta Knight does not battle [[Nightmare]], so the game will be complete after beating [[King Dedede]]. It is not necessary to press any of the [[Big Switch]]es along the way, as the [[Sub-Game]]s they normally open access to are all locked, along with the ones out in the open.
+Meta Knightmare is the series' first "time attack" mode, where the player is challenged to complete the main game as quickly as possible. However, it bears some notable differences from later time attack modes: instead of being automatically taken from stage to stage, Meta Knight goes through the [[level hub]]s like normal, and there are no formal checkpoints where Meta Knight can rest (though the level hubs can be considered such).
-The player is not able to save any progress made in Meta Knightmare, so to complete the game, it will need to be done in a single power session. Likewise, if Meta Knight runs out of lives, the game will be over, with no chance to continue. Once the game is complete, the time taken to complete it will be displayed to the player and placed in a top time scoreboard if it qualifies.
+Like in the Extra Game, Meta Knight only has three bars of [[health]]. His moveset is a modified version of the [[Sword]] moveset, with some unique attacks, and the ability to fly quickly using his wings, like the [[Wing]] ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. In addition, Meta Knight's sword is capable of breaking [[metal block]]s, pounding [[Stake]]s and lighting [[Fuse]]s, allowing him to get past puzzles that [[Kirby]] would require Copy Abilities for. While the [[Big Switch]]es along the way are still accessible, it is not necessary (and, in fact, detrimental) to press any of them, as all [[Sub-Game]]s are locked. This, in turn, means that it is much more difficult to obtain [[1-Up]]s.
+Unlike later time attack modes, the player is not able to save any progress made in Meta Knightmare, so to complete the game, it will need to be done in a single power session. But, if Meta Knight runs out of lives, the game will have the continue option. Meta Knight does not battle [[Nightmare]], so the game will be complete after beating [[King Dedede]]. After doing so, the completion time will be displayed to the player.
 ==Trivia==
-*Meta Knight fights himself at the end of [[Orange Ocean]], which is amusing, to say the least.
+*Amusingly, Meta Knight fights himself at the end of [[Orange Ocean]].
 **Future Meta Knightmare titles would not have Meta Knight battling himself, instead fighting a similar opponent ([[Galacta Knight]] in [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]] and [[Stock Mecha Knight]] in [[Meta Knightmare Returns]]). Meta Knight can fight himself as a [[Dream Friend]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', however.
