Meta Knight is a recurring character in the Kirby series, who first appeared in Kirby's Adventure. He is a mysterious figure and his backstory is not known. The installments he appears in usually feature him as a boss, though there are instances where he and Kirby team up.

History

This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible. No reason has been specified.

Kirby's Adventure

Mata Knight makes his first appearance during the events of Kirby's Adventure for the Nintendo Entertainment System. During the game he is one of King Dedede's friends who guard the seven pieces of the Star Rod in order to seal away Nightmare. He could be seen in several instances before Kirby gets the chance to fight him, though. Meta Knight appears in several levels, where he taunts Kirby, before he summons his minions, the Meta Knights, to fight Kirby. In the boss stage of Orange Ocean then, Meta Knight himself decides to challenge Kirby to a duel. Kirby has to make full use of the Sword ability here in order to win.

It is notable that Meta Knights body appears to be black in this game, as opposed to his usual blue color.

Kirby Super Star

Meta Knight comes back as an antagonist in the game Kirby Super Star, where he has an entire sub-game dedicated to him, called Revenge of Meta Knight. Central point of this game is the warship Halberd, which Meta Knight tries to utilize to conquer Dream Land, in order to end the inhabitants' lazy lifestyles. During his assault on Dreamland however, he constantly has to deal with Kirby who is trying to stop his ambitions. After having been seen during numerous cutscenes, Meta Knight finally engages Kirby in a duel reminiscent of their duel in Kirby's Adventure. Kirby manages to defeat him, though, and the Halberd is short of being destroyed. While Kirby tries to escape from the descending warship on a Wheelie, Meta Knight makes one last effort to stop Kirby by attacking him in anger. This fails however, and the Halberd can be seen falling into the ocean after that.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

Meta Knight appears again in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, where he is seen flying into the Mirror World in order to save it.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Meta Knight becomes a playable character. He is one of three characters that can fly, the others being Charizard and Pit.

Physical Appearance

Meta Knight appears as a blue, roundish creature, with a physique similar to that of Kirby. His most prominent feature is a heavy silver mask, which makes his eyes glow in a bright yellow. He also wears purple shoes, metal shoulder base plates, and a purple cape which he can transform into two large bat wings. He is often seen wielding his trademark sword, the Galaxia. During rare occasions when Meta Knight drops his mask, he looks strikingly similar to Kirby, albeit his body is blue and his facial features are white.

Personality

Meta Knight is what can be described as a passionate swordsman, and a well-intended extremist. He features a quite combative personality, and is constantly striving to be the best sword fighter in Dreamland. This is shown in Kirby Super Star Ultra, where he wishes to best Galacta Knight, the strongest fighter of the universe. He also seems to despise laziness, as shown in Kirby Super Star. Meta Knight is very well known for following a stern warrior codex, and when he challenges someone, he is usually looking for a fair and equal match. Whenever Kirby has to fight him for different reasons, he provides him with a sword for protection, and insists that Kirby uses it. Meta Knight also has a habit to conceal his face for unknown reasons. Whenever his mask breaks during a fight, he hides his face in his cape and instantly leaves the battle field.
